His younger brother sneaked into his room at 9am in the morning, "Bro, he said, I was chased out of the examination hall. I had barely written a line when the school fees enforcement team arrived, the first problem was my inability to present an examination card! I cried & begged

Told them I had lost it. Then they checked the list of defaulters! And there it was, my name, written in capital letters! I was chased out! After all the weeks of praying and fasting, God didn't come through as promised!"
It was bad
They were both experiencing a very tough year!

They were students of a private university! His younger brother was a year ahead of him! They both knew meeting up with the school fees would be tough for their parents but they were tired of seating at home! His younger brother took the bold step a year ahead of him

It is better to try and fail than not to try at all!
The first year was tough but somehow, help came! They were neck deep in debt as friends and colleagues had to help them out! For weeks sometimes all they had to eat were mangoes plucked on trees within the school compound

There was no opportunity to work and study! They were both believers, campus fellowship leaders! They know the Lord, they know the Holy Spirit and yet...
They fasted, prayed and cried until they had blisters all over their mouths!
Poverty made an open show of them, a parade...

His younger brother had preached about faith and declared that the God of the eleventh hour would come through as usual!
This was why his younger brother sneaked into his room!
How do you face your fellowship members and explain that Elijah got God to show up but you couldn't?

He was staring down the barrel himself! He had a paper the next morning! He decided that there was no point getting disgraced out of the examination hall!
If God didn't show up, he would just sleep in his room!
He would rather pretend that he was ill than be publicly disgraced

The next morning, he didn't leave his room! His classmates started writing the first paper by 9am! Another fellowship leader came to his room, "Bro, we want to travel to Lagos and pick up the daily devotional we share to the students! Since you're not busy today, can you join us?

He dressed up hurriedly and jumped into the bus! It was better than mopping all day like Jeremiah! When they got to their destination, the publishers of the devotional were shocked by the number of copies they requested for! They were referred to the CEO of the organization

The CEO welcomed them and asked them questions about their school and how effective the devotionals were on campus!As they took their leave, the CEO turned to him and said "Wait, The Holy Spirit just asked me to pay your school fees"
How much is it?
He told her
She transferred it

He was shocked to the marrow!
God came through but he had missed a paper and would have to resit for the paper the following year! His CGPA would take a hit.
But half bread...
As soon as they got to campus, the news came!
The HOD had cancelled the paper written that morning!

Wawu!!! There were some errors in the question which could mislead the students and affect their answers!
The HOD was caught in a hold up and couldn't get to campus on time to supervise the process
He trashed the examination and rescheduled it to be written weeks later

He was too shocked to speak! He could only cry!
That same day, his younger brother got his school fees cleared by an anonymous helper! He was sent the receipt the next morning! (Had to resit two papers) These events happened in Bowen University, Iwo, 2006!

Help is on the way!
