God, When？ ｜ A Christian Short Film About Faith and Waiting

Shall we share the grace? The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. The love of God. The peaceful love of the Spirit. I already prayed for the first time. You feel me? Maybe he wants to come now. I think so. I will now tell him the other things I wanted to tell him. Okay. So do you think we should go and see him? Ah. Why are you jumping everywhere? Eh? Come, come, come. Carry your daughter please. Yes, she has my blood but she took your beauty. Please. Thank you. Okay. That works, that works. Good day everyone. Good day. Thank you HR for allowing me to speak with your team. My name is Festus. Because I want to make you the first and not the last, the head and not the tail. I'm representing Millennial Builders Mandate, MBM for short. We are on a mission to bring financial liberation to many in this nation. Most of our operations have been on the island but we decided to, you know, I mean this is the first meeting with any company on the mainland. You should count yourselves lucky. Can I get a round of applause? What is testimony without money? If you check our website www.mbminvest.com you will see many testimonies. I mean, people that have tasted money. On our site, we invest your money in diversified portfolio ranging from crypto to FX. And in three months you get 100% to 150% interest I mean, depending on your investment principle. You can ask around from those whose lives we have turned around. This is no policy scheme. We are legit. We are a legal finance asset management company. We are registered with the SEC, CAC, CBN, PENCOM, NICOM, NDIC. At MBM, we don't just invest the millions, we invest in the millionaires. This is what I'm saying. We don't just invest your money, but we invest in you. Because with great power, comes great responsibility. That is why I have with me two books written by yours truly. I mean, we've printed over a thousand copies but we have just six left for those that are ready to seize the opportunity. The first is The Time Money Machine. Repeat after me. The Time Money Machine. Now, you see the time we used to mention that? This few seconds, the richest man in this country has made more millions. Now that is why this book will uncover secrets that will make your time count up rather than count down. Some other people are working for their salary, but your salary will work for you. Which leads me to my second book and my favorite. Fire your boss now. Sir. Thank you. It's fine. Thank you. I believe those that have questions and further inquiry wouldn't mind getting your number. We can discuss outside. Sir. Hello, sir. Hello. What shall we say to the Lord? All we have to say is thank you. All we have to say is thank you. All we have to say is thank you. All we have to say is thank you. All we have to say is thank you. All we have to say is thank you. What is happening? I don't know. They gave us the money in an official car. At this place of work. Wow. I'm happy for you. What shall we say? All to the Lord. All we have to say is thank you. Ah, I just took a video to upload. That thing was really hard to film. Ah, I just hope this one is not like that too. In fact, it's not even like that. Because he's gentle in my womb. Just like me. Not like his father. Hey, tell me. You'll not reply me. Where is my lively husband this year? Hm? Your lively husband is dead. Ah. Sometimes I feel like... God is intentionally punishing me for something. Because this silence is loud. Very loud. I have been at the same job for the past seven years. The same frustrating job. And these people will now start threatening us with downsizing. The monthly salary is just by feet. And even the increase, the salary increase that comes from my promotion is barely enough to get by. We have been in this one bedroom apartment since our three years of marriage. We barely even have enough money to look for a new one. A new child is coming. Why is my life stagnant? But why now? I have always been graceful to God for a life of peace. Living one day at a time. Or is it because of the new car that God blessed Mr. Wali with? Hm? Sorry, Dave. Hope you're not offended by... Alright then. Thank you for dropping me off. Take care, Dave. Bye. Take care, Dave. Tell me something I don't know. Who is Dave? It's not what you're thinking, babe. He's just a colleague that I offered to drop me off. We got talking and he told me about his disease. That he invited me to his hometown for burial. But of course I told him no. Why? Is he not a Christian? Or is Dave not David? Oh, girl. This guy, if he's interested in you, he may just push her many hours. Me? Travel alone with a guy to a place I do not know? I'm not that desperate. Okay. I just want what God brings. Not anything I go about grabbing all by myself. Alright. Do you get it? Yes. Just suit yourself. Oh, I will. Anyways, I would like to announce to you that this person you are looking at is the latest millionaire in town. Thank you, thank you, thank you. How many months ago did he get married? I even graduated from school many years before him. He doesn't even have children yet. And see how fast God is settling in. You ask God for a God-fearing wife and a home that honors God. Heaven's settled you. Without praying, without fasting, God blessed you with a beautiful little girl that looks just like you. A little royal. And I know that one is on the way. See how fast God is settling with my husband. Anyways, that's true. You guys are my greatest blessing. I just want a good life for you and the kids. We are grateful and we are not complaining. We see every effort you are doing to make our lives better. But I think you want something more. You don't want to seem stuck or less blessed than your brethren. So you won't go to take away the shame and massage your ego. Not so. Lord, I ask you for a wife. Not a magnifying lens. Anyways, that's true. There is something she not told me about. So there is this person that came to the company and was talking about investment opportunities. Yeah, yeah. I think I took note of it. One minute. MBMinvest.com Millionaire Builders Mandate. Yes, that's it. So I invested all the money my fiancé kept with me in our wedding plans. I figured that I can make a hundred percent plus in three months. My fiancé and I are settled for not just our wedding but life after. Lizzie, what did you do? What did I do? Did you tell your fiancé? Let's not even start from there. Which investment will give you a hundred percent guaranteed yield in three months? Do you even know what business they are committing your money to? They said something like Cryptoflex. Cryptoflex. You do not even know the nature of this business. This is not how investment works. This is ringing all the alarm bells of a scam to me. See, there is a reason why it takes time for a seed to grow into a shrub and much longer to become a tree. The yield of your investment is proportional to the time you take, like, you're willing to actually wait for it. I don't know how else to say this to you, Lizzie. There are no shortcuts in God's ways. Only shortcuts to heartbreaks shall we both understand. All the money my fiancé and I have put together is nothing compared to the needs we have. And our wedding is just this year ending. You see, you don't know how expensive event centers are to rent, how much food stores are in the market. Even house rent on the mainland is competing with the island. What happened to faith, Lizzie? What happened to trusting God for your finances? God is still in the business of making a way where there is none for those that wait upon him. We have trusted God for a better job for my fiancé. And still yet, for over a year, we've not seen anything. Not everyone is like you, Sharon. You're already in your early thirties and you're not in a relationship yet. If it were my case, I'd trust my mother. My mother would have frustrated me with words. But somehow it doesn't provoke you too much. See, maybe God has a way of answering our prayers differently. And that might just be my answered prayer. Did you pray about it? I was thinking that... I was thinking we can invest some of our house rent in it. Nyogo, you will do no such thing. No such thing, sir. I don't even feel right about this thing. It's not even the right time. We don't need to take short cuts because we want to meet up with people financially. So where is this pressure coming from? Is it from faith or is it from flesh? Because whatever is not of faith is sin. A delayed answer is only an investment yielding interest. In fact, I even know somewhere that we can put our money into. Okay. Tell me about it. You pay me for it. Investment is a good... Mr. Wale! Mr. Wale! Mr. Wale! Mr. Wale, good morning. Good morning, sir. And congratulations. My wife and I are so glad for this beautiful addition to your family. It's the Lord's doing. It actually came earlier than it did. Amazing. Here is a lottery token from us. It should be able to afford the car for at least a week. Thank you so much, sir. I didn't expect this. This is just a token comparison to what the Lord has done. We are so thankful. Please have a great day, sir. My regards to your wife. No problem. Thank you. When the three Hebrew boys faced the threat of being cast into the fire for their faith, a rescue wasn't promised by heaven. The fires of uncertainty and the pressures that come with delayed answers are likewise. Though the length of the wait is unknown, we will choose to answer like the three Hebrew boys. O King Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter. Our God, whom we serve, is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace. But if not, we will still not serve your God, nor worship the golden King which thou hast sent on.
