God prepared a table for me in the presence of my enemies and Not in Thier absence. Meaning the enemies brought the table that God used to prepare my blessings.

I love your counter lessons.
[s]If he had been harder working he would have been able to afford a taxi and non of this would happen. So, another lesson: don’t be too hardworking![/s]
He might be saving for books

[s]Another lesson: don’t plan ahead, be an irresponsible person and arrive just any how[/s]
He used what he can afford. He didn't arrive late

[s]Another lesson: don’t care about embarrassing your self and your family[/s]
Maybe he even wore his Christmas clothes.

[s]Another lesson: don’t network with people who’d be able to give u a ride. Be a loner.[/s]
He can network but don't necessarily have to blend. Blending is like you want to be exactly like them. You know if we blend tomatoes with rodo/tatashe pepper, you can't separate them again. They look the same after blending. Network means you are still your self. You have your own "IP address" but you request resources/info from others

I have one question: Do u believe that if u really want something badly enough, you’d get it? If u answer yes, it negates all your points. It’s his mates that are millionaires hustling. If he really wanted he’d have arrived differently. Which goes to prove, sometimes it pays to be a slacker.
*Funny how no one considers he may be a slacker who simply doesn’t care enough. Goes to prove, people go by emotions - whatever emotion the image invokes*

If this story was shared in a church as a testimony, many people will not believe it. God can use ANYTHING to enthrone or dethrone ANYONE.

obamartins:
Have You Ever Witnessed Someone's Life Fully Change In One Instant? See This.

God can turn your mockers' attempt to ridicule you to a blessing. Don't allow people to put you down, no matter what. Now here is the Story.

Meet Henry Suubi. The boy who reported to university with only a empty metallic case and racksack.

August 2019 this poor boy reports for his first day at Makerere University, the main University in Uganda and one of the biggest in Africa. He arrives carrying his luggage to his attached hall of residence, while other kids are being dropped off.

Henry is not aware that his life is about to change dramatically. Coming from a poor background, deep down in the village, he is the third born in a family of eight children raised by a struggling single mother. Henry is lucky to have scored well in his high school exams and the government awarded him a scholarship to study Bachelor of Science in education. Upon Henry's uncool arrival at campus another cool kid takes his photo and then uploads it on social media to mock this village-belly to earn likes and comments. Well, the photo goes viral!

That's how Henry Suubi met God.

A Ugandan senior journalist employed at BBC commits to run a campaign on twitter to change Henry's life. From then up to now, Henry is still receiving gifts. Let me outline a few I have on my fingertips

First, he is invited to the chancellor's office and the chancellor promises him any parental help he will ever need while at university

- A private company has offered to pay for his dream course (Bachelor of science and mechanical engineering) for all the three years

- Restaurants and hotels have committed to give and deliver him lunch and dinner all his three years of the university.

- Several companies have promised and given him shopping

- Henry received over 10 laptops from individuals and companies including his first smartphone

- Designer boutiques have given him clothes and shoes and they promise to do this all through his campus life

- Did I mention that Henry has already got a job, oh engineering companies promised him jobs and internship even before his first university assignment

- The French embassy and ambassador have given him a fully paid trip to Paris whenever he is ready

Well, the list is endless, including getting free sponsorships for his young siblings at home.
I hope I have answered your question. He later met with the boy who took the photo.

that's nice.

I could remember going through same situation some few years ago. mine was worse because I had already envisaged how I was going to lit up the environment when I got admitted but I found myself in a completely opposite situation.

I remember how a friend approached me and said he had paid for a bus to convey his proprties to school and that he wants us to travel same day with the bus but I should just give him a little token, few seconds I couldn't say anything because I had nothing to take to school except my clothes and few yams and spaghetti.i simply told him I wasn't ready to leave yet but actually left before him..

the day he saw me with a bag strapped to my bag,he never knew I was going to school that moment and it was after one week I started getting calls from friends and I told them I was already in school,it was a horrible 100 and 200l thank God things are quite ok now.
