Reasoning- Season One
Her voice echoed with an obvious startle: “come and see something mysterious.” Without a second fiddling of the chorused call we rushed in our crowd of four; soon we were standing gaped before a halved orange tree, stricken with a fatigue that expired a need to mouth something. “How did this happen?” I finally said with a stutter, for I couldn’t seem to find a better expression at the moment. “Oh my God!” my aunty yelled and annexed a “Blood of Jesus” to the creepy sight, with this abridged version of wonder, all of us finally came around as words jumped back and forth like a dire fist in a street squabble. After much debating, we summed that the weight of the fruits on the branches became too heavy for the tree to bear thus it gave way and fell to the ground; it was indeed a scene full of awe.
Before I proceed, I will love to square on this a little closely: “the fruits birthed by the tree were of great weight that the branches felt threatened; as it was lacking the strength to withstand- meaning:- the shoots and roots and branches were stillborn, therefore hadn’t the power to suspend them mid-air any longer; so the tragic fall.
The above narration is a true experience laced with a warning from God, that when one desires to do exploit for one’s creator, one desires a good thing but one must not allow one’s just cause to overwrite the actual place of growth, for maturity is equally central to our pursuit and race heavenward as such mustn’t be treated simplistically.
Heaven is very keen about the stages of growth in our life and our walk as an axiom goes “ to be much for God, you must be much with God” interpreted as “for one to be of service to God, one must truly know this God deeply, in fact one must understand Him beyond the ground of religion, one must relate with Him closely in a relationship scenery to function properly and to be used mightily, so don’t be in haste to serve that you forget or pass over having to study the job prescription and the module of operation. Many times, this amateur move has been hazardous as lots of people acting under this malnourished platform came widely shorthanded morally, with many others somersaulting into pits of total bleakness. Now the reason for this kind of phase is an overzealous flush brought about by simply catching a glimpse of a revelation and launching out emotionally instead of waiting to be further guided, instructed and commissioned by the just leading of the Holy Spirit.
Dear friends, be reminded that “emotion is an unstable sensation that fluctuates ceaselessly, hence a very frail ground and a slim conviction to wind into action with.” I pray that God will grant us the grace to wait on and for His divine positioning that is always timely and appropriate, for He knows our ability and capabilities more than we think we do.
