God Paid My Fees
I had the desire to study MBA. I was working too at that time. So, I was saving money to pay my MBA fees the following year.
I had one year left to prepare for the entrance and join the college because of which I left my employment too. As days went by and as I was saving money, there was a thought which came to me. The thought wondered whether I could give away all the money to God and would believe in his providence and faithfulness. Immediately, my flesh spoke and said that it was next to impossible, and I couldn’t even imagine giving away everything I saved.
Then as days went by (at this time, I had 3 months left), I had a friend of mine who was just converted from a Hindu family and had been saved by the grace of God and his name is Mahesh. He told me that there was a pastor called Pastor Keith who uploaded all his messages for free on his website so that the gospel could reach the ends of the world.
Hence, I started watching his messages online and God showed me some great things which I had not seen for the past 25 years. In one of his messages, he said that God is a respecter of faith and not a respecter of persons. This truth of God touched me and was ringing in me all the time.
However, as Jesus wanted me to see the grace and faithfulness of God, He led me to obey the voice of God and I gave all my savings to the church.
Later, after a few weeks passed, a friend of mine (Rakesh) introduced me to his friend who was also aspiring to join MBA the same year. His name is Ganesh. Jesus touched him and saved him. When we spoke the first time, Ganesh said he had difficulties understanding the procedures of securing admission and asked me for advice on choosing a suitable college.
After that, we interacted only a handful of times and only for a few minutes to discuss his queries. Finally, the day arrived when I had to pay my fees of rupees27,500 to join the college and it was the last day to pay the fees. Then unexpectedly, Ganesh called me and said that it was the last day to pay fees and he asked me if I was going to pay the fees. I told him that I did not have money to pay and instantly he said that he could lend me rupees 5000. But I said 5000 was too little for the college to accept and it was the govt mandatory rule to pay 27500 all at once.
However, I took all my certificates and was on the bike on our way to college not sure what would happen. However, Before this time, I would like to say that somewhere deep down inside me, I had a strong gut feeling that God would come to my rescue. As soon as I reached the college and inquired about the college admission, the person at the college said that it would be all right if I could pay 5000 initially to secure admission and pay the remaining fees at a later time. At that time, my joy was full to experience God’s faithfulness and Ganesh in all his love, paid my fees.
However, Prior to this day, I was checking with all whom I had known for years for help and if anybody could lend me money. None of them were willing to help as God had already prepared Ganesh to come to my rescue.
Later after I joined the college, God blessed me with a wonderful job. I manage both my job and studies too. Having a job now enables me to pay my remaining fee and I returned the borrowed money to Ganesh with 10 per cent interest as a blessing and thanksgiving even though Ganesh refused to take it.
