#GratitudeChallengeDay4 Something mysterious had hit me after I got married some years ago. My landlady issued me with a quit notice...a police backed quit notice (Her husband was a Commissioner of Police at the time). Just at the same time, my salary was stopped. There were no real reason for this stoppage. My boss and landlady were both loving people who we shared a long history of family relationship. Those police boys hurriedly pushed me out and my boss was not willing to release any of my salaries. I pitied my newly married wife. Her joy had been cut short. After 10 long months without salary, preceding from my first month of being married, I finally quit the job. My friend who allowed me to stay in his apartment had grown weary of me and also closed his doors. I didnt have anywhere to turn to. Like the prodigal son, I packed my bags and went back to my father. At that point I was a broken man. No income, no accommodation, my marriage was beginning to crack. I was deeply depressed and lost staggering amount of flesh. At various points, I entertained suicidal thoughts but my Christian belief wont let me. Then one business deal went through successfully, I got some money I reasoned would help me relaunch my life. I returned to Lagos and paid for an apartment and heaved a sigh of relief. The house would be completed in 2 weeks, so I went back to the east to join my people celebrate Christmas. I went shopping for the apartment and spent a lot of money to make it cool for my wife. Then I went back to Lagos to occupy and possess my possession. I called the property agent but his numbers were switched off. Initially I didnt suspect any foul play, but it didnt take long before it dawned on me. I had been duped. My money had gone down the drain. I was now back to square one and my misery continued. My gratitude goes to the Almighty who saved me from the jaws of death and other unpleasantness. The bible said the righteous will rise even though they fall seven times. While I do not claim to be righteous, I dont have any doubt I am a child of God. I have been restored to levels far beyond my trouble days. Even while I passed through the valleys of shadow of death, my God was with me. He promised me a seven-fold restoration and I confess received beyond that measure. Join me to praise our great God whose faithfulness is for evermore. May His name be exalted forever
