Topic : Till Life Teaches Us Lessons, We Don't Come Closer To Christ. We Must Show Gratitude Before It's Too Late.
1 Tim. 06:07.
For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing.
Let us hear the amazing Miracle Of the Wealthiest Billionaire In The World, John D. Rockefeller,.... when he was on his death bed struggling..
Destined to die at 53, But, God's grace was upon him...
馃尮John D Rockfeller, most of you might be knowing, was once the richest man in the world. The first billionaire in the world.
By age 25, he controlled one of the largest oil refineries in the US.
By age 31, he had become the world鈥檚 largest oil refiner.
By age 38, he commanded 90% of the oil refined in the U.S.
By 50, he was the richest man in the country. As a young man, every decision, attitude, and relationship was tailored to create his personal power and wealth. His Standard oil company purchased all its rival oil companies and thus became a Monopoly. His ambitious and hard working life made him a millionaire at young age of 33 years. By the age 43, he owned and ran the largest company in the world, the Standard Oil Company.
He became one of the world's richest billionaire at the age of 43..
馃尮But, at the age of 53, he became seriously ill. His entire body became racked with pain and he lost all of his hair. In complete agony, the world鈥檚 only billionaire could buy anything he wanted, but he could only digest liquid soup. An associate wrote, He could not sleep, would not smile and nothing in life meant anything to him. His personal, highly skilled physicians predicted he would die within a year. That year passed agonizingly slowly. *When we are in the thick of storm, time passes agonisingly slow.*
馃尮As he approached death, he awoke one morning with the vague realisation of not being able to take any of his wealth with him into the next world. The man who could control the business world, suddenly realized he was not in control of his own life. He was left with a choice.
馃尮 Therefore, he called his attorneys, accountants, and managers and announced that he wanted to channel his Assets to Hospitals, Research, and Charity work. John D. Rockefeller
established his Foundation. This new direction eventually led to the *discovery of penicillin,* *cures for malaria, tuberculosis and diphtheria, an acute highly contagious bacterial disease.* He also helped several churches and needy people.
Praise God. He took a right choice.
馃尮But perhaps the most amazing part of Rockefeller鈥檚 story is, that the moment he began to give back a portion of all that he had earned, his
body鈥檚 chemistry was altered so significantly that he got better day by day. He came much closer to the lord. The most fascinating part of his life has been, he not only attended church every Sunday, he was teaching Sunday school Inspiring many untill he died....
Rockefeller learned gratitude and gave back the vast majority of his wealth. Doing so made him whole. It is one thing to be healed. It is another to be made whole.
馃尮Before his death, he wrote this in his dairy, *鈥淭he Supreme Lord Almighty taught me, that everything belongs to Him, and I am only a channel to comply his wishes.*
We must have ambitious goals and ensure it is achieved by sincere hard work to be a blessing to the society and bring glory to the Lord.
