FROM DIFFICULTY LIES AN OPPORTUNITY



You are going through hell, you are in a deep trouble, you are in a big mess, you are between the devil and the deep blue sea, you are confused, you are fed up; YES!, I know, your situation seems very difficult, worse, ridiculous, bad, obscure , cumbersome, unsolvable, unpalatable. Oooo! All these adjectives of difficulty are in the heart of a striving man. But, this man does not know that there is time for everything, that to every time, a purpose is attached. A time to be born and a time to die, a time to breakdown and a time to build up, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to seek and a time to lose, a time for war and a time for peace; Eccl 3:1-8. So, in every time of difficulty, there is also an opportunity to work hard desperately to walk out of bad times and clinch to victory. In the process of working in your weaknesses, you are unconsciously fulfilling the purpose of that time.
When you face hard times, just know that it is an opportunity to learn, to wax stronger, and to become a champion. The unknown fact about champions is that, their breakfast isn’t cereals, no! Isn’t legumes neither is it vegetable but a truck load of problems every morning. When you fall sick, don’t be unhappy, it is only a timely opportunity to care for your body; when you fail an examination, don’t give up, it is a probing opportunity to read more and know more, when you lose your job, don’t lament, it is a financial opportunity to get a better job, when you lose your loved brethren, don’t mourn, it is a divinely arranged eternal opportunity to meet together again in heaven; Even when we were  weak, it was an opportunity for Jesus to die for us, Romans 5:6-7. More so, whenever we are weak within, it is an open opportunity for the spirit of God to help us, Romans 8:26; Difficulty is a key to doors of opportunities.
A man can never be perfected without trials, even God, our father knows this and that was why He said; ‘’My power is made perfect in weakness’’ 2 Corinthians 12:9. If you are passing through what people call ‘problem’ but to me ‘trials’ just like Job and you have also cursed the day you were born and you are about to quit, i want you to open your eyes of understanding as you read that quitting is not in any way an opportunity. The world will always give you the opportunity to quit but only the world would call quitting an opportunity. I don’t want you to ever consider quitting because you can never realize how close you are to success before you quit.
Finally, to you the striving man, keep on striving and working endlessly in your trials, i am glad to tell you that great trial is only a necessary preparation for greatness. As for you the victor, i am honest to inform you that your victory is just a mere currency that buys you an admission ticket to a more challenging opportunity.

THE LONG MESSIANIC DREAM

               When we were young, we all had a dream, to us as children, we would not call it a dream but we just know it as a future ambition, we would even abuse anyone who does know what he/she wants to become, we called them ‘NFAs’- No Future Ambition. We all wanted to become something, to be a lawyer, a doctor, an engineer, a pilot, a footballer, a journalist or newscaster, a banker or an accountant, even as young as we were we dreamt big, nobody wants to be a carpenter, or a bricklayer, a plumber or even a teacher. If you mistakenly mention being a pastor or an evangelist to your mates, they will laugh their asses off.                  As we continued in our irreversible increase in size, so many artifacts collided and mixed with our so called dreams. The society summoned and threatened us that if we continued chasing that...

The heart of a Mother

The anguish of nine months,         The days of hard labor, The groaning of a mother,  Like the war of Armageddon,  A suffering woman,  An obstinate foetus.  The breast is aching,  The baby cries for more,  See the red nipple,  They stretch in their baby gro,  As they bite and suck.  They hate baby sitting,  The baby bouncers and walkers are useless,  As they always look forward to breaking their  mother's spine.  More terror,  As they grow in the habit of deafening crys,  The father is fast asleep,  But, the mother dares not.  They become uncomfortable,  The mother is observant,  As the excrement suffocates with it horrible smell,  The baby smiles again,  As they love to be clean,  A lifeblood she is.  The spine are on sabbatical, As they learn to move,  The metacarpals assumes th...
