Channel of blessing

Written by Alfred Ofori Agyemang.

When David finished saying this, Saul asked, “Is that your voice, David my son?” And he wept aloud. “You are more righteous than I,” he said. “You have treated me well, but I have treated you badly. (NIV) 1 Samuel 24:16-17

Every human being wants to be the best in everything they do. Some are so desperate to achieve success in life that they end up breaking many relationships they have taken years to build and create enemies in the process. Everybody you meet in life is very important because they will either be part of your success or failure. Occasionally in life, we meet people who are so exceptional in their fields of endeavor.

Permit me to share a true story of Cristiano Ronaldo and the minute opportunity through which he advanced his football career.

Cristiano Ronaldo - "I have to thank my friend Albert Fantrau for my success. We played together for a youth club. When people from Sporting Lisbon arrived, they told us that whoever scored more goals would be accepted to their Academy".

"We won that game 3-0, I scored the first goal, then Albert scored a header, and the third was a goal that impressed everyone. Albert went on one on one with the goalkeeper. I was running next to him, he went round the keeper; all he needed to do was just to get the ball into the empty net. But, he passed it to me and I scored. I was accepted to the Academy. After the match, I approached him and asked him “why” and he answered; “You’re better than me”.

Several years after, a journalist went to Albert’s house and asked whether the story was true. He said yes. He also said that his career as a football player ended after that match and he is now unemployed. “But where did you get such a gorgeous house, a car? You seemed to be a rich person. You also maintain your family... where are all from? Albert proudly replied; "it’s from Cristiano."

What an incredible story! Allow God to use you to bless someone today. Be a channel of blessing for others and you will never lack overflow of blessings. Never say either it’s me or nobody. God bless You.
