MY INDEFATIGABLE DEFENDER!

Light off, feet stumbled, and what else?...

All I could explain was staggering, panting, and sweating profusely right there in the dark pit…

The beast roared like a lion and I was trembling right there in the dark pit...

Where to turn was the music I found arduous to assimilate its lyrics

The end has come was the statement I silently muttered to myself…

Beaten, trampled, and severely injured like a notorious criminal; the one explained in the scripture

I knew it, I was gradually losing my breath and calamity was already building an indelible temple on my innocent body — very far from serenity

Ocean of tears was pulling their ferocious stunts on my eyes...

I knew an end has come and it was crystal clear to me that, that was the only chance for me to say my last prayer...

As usual, the beast gave another scary roar to my ears and that roar got my feet shaking...

The Lord is shepherd I shall not want was the verse I couldn't recite— my heart was gripped with fear!

I failed too, to recite a scriptural verse, that expresses— “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil and practically, I was already trembling in fear at the emergence of the scary beast

They had my hands captured, my breath paused & feet closely hung to the sacrificial pillar, maybe at the count of 3, my heart would be ripped off my chest & squashed into uncountable pieces

We all have fears; some may call theirs “Fear of the Unknown” and others may ascribe different names to theirs hinging on to their experiential knowledge

“The true potency of a man is tested in the storm, not in the snow”

“The true worth of a man is made visible in trouble, not in a bubble”

2020 was by far a year that busted out my color as a man by shooting me a set of sporadic punches

I was taking so many punches all over simultaneously...

God was truly faithful, I couldn't have earned it and obviously, I didn't deserve it

I admit this — I was rejected but not broken, walked through the raw fire but not burnt

Yeah, I did make mistake, even nearly lost it but God took control

At a point, it was a hellish purgatory for me —the stuff I was made of was provoked to bounce into action...

All glory to God, If I wasn't grounded and loaded inside, I might have ended telling my story in the grave or probably agreed to be smoking with the devil

A man's growth is truly limited to what he knows and sincerely I learn better and I am still learning

Doxology means the passion to turn everything into worship— A short lesson I took home from a book painstakingly put together by J. I packer(Puritan view of God)

What a year! At a point, I was worshipping God in tears; oh yeah, I also remember worshipping him in my nakedness.

My understanding about God got widened— each time I feel like complaining, God has been helping me to convert my pain and complaints into worship

Yeah, my tongue was taken over by my God even in my devastating state of mind...

I was growing, I felt it and of course, God graduated me from the realm of ordinary to the realm of extraordinary

He became all that matters and miracles began to flow supersonically

I had a top-notch moment with God and my eyes were taken by him for visions

It was a bumpy journey filled with so many hurdles

The mastery of the storm— I learn how to be comically sledding in the storm not fear like a mighty gladiator

Of course, I am still learning, growing, and still receiving corrections

“A child who is not being corrected by his father is undoubtedly heading towards the path of destruction”

As far as I'm concerned, many are being tossed by the captivating dictates of the world...

No values inside that could combat with what is flowing outside— you'll agree with me that, it is hard to say no when you are not even informed

The truth is hard but it's good for the body and soul while the lies have no other mission than to destroy, not definitely but one day

Our world is what it is today because people detest the truth with passion and love the lies with a passion...

To read becomes an impossible mission for them...

As far as life is, there are modalities and moderation in all that we do but what do we have now? Out of place

By extension, you can't know the truth, if you do not want to know

“One of the greatest lacunae in life is to die without knowing what could have liberated you”

Many are the prisoners of their lives because they refuse to learn

“You can't learn in rigidity, learning is made easy in flexibility”

“Knowledge earned is a leading map to the path of destiny”

“When you don't read or rightly informed, you don't grow and if at all you think you are growing, you are undoubtedly growing in error”

“Knowledge is a product that is priceless to buy, it takes determination and humility to purchase it”

“The world has nothing to offer you because it is already polluted by twisted tongues — you can only know what is right when you search for it”

“Your wealth has an expiry date, the moment you stop learning”

“You can't grow wide if you refuse to go wide”

“If you hate the truth because it is hard, you will be one day be ignorantly truncated by the lies you love”

“The lift to your gleaming future is not just by working or praying, it is by knowing”
