*This is a true story*

I title it;
*No more crossing of boundaries*

A certain young man named Bayo (not real name) was in a competitive market here in Abeokuta, selling similar items with a few people. He was doing well, infact, he was the envy of everyone in the market.

He made more sales on a daily basis, and most times to his amazement.

Suddenly, sales began to go down "south". He began to lose customers, debtors refused to honour their obligations and consequently, sales were now nothing to write home about...

Meanwhile, he just came
unannounced to my home alone with his wife and I innocently asked him, *how's business?" He said fine, but, his countenance was saying otherwise. His wife was quick to chip in, "Pastor, there is wahala o. We don't even break even, let alone, make profit. Sales has been so bad
lately..."(Thank God for great wives who have your back)

I dug deeper until he opened up himself and narrated everything to me. We said a short prayer & d Lord led me to this scripture...

1 Samuel 7:13 MSG
The Philistines learned their lesson and stayed home - no more border
crossings. God was hard on the Philistines all through Samuel's lifetime.

To cut the long story short, he called me a few days after our meeting and said, he needed to see me and discuss an urgent but strange occurrence with me..

He came a few minutes after the call and gave a
vivid description of what God had done.

He said one of those selling the same items with him in the market had connived with a few others in the same market to "do him in" through some "diabolic means."

Suddenly, the perpetrators all fell ill with no traceable medical reason(s)
He said, the ring leader actually came to him, to confess, and that he was advised to give up his shop and relocate elsewhere if he wanted to survive.

Guess what,...two of d "perpetrators" offered to handover their shops and everything therein to Mr. Bayo.

I said, glory to God.
He said he was afraid to make that move of taking over their shops.

I asked why not, he said, he didn't want wahala.

I asked him, do you know the meaning of taking over?

He said yes, and I said, my friend, take over the shops, buy over every item in the shops, and if the
perpetrators are up for sale too, buy them over. It's God at work. 😂 (It is what it is)

He felt reassured, did as advised, and today, his business has gotten bigger and gets bigger by the day. (This was 2 months ago.)

You need to set boundaries wherever you are operating from.
Indeed, those wicked ones learned their lessons and stayed home - no more border crossings. God was hard on the Philistines, the scriptures above said...

Join us again live, this Sunday as we pray for Businesses, Business Owners and Entrepreneurs.

8pm sharp
1 Samuel 7:14 MSG
All the cities from Ekron to Gath that the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored. Israel also freed the surrounding countryside from Philistine control. And there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.

Everything you have lost.
Every opportunity
