*Today, we shall conclude with the story we started yesterday about the upright police officer who persevered in righteousness, and God moved to compensate him.*
*The DSP returned to the office, and the DCP posted his own brother to go and take over the special duty.*
*When the DSP got to the office, the DCP told him that whatever he was given was the outcome of the special duty and he needs to sell those things so that they can share the money for everyone who took part in the special duty.*
*The DSP told the DCP that he was given those things and they were for him because they were given to him personally and not the team.*
*But the DCP threatened him and insisted that the last orders should be obeyed!*
*So the DSP replied, “no wahala sir, if you want to take everything, take it sir”.*
*While they were still on the matter, the Minister returned from his trip abroad and asked, “where is my friend, the DSP”?*
*They told him he has been replaced, and the ASP here is the new officer in charge.*
*Furious, the minister called the IGP and asked him to return his friend to him.*
*The IGP called the DIG Operations and ordered him to post the man back, that he was not aware of any change!*
*The DIG asked the DCP who removed the man out of envy to use his own official hilux to return the man to the Honorable Minister and he should personally hand him over to the Minister and give report back to him with immediate effect!*
*Just like that – a case of Haman and Mordecai…*
*The DCP out of shame but knowing that he must obey the last order, took the DSP in his hilux, with escorts and drove straight to the Secretariat, handed over the DSP to the Hon. Minister.*
*The DSP while narrating the story later said the Minister gave the DCP 100 dollars and asked him never to remove his friend until the special duty was over!*
*The Minister, a Muslim, while the DSP, a Christian, but God can use anyone to become a source of blessing to you.*
*This was how the DCP left in shame.*
*The DSP remained there till he retired some months later.*
*The Minister personally called his friends and hosted a banquet to celebrate the DSP on his retirement.*
*On that day of his retirement, the Minister gave him a cheque of 10 million Naira to support him.*
*The friends of the Minister donated several millions and handed it over to the retired DSP.*
*One of the friends of the Minister at the event gave him a plot of land inside Abuja Central Business District that was then worth 200 million naira if sold!*
*This was how God blessed this man and turned things around for him in less than 7 months to his retirement.*
*Everything he seemed to have lost over the years, he gained in many folds and he was blessed with well brought up children who continued where he stopped his service of uprightness without any blemish.*
*He retired, mightily helped by God with good money in his account, two plots of land valued at about N400m,a duplex well furnished and one other car beside the prado jeep.*
*Indeed righteousness exalts a people, but sin is a reproach.*
*In all you are doing, remember that heaven is taking records, and he knows how to reward his faithful children..*
*His seeming retirement into poverty was cancelled by God just like that!*
*Learn that this man did not compromise his stand for truth and righteousness for those 35 years in the police force,a job that was labelled as the most corrupt profession in the country.*
*This is no doubt a good story to tell to encourage anyone who might want to give up his commitment to duty because of the frustrations he is facing on the job.*
*I encourage you my reader : please look into the future with bright hope, and trust in the Lord.*
Top of the day to you 👍
