EMPTY SEAT


There I was, resting on the plastic chair, the only thing I could boldly say I inherited from my late Father

Have lost count, the number of times that have rested on the hairy bony legs of my late Dad before he departed to the other side of the world when I was a little fine boy

My love for the plastic chair was not from this world

It's not a thing of shame to say, I always felt at home anytime I rest my tired body on that obsolete plastic chair

I couldn't stop myself from resting on that obsolete plastic chair, even after my dad has journeyed to the realm of the dead

In the cool evening of the day, I love resting my tired body on that obsolete inherited plastic chair and it births me the old memories that  never failed to connect me to my father

This day came to reality, the day that I can never forget even in my grave

As usual, the obsolete chair has eventually become my resting spot where I could say I burn out my stress

*It can also be called comfort zone

On the 17th of November 2013, I just came from work and I decided to worship my body for hours before I would settle for my bed for the night

A few minutes later, I fell flat into the arms of dreamland

There I saw the exact figure of me in another realm trying to walk my way to a seat laced with gold which was found empty

I was doing all I could to land my hefty figure on that seat laced with Gold but all efforts made resulted into futility

The giant figure of a man was pushed to me to fight my way back into the realm of the living

I was thrown back into reality like dice in the hands of a ludo player

*It didn't reach 2 minutes when tears began to form a forum of water parading like soldiers going for war around the sensitive spots of my eyes, it was an overflow of water gushing out from my eyes

Stopping the water became a task that couldn't be fulfilled

When I was asked, I couldn't explain the dream, it felt so real and nothing I could do, to sit on an empty seat laced with gold specially destined for me to sit, to rule and to dominate

I was found expressing tears instead of explaining the situation of things

What to do is an expression of "mumbo jumbo"

No wonder, it was stated right there in God's words, it states that " my people perish because they lack vision

There is a destined seat prepared for all to occupy and make indelible marks but it's a pity how many were fought and stopped from taking what belongs to them in the spiritual realm

If you haven't known, you need to know, spiritual controls the physical

The tussle and hustle of a man can only be honored with such if the spiritual settings have been well configured

New International Version
I have seen something else under the sun: The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all.

The battle can only be won through prayers and living a righteous life

My tears stopped or I should say it ceased to flow when those words returned

I felt the need to visit my secret place to fight the battle and lo and behold, I won and of course, I took what belongs to me

I sat on that empty seat laced with Gold, no longer empty again

There I rule, command and dominate

I have seen something else under the sun: The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all.

Time and chances happen to them all.

Be prayerful.
