Article: Miracle on Richmond Street
Written by Sunny Unachi on 13th November 2023
As 2023 steadily draws to its close, many of us find ourselves reflecting on the year’s journey—its triumphs, its trials, and the moments we stood at crossroads, hoping for a miracle. In these final moments of the year, I’m reminded of a powerful story, a narrative of hope and last-minute divine intervention, that beautifully encapsulates the essence of an ’11th Hour Miracle.’
Focal Scripture: Jeremiah 29:11, For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
Mark’s Encounter
In the bustling town of Richmond, Mark, a dedicated professional with dreams larger than life, found himself at a career crossroads. Throughout 2019, he faced a series of career setbacks. Despite his qualifications and passion, his aspirations seemed increasingly out of reach, buried under a pile of rejections and missed opportunities. As the year waned, so did his hope, leaving him at the brink of giving up his dreams.
But as December’s chill set in, something unexpected happened. During a networking event, Mark casually shared his vision with a colleague. Unbeknownst to him, this colleague was in a position to help. Moved by his dedication and innovative ideas, she presented Mark with an opportunity that perfectly aligned with his dreams—an opportunity that seemed lost but was merely waiting for the right moment to surface.
This was Mark’s 11th Hour Miracle, a divine intervention that came just when all seemed lost. It was a reminder that even in the depths of despair, there’s a glimmer of hope waiting to be ignited.
