THE PIRATE EXPERIENCE

THE PIRATE EXPERIENCE
Experience they say is the best teacher. There are disgusting experiences. There are experiences called the fiery test tube. There are unpleasant experiences. There are experience a man faces that shakes his faith. There are experiences that bring out the good, bad and ugly. Eleanor Roosevelt wrote “The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience”. Also, Ralph Waldo Emeron wrote “All I have seen teaches me to trust the creator for all I have not seen”. Everyone will surely face one experience or the other; but trusting in GOD makes one come out strong and victorious in any experience he/she face. Job faced his own experience, but he was steadfast and believed in the Redeemer. He said in Job 23 vs. 8-12: Look, I go forward, but He is not there, And backward, but I cannot perceive Him; When He works on the left hand, I cannot behold him, when He turns to the right hand, I cannot see him. But He knows the way I take; when He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold. My foot has held fast to his steps; I have kept his way and not turned aside. I have not departed from the commandment of his lips; I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my necessary food. He was tested and he came forth as gold, because his foots follow the steps of GOD. He came forth as gold in his experience because he didn’t turn aside. Many turn away from GOD when they are faced by unpleasant experience. He came forth as gold because he didn’t depart from GOD’s commandment and treasure GOD’s words than his food.
          That fateful morning, I believed in the Redeemer that keeps Israel and neither sleeps nor slumbers and told him to see me through my trip from the island where I was to the upland. It’s almost an hour plus voyage on the sea. However, before my trip there have been news about pirates raiding the sea and dispossessing people of their goods and belongings. But I was rest assured of what the Psalmist wrote in Psalm 23 vs. 4: Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for you are with me; Your rod and your staff, they comfort me. On our voyage, about thirty minute the boat driver suddenly changed our course and said the pirate’s boat is approaching; then he started heading back towards the jetty where we came from; people on the boat were in disarray. I was like what is happening, but I believed in GOD.  Some were clamoring and shouting that the boat driver should run faster, some were calling the name of JESUS because we saw the said pirate’s boat following our boat. Suddenly, our boat engine stopped amidst the sea and the said pirate’s boat met our boat. At that point people in the boat hiding their valuables; fortunately for us the said pirate’s boat wasn’t that of a pirate; it was a passenger’s boat just like ours. Everybody’s mind was brought back to rest again and our course was changed back again. What an Experience! No matter the experience you find yourself trust GOD and He will never fail you; provided you treasure his words, obey his commandments, follow and walk in his steps.

OUR DAYS.

OUR DAYS Greetings to all reading on this platform worldwide. I write on this topic OUR DAYS even as   my twin sister and I are a year older today. Glory be to GOD for a new year and a new day. A song says great is thy faithfulness, Oh LORD my father, morning by morning new mercies we see, all we have needed his hands have provided, Great is thy faithfulness. Truly great is his faithfulness toward all men. Many are not convinced of these, many don’t see something special in GOD’s faithfulness towards them. David said “Then I lay down and slept in peace and woke up safely, for the LORD was watching over me. He GOD never sleeps nor slumber over us, we just find out we sleep and before you know it, you open your eye to a new day. This is the LORD’s doing and it should be marvelous in our sights. We are to see reasons to always appreciate and thank GOD for his goodness, mercies and faithfulness. That you are alive shows He is faithful. The gift of life which is the greatest of...

FAITHFUL WHO HAD PROMISED.

FAITHFUL WHO HAD PROMISED To be faithful is to be reliable, worthy of trust and consistent with reality. A faithful man pledges and might later be unfaithful. For instance, couples make vows at the altar during their wedding, but these vows don’t stop the man or woman from breaking promises and vow. A married man finds himself cheating outside marriage despite all vows made during his wedding, because he is not faithful. You find cheating outside marriage is a common thing now, which shouldn’t be. Husbands drink from your own well, stick to her and figure out things by praying together. Wives drink from your own well, stick to him no matter what he has done. A man is not the faithful who had promised, because men fails and break their promise. Only GOD is the faithful who had promised. The bible said cursed be he that put his trust in the arm of flesh. The arm of flesh will surely fail. You been promised something by your uncle or aunt doesn’t guarantee you will be given the th...
