Hello!
I understand your priorities but I encourage you to settle
down with this piece. You know why? Life’s countless brush-offs have hindered
many from locating the gain wrapped up in every pain. Impressed? This is not
why am here. There’s no life without a story, so I am not here to tell you
mine.
I am here embracing the spirit of Bartimaeus. He had no voice and lost
his title to his challenge but persistence earned him his desired health. Yeah...Persistence!
I refuse to dismiss my age-long testimonies as mere coincidences.
August is noted for imposing visitations and mine was
remarkable. The unseen forces of darkness tried to sentence me to an early
grave and it was this day. Oh! Don’t bother about me. I’d like you to realise
that there is a greater hand that can disappoint the devices of
wickedness.
August 24, 2003 witnessed the frustration of medical science as
doctors could detect no form of sickness or disease after proper diagnosis. I was
discharged from the hospital while pining away. No assumed prescription gave me
cure but the scriptures brought me health as the Holy Communion was
administered.
This death appointment became obvious as the enemy’s jinx
manifested in form of a fatal accident on August 24, 2004. In the midst of the
mist formed by flames inside the deformed vehicle, my spirit did not forget
God’s promise of long life. I remembered that in His store, there is no evil
but a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11). My tongue was an available tool
(Proverbs 18:21) and I confessed, “I will not die in Jesus name.”
Indeed, it is not negotiable that a Christian will pass through
storms. No doubt, the bible says “When you pass through the waters, I will be
with you and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you: When you walk
through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you.” (Isaiah
43:2).
Friend, afflictions in season have always strengthened a
Christian. At such time faith comes to play. Time is a wonderful phenomenon
that proves. No momentous difficulty can overrule the plan of God in one’s
life. Real men use difficult times to actualize purpose.
You, whose lives have touched pain and witnessed loss, look
beneath the rust and discover the gold. It is such life encounters that beckon
to victory. Do keep this reality intact in your memory that every tick the
clock makes is a departure/beginning of a valued moment. What are you making of
today?
