DIARY 69 # ( Answers ) the situation I saw while in school – was getting worse by the day. I had analysed in my mind that with the rate at which dudes were coming out from school, in my own turn there will be fewer jobs, because few are the jobs created but many are the people graduating..i foresaw a congestion..that’s why my mind went off schooling and I turned to the arts, i did music, got my songs playing on the radio. But they say i cant do music.. Ok. I turned to working and being serious with my computers. .but As I try to make money from business and I get into more and more into trouble and more trouble. My new company failed, marketing flopped..and they advised me yet again to quit business.. forget about making money and live a simple life…We believe God wants to use son, work for God..I wanted to, I thought maybe that was the way God wanted it…that’s why I prayed that prayer, so angrily..let me understand all these issues..i need answers. something happened not long that showed me the way forward..i was in the field ministry… and here he was sitting on the bench, a discussion was about to happen. I talk to the man on the porch about God. And he says to me “ my brother, before you say anything, me I dey hungry” said he hadn’t eaten for like 2 days. He pleaded with me. Went on to say that he went to do bricklaying job and still wasn’t paid, but would be paid soon, but that rite now he needs even just a 100 box, not for himself but for his kids. I saw his children and It seriously showed on his and their face. His surrounding was a total mess, I just couldn’t believe humans would stay here….. And here I was dressed good telling him about God. If I say I don’t have money he’d really not believe but truth is I was hell broke that day, had 200 cash on me, last card on heaven and earth. I parted with 100 box anyway. What if Jesus Christ himself was there, would he not have done miracle, here I cannot do miracle but with my gift I could make more money for I seriously have no excuse for being broke, ive got all it takes unlike the man sitting here. Poor education and several other factors. And then not long again, I encounter another man. We were on field ministry, discussing with him. After a whole lot of talking , he asked me a question that also changed me. He said walking after me, what will you do for your country?” then I thought again, why not i try to solve problems around me a bit, why not apply this new found way of going deep to this issue. If I can help the country a bit, the people will better believe me and accept my message. Besides the issues of the country was what hit my dad long time ago and it is still persistent. I know God ‘s kingdom will come but I don’t think we can just fold our hands and do nothing and expect the people whom we talk to , to listen kindly to our message, are they going to eat the pamphlet? ... instead of making money, I turned my attention into solving problems – I start to realize what i need in life.. I just want to be happy. happiness we all chase, thats why we chase money to buy the cars, buy the houses. But can this things really make us happy? if we smile at the car, can it smile back? if we laugh, can it laugh with us? the plasma Tv, can it really make us happy..do we laugh as a result of the Tv or as a result of the people we see on Tv? why do we take care of the car more than we take care of the pepeople we see, why do we take care of our houses more than the people.. I start to change my focus in life, i started focusing on the people around me.....i stopped chasing money and started thinking of people...how can i innovate for Africa? Everyday, i remember the question asked by that man. what will you do for your country, and i take a look at the kids i teach whose fate seemed hopeless...i need to do something for them, if Jesus were here, he would have healed and cured. But i cannot do that, but i can use my wisdom, my talents to move this nation forward..i can use my gifts for this country..i would do no politics, but i would advise the Government..Solomon my brother did that, Daniel worked for the king while in exile, Joseph helped Egypt to avoid the famine...I see an economic disaster and i mite just help...because ive realized that, that is one way i can be happy. i mean how long will i keep giving out small cash to people, if you give a poor man money he will hurriedly give it back to the rich man, because he is foolish. so, i will give out wisdom. i know they will haunt me but am ready to be haunted...and i come in peace, but there will still be war. Jah is the greatest anytime anyday......and i duff my cap for him always...gracias.
