A Nigerian man has shared an inspirational story on how he was favoured due to his persistence, which ordinarily many won't have the courage to do.
He had been invited to a dinner organised by the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Port Harcourt chapter where he was to present a paper in the presence of the deputy governor of Rivers state, who will be given an award at the dinner too.
He went along with his family to the dinner, during the speech by the deputy governor, his daughter had asked if she could make a video of the deputy governor which her mother disagreed to, in fear of her security details.

According to him, he persisted that the daughter should try first, then whatever happens he will be satisfied that at least she made a move.
The beautiful daughter succeeded on her mission and at the end of her speech, the deputy governor requested to take a picture with her, which later led to her giving his daughter a scholarship.
In his post, the man shared the moral lessons of persistency. According to him, even when things doesn't seem clear, it is better to give a trial other than assuming the worst and end up doing nothing.
He wrote:
"IF THEY DON'T ALLOW ME, I WILL COME BACK!
I was invited to a Dinner to round off a conference by the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Port Harcourt on Saturday. I had earlier presented a paper at the conference. My family joined me for the Dinner.
The Deputy Governor of Rivers State was to be given an award at the Dinner. As she stood for her citation, my second daughter told me she wanted to go video her. My wife refused and I told her the security would not allow her. She insisted on trying. I allowed her. She forced her way through the security and was face to face with the deputy governor and did her video.
Later in her speech, the deputy governor asked for my daughter to come out and insisted that she would take pictures with her. She gave her money and even asked to be involved in her education henceforth. My wife was shocked. Everyone was.
LESSONS:
1. Try first! You can come back if you fail!
2. To get to the front in life, you must find your way through the SECURITY - the obstacles!
3. When you get to the FRONT in life, your helpers will see you clearly!
Yes, YOU CAN!"
