Been There, Done That...except THAT!

I've seen the Seven Wonders of Nigeria and then some...

“Even if God should open the windows of heaven, could these things happen?”

~The man on whose arm the king leaned. [Killed in a stampede accident c800 B.C.]

                 

Just have a little faith.

If you go to Katsina, you’ll find ten naira bread;

If you go to Ibadan, you’ll find five naira bus rides.

All things are possible.

If you go to Lagos, you’ll find two-man churches;

If you go to Aba, you’ll find Chinese.

All things are possible.

If you go to Ilorin, you’ll find a skyscraper;

If you go to Keffi, you’ll find a fly-over.

All things are possible.

If you go to Owerri, you’ll find black yam flour amala and gbegiri soup joints;

If you go to Oko (and no, it’s not on the map), you’ll find an international school complete with expatriates.

All things are possible.

If you go to Ogbomoso, you’ll find pure American English speaking congregations;

If you go to Sagamu, you’ll find eight year old herbalists.

All things are possible.

If you go to Mbaise, you’ll find a suya spot;

If you go to Zamfara, you’ll find gold.

All things are possible.

 It therefore follows that if you go to Victoria Island, you’ll find pit latrines.*

Because, my friend, ALL things are possible... to them that believe.

Dead faith or faith failure is like cardiac arrest. And everywhere we turn, we hear flatlines. *beep* Code Blue. But then, faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. So, next time you hear heaven whisper something curious, believe it. Like me, He’s been there, done that.

And though God has not exactly eaten amala in Owerri or taken five naira bus rides in Ibadan, He knows. With Him all things are possible. And with you (to them that believe), all things are possible.

Just have a little faith. We've been moving mountains with mustard seed.

‘Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and being certain of what we do not see.’

~ Author and place of writing unknown. AD 60-70. 11:1 Hebrews

 Only the marked fact has not been sufficiently researched. Still, ‘I believed, and therefore, I spoke’.

I tried not to tag you if you worked on the Island...;)
