CAPSULES BY FUNKE BABS-KUFEJI
Interesting world, interesting people, a time to unlearn all that we have learnt thus far, the times are so creepy that we truly have to become God dependent if we do not want to crash.
Playing around my mind today is this “arm of flesh thing” truth be told failure is a padi to anything and everything that does not keep God in the loop. Many are deliberate about their friendships with the view that they will one day need to draw down to step up, but do not be deceived your step up can only come from a place of faith, faith in the Master.
We build muscles trusting in its ability to protect us if needed but our abilities and that of others without the God factor will ultimately take us to a dead end. I often applaud the human spirit and it’s resilience through the trauma of existence, life is tough and only the determined will achieve their goals. There are too many hearts weeping with stoic faces, the pain of living continues to tear at the fabric of the soul. Why is it so difficult to walk an extra mile with someone who needs to lean on us though, but I then remember that song of Peter Tosh that says “I am not in this world to live up to your expectations and you’re not here to live up to mine” and the selfish nature of man becomes apparent....The aha moment comes when we realise that the only connection needed is the divine one, when we thump our chests claiming friends in high places we should be mindful of the fact that only God is worthy of that confidence, as it is he who puts our burdens in the hearts of others.
The mistake we make is thinking our network will get us to where we need to be but that network becomes active only if Eledumare is involved, if you seek his face, you’ll find it and you will be sorted. No human being can help you unless heaven instructed I dare reiterate.
Many dine with kings and drink with princes but alas when push comes to shove they find themselves standing alone when the storm comes and it kills their spirits. You cannot make gods of human beings and expect to stand, as Only El Shaddai God is worthy of worship. We cannot expect divinity in our circumstances without invitation, we need to understand that the days are not playing and focus or refocus as the case may be.
Look into your trajectory and you will realise that not only will the arm of flesh fail you but it will also publicise your F9 while muscling you out, it is a hard life lesson no doubt but one that everyone needs to learn. The greatest partnership, the greatest friendship, the greatest relationship you will have on this side of eternity and beyond is with Jehovah, you must make him your best friend. We need to stop this “who you know” nonsense, and connect with the Trinity to give you a life manual and direct your hustle.....truth be told people may genuinely want to assist but they are limited by the drawings of flesh, you expect, they deflect, you reflect and you fall apart because your expectations are dashed, they stop picking your calls or responding to you and you hurt within biting your fingers and sighing at every turn, listen mate, grow up, and man up, dress the slaps of life with your favourite beauty mask and watch as you glow.
Many need to go back to the drawing board and draw a life plan which plugs their bucket list with the Master’s purpose. To stay sane today you have to stay close to Jehovah, to paddle on you have to ensure the current that moves you is connected to your life director and feeds into his direction for you so that your sail does not become turbulent. This is not about wealth or poverty, it is believing someone who is strategically placed can help solve your peculiar life worries, walahi, they can’t.....The arm of flesh may not plan to “flesh you” but oftentimes when the Potter wants to mould the clay, he stops all external influences from competing for his glory.
Stay focused pilgrim, the good book says that crying may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning, I was young now I am old, I have never seen the righteous forsaken nor her children beg for bread, trusting God is taking that next step without a visible floor to step on.....step on my lovely, step on, as God has got you, trust him and he will bring destiny helpers your way, but he must be your go to person and he in turn will raise people, it may be random people or those you would have gone to in the first place. From the the rising of the sun until sunset you need to build your life around the only one who does not disappoint and you will stand strong. Make God your network and you will have an enviable networth.
