A true story from a student at a seminary in Jordan

There was a Christian, Filipino, domestic servant who worked in the mansion of a very powerful prince in a Muslim country. While prince’s child was on his death bed, despite the danger of being killed, the servant asked if he could pray for this child. He said that he would pray to Jesus Christ. The prince reluctantly gave permission for him to do so. God graciously answered the servant’s prayer and had mercy on the child, healing him.
In response to this answered prayer, the prince told the servant that what ever he wanted in (name of the country), he would give him. The servant said that he wanted nothing other than to be able to fly in a helicopter over the capitol…so that he could pray for the city from above.
This servant showed that not only was he a servant of the prince but more so a servant of God. He could have become wealthier than he could have ever imagined; driving a $100000 car, living in a mansion, having his own servants. But because this servant knew what his true Treasure was, instead of becoming greedy and hording earthly wealth, he desired to spread the Treasure that he possessed onto the city of his raising, desiring that God’s grace be poured out onto his people.
