ARE YOU AN ANGEL?




He looked frail and walked with a limp.
Old man, perhaps in his 60’s, and not decently dressed.
 Couldn’t understand why my gaze was fixed on him as he walked down the street.
I noticed he had stopped three persons but I didn’t hear what he asked them until I saw one of the persons throw his hands into the air as a sign of “I have no money to give you”.
At this point, I felt an urge in my spirit to give him N350.00 in my car.
I ran towards him as he walked on and someone helped stop him.
As I gave him the money, I realized he was half blind and suddenly, he held my hands and I almost pulled my hands as we often do when beggars try to hold us or get close to us. He asked; who are you? Are you an Angel? How did you see me? I explained briefly.
You don’t know what you have done for me he said still holding my hand tightly and he began to pray, and pray and pray.
His name is Adebayo, homeless, without a job and source of income.
His question still burns in my heart: ARE YOU AN ANGEL?
Can I ask you, are you an Angel? Will you be one to someone today?
May the Lord make you an answer to someone’s prayers.
Jas 2:15-16  If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily
food, And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye
warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those
things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
