I shared my story with you\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">yesterday about my service year in Northern Nigeria. Today, I will share a follow-up to that story. My service year was between 1996 &#8211; 1998, right? Fast forward to 2022, I got a call from the Guardian Newspaper in Nigeria. University of Lagos (UNILAG), my alma mater, was turning sixty and they were running a feature titled, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Special Focus On The Most Distinguished Alumni\/Alumnae of UNILAG<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. They were writing about sixty exceptional graduates from the University of Lagos in sixty years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is important to mention that there are between five\u00a0 and six hundred thousand graduates that have passed through UNILAG. However, they chose sixty and my name was on it. Glory be to God! How is that even possible? Then, I remembered God saying to me, \u201cIf you become a byword, let the byword be on Me.\u201d When I got the call that they wanted an interview, I said, \u201cI am sorry, but I am not in Lagos.\u201d They said they would do a Zoom interview. So, we did a Zoom interview, and the article was published in April 2022. Sixty outstanding UNILAG graduates in sixty years out of about six hundred thousand, which is equivalent to 0.01%. What is God calling you to do? When you do it, you will see miracles that you never knew existed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fourth thing that happens when you say to God, \u201cHere I am. I am available\u201d is that <\/span><b>You Hear the <\/b><b>Message<\/b><b> You Never Thought You Would Hear<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. And this is really huge. Samuel was a little boy serving under Eli and the Word of God says in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bible.com\/bible\/111\/1SA.3.4\">1 Samuel 3:<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then the Lord called Samuel. Samuel answered, \u201c<\/span><\/i><b><i>Here I am<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u201d (NIV, emphasis added). So, Samuel ran to Eli and Eli said, \u201cI didn&#8217;t call you, go back to bed.\u201d Samuel went back to sleep, but he heard the voice again. He got up and ran to Eli. \u201cHere I am. I am willing. I am available. I am confused though.\u201d And Eli said, \u201cI didn&#8217;t call you.\u201d Samuel heard the voice a third time calling, \u201cSamuel!\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By the third time, some of us will not even say \u201cHere I am\u201d again. We will say, \u201cThis old man! If he is playing tricks, that is his business.\u201d And we will ignore the call, but not Samuel. The heart is very important! The third time, Samuel still came and said, \u201cHere I am. I am available, Sir.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bible.com\/bible\/116\/1sa.16.7\">1 Samuel 16:<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7<\/span> <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c\u2026People judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Prayer<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Father, keep creating in me a clean heart.
