How God was Merciful to Me in the Company Law Exam

After writing my company law exams if anyone had told me I wouldn’t rewrite that exam again I wouldn’t have believed them one bit because I knew what I wrote.  This is a testimony of How God was merciful to me. Amongst my final law exams this year, was a course called company law. I remember cramming as many sections as I could remember as well as cases in the hope that the exams would be better than the previous semester.

The professor in charge of this course is known as a rigid lecturer who doesn’t tolerate or pardon students when marking exam scripts. It’s easier to get an F in his course than it is to get an A. After getting a C the previous semester I was hoping to do better. Howbeit with the thesis writing we had to do this final semester, as well as other projects and activities. Studying became a scary opportunity and before I knew it, I was cramming the night before the exams.

In the exam hall, I was so stressed that my hands became cold, and my head felt heavy. To make matters worse there were a lot of seniors (who were supposed to have graduated) rewriting the course again. I tried praying and asking for retentive memory but once our exam paper was handed over to us, and I saw the questions, the sections and case laws became difficult to recall. This was when I started panicking.

The rule was to answer 4 theory questions, a certain question had its answer directly from the Company Law Act and it had to be recited section by section. Soon enough I realised I had mixed up the sections in my head and didn’t know which section was for which rule.  That must’ve been the time I made a prayer to God begging Him not to let me rewrite this course again.

The more I tried to answer the question the more my hope diminished, and I began to realise that, unless a miracle happens, I would rewrite the exam again.  To sum it up, I answered less than 4 questions, and the questions that I answered, I found out after leaving the exam hall, that my sections were mixed up and therefore wrong.

As you might have imagined I broke down when I returned to my room. We had an exam the next day and my heart was too broken about the exam I had just written.

‘God, I want to believe that you can help me, but I do not think I have faith at all or enough’

In that state of despair, I came across this website and the testimony of a certain student.

I never understood the importance of a testimony until that moment. When I read their testimony, it made me think If God can do this for them, if they could believe, then surely, I can believe too. Surely God can help me too.

So, I prayed another prayer

‘Lord, I have less time to prepare for my next exam, but the anxiety wouldn’t let me touch my book. Lord if you hear me and you will help me with the Company Law exam, then please let me be at peace to revise my books today. If I pass Company Law, I will also give my testimony on this app’

So, my first testimony is that God showed me mercy by giving me the peace of mind to read for the next exam that same day. The next exam was better, and finally, when the results were released, I had Bs in all my other courses and a C in Company Law. I have never been so grateful for a C like this before. If God showed me such mercy and grace, surely, he can help anyone who calls upon him.

It would have been an E or an F, but I got a C despite answering less questions and providing some significantly wrong answers. God touched the heart of our stern and rigid professor. It can only be God. I thank God.
