Anchored?

The plan of God for my life was laid 
bare to me on the 30th of September 
2007. I was in 300 level. 
One of the chronic poor students in a 
school designed to accommodate the 
children of the rich and highly influential. 
The school was officially on break 
at the time but I was on Campus as a 
fellowship leader to help lead devotion 
and hold weekly fellowship meetings 
for the students on campus.
The chaplaincy paid those of us who 
volunteered a stipend for this assignment
It was summer school
I was the only student in an 8 man room
It happened right in the
Middle of the night
What many would call “receiving the call”
I couldn’t call it that because for me it 
was more like a continuous wave of 
supernatural experiences since I gave 
my life to Christ on the 17th of September 
of the same month.
The supernatural just flowed on and on
I didn’t eat for many days and I was
 not hungry
It was as if I was cocooned or caught 
up in a glorious atmosphere of wonders 
and glory.
The joy in my heart was stupendous, I 
had changed in such a way that cannot 
be described
I would know things ahead of time, 
like I’d know the phone was about to 
ring before it rang and who was on the 
other end of the line and sometimes 
I’d also know the conversation!
My girlfriend who was in the University 
of Ibadan at the time was sleeping 
with another guy 
One of such nights, in that season
I saw myself in Awo hall, walking up 
to a particular room
She was buck naked, the room
smelled of sex, she was seated on
the bed with her legs on a chair
She was reading a book titled 
“Kummersdorf Connection” a red 
novel. 
Her “smash partner” was lying down 
with his head on her laps, fast asleep. 
I knew his full name instantly.
It was so real, like I was right in the room!
Then I came out of the vision and called
her line
She picked
I said you’re in room so and so, with 
this guy called Tunde whom you have 
been sleeping with for over 6 months.
She screamed and said “So you have 
people spying on me”
I didn’t even reply
It was so spot-on that she couldn’t 
deny it
That was the dimension I was walking 
in at the time
Most people can’t understand it! 
(So if you don’t, just shrug and read on)
My mother had been sick for a while 
at that time, most people were 
expecting the worse
She had high blood pressure, heart 
palpitations (she had been using a 
drug daily for this for many
Years) and arthritis
She was often being rushed in and 
out of the hospital
I had been very worried about her
That was one of the reason I didn’t go 
home for the summer break, I knew 
she worried a lot about me and how 
I’d pay my fees and graduate
The out of sight thing usually worked 
wonders because she wouldn’t 
see how bony I had become due to 
hunger and fasting!
I could pretend all was well on the
phone and tell her stories of my 
academic exploits
The Holy Spirit opened my eyes to 
see her that night
She was the first sight I saw, walking 
with one of her grandchildren in a park 
in the USA.
It was the future, her future!
She didn't die as feared by many
and she was not walking with a
any aid
She was happy, hale and hearty
Then the Holy Spirit said to me
I have raised you as a teacher of 
teachers in this generation
To solve deep puzzles and mysteries 
and help the feeble knee gain strength
I will cause the rivers to bend to 
you and many shall drink of me 
through you and become enlightened! 
He said so much more!
My mother traveled to the USA 
exactly a year later
All my siblings too apart from my 
younger brother
They all kept urging me to come over
“Let me file for you” said my mother 
when she became a citizen through 
a fast track system
Let me file for you said my sisters!
My oldest sister went as far as to 
get an immigration lawyer to see to it
I turned all of them down.
Things were pretty difficult at the time, 
I was earning so little and traveling 
abroad seemed like the only way to 
start over and thrive!
But I refused to stand in dispute to 
the heavenly vision
I know what I am and what I had 
been called to do
I didn’t know when and the how
I know the why
I prepared for my season of unveiling 
with great joy and expectation
Sure enough it happened at the 
right time.
When I see folks who face some 
frustration in life writing here
On Twitter that people should find 
the first bus to Niger, or Ghana, or 
Lome, or Benin, or Gambia or abroad
(anywhere but Nigeria) I laugh
How is that ever the solution to life’s 
stress?
I have friends located in countries all 
over the world!
I know the tears and the sorrows!
There is nothing like living your life to 
fulfill the purpose of God!
Many do not know the purpose of God 
for their lives, so they are tossed here 
and there by the elements of this world
Today-this job, 
tomorrow-that business, 
next tomorrow -they want to travel. 
They just try things out!
A life of trial and error
That life is not for the believer
We live a life that had been clearly spelled 
out by the Holy Spirit!
Your path and curves had been written in 
the volume of the work!
A believer is not just a number or statistics!
Your life is divine and ordained
Imagine the meticulous plan of Jesus 
for Saul of Tarsus. 
Ananias was in Damascus and the Holy 
Spirit gave him the name and address 
of Saul (How meticulous)
Paul was told clearly what his mission
was from day one and the words of
Jesus was fulfilled in his life till the
very end
Cornelius was given the location of 
Peter by the Angel.
We were placed where we are by 
the Spirit! 
Moved to do His will at all times.
Do not live your life like a sheep without 
a shepherd
Many do this and their lives end up 
broken and shattered
You belong to a flock, you have a 
shepherd, be mindful of this.
If he bids you to travel, please do 
and if he bids you stay in Nigeria, 
please do!
Don’t allow the gale and the wind of 
time and chance to take you to a 
place where you will become irrelevant 
to the plan of God for your life.
Always remember that you didn’t join 
a religion when you gave your life to 
Christ. 
You received a life that is guided daily 
from glory to glory by the Holy Spirit.
Let the Holy Spirit lead you from today, 
yield to Him in all things.
Learn from Him and please follow 
his voice!
A young prophet was once deceived 
by an older one and he lost his life for it
Don’t be lured away from your destiny 
by fear mongers!
