I JUST SAW THIS NICE STORY WITH A WONDERFUL LESSON
AND THOUGHT TO SHARE IT WITH YOU ALL, PLEASE ENJOY:*
An old King realized that if he died he had no one to take over his
throne. He decided to adopt a son.
He launched a competition and 10 boys made it to the top. The
King said to them, “I have one last test and whoever comes top
will become my adopted son and heir to my throne”.
He gave each boy a seed of corn and told them to take the seed
home, plant and nurture it for 3 weeks. The 10 boys took their
seeds and ran home to plant their seeds.
In one home, the boy and his parents were sad when the seed
failed to sprout. The boy had diligently done everything required
but he failed.
His friends advised him to buy a seed and plant it, but his God
fearing parents who had always taught him honesty refused.
The day to give account to the King came and the 10 boys went to
the palace. All the other 9 boys were successful with their seeds.
The King went to each boy asking – “Is that what came out of the
seed I gave you?” And each boy said “Yes, your majesty”. The King
would nod and move down the line until he came to the last boy
in the line who was shaking with fear.
The King asked him – “What did you do with the seed I gave you?”
The boy said “I planted it and cared for it your majesty but it failed
to sprout.” The King went to the throne with the boy and said, “I
gave these boys boiled seeds and a boiled seed cannot sprout.
If a King must have one quality, it must be honesty and only this
boy passed the test.” We live in a society where people will do
anything for success.
God sometimes does not give us things because He wants to teach
us a lesson.
How many people out there have achieved success the wrong way?
How many people send their children to expensive schools, build
houses, buy expensive cars, etc, with stolen money?
How many people are occupying top positions yet they stole the
certificates? How many people are successful out there at all
costs?
HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL BE CROWNED AS KINGS IN HEAVEN FOR
BEING FAITHFUL UNTIL THE END? I PRAY THAT YOU AND I BE
FAITHFUL TO THE END..!!!
Please be faithful to God no matter what life throws at you, even if
life gives you boiled seed.
If you can spare some of your precious time to send this allegory
to other people to encourage them to be faithful in their life,
please do. And if you don’t have the time now, no problem; just
let the message be preached.
