LITTLE FAITH AND ACT OF MERCY
A boy in Kenya whose father was serving a life sentence had to report for Grade Ten at Agoro Sare National School against all odds. After the father was jailed, the mother, being human with obvious needs—got involved with another man, and they conceived a child.
Unfortunately, the pregnancy ended in a stillbirth, and the mother developed complications and was hospitalized at the very time the boy was supposed to report to school.
Despite all this, he performed exceptionally well and was invited to join Agoro Sare National School, one of the best secondary schools in Nyanza Province. In fact, out of the last year’s 604 candidates, 597 attained university entry grades. In other words, Agoro Sare is a dual carriageway to the university.
Amid this cloud of confusion, the boy burned charcoal and raised some money, which he estimated would be enough for fare. He did not know where the school was, so he went to the bus stop to inquire. Fortunately, he met a boy wearing a school uniform with a badge that read "Agoro Sare Secondary School".
When he arrived at the school, the security guards stopped him at the gate because he was not in school uniform. Anyone would have questioned him, as he looked like a street urchin, dressed in rags. He narrated his story to the security guards, who then called the principal. The principal agreed to listen to the boy.
When Dr. Isaac Okeyo, the principal of Agoro Sare, heard the boy’s painful story, he called the area chief to verify it. After confirming that the story was true, he decided to buy literally everything the boy needed, including boxers. Remember, the boy had arrived with only his calling letter and certificate from Atilili Primary School in Siaya County.
The boy is currently constructing his vision at Agoro Sare. Ladies and gentlemen, there are people who have succeeded in life simply because they showed up. They had no connections, no finances, and no obvious advantages, but they played their part by showing up.
There are people whose businesses were failing, with no hope of a better future, yet they kept showing up until favor located them. Even when God has decided to lift you, you still have a role to play—show up.
The principal of Agoro Sare is a unique man. He has shown compassion in very sensitive cases. I have come to realize that there are many of God’s servants who do not carry the title of pastor and have never stood on a pulpit. Many teachers have been instrumental in building destinies; no wonder most of them live peaceful lives.
When you carry a seed of greatness, most times you face unique attacks at a tender age, but somehow you receive the resilience to pull through. Great people do not become great because they enjoy smooth sailing; they become great because they show up despite the storms of life.
Anytime you wonder in the desert, know that you are approaching Canaan.
There are still men in high office today with the heart of David.
LESSON
Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me" (Matthew 25:40).
"Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me" (Matthew 25:45).
Meaning & Interpretation
"The Least of These": Refers to those society marginalizes, the poor, hungry, thirsty, strangers, naked, sick, and imprisoned.
Serving Others: It's a powerful call to show compassion and practical help to the needy, as these actions are a measure of one's faith and love for God.
Identity with the Vulnerable: Jesus identifies Himself with the most vulnerable in society, making helping them an act of devotion to Him.
In Essence
This phrase highlights that true faith isn't just about beliefs, but about tangible acts of love and mercy towards others, especially those who can offer nothing in return, revealing the state of one's heart
