All for Naught

A piece of your cake
I said
It’s not for a take
You said
I’ll take what I’ll take
I said

I thought your no was a joke
I’m not high on coke
I know
The consequences I foreknow
Now I’m the joke
I know

Couldn’t be the movie
Or your tittie
Made me dip in the pickle
Twas for my lust to tickle

All for what?
My life, all but naught
Here in this cage will rot
Searched from South to North
Can’t find my all that I’ve lost
For I couldn’t tame my lust

THRIVE – Omolara TJ

The trio strolled down the aisle to have a hearty-dimpy conversation.

Rose, Praise and Faith had been good friends way back since 100l the bond they disseminated was like the three fold cord, the trio were in their final year and it was their norms to stroll out and have serious life matters discussion.

“God, I truly wish school isn’t going to come to a verge soon. This spiritual bonding that we share is one great thing”. Faith appraised.

“My sisters it has been nice encountering covenant partners like you days of deep confab and prayer labours. Kaii! I only wish we can all be deployed to same state for our one year compulsory service. This encounter has been a blessing to me personally” Rose interrupted.

“We thank God for shapening us thus far, the revelations of the scripture is always another hunger for more” Sisters God has helped us.

“Days when we had just cassava flakes to consume after severe fast, God please don’t stop yet with us” Praise alerted.

They chatted deeply to how God has been transforming their individual families.

They headed to the palm fronds man made chair to have their seat that was their regular locale for deep study and prayers.

The purpose for their meeting was to seek God’s counsel concerning their Nysc deployment if God was sending them to the same territory.

Trust baba God he always spoils the plan of man that his own prevail that’s why he is our father the one that knows the best location for every child.

Smiles! They began praying abruptly with ferocious actions and demonstrations.

“Pause” God came in a still small voice.

The trio went silent it was obvious that God was intentional about speaking so early with them but through which means they allowed the holy ghost channel them to the corridor of encounters.

Faith lifted her glabella to the sky but something caught her spirit in the process it was a tree.

“Sisters! Let’s look at this tree what do we see” Faith blurted with smiles

“I see a greenish part on the tree with beautiful fruits” Rose responded looking at the tree from her angle of view.

“I see a lemon like leaves on this tree like a very light green” Praise responded now confused

“That’s it sisters on the same tree how can we have different colour of leaves this isn’t a coincidence, I sense God sending a message across to us and here is the message. When we abide continually in God he makes us thrive, flourish, greenish, nourished and well cultured”. Faith began.

Rose reached out for her journal to pen words down Faith was a gifted vessel in the interpretation of nature to kingdom disposition.

” God is saying we won’t be posted to the same state he is shooting us strategically to territories so as to make him known to everyone we contact, First things first the lemon green is an example of what our lives we look like when we didGod somewhere and expect to thrive, our thriving becomes strivings”

“Jesus! Help us to abide so that we can thrive” Praise exclaimed.

“The green leaves are those that stay, dwell and live in God while they duly trust Him for their thrivings and nourishment, Psalms 1:3 And he will be like a tree firmly planted and fed by stream of water, which yields its fruit in its season; it leaf does not wither; and in whatever he does(education, business, purpose, ministry, relationship etc) he prospers(and comes to maturity”. Faith concluded.

Rose and Praise echoed it as if it was a planned dialogue.

” This is so rich and large”.

It was a message to carry beyond service year the trio worshipped God.

Few months later they were all mobilised and God brought his word to pass as he hath spoken it.

Faith got posted to Zamfara, Praise got deployed to Enugu and Rose was deployed to Sokoto………….

The trio held onto the word of God and indeed they thrived in a strange land…Just like Isaac.

Yes you can I mean you can do even more. You can thrive more than your limitations but you need to abide in God he is the keen factor that makes men thrive. Don’t forget he raises one from the dunghill and set him amongst princes🙏

Thanks for Listening

You are loved🧡
