GREAT TURN-AROUND STORIES – GOD AT WORK IN STYLE

After reading the Olajumoke Orisaguna’s story, I concluded that God takes care of us and settles us all, and sometimes He does that in style. The way He takes care of all of us is entirely up to Him, but He never forgets to take care of His own.

In case you missed the story, here is the summary:

A professional photographer (TY Bello) was taking shots of a musician ( Tinie Tempah), and suddenly there appeared a bread hawker in the background of the photo. People saw the image in the background as that of a supermodel, and that forced the photographer to commence a search for the lady who photo-bombed. From that singular encounter, that lady has moved from obscurity to fame – making international headlines, from rags to riches, from bread hawker to super model with all the attendant benefits and a sponsorship to continue her hair dressing classes in a professional academy (by the way, it was to complete her training that she started hawking bread), from living in a village to living in a luxury apartment free, and so on…

As I ruminated on her story over and over again, one psalm of David came to mind. Psalm 126:1-6 (KJV):

1.       When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.
2.      Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them.
3.      The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.
4.      Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south.
5.      They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
6.      He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.


When God steps in your case, His ways defies logics and reasoning. He does things giving no room for philosophical explanation. He makes sure our human brain become inadequate to explain what He has done. He shows that He is indeed almighty. As many of you that are reading this, and trusting God to come through for you in ways that defy man’s reasoning, I stand in faith with you, and declare that He will come through for you.

TRUE LIFE STORY OF A MIGRANT

TRUE LIFE STORY OF A MIGRANT My name? You can call me Ese. I am eighteen years old, from Edo state. Two months ago, a friend of my aunt came to our house and said she could help me get a job abroad, she said she knows someone there who has been helping other people. We only had to provide about Six Hundred thousand naira for my transport to the Libya. My aunt, my mum and my elder brother all gathered the money and gave me some extra for the trip. Two weeks later, we were ready for the trip.  From Edo state, we were transported to Kano, and then Katsina, and, I don’t know the names of all the places, but they said they had to follow that particular road because of Immigration and other officers that collect money from them on the road. We went through several bush paths and un-tarred road in a long lorry until we were completely in the desert. More than ninety percent of us girls were from Edo state and I think all the boys were Ibo because they were speaking more of Ibo...

I have no Issues with South Africa, just this

Image
HELLO SOUTH AFRICA I sympathize with you. I sympathize that in this age and time, your mind can be so debased and reprobate enough as to allow you descend to the level that you did recently with your xenophobic attacks on other Africans living in your country. I sympathize with you, not because you got angry, we all do, but that your anger was largely undefined. I sympathize with you that wrapped around your neck is the gloom of apartheid we all thought we supported you to overcome. I sympathize with you that you easily forgot the help that other countries render to you in your time of need, just because of a little unease and discomfort that you feel. Need I remind you the role that Nigeria as well as other African brothers played in redeeming you from the hands of your captors? I sympathize with you that you have time and time again shown that, through these attacks you are showing of what stuff you are truly made. I would have kept quiet and expect that thi...
