When I look at life, I just can’t help laughing and giving praises to the Most High!
All our thanks should go to Him!!
I can’t but remember a Yoruba story, possibly from the Odu Ifa Corpus. It says so many people prepare evil machinations against the mountain. The mountain doesn’t eat neither does it drink!
These are people for whom the mountain had been useful at one time or the other. The mountain remains loyal to them. But the story says they always end up betraying the mountain.
They even try to shift the mountain. But then, it’s a task they find impossible.
Whatever might be your worries, just know it that things can only get better.
Are you down?
Have friends betrayed you?
Do remember that he that is down needs fear no fall. Some positions are there in life where a person reaches and such positions will become the turning point. There are some people that do evil to you only for you to reap the good things of life.
Those are the people the Yoruba call, ‘Alenibare’.
The brothers who sold Joseph into slavery never knew they were doing him a good deed. Rather, they felt he was done for.
He became prime minister and his own brothers had to pay obeisance to him. His father did too. To cap it all, he saved them from hunger.
If the Redeemer had not been crucified, I very much doubt whether there would be Christianity today!
It’s not for nothing that my people say, ‘Baoku, ise o tan’. That is, there’s still a lot of hope for the living.
Please, do get going, for God, in his infinite mercies, will bless all your positive efforts!
