Billionaire Disguises as a Poor Beggar Outside Church to Find a Wife

Andrew Chik was one of the most eligible  bachelors in town. Handsome and full of charisma,   he was the only son of Chief Madu, a man blessed  with five children and immense wealth. Chief Madu   was a third generation billionaire.  But despite his influence and power,   he raised his children in the Christian way.
He  instilled in them morals, love, and compassion,   teaching them to care even for the least among  people. Andrew carried these values with him   everywhere he went. Because of his striking looks,  many assumed Andrew was a playboy, but in truth,   he was a devoted Christian. His father longed  for him to marry since he was the only son who   would carry on the family name.
Tall, kind,  and intelligent, Andrew’s smooth brown skin,   curly hair, and radiant smile drew admiration from  women all over town. Yet, he had no interest in   empty affection. What he was looking for was real  love. Someone who would cherish him for who he   was, not for his family’s fortune. One afternoon,  Chief Madu called his son.
His deep voice carried   warmth as he said, “My son, I am proud of you.  Remember, you promised me you would get married   once your overseas project was completed.” Andrew  chuckled lightly. “Dad, you know I haven’t been   lucky with women. They only chase after my  money and influence. When I test their hearts,   I find nothing there.
I once went on a date with  a woman who even told me she didn’t believe in God   and that marriage was nothing but a trap. Chief  Madu replied softly, “Do not give up on love,   my son. He who finds a wife finds a good thing.”  Andrew nodded, agreeing to marry when he returned.   Weeks later, Andrew returned to Nigeria, overjoyed  by the success of his project abroad.
His father,   a firm believer in sharing testimonies, insisted  that the family attend church together to thank   God for his goodness. That Sunday morning, the  Madu family walked into the church, drawing   admiring whispers from the congregation. The  daughters, dressed in elegance, shone brightly,   their glowing skin like glass in the sunlight.  Murmurss spread quickly through the congregation.
I heard his son Andrew is single and looking for  a wife. One lady whispered from the back. Susan,   the church’s lead chister, noticed  Andrew at once. Beautiful and stylish,   she was known for her angelic voice that often  moved the congregation to tears. Yet behind   her charm was a heart full of pride and envy.
She  looked down on anyone who she felt was below her,   often judging people by their clothes, jewelry, or  the gadgets they carried. That day seeing Andrew,   Susan sang with all her might, flaunting herself  as though she belonged to royalty. When Andrew   later stood to give his testimony, he also gave  a generous sum of offering. Susan’s eyes widened.
She leaned toward her friend who was a fellow  corister and whispered, “Did you see that? How   money flows in that family. I must have him. He  is single, rich, and from an influential family.   Who else could match my beauty in this church?  She smiled with confidence. That evening, as   the family gathered for dinner, Chief Madu turned  to his son.
What did you think of those beautiful   ladies staring at you in church today? Or are you  saying you didn’t notice? Andrew laughed. Come on,   Dad. We were in church. How could I focus on  ladies? Well, I noticed if you didn’t, Chief   Madu teased, and they both laughed together. A few  days later, the pastor paid a visit to Chief Madu,   as he often did, to join the family in prayers.
During his visit, he reminded Chief Madu about the   upcoming Thanksgiving service at the church  and encouraged the entire family to attend.   Chief Madu agreed without hesitation, knowing how  important the service was. On the morning of the   Thanksgiving service, Andrew rode with his father  to church. Along the way, his eyes caught sight of   a woman crossing the road with a little boy, no  more than 6 years old, holding her hand.
As they   drew closer, Andrew saw an elderly man struggling  with a heavy bag. Without a second thought,   the woman hurried over to help him carry it  across the road. Her name was Grace. Grace   was a single mother who served as an usher in the  church. Hardworking, humble, and kind, she treated   everyone with respect and never looked down on  anyone. People admired her for that humility.
Her   story was not without pain. Back in high school,  she became pregnant by her high school sweetheart.   But when she told him, he abandoned her. Later,  she heard he had married another woman in Ghana.   Since then, Grace had raised her son on her own,  working tirelessly to care for him and her sick   father. She earned a living at a furniture store,  stretching every effort to provide for her family.
Despite her struggles, Grace’s faith in God never  wavered. She remained devoted in service, trusting   that God’s timing was perfect, that one day  everything would fall into place. Watching her act   of kindness that morning, Andrew smiled quietly  in the car. “It’s good to see that people still   care,” he murmured. Chief Madu nodded knowingly.
“I think I’ve seen her in our church before,”   he said. “She looks familiar.” When they arrived  at the church, Susan immediately spotted Andrew.   She paraded herself boldly, hoping to draw his  attention. But Andrew paid her no mind. His focus   was on the pastor and the message being preached,  his heart absorbed by the sermon. After the   service, as Andrew made his way toward his car, a  small boy rushed up to him, tears brimming in his   eyes. “Sir, my ball fell in the gutter. Can you  help me get it, please?” The boy pleaded.
Andrew   looked down at him, saw the sadness in his little  face, and nodded. Without hesitation, he followed   the boy to the gutter. Removing his jacket,  rolling up his sleeves, he bent down to retrieve   the ball. When he handed it back, the boy’s face  lit up with joy. “Thank you, sir. Now I can keep   practicing. I want to be like Ronaldo when I grow  up.
” Just as they were talking, Grace rushed out   slightly out of breath. “Where have you been?”  “I’ve been looking for you,” she said. Andrew   suddenly recognized her face. It was the same  woman who had helped the old man earlier. Grace   quickly thanked him for helping her son. “It’s my  pleasure,” Andrew replied warmly. “He reminds me   of myself when I was little.” They began to talk.
Grace spoke about her faith and what serving in   the church meant to her. Andrew listened, deeply  moved by her sincerity and her selflessness.   By the time their conversation ended, Andrew  realized there was something different about her.   Grace’s humility, kindness, and devotion left a  mark on his heart. As they parted ways, he carried   with him a sense of hope and excitement, believing  just maybe he had finally met someone who truly   understood love and faith.
When Andrew returned  home that day, he went straight to his father,   Chief Madu, eager to share everything that had  happened at church. He told him about the little   boy whose ball had fallen into the gutter. And he  also mentioned Susan, the stylish corister with a   voice like an angel.
But even as he spoke, Andrew  reminded himself that outward appearances could no   longer sway him. A few days later, Andrew visited  a nearby supermarket to buy some items. As he   walked down one of the aisles, he suddenly heard  someone call his name. Mr. Andrew. surprised,   he turned and saw Susan, the lead chister from  church, smiling warmly as she approached. “It’s   me, Susan, the chister from church. Nice to  meet you properly,” she said.
Andrew returned   her smile. She teased him playfully, saying it was  good to see such a handsome man in the house of   God. They both laughed at her light-hearted words.  Susan soon noticed he looked a little confused.   When she asked if he was shopping alone, Andrew  nodded and explained that his sister had sent him   to pick up some items, but he didn’t even  know what most of them looked like.
Susan   offered to help, and although Andrew hesitated,  not wanting to trouble her, she insisted. They   shopped together, laughing and sharing stories  about church and their lives. When they were done,   Andrew thanked her sincerely. Just before he  left, Susan handed him a small invitation card. My   birthday is this Friday, she said softly.
I know  you are very busy, but it would mean the world   to me if you came. Andrew smiled, telling her he  would see what he could do. Her eyes sparkled as   she thanked him. He collected the card and replied  warmly. Just call me Andrew before walking to his   car. On the day of the party, Andrew dressed in  his usual stylish suit and arrived at the venue.
Susan rushed out to meet him, overjoyed  that he had come. She hugged him happily,   and Andrew reminded her with a smile that he tried  to keep his word. He mentioned he couldn’t stay   long because of an online meeting later that  evening. Still, they sat together talking,   laughing, and sharing stories about the church,  their passion for helping others, and their dreams   of living a life devoted to God. By 7 p.m., Andrew  knew it was time to leave.
Susan’s face fell when   he said goodbye, wishing he could stay longer.  He smiled warmly and wished her a happy birthday   again before leaving. When Andrew arrived home,  his father was in the living room watching the   8:00 news. “Good evening, Dad.” Andrew greeted  cheerfully. Chief Madu looked at him and joked.   “Good evening, my boy. You’re smiling like you  just won the lottery.” They both laughed.
Andrew   then told him everything. how he met Susan at the  supermarket, her kind invitation, and her sweet,   polite nature. Chief Madu listened attentively  before asking with a smile. “So, my son, are we   finally looking at a wife?” Andrew hesitated. “I  guess so, Dad. But sometimes appearances can be   deceiving. I want to be sure of a woman’s heart.  I have a plan.
Next Sunday, I’ll disguise myself   as a beggar and sit outside the church gate to see  who truly has love in their hearts. Cousin Mike,   who looks like me, will attend church in my place  so no one suspects. Chief Madu chuckled. My son,   are you trying to play games in the house of  God? Andrew nodded firmly. Even the Bible says   we should be as wise as serpents. I want a woman  with a forgiving heart and genuine love.
Proudly,   Chief Madu smiled. You are right, my son. Do what  you must. You have my full support. The following   Sunday, Chief Madu attended church with his family  as usual, but this time it was Andrews cousin,   Mike, who accompanied them. Because of  their striking resemblance, everyone mistook   Mike for Andrew, not realizing the difference.
Meanwhile, Andrew had disguised himself in worn,   ragged clothes, looking every bit like a beggar.  He stood quietly in a hidden corner of the church,   listening to the sermon and watching carefully  so no one would recognize him. When the service   ended, he slipped out unnoticed, walked to the  church gate, and sat on the dusty pavement like a   poor beggar, waiting to see who would truly show  kindness.
Susan, the leader, soon spotted Mike,   mistaking him for Andrew. Her heart skipped  a beat. Blushing deeply, she left her usual   spot in the church and went straight to sit beside  him, acting as though they were already a couple.   She leaned in close, flaunting herself with bold  gestures, completely forgetting she was still in   a place of worship. Laughing loudly and smiling,  she tried to draw attention to herself.
As members   streamed out of the church, Andrew lifted  his voice in a soft, pleading tone. “Please   help me. I haven’t eaten for days. Anything will  help, please. His words floated gently across the   street. When he noticed Susan approaching with her  friends, he thought to himself, “Surely she will   help.” But disappointment pierced his heart. Susan  walked right past him without a second glance.
Instead, she hissed, “You lazy goat. Instead of  looking for a job, you’re waiting for someone to   feed you.” One of her friends, catching Andrews  expression, whispered quickly, “Don’t mind him!”   And they all moved on, leaving him sitting in the  dust. Moments later, Grace appeared, holding the   hand of her little boy, Sam. The six-year-old’s  eyes widened when he noticed Andrew on the ground.
“Mommy, mommy! Look at this man. He hasn’t eaten.  Can I give him one of my biscuits?” the boy asked   eagerly. Grace smiled warmly and nodded. “Yes,  you can, my boy.” Sam handed over his biscuit and   Andrew smiled gratefully. Grace then reached into  her handbag and pulled out a 200 naira note. I   don’t have much, she said softly. But manage this.
Andrews heart swelled with warmth as he accepted   the money, touched by her kindness. Oh, thank you  so much, my dear, he said gently. You’re welcome,   Baba, Grace replied with a smile as she and Sam  continued down the street, waving back at him.   When the street emptied and silence returned,  Andrew quickly stood up and hurried to where his   car was parked, his heart racing.
That evening,  back at home, he shared everything with his   father. “Dad, you won’t believe how she acted.  The one I thought was an angel in church,” Andrew   said, shaking his head. “Susan, the beautiful  corer with the angelic voice. She treated a person   in need with such cruelty. I’m disappointed.” He  paused, then continued. But Grace, the usher with   her little boy Sam, she showed genuine care.
She  didn’t know who I was, yet she gave me from the   little she had. Her heart is pure, Dad. That’s  the kind of woman I want in my life. Chief Madu   nodded thoughtfully. Yes, she truly is a nice  person. I once forgot my wallet in church, and   she quickly brought it to me. I even offered her  some money, but she refused with a gentle smile.   Andrews face brightened. Exactly, Dad.
She’s the  only one who took pity on me without knowing who   I really am. Susan’s beauty and voice cannot hide  the emptiness of her heart. I’ll try again next   Sunday, father. I won’t judge from just one day.  I need to be sure. Chief Madu smiled and placed a   reassuring hand on his son’s shoulder. Whatever  decision you make, I’ll stand by you, my son.   Take your time. Observe with your heart.
If Grace  continues to show such kindness, then perhaps you   found your answer. Andrew nodded solemnly, already  planning his next test for the coming Sunday. He   was determined to find a wife with true values,  someone who understood forgiveness and love,   not just appearances. The next Sunday, Andrew  once again dressed in his beggar disguise,   and sat quietly outside the church gate.
As the  members began to leave the service, he called out   softly, begging for help. Please, someone help me.  I haven’t eaten for days. Anything would help. He   watched intently, waiting to see who would show  genuine concern. One by one, young ladies who   normally smiled and waved at him in church walked  past.
Their faces were blank, their eyes averted,   as if he were invisible. Andrew’s heart sank  slightly, but he remained patient. “This was the   true test.” Suddenly, Grace appeared, holding a  black nylon bag in her hand. “Oh, I’m glad you’re   here,” she said happily. Kneeling slightly,  she handed him a loaf of bread wrapped in the   nylon. “I bought this for you on my way to church  this morning, Baba.
” Reaching into her purse and   gave him 500 naira. “Use this to buy coke,” she  said. Andrew smiled warmly. Thank you so much,   my daughter. You’re so kind. Grace laughed softly.  It’s my salary week, so let’s enjoy. Then Andrew   asked about her son. Grace replied that Sam was  still inside the church helping the other ushers   arrange chairs. As they spoke, Susan walked past  with her friend.
Andrew called out, “My daughter,   anything for a poor beggar?” But Susan shouted at  him in anger, “How dare you call me your daughter?   Don’t you ever in your life repeat that. She  stormed off with her friends, leaving Andrew   to bow his head in shame. Grace leaned toward him  and whispered gently. Don’t mind her. Okay. I have   to go back to the church to join the others. Take  care of yourself. Andrew nodded.
God bless you,   my daughter. Later that evening, Andrew returned  home and told his father everything. He showed   Chief Mu the bread and the 500 naira note Grace  had given him and he described how rude Susan had   been. I am highly disappointed, Dad,” he said.  “I expected kindness from her, but she acted so   cruel. Even though she smiles and seems sweet in  church, outside she is the opposite.
” Chief Madu   nodded solemnly. “You see, my son, appearances can  be very deceptive. But have you found the answer   you were looking for?” Andrew shook his head. “Not  yet, Dad. I think I should try one more time. You   know what they say, third times the charm.
The  following Sunday, Andrew dressed again in the same   beggar clothes and sat quietly outside the church  gate. As members streamed out after service,   he cried out softly for help, observing their  reactions carefully. Once again, Grace appeared,   this time holding Sam’s hand. “Hey, my daughter.  How are you?” Andrew asked warmly. “I’m fine,” she   replied with a smile. I need to go home quickly  today to give my father his afternoon medications.
He isn’t feeling well. Andrew looked at her  gently. My daughter, can I ask you something?   Where is Sam’s father? I only see the two of you  every Sunday. Grace’s smile faded slightly. It’s a   bitter story, but I’m all Sam has. I got pregnant  by my high school sweetheart. We were in love   and he promised to marry me, but he abandoned me  after I became pregnant.
I lost my mother during   that period and had to drop out of school to  care for my elderly father. Life was difficult,   but God has been faithful. Andrew nodded solemnly.  I’m so sorry to hear that, my daughter. I didn’t   mean to remind you of your pain. Grace smiled  softly. It’s okay. That pain has turned into   joy because of Sam. He is a blessing. Andrew  looked at Sam, who smiled shily.
He is a good   child with a kind heart, he said. Grace then  handed Andrew a 100 narrow note. Take this,   use it to buy water. The son is very hot. Andrew  was touched. My daughter, your father is sick,   and yet you still think of me. Thank you. Grace  waved as she and Sam walked away. Not long after,   Susan and her friends passed by, laughing and  chatting.
Did you see how Andrew looked at me   today? She said loudly to her friends. I will  get him. I can already imagine myself in that   big mansion as his wife with the maids calling  me Madam Susan. Andrew, still in disguise,   called out softly, “My daughter, anything for  me today?” Susan stopped and shouted angrily,   “How dare you repeat that again? I will never give  you a dime. If you’re tired of life, just die.
Stop disturbing people. She stormed past, her  friends laughing loudly behind her. Andrew bowed   his head, ashamed and heartbroken. The coldness  in Susan’s heart was clear for all to see. Yet,   he remained calm. He had finally seen her true  colors. When Andrew got home that evening, he sat   quietly on his bed, his mind filled with thoughts  of grace and everything she had shared with him.
She had so little, yet she was always giving to  others. Even after all the pain she had endured,   she never allowed it to harden her heart. To  Andrew, she was a woman of true virtue. Her   strength, humility, and genuine love for people  shown brighter than wealth or social status. As he   smiled to himself, he realized that he had finally  found someone remarkable.
The next morning, Andrew   joined his family for breakfast, his mood lighter  than usual. With a bright energy, he announced,   “I’ve found my wife. His sisters exchanged  curious glances. Lillian teased him, saying,   “Finally, you’re giving us a sister-in-law. The  table erupted with laughter.” Chief Madu, however,   looked at his son with interest and asked, “When  are you bringing her home?” “Soon,” Andrew replied   thoughtfully. “But she has no idea who I really  am.
We’ve only met once, when I helped her son   pick his ball from the gutter. I don’t know  if she would accept me if she knew my true   identity. Why not, my brother? Every woman would  be lucky to have you, one of his sisters said. No,   not Grace, Andrew answered firmly. She isn’t  materialistic. She’s independent and smart. She   doesn’t care about status or wealth. She values  love and kindness above everything else.
Chief   Madu smiled warmly. Don’t worry, my son. She  will accept you. You have the blood of Chief   Madu. Do you know where she lives? No, Dad. But  I asked one of the ushers and he directed me to   her workplace. Good. Then you should pay her  a visit, Chief Mu advised. A few days later,   Andrew went to the furniture store in AA  where Grace worked.
As soon as he entered,   Grace stepped forward and greeted him warmly.  “Welcome to Casey Furniture, sir,” she said,   bowing slightly, though her eyes were cautious  and curious. She did not recognize him at first.   Andrew smiled at her, but his silence made her  nervous. Sir, is something wrong?” she asked   quickly. “Not at all,” he replied gently. “I just  wanted to thank you for the bread you gave me.
I   really enjoyed it.” “The bread?” Grace asked,  confused. “You bought it for me one Sunday?”   Andrew explained softly. “I am the old beggar you  helped at the church gate?” Grace’s eyes widened   in shock. “You, Baba?” she stammered. “Yes,  it’s me, Andrew,” he said with a kind smile.   Then he explained everything.
How he had disguised  himself to find a true wife, afraid of ending up   with someone only drawn to his wealth. But of all  the ladies I met at church, he said sincerely,   you were different. You have genuine love and  forgiveness in your heart. As the shop closed,   Andrew offered to drop her home. Grace refused  politely, but he insisted. When they arrived,   Sam was outside practicing his football skills.  Mommy. Mommy, welcome.
” Sam shouted, running to   her. Then, spotting Andrew, his face lit up. I  remember you, mister. You helped me pick my ball   from the gutter that day. Oh, little Ronaldo, you  remember me? Andrew laughed. How are you doing?   I’m fine, sir. I’ve been practicing hard. Sam  replied proudly. Andrew turned to Grace. I will   take my leave now.
May I have your phone number?  Shily, Grace gave it to him, fumbling nervously,   holding his Samsung S25 phone. “Thank you,”  Andrew said warmly. “I will call you.” The next   day was a Saturday morning. Andrew called her  and invited her to dinner. Before the evening,   his driver delivered dresses, jewelry, handbags,  and shoes in different colors for her. That night,   they dined together, sharing stories, laughter,  and dreams.
As the evening grew deeper,   Andrew looked at her with seriousness. “Grace,”  he said, holding a sparkling diamond ring. “Will   you marry me?” Grace gasped, covering her mouth  with her hands. “I I don’t know what to say,”   she whispered. “I know this is fast and may feel  overwhelming,” Andrew said gently. “But trust me,   you won’t regret marrying me or joining my  family.” and Sam, he will be my son, too.
I will raise him with love as if he were my own.”  Months later, the whole town buzzed with news. The   beggar who had once sat outside the church gate  was in truth Chief Madu’s only son, Andrew Chik.   And the man everyone had believed to be Andrew  all along was actually his lookalike cousin,   Mike. Andrew only smiled at the whispers and  surprise. In grace, he had found more than a wife.
He had found a pure and steadfast heart, one  capable of giving a love that no wealth could   ever buy. When Susan heard the news, she could  not hold back her tears. She sank onto her bed,   overwhelmed with regret, as memories of her harsh  words and wicked acts toward the beggar flooded   her mind.
She remembered the moment she had called  him a jobless goat, how she had mocked Grace, and   how she had believed herself too important to help  anyone in need. Now the truth stood before her.   The very man she had scorned was Andrew Chik, the  same man she had admired from afar in church. The   realization struck her like lightning.
Her pride  and superficiality had cost her the chance to be   with a man of true character. With her head bowed  in sorrow, she wished desperately that she could   undo her actions. But she knew some mistakes could  never be taken back. While Susan wept in regret,   Andrew and Grace’s affection grew stronger.
Their  wedding had been a beautiful celebration of love,   attended by family, friends, and church  members who had all come to admire Grace’s   kind and generous heart. Under Andrew’s care,  Grace’s father, who had been sick for years,   was flown abroad for the best medical treatment.  With time, he gradually regained his strength.   Sam was enrolled in one of the best schools in  the city, receiving a solid education, and he   continued to pursue his passion for football,  attending one of the top footballmies during   school holidays. Months later, their happiness  deepened when the cries of a newborn filled the
mansion. Grace had given birth to a beautiful  baby girl with curly hair and bright brown eyes,   who instantly became the center of their world.  Sam was overjoyed to have a little sister and   proudly took it upon himself to help care for her,  declaring that he would always be her protector.   Through it all, Andrew and Grace never forgot the  lesson that had brought them together.
True love   thrives on kindness, forgiveness, and a heart  devoted to God. They understood that no matter   what challenges life might bring, as long as  they carried love, faith, and forgiveness in   their hearts, they could overcome anything.  And so in a home built on trust, compassion,   and God’s guidance, their family lived happily  ever after.
Proof that the most beautiful   relationships are those rooted in genuine love  and one that carries God along. Dear viewers,   what lessons did you take away from this dramatic  tale?
