It was an opportunity for me to be N50,000 richer. That fateful evening, after winning some cheap games, I saw this 'aboki' gambler, who have never won as a table tennis gambler and then he just wanted to play with me as he was always losing to other guys present but it was my first time with him. Since I had known him to be a loser, I agreed to give him 5 points ahead, yet the game was 99% sure for me. I prayed to God before starting though I knew gambling wasn't so right then but I couldn't help my addiction. Hence, to back up my prayers, I told God in prayers my intention to not keep any of the money to myself than to pay a token debt of N5000 while I pay the rest to the church and helping some less privileged who were in need at the time.
However, in just about five minutes, I couldn't believe I had lost N50,000 after being defeated by this amateur. I couldn't just understand what happened - my good game, my prayers, my good intentions, everything just seemed to me like a dream as I walked home soberly with the thought of my N50,000 which was quite a huge sum of money back then. Just recently, I found out why it happened that way though I seem to have involved God in the game even from the start. Just two things....
1. GOD IS NEVER PLEASED WITH GOOD INTENTIONS IF IN NEGATION TO HIS COMMANDMENTS.2. GOD DOES NOT GRANT YOUR PRAYERS ACCORDING TO YOUR WANTS BUT ACCORDING TO HIS WILL.
Likewise today, there are many young so called christians who are addicted to gamble, lotto, Nairabet and other related betting platforms, and just like my old self, have some good intentions about their earnings and as well go to the extent of praying to God to help them win (though not all) - what an hellish display of ignorance. It is more a saddened story that barely would a religious gathering teach about this unpleasant situation which seem an imminent danger to the youths of today. God is never a supporter of betting/gamble/lotto. Hence, it doesn't matter how much you have won or may be winning, like the 'Baba Ijebu' saying goes in Yoruba, you'll surely going to DAPADA [RETURN IT] - TAKE IT NOW OR LEAVE IT.
If God helped me from my addiction to all sort of gambling, I strongly believe He can help anyone who is willing to be helped. For help tips, you can read my blog post titled "YOU COULD BE THE NEXT MILLIONAIRE!" and can also contact me directly on any of the platform below:
