The Papaya Tree
Rock and I believe in Miracles! In our life time we have had seen many miracles but I want to share with you about one particular supernatural happening which till today still confounded us. This happened in 1984 when we were playing host to a father and son team and they were Missionaries visiting my country. We knew very little about them, just informed by our pastor that so and so would be in town and asked whether we would mind hosting them in our home and we agreed.
Just about two months before their arrival, while I was mowing the lawn, I noticed a tiny Papaya plant sprouting about a couple of inches above ground. I just mowed it away. A week later, again I went to mow the lawn and again I noticed the Papaya plant sprouting a couples of inches above ground! I decided to let it grow and thought nothing about it. It grew very fast and about the time of the arrival of these two missionaries, the Papaya plant was about my height 166 cm and bore many Papayas.
To our amazement, we discovered that these two gentlemen were very particular about their diet and they ate fruit for dinner and they love Papayas! So I plucked the Papayas from that tree and served them for about a week. The Papayas were fantastic too. After one week stay with us, it was time for them to say good-bye and moved on to another country.
To our surprise, after we ate the remaining Papayas from that tree, it never bore another fruit! The tree just grew tall and remained barren. To me and my wife it just goes to show that how God can provide for the needs of His servants. Not only that, He loves His servants enough to even cater to the minutest detail such as Papayas!
