The Man Who Stopped Chasing
Based on Matthew 6:33

Tunde had always been in a hurry. Every morning, before the sun climbed over the Lagos skyline, he was already on his motorbike — darting through traffic, chasing customers, chasing money, chasing life.
He often told himself, “When I finally make enough, then I’ll rest. Then I’ll have time for God.”

But “enough” never came. One evening, after a long day of deliveries and disappointments, Tunde stopped by a small church by the roadside. He only meant to rest a bit before heading home, but the quietness held him still. The choir was singing softly:
“Seek ye first the Kingdom of God…”

The words pricked his heart. He thought about how hard he’d worked, yet how empty he felt. How he’d prayed only when business was bad, and forgotten God when things were good. Sitting there, helmet in hand, he whispered, “Lord, I’ve been chasing the wrong things. Teach me to chase You first.”

From that day, Tunde changed little by little. He still worked hard — but he began each morning with prayer. He stopped cheating time from his family. He gave more, worried less.

Months later, without forcing it, doors began to open. A client introduced him to a steady contract, his business grew, and peace replaced panic.

Tunde finally realized what the verse meant — that when you make God your first pursuit, everything else finds its place.
