The Night Season




  After graduating from high school in 2016 amongst the best,  I can't say I was the best but at least very well above average.
 I remembered my literature teacher back then saying to us "not all of you would gain admission this year," of course he was right but right then and there I categorized the people he was talking about and of course, I can't be part!

How wrong I was! That year I didn't get admitted into the university, that isn't new now abi? People don't get admitted so whats the big deal?
  Still in my depressed state of not gaining admission, I had an accident! Gbam! My femur was broken! Can I ever walk again?(mind you the femur is the longest and strongest bone in the human body), that occurred January 31, 2017, how would I cope? Okay that's not a problem right? It happens, I went through surgery, came out alive,  Glory to God and I was discharged to walk on crutches for 3months. During these times, I wasn't able to stand by myself, I couldn't bath myself, I wasn't able to clean up after using the toilet, I practically cannot do anything by myself. Horrible! Isn't it?
I was for those 3months miserable, that wasn't all...

  One month after the surgery, my kidneys were inflamed, my liver was packing up, my spleens were not okay, I was a living dead! How painful! How distraught! How tragic!

God where is your face? Is God really alive? If he really is, let Him perform a miracle now! God is just a fairytale! These were thoughts that ran through my mind.
I couldn't be left alone, mom cried helplessly, dad cried secretly, my sister looked hopeless, my brother looked distraught, I was dieing! Who could have thought I'd be the one writing this to you today?

  There comes a period of our lives called the NIGHT TIME/THE TRAVAILING SEASON,  when all seems to be against us, like our dreams would never be fulfilled, those are moments of loneliness, our best friends desert us then, we loose shape, all hopes seems shattered, all of our friends have overtaken us,  lets pause here to tell you two other stories.
   Gold and silver were very good friends and did things together, one day a farmer picked them and into the fire they went because he discovered they were jewels, after a short while, silver was out, oh what fresh air again it thought and started laughing at Gold 'oh my, that fire is hot, how long will you last? I told you I'm better than you, see again, I'm out before you....
   The chicken hatches its egg in 21days but here is the elephant who has to be pregnant for almost 3years, can you imagine the number of chicks the chicken would have produced? The chicken taunted the elephant; 'are you sure you're pregnant? How long will you wait for it?' The elephant simply answered 'my time'.
   See!, the longer the pain you go through, the brighter the future provided would be,use it to your advantage. The longer gold stays in fire, the brighter it shines. If the elephant gives birth at a time, and the baby is sold, it would buy the entire generation of the chicken. So don't hate those who despise you during those seasons.

   Don't give up on that dream! Don't let the pain of the moment decide your future, there is light at the end of the tunnel. It's about dawn when the night is darkest. The battle is fiercest when the victor is about to be announced! Hang on its a price for a glorious destiny. A woman's pain is highest when the baby is almost out, hang on! your baby of success is almost here! Be strong and of good courage God is with you. Joshua 1:3.

TO THE LOVE OF MY LIFE

 To the love of my life,  Your words are sweeter than honey, gives me goosebumps, Just a touch from you, and my soul has never remained the same. I remembered when you to a blame, so I wouldn't be Judged, I remembered when I was so ugly and no one wanted me. But, you didn't just accept me, you loved me still in my ugliness. To the love of my life,  I've not always been faithful, and you knew about it. It broke your heart, but unbelievable you loved me more than before. I told you that I'm no more interested times without number, but instead to abandon me, you kept on drawing closer. When things seems rough and un-tidy, when my life was a mess and unkept, no one wanted me, no one knew, But you did and kept on seeking my heart. To the love of my life, I can't love you the way you loved me, but in the little way I can, I will always do. To the love of my life, *GOD!* I LOVE YOU ❤️

EXPOSE YOUR LITTLE SECRET

An enemy will continue to torment you, until you TELL THE ONE that's greater than the enemy. Okay...... For example *as a child,* you broke a plate in your own father's house and the housemaid was there when you did, so he holds it as an allegation against you. So anytime you're alone with the maid, he cheats you or may even beat you. And after beating or cheating on you, he tells you that,  "if you try to tell your mum, I'll expose your secret with me. I'll tell mummy that you broke the only plate that she loves so much". So he does this all the time, he creates fear in you, he makes you feel scared of your own mum and may even create a boundary between you and your mum. And for a long time, the child is being tormented by the maid in his house. The mum is suspecting that something is going on with her child. She knows that something is wrong. She then asks her child; "My dear, what's is wrong? Open up to me?"  The child wants to talk, but d...

WHY NOT TAKE ME ALONG!

"God! when you give me this, I will serve you", "God! if you do this for me, I will love you more"........ We keep saying this and that, when we are in need and when help is needed from God. Obviously, I'm not excluded from this, and I pray I'm changed for good. God is not a man, His ways are not our ways and his thoughts are unimaginable. I don't know how God sees it, but looking at it from a human perspective, it's really a sad thing if the only time you remember me, is when you're not happy and when you're in trouble. But when everything seems alright, you forget me in few days, just because you are busy and you have more Important things to do. Just imagine this: If the only time I give you a call is when I need money from you, how would you feel? If the only time I greet you, is when I need your help, would you continuously reply me? If when I'm happy I don't remember you, and the only time I say I love you, is w...
