I'm constantly baffled by the
circumstances of life I've been faced with in the past months, let's just say
the year 2016 for me as been a journey through life's merry and bitter path on
my way to rediscovering self and unravelling God's plan and I must admit I shed
a couple tears and maybe frustrated at some junctions but His unending grace
and my undying zeal to succeed kept me going till this gracious moment I'm
privileged to be gracing these pages. And if it is right for me to say, then
without stuttering, I will say I've been through hell and back.
Truly, life is not a bed of
roses and though I've grown up being accustomed to this phrase but I guess I'm
only just beginning to understand the depth in the simplicity of how it sounds.
Life is deep and don't allow yourself for even a mere second to be fooled into
thinking otherwise. You're alone in this world and if you're lucky, you just
might have your parent and siblings travelling on the same coach with you
because our families are not even guaranteed to be trust worthy and dedicated
to helping us walk right in life. I mean, I've heard and personally experienced
scenarios of life whereby a so-called parent, brother or sister is the one
ranging war against the destiny of their own.
It's sad when we begin to
look deep into the affairs of life and trust me, the more you see, the less you
know. Well, I'm grateful I was blessed with a wonderful family, God bless the
woman behind my smile and to you my loving brothers and sisters and not
forgetting you too dad, you may be gone for twenty one years but you're still a
part of this team. Many at times I almost gave up in life but you kept me going
because the thought of not been able to disappoint you all coordinated the
motivation to stay on track, putting an extra soul in me. You have always been
there for me even though I mostly caused you pain at the initial stage of my
youth days when I inherited a misplaced priority from nonchalantness and wrong
associations in the university that almost ruined my life but because I am a
project that must be accomplished, no matter the change in regime, the
allocation is continued and that I'm thankful for.
Seemingly, it's no longer
news to you all my regular readers and followers that I had a pretty awful past
and sometimes I feel I may be constituting some kind of nuisance on the pages
of my writing pad when I take it upon myself to share some of these privileged
information I wouldn't trade a billion for because they are actually what defines
who I really am, but then again, taking a deeper look at it all, the only
nuisance I believe I'll be constituting is to the camps of those affected by my
testimonies and those who are obviously still feeding on milk because it takes
a certain level of spiritual understanding to swim in the depth of my words so
I ask this day that you seek wisdom because there are a lot buried in between
those lines.
It may seem to you as a
regular story but definitely not a regular interpretation. No doubt, we all
have a story to tell but I don't actually tell these stories, they tell
themselves through me, so please pay attention for it may not even be talking
to you at this particular point in time but to someone next door who you can be
a blessing to. The year 2016 has been one of the best year for me, not because
I built houses, drove expensive automobiles and took trips to the bahamas. The
truth is, I couldn't even step out of Lagos all year long but I fought and won
the biggest battles of my life and still fighting and now I can boldly look to
the mirror and be a proud reflection of myself and that for me is the
definition of a good living.
Some are driving the best
cars and living in mansions but don't even know what tomorrow holds for them.
They are lost in the moment but I rather fight now and live later. And through
this journey, I rose and fell to rise stronger and the farther I go, the more
the secrets of life given to me. And on that note, may I quickly take a second
as I advice you all never to trust anyone. The truth is, our best friends could
be our worst enemies. And as a matter of fact, they mostly are. Well, I thank
God for opening my eyes to see the true identity and intentions of people I
called friends and I just really think the dictionary should loose that word
and have it reinstated as 'FRIENEMIES'. You know, I just can't begin to phantom
the evil that men do but all the same, I give God the glory.
Looking back through the
year, what can you say are your greatest achievements? Is it the houses you
built, the cars you brought or the awards and shows you headlined? The good
people of the united states of the world, life is deep, don't be fooled if you
presently find yourself walking through wall street and switching trips in
those private jets, are you sure you got that paper right or you're one of
those desperate brothers fast tracking life so that they can ride in those
fancy trucks and fresh out Bentleys, it's only a matter of time when life comes
calling and requesting for what you owe, it's always better to wait for God,
He's the only one who truly gives wealth, the kind that last forever without
future scars and regrets.
No doubt, life is good and we
all want the good things but why start what we can't finish. I've seen
millionaires end up walking on the streets without a penny to their name and
even some end up more pathetic and run mad if they are lucky enough not to find
an early grave. A word is enough for the wise, thread softly and don't be too
impatient. Stripping a brother off his glory so that you may acquire all the
riches in life doesn't make you a 'Red Star General', it only makes you a
monster whose story is bound to end very badly. Retrace your steps now that you
still can and if you're already too deep into it, well you have a chance to
start afresh. I believe greatly in 2017 and with God, you can be free from your
past and embraced in the future. I wish you all a merry Christmas in arrears
and am very optimistic of a prosperous new year. God bless you all !
