THE TWO BROTHERS In the town of Umueze there live two brothers,Obinna and Emeka.Obinna was strong, smart, and popular . When he finished secondary school,he left for Lagos.In five years time he built a business bought a car and built a house every one praised him.Emaka his younger brother was different .He stayed back at the village.He served in the church - he cleaned the church every Saturday, thought Sunday school children, visited the sick,play the drum for choir and even helped old people in the church, people laughed at him."Emeka you are wasting your time,"his friends will say."serving God will not put food on your table.see your brother Obinna.But Emeka will always smile and say, "serving God is my food ."One day a great trouble came. Oil spill destroyed Obinna's business in Lagos.He became sick and had no money for hospital.All his city friend's and girlfriend's ran away.He returned to Umueze heartbroken and ashamed.The same Emeka and the church he use to laugh at,were the one's that took him in and payed his hospital bills.The youths Emeka taught in Sunday school came daily to help Emeka on his farm.One fateful day,the son of one of the old women Emeka was helping Came back from the city, his name was Evans he owns a poultry farm and heard about Emeka's hard work and commitment.He decided to ask is mother for advice if truly what people say about Emeka was true, his mother agree and also pursued him to let Emeka work at his farm.Few years later Emeka started his own farm business, with God by his side he made it to the top as one of the biggest poultry industrialist in Nigeria.He came back to the village.Obinna his brother was very happy to see him,he regretted been so selfish,greedy and too much of a money chaser,he forgot the one person who is the life giver and wealth giver God.Obinna cried.He said "brother I served money and money left me but you serve God and God never left you".From that day Obinna joins his younger brother.He learnt that serving God is not a waste
