Iron Sharpens Iron

Missed part one of the four part series, how about you start from the top and understand the genesis of all this. Start here   then continue below  😊 Monday arrived faster than expected. No sooner did Martin’s share hit the accounts than the guy had all his things packed and ready to go. His dad paid him a visit numerous times trying to speak some sense into him but all he got were rolled eyes and banged doors every time he tried. The pain Cyril got on seeing his son leave that Monday morning brought untold sorrow. He couldn’t help but feel that he was losing his son for good just as he had lost his wife Maryanne. Martin drove off his father’s estate with not so much as a good bye to his family. His future never once crossed his mind. All he could think about was how he could have the time of his life. “After all, I have worked practically all my life for dad’s company. I can afford the long vacation. The future can wait.” He grinned as he drove out of his home town.

Cyril Kamahindu stood outside his office with his hands akimbo and a broad smile on his face. God had been nothing but gracious and faithful. There were a number of rough edges in his life, but it was nothing compared to what God had blessed him with. Cyril and Sons Company Limited was doing well. Exceptionally well. Better than any other business in Thaita town. His greatest achievement however was having his two sons work alongside him. Nothing gave him satisfaction other than God being his life’s foundation and building his business empire with both his sons by his side. “God is good!”  He said to himself, the broad smile growing larger as he shut the door to his Mercedes and walked towards the building that housed his company.  Martin, Cyril’s second borne son had arrived earlier than the rest of the workers. Holed up in his office which was directly opposite that of his dad’s, he finished up on his management reports. There was a meeting at 10 am with the company’s boards
