Introduction
The journey of humans on earth from the time of conception till death varies. Irrespective of how the journey of people on earth looks similar like identical twins yet one shall find discrepancies, differences in journeys of two people on earth.
Why this Article? This article is being written to restate what some people have known about man’s journey on earth that it is only God who can say what the end of it would be and or tell the naive people who haven’t known such that they need to know that it is only the Supreme One who can say what would become of the end of humans journey on earth.
To Understand that Only God Can Say: I want to share a story briefly of a young man who has left his island for another to further his education there. On getting to this new island he could not easily secure admission unto the university as he has thought, but he does not want to return to his island for several reasons, therefore he starts working for a woman to keep body and soul together and to raise money for himself.
While doing this he was working on his papers so that he will have a complete paper and would be legal resident of the island.
While working with the woman, there was a high school girl living in the neighborhood, the daughter of one of the business woman in the neighborhood.
The mother of this damsel asks this young man to be given her daughter home lessons.
He was happy to be doing this because it would be an additional source of income for him and he knows that through the woman he would easily get all the necessary documents that would allow for him to be resident of the island without looking over his shoulders.
The young man was able to secure his admission through the assistance of the woman and he was happy that his happened.
He continued to teach the young damsel some subjects so that she would pass her examinations in flying colors. This he gladly done for five years when he graduated out of the university.
It was when he was leaving the university that the young damsel secures admission into the university.
They have been very close over the years and it was not surprising to hear that they were in love later. Three years after their romantic relationship has been officially known to people especially the parents of the young damsel, they got married.
The young man has started his masters when they got married but he did not finish in time and his wife, his former “student” so to say will finish her PhD before him.
When the lady finishes her PhD, the young man says, life cannot be predicted, saying who could ever say that my wife would become a PhD Holder before me?
Ecc_9:11 “I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.”
The journeys of each and all of us on earth are in the hands of the Lord, therefore no one should be looked down upon for someone whom one is looking down upon today may be the person one would be looking forward to tomorrow.
Though you may be downtrodden today and have written yourself off, because of the pitiable position that you are in yet you should not write yourself off because God is the controller of all of our journeys on earth and he can make the impossible happen.
This was the case of High Priest Eli and the little boy Samuel in the bible (1 Samuel 1-2:1-10)
Your businesses may have collapsed today and you are indeed bankrupt like Job but as long as you are still breathing, God can restore all you have lost and place on a mountain that is higher than you are tomorrow as he did for Job. (Job 1-2 & 42)
Counsel:
Please do not write yourself off because of the present situation and condition you have found yourself in. though this may be extremely difficult to believe and do by some people because of many things especially when age is not on their side again, with them yet in positions of ignominy and darkness. However they need to remember that Job was a man of like passion like we all are and God turned his situation around for good, adding to his life and his end was better than his beginning thereof.
Since you are yet alive always know that God still has you in mind, he has you in his plans, he knows everything about you and would give you your mostly desired end.
To wrap it up, know that the God who knows the journeys of man on earth is saying to you that all is not over with you, he wants you to keep faith, hope and prayer life alive for he will surely come and wipe your tears away.
