  1. An old King realized that if he died he had no
  2. one to take over his throne. He decided to
  3. adopt a son.
  4. He launched a competition and 10 boys made it
  5. to the top. The King said to them, "I have
  6. one last test and whoever comes top will
  7. become my adopted son and heir to my throne.
  8. He gave each boy a seed of corn and told them
  9. to take the seed home, plant and nurture it for 3
  10. weeks. The 10 boys took their seeds and ran
  11. home to plant their seeds.
  12. In one home, the boy and his parents were sad
  13. when the seed failed to sprout. The boy had
  14. diligently done everything required but he
  15. failed.
  16. His friends advised him to buy a seed and plant
  17. it, but his God fearing parents who had always
  18. taught him honesty refused.
  19. The day to give account to the King came and
  20. the 10 boys went to the palace. All the other 9
  21. boys were successful with their seeds.
  22. The King went to each boy asking – β€œIs that
  23. what came out of the seed I gave you?"
  24. And each boy said "Yes, your majesty.
  25. The King would nod and move down the line
  26. until he came to the last boy in the line who
  27. was shaking with fear.
  28. The King asked him - "What did you do
  29. with the seed I gave you?
  30. The boy said & I planted it and cared for it your
  31. majesty but it failed to sprout." The King
  32. went to the throne with the boy and said, & I
  33. gave these boys boiled seeds and a boiled seed
  34. cannot sprout.
  35. If a King must have one quality, it must be
  36. honesty and only this boy passed the test.” We
  37. live in a society where people will do anything
  38. for success.
  39. God sometimes does not give us things
  40. because He wants to teach us a lesson.
  41. How many people out there have achieved
  42. success the wrong way? How many people
  43. send their children to expensive schools, build
  44. houses, buy expensive cars, etc, with stolen
  45. money?
  46. How many people are occupying top positions
  47. yet they stole the certificates? How many
  48. people are successful out there at all costs?
  49. HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL BE CROWNED AS
  50. KINGS IN HEAVEN FOR BEING FAITHFUL UNTIL
  51. THE END? I PRAY THAT YOU AND I BE
  52. FAITHFUL TO THE END..!!!
  53. Please be faithful to God no matter what life
  54. throws at you, even if life gives you boiled seed.
  55. If you can spare some of your precious time TO
  56. CLICK SHARE BELOW OR SEND this allegory to
  57. other people to encourage them to be faithful in
  58. their life, please do. And if you don't have the
  59. time now, no problem; just let the message be
  60. preached.
  61. GOD BLESS YALL
