Have you lost hope in anything? Do you feel rejected? Are you desperate? The story of Nimo in Abandoned Child highlights some of the ways God gives hope to the hopeless and sets them on a pedestal of success. According to his townspeople, Nimo, a boy, has a bad destiny that he will oppose their ancestral worship and make people turn away from it. Thus, the townspeople consider him an outcast and tie him to a tree in a forest to be devoured by a wild animal or die of hunger to prevent him from fulfilling his destiny. While he cries for rescue amid singing a song which glorifies God, a lion goes to him. But the moment the lion stretches its forelegs to devour him, terrific lightning and thunder strike repeatedly and frighten it, so it runs away from him. But at the same time, the lightning and thunder wake up a chimpanzee which is asleep on the top of the tree. Sensing danger, the chimpanzee climbs down the tree for safety and when it sees Nimo, it goes to destroy the thread which has been used to tie him without harming him to set him free. | Abandoned Child by Isaac Nkrumah Darko, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
