The Lord Has Done It Finally!
Jarlath Uche Opara
Rejoice with me, the Lord has done it finally. It was no mean feat. Beyond the manipulation of anybody, forces and covens. It was a case of that man by the pool for 38 years, so unlucky to either get help or pushed himself into the pool when stired by the Angel.
Imagine how many possible human versions of that got wasted in that race of survival. Such is life, without divine help failure is usually the song and lyrics.
The Lord has done it finally! Nothing too difficult for him. When it looks so bleak and dark. When the cloud becomes gloomy, the rays of sun receding and the drippings of rains in droplets become imminent, only God would prevent it from pouring or not getting drenched and messed up by it if it eventually rains.
He has done it finally, after years of sorrows, pains and discomfort. After moments of disappointment, shame and disgrace. Finally, the Lord did it!
Not many would understand. Not many would relate with it. Dresses and cute appearances have deceived many. Only the feet that wear the shoes know where it pinches. He has done finally!
Those eyes with lashes, bright and sharp one sees, were soaked under the duvet, tearing out of pains and frustrations. But the Lord has done it finally.
A lot happens under the duvet. A lot gets covered by cosmetics and designer’s wears. Never get deceived by what you see. Only when one gets close and hears the odour and fragrances around them would one understand. Never conclude! Conclusion may be wrong. But the Lord has done it finally, anyways!
Never wish to be anybody’ version. Never desires the swag and built of another, get better your version of self rather.
What one adores one from a distance, same image adored from a distance could be a distaste at closer range.
Full of challenges is the life of a man, but the Lord has done it finally.
This is our song! The creed of our victory. It is the lyrics that would console us, looking back at the various mountains, hills, valley, slippery spots, dungeon, hurts, hits and buffets of life, one would still shout in excitement, yes! The Lord has done it finally!
Like the infirmed man by the pool for 38 years, the Lord did it finally!
Like the blind bartimaeus the Lord did it finally.
Like t Mary Magdalene, the Lord did it finally.
Like those lepers who got into the camp of their enemy by divine orchestration and met food in abundance, the Lord did it finally.
Like Hannah, whose tears of pain and shame were her daily companion, the Lord did it finally.
Like Lazurus who died and buried for days, the Lord did it finally.
Don’t be dismayed. The challenges we pass through today in our country, as hard as they seem, our lyrics would soon be, the Lord has done it finally and in one voice of joy, happiness and jubilation would sing “Jesus Iye, say
You have done it again
Jesus Iye
In your special way
What was impossible
(Baba) You made possible
Jesus Iye”
This is and would be our testimony! My charge for you today and always . Though it looks so dark and strange, He will do it finally
