John D Rockefeller was once the richest man in the world.

John D. Rockefeller established his Foundation. This new direction eventually led to the discovery of Penicillin, cures for Malaria, Tuberculosis and Diphtheria.

John D Rockefeller was once the richest man in the world.
The first billionaire in the world.
By the age of 25 years,he controlled one of the largest oil refineries in the US.
By age 31, he had become the world’s largest oil refiner.
By the age of 38 years,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.

🌹But at the age of 53, he became ill.
His entire body became racked with pain and he lost all of his hair.
In complete agony, the world’s only billionaire could buy anything he wanted,but not his health because he could only digest soup and crackers. 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.

🌹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.

🌹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.

But perhaps the most amazing part of, Rockefeller’s story is that the moment he began to give back a portion of all that he had earned, his body’s chemistry was altered so significantly that he got better
It looked as if he would die at that age of 53 but he lived to the age of 98 years old. Rockefeller learned gratitude and gave back to the society vast majority of his wealth.
Doing so made him whole again.
It is one thing to be healed and it is another thing to be made whole again.

🌹Before his death,he wrote this in his dairy, “The Supreme Energy taught me,that everything belongs to HIM and I am only a channel to comply HIS wishes.
My life has been one long and happy holiday; So Full of work and Full of play. I dropped the worry on the way and God was good to me every day”.

Let us all learn how to give back to the society to which we belong.
The little we give to an individual/a needy might definitely save his/her entire life/family.

Let us also appreciate God in our lives because the position we are occupying today,the knowledge we have acquired,the Phd that we had obtained,the election we won, the promotions/ appointments that we had secured are not without the knowledge of Almighty God.
Many of our mates,Colleagues/ Contemporaries have gone to the grave/great beyond.
Many of us are in critical conditions in hospitals while few of us if not many of us are in the streets naked and begging for money to buy food,to pay rent,to buy medicines,etc.

Despite all of our unacceptable behaviours and actions,God’s Mercies and Grace still abound in our lives and may He Continue to be Merciful to us,Aameen 🤲🏼🤲🏼🤲🏼🤲🏼🤲🏼.

This Is A VERY Nice message For All Of Us.

Do Have A Blessed Week Ahead.
