THE SUICIDE THAT WAS STOPPED! BE A SOLUTION!
BASIC SCRIPTURE: 1 CORINTHIANS 3: 1 – 8
The following story was told by Ilene Wright: Years ago, a preacher noticed that the family standing in front of him at a New Orleans store did not have enough money to pay for their few items. He tapped the man on the shoulder and said, “You don’t need to turn around, but please accept this money.” The man took the money without ever seeing the preacher.

Nine years later, the pastor was invited to speak at a church in New Orleans. A man walked up to the preacher and shared this story about how he had come to faith in Christ: “Several years ago, my wife and our child were destitute. We also lost all hope, and agreed to a suicide pact, including our child. However, we decided to first give our son some food, so we drove to a convenience store to buy him some food and milk.
While we were standing in line at the store, we realized that we did not have enough money to pay for those items, but a man behind us asked us to please take the money from his hand and not look at him. This man told us that ‘Jesus loves you.’ We left the store, drove to our designated suicide site, and wept for hours. We couldn’t go through with it, so we drove away. As we drove, we noticed a church with a sign out front which said, ‘Jesus loves you.’ We went to that church the very next Sunday, and both my wife and I were saved that day.”

He then told the pastor, “When you began speaking this morning, I knew immediately that you were the man who gave us that money.” How did he know? The pastor was from South Africa and had a very distinct accent. He continued, “Your act of kindness was much more than a simple good deed. Three people are alive today because of it/ Wow! God wants you to be an answer to someone’s prayers! I remember Joel Osteen: “Sometimes your plans may be interrupted because God has somebody He wants you to touch or something special He wants you to do.”
Before I discovered this ODM vision, I nearly committed suicide due to a mid-life battle I was facing! But He was preparing me to be a solution to millions worldwide! Most of the time, God uses people and circumstances to answer our prayers. Paul wrote to the Corinthian church that some planted, others watered, but it was God who brought the increase (1 Cor. 3:6). Do you know that you can be a PLANTER or a WATERER in someone’s life, family or ministry? Each day, pray that God will use you in someone’s life! May you be the answer to someone’s prayer this year!
