Wanted to wee
Went into an eatery
Eatery said their rest room was bad
The next best thing to do is look for a bush
I wanted to but a car sped by and somebody called my name
I realised I cannot do it
I am known by people I don't know
I saw a car dealership
I walked in
I saw a

caravan
I asked them if it has a toilet
They said yes and two rooms
I asked how much
They said it
I told them to send me their account number
They did
I paid and collected the keys
I went into the caravan and did my wee wee
I called my driver to drive it home
I drove myself home

As i drove home I asked myself why I bought the caravan
Was it just to wee?
Was that a wise way of spending money?
Was I becoming wasteful?
Where would I park it?
When I got home I found three missionaries waiting for me
The Holy Spirit told them I have a caravan for them
They

saw me driving a caravan and they started running helter-skelter and shouting like crazy people
I had no idea why they were doing all the drama
I alighted from the caravan and they told me they had come because they were told to come and see me because I have a caravan to give

them
They had assumed God was directing them to me to come and beg or solicit for some funds to buy a caravan for their missionary project
When they saw the caravan, they almost went mad
How come God was so precise?
I told them God didn't say a word to me
I needed to wee and I

bought a caravan because it has a toilet
It was probably the worst decision any individual ever made in the history of buying and selling
I couldn't believe the impulse and the outright waste of resources
They shook their head in awe
I handed them the key to the caravan
It's been

two years and eleven days since it happened
I get calls and reports from the missionaries about the progress of their work and the wonders God is doing in their lives and ministries
It is good to hear God's voice, it is also very good to be easily moved by the Holy Spirit to act

PS: One of my teachers, a man of God I respect so much told me this story in 2014
He came to minister at a church I was working with at the time and engaged me in a conversation
He was a Nigerian who had spent over 30 years in Florida
From the day I heard that story, I found

myself easily moved by the Holy Spirit
I am not only led by voice or sight
I am also moved by the Holy Spirit to establish his will and purpose upon the face of the earth
I am full of the Holy Spirit and fully yielded to him in words, in thought, and in all my actions
