A SNAKE IN THE HOSTEL Things are sometimes NOT the way we see them. Be careful to jump to a conclusion on something you are not so sure of. You may discover that your sense of judgement has been be clouded on that matter. Which leads me to this incident that happened many years ago at one of our youth camps. The YC had just We had just rendered the song if I believe. An excerpt of the song says .. And so I say to the mountain MOVE!!! And so I say to the mountain GET OUT OF MY WAY If I believe... We all basked in the euphoria of that ministration and retired to the YC hostel for a good night rest. Then something happened There was a shout in the sisters hostel. Snake in the hostel. Evacuate! Call Bro. Albert! Call Bro. Albert! Snake! Snake in the hostel. This brought about lots of commotion as the sisters all ran out for safety. Come to think of it. These people just sang a wonderful song on faith a few hours ago. Yet my wonderful choristers couldnt face ONE single snake. And they were calling my name as if I was a snake charmer!!! Snake? What snake? I hate snakes! The last thing I ever wanted to do was to face a snake at the dead of the night! There are a lot of things I was mentored for on leadership... Not the area of killing snakes. Well, I did what a sensible leader would do in that regards... delegated Johnson, Kuti and Geoffrey to handle the case and give me situation reports afterwards. In a commando- like wherever He leads I go style, they swung into action and sent the sisters out in search of the big, long, black snake. I was at the other side monitoring the proceedings (Dont blame me. As I said before, I hate snakes!) Then they came out with this long, black thing... A belt! There was no snake. Just a long belt that a sister saw hanging on top of a ceiling and being tossed to and fro by the breeze from the ceiling fan. The three leaders I sent on the rescue mission looked so dissapointed. To think that they made the bragadosio efforts all in the bid to smoke out a long black belt! I came out eventually from where I was monitoring things to chide the sisters for being so much of little faith Everyone laughed it off. But I guess some sisters were still afraid to sleep in the hostel that night because their fright mode had been activated. So you see, some things may not appear as you envisage after all. Be sure of what you are seeing before jumping into conclusion or else you end up mistaking a big long belt for a snake!!!
