Today I just want to share with you a true personal story that I know is going to bless you greatly… I hope you enjoy it and feel free to share this post with your friends and loved ones =)
So I was in Vegas 2.5 years ago for an author's conference and because it was my first trip there, I was really excited to check every out the sights and sounds.
My friend, Adam, who was hosting me was too busy to show me around (because of his work commitments) so he dropped me off at Planet Hollywood and bid me a good evening.
Almost immediately after I got out of the car, an African-American man approached me to ask for directions. I told him I was flattered that he thought I was a local and that we could hang out together if he wanted since we were both new to the city. He agreed.
We exchanged names and when I heard him introduce himself as Christopher… I said “Hey you know what? It's Halloween and everyone else is in costume… So why don't we just do this? If anyone asks, I will be Jackie Chan and you will be Chris Tucker… and we are shooting Rush Hour 4: Lost in Vegas!”
He cracked up and told me it was a brilliant idea and so we ran with it.
We started walking along the strip and someone just handed us a pair of free VIP tickets to Marquee and told us that LMFAO was performing there that night. Now, LMFAO was one of my favorite electronic dance music groups back then and so you can imagine how happy and excited I was!
We got to Marquee but were turned away because Chris wasn't wearing proper dress shoes. As a result of this, we ended up going to the Bellagio where Chris was staying at so he could change his shoes.
Since he had left his luggage in the storage room, we were led there and we met this bellboy named Kenneth.
While Chris was rampaging through his luggage, I decided to make small talk with Kenneth.
As we were chatting halfway, Kenneth suddenly blurted out something inadvertently…
“… but I'm just a bellboy…”
This stirred up the Holy Spirit in me to respond, and under its annointing, I started to preach to Kenneth powerfully:
“You're NOT just a bellboy! You're a child of the Lord Most High… You were born for greatness… It's just that you weren't aware of it before this. God has an amazing plan for you (Jeremiah 29:11)… You were meant for BIGGER things… You're here for an important purpose…”
As I was speaking, I noticed Kenneth started crying and so I stopped and asked him if he was alright.
In between his sobs, he told me, “Thank you so much… I always felt that I was never good enough. Nobody ever told me what you just told me before… I'm a Christian but for many years, I've been backsliding. I believe that God brought you to me to restore my faith…”
“Yes,” I replied… “I believe that too… I mean I live in Singapore… and if not for the authors' conference I'm attending, I won't even have flown all the way here to Sin City (as Las Vegas is also affectionately known as).
And if not for the whole perfectly God-planned sequence of events where I met my new friend Christopher and we ended up in Marquee and was rejected because he didn't have the right shoes, we won't end up here in this luggage storage room and our paths wouldn't have even crossed, Kenneth…
I believe that God brought me here to tell you something you need to hear… And you know what… I'm even going to prophesize to you… because this is what I believe… I believe that the next time I'm back at the Bellagio in Vegas, I won't see you here again… because you would have moved on to the bigger things that God has in store for you…
And all you have to do is to believe…”
Kenneth continued to cry but I could tell from his eyes that it was tears of joy… It was as if he was finally set free from all the limiting thoughts and beliefs he had been holding on to for God knows how many years. I gave him a big hug and then Chris and I left to enjoy our night.
I've been back in Vegas at least 3 more times since that night and every time I went back to the Bellagio and asked if I could speak to Kenneth, I was told that they didn't have a bellboy named Kenneth (anymore). Hallelujah!
I believe Kenneth has moved on to step into his greatness…
Beloved, if you're reading this now, I believe that God wants me to pass the same life-changing message He spoke to Kenneth, through me, to you…
“You're NOT just a __________ (whatever you currently identify yourself with)
You're a Child of the Lord Most High… You were Born for Greatness…
God has an amazing plan for you!
You were meant for BIGGER things… And You're here for an important purpose…”
