No one is panicky in Heaven

As a final year student in the University I was entitled to school accommodation, but in my set, there were limited bed spaces available, so the school management decided that students would have to ballot for the available spaces. Before then I had always desired to stay in a Lecturer’s BQ (Boys Quarters’) in my final year, BQ which was like the GRA of school accommodation then 😊. I prayed about it and specifically asked God for 2 roommates He would use me to reach out to.


I didn’t want to sell my allotted bed space as the norm was, if I succeed in getting a bed space from the school. So, on the day of the balloting I picked a “No”. The next step was to get the accommodation I was believing God for. I didn’t know any lecturer to approach. I asked friends for help but it looked like it was not going to happen.

School had resumed and I was going to school from my cousin’s house which was far from school and stressful also. I was beginning to get worried about the situation. One morning before I left for school, I was getting ready to “PRAY THROUGH” but the Holy Spirit interrupted my thoughts and said to me “in heaven no one was worried or panicky about my accommodation because it had already been provided for.” It suddenly dawned on me that indeed there’s no place for worry in heaven. Through His abundant supply of grace I began to thank God and magnify Him, I was overwhelmed with joy. Then I began to ask God to lead me to where the provision was.


A few days later, I went to school for lectures and met a friend who told me she was looking for a room mate to share accommodation with in a Lecturer’s BQ. I couldn’t believe my ears. She told me there was a clause though – there was another lady she had told about the accommodation who was interested, but she was not moving in till second semester. Long story cut short, we agreed to share, but just before I moved in, the lady said she didn’t want a third person in the room for some personal reasons.


She was adamant about it, I felt like all I had hoped for was crashing before my eyes and I didn’t have another alternative. Lectures were already in full swing and I wouldn’t have the time to start scouting for another place to stay. I began to pray for favour, and trusted God to change the situation. Eventually she changed her mind and accepted. We even became very good friends before we graduated. The Lord indeed used me to minister to her when she was having some marital challenges. 


The Lord who did it for me is still in the business of helping His own. When all hope is lost, hang in there, NO ONE IS WORRIED OR PANICKY IN HEAVEN ABOUT YOUR SITUATION! 😊


The just shall live by faith!
