3,418,000,000,000 , Trillion Power Plant Frustrated!!
Dr.Jarlath Uche Opara Jarlathuche@gmail.com
Hard work is good, smart work better. Hard and smart work without the God factor is fruitless and frustrating. I know some would possibly argue it, however, it does not remove its reality and the experience of many in this regard.
As athiest as one can be, removing the God factor in the creation of the universe and his overwhelming power in the functions of the universe and the elements therein, very incongruously laughable.
God’s nature, attributes and personality remain unchanged.
His existence and the functionality of his power are beyond human logic. He is larger than logic. Bigger than human principles and cerebral hubris. He lives beyond time and scientific postulation. In the realm where nothing moves him, where he alone is that unmoved mover he exists.
About the creation of human beings he remains at the centre. Though there are other human ancillaries, but he remains the only go to, if the existence and thriving of men should be sustained.
Think about life generally, one would be dazed by its complexity, only the existence of a being beyond the realm of human could have made it possible. God is God. Nothing exists, functions, thrives, blossoms etc outside him. It is a fact, a reality etc independent of the simulation of the limited depth of human brain, however a genius one is in trying to dispute the existence of God and his all powerful nature. He still remains God.
Standing before a large crowd, in a very soft spoken voice, he held them spell bound, narrating how his 3, 418,000,000,000, trillion naira power plant would have been scuttled by a government official but for God’s intervention.
There is God. Trust me when I say it . Life and what happens around it, isn’t a coincidence. Its orchestration can’t be explained outside the God factor. Only him remains the key that unlocks the doors locked by human wickedness, hatred and frustration. How he does it remains sometimes a mystery and incongruous to the ever shallow, doubting mind of an atheist.
He works hard, he equally works smart. He had all the money that possibly could open doors through ingratiation, influence of “man know man syndrome”. But there is something all these couldn’t do, only God could. How could one explain this? He went for the approval of his power plant construction. A Government official who should give the approval for no reason flatly said no and boasted how the initiative wouldn’t see the light of the day. He meant it and it wouldn’t have seen that light but for God’s intervention.
He prayed about it. Even when he told his Chinese bussiness partner who had invested hugely on the project about the development and what he had already done about it ( prayed to God) The Chinese partner saw him as a joker and rather preferred to see either the President or some government officials that could help. For him God should be left out of this. What money can’t get more money can. What more more can’t get much much money can. But he fails to realise the limited power and influence of money.
Eventually, he got the approval, not through money. Not through human halo effect syndrome. On a platter, by the orchestration of God .
How did God do it? The person who vowed to frustrate the power plant by refusing to grant him approval took ill. He was flown outside of the shores for treatment. Within this period of his absence, all the files on his table was moved to his superior, who looked at all the files including the billionaire’s application for approval. He was thrilled about the power plant initiative, instantly approved it, demanding quarterly report on the progress on the work. What some vowed to frustrate, God granted it the best way possible.
Chief, Dr.D. Adeleke, the father of Davido with all his money, influence, connection etc got stucked. Couldn’t move any step further in his power plant initiative until God stepped in and showed mercy.
Are you still philosophising on the existence of God? Still arguing on the power of God to change things? Still clouded with the silly thoughts of God is dead? And wouldn’t do nothing when called upon? If a billionaire, Chief. D. Adeleke could pray to God and get results where his money and influence failed, it will be foolhardy for you to still be marooned in the deceptive thoughts and imagination that God isn’t necessary in the affairs of men.
Work your work as hard and smart as you can, remove God factor in all these, doom may be the next open door for such a person. God is God, he is very indispensable, dispensing with him comes with an unforseen failure. Believe me!!
