Years back, a young Business guy I knew picked me from under the sun one hot sunny afternoon and I sat down at the front seat next to him. As we were riding, he started telling me how he has made fortunes to the extent that he can buy any car he wants without a blink. Then, my problems were far from dreaming of a car. Within me then, the thought of having a car was like an impossible dream. I felt like I was the only unfortunate person God created. I went home, wept and questioned God but He never said a word to me.
Today, the same guy has no car and business. He recently told me that he has relocated to the village with his wife. I felt so bad of it and we prayed together for restoration. As we were having that conversation, I was seated in my car and the incident of that day came back to my memory. I just looked up as if I was seeing God and thanked Him for not answering all the questions I was asking Him. If He had tried to discuss with Him, I would have accused Him of being less to who He is.
A lot of ladies have said to me, ‘If God didn’t bring him this year, I will do what I have in my mind’.
The truth is, what you have in your mind won’t solve it. Yes, the bible said, ‘There is a way that seems right unto a man but it’s end leads to destruction’.
You are not under a curse because Theresa married after secondary school and you haven’t married after university. There are many other ways you are far in miles compared to Theresa but the devil wouldn’t want you to see those peak points.
I travelled months back and visited the street I was born and raised, and what amazed me was that most kids that their parents lived in flats those days are not doing better than the ones their parents had all of them in a single room with public toilet and bathroom.
As a young man, don’t try to marry the kind of women your friends have married. Someone once said to me, ‘nothing is good than marrying a lady from a rich background’. I never answered him. He married from a very rich background. They were gifted a house and two cars after their wedding but today, his wife has sold the house and relocated to U.S with their daughter whereas he is the village with his son who later died as an undergraduate.
Someone’s fortune doesn’t have to make you unfortunate. Someone eats at Transcorp and you eat at Mama Ekene restaurant does not change your future. You can own Transcorp when your time arrives.
Pastor Chris Oyakilomeh has talked about how he used to sneak into Arch bishop Idahosa’s leaders meeting to avoid big shots from sending him away as nobody but today, he is far ahead.
It’s not always about where you are today or what situation you are into. Your own timeline is ahead and near.
Understand what God wants with your life. You were prepurposed. You were not an accident created by a sperm and inside a woman’s womb.
