IMOLE YIO TAN (The Light Will Shine)



That Light Will Shine (again)!



I remember asking certain rhetorical questions when there were no suitors coming; I'd ask myself:

'What it would feel like to get married'
'What my wedding day would look like'
'What it would feel like to get pregnant or carry a pregnancy'
(I remember, I once asked myself) 'if I would even ever be married or be pregnant or experience what it feels like to breastfeed a child'

You see, all those questions were answered, even though I asked them within myself, with no one but God to provide the answers. As a matter of fact, they were answered physically, publicly (not privately)!

I woke up this morning asking myself yet again certain questions, and God chose the time to remind me of the questions above and the time I asked them. He reminded me of how I thought I was just asking myself rhetorical questions,  when indeed there would be answers and there would be someone to answer them (HIM)! 

Then suddenly,  while still meditating this morning, I heard it subtly in Yoruba: "Imole Yo Tan", meaning 'The Light will Shine'! Hallelujah! I just knew I got my answers already! 

Friends, a state of "what ifs" is a state of total darkness. It's a state of confusion or a state of uncertainty or being unsure....unsure of what it would be like tomorrow, in future; unsure of what life holds; unsure of what path or direction to take. But guess what, THE LIGHT WILL SHINE!  The solution will come! The answer will come....it will be given publicly, for good, for joy! The light will shine and YOU WILL SEE CLEARLY,  the direction to take and the path to tow.

Yio dara (it will be well)! Imole yio tan (that light, your light will shine - Isaiah 60:1)!

Ask those questions,  you are allowed; you are human!  He will shine His light through and through them until the answers show forth!

(NKJV)Job 33:28, 30
He will redeem his soul from going down to the Pit, And his life shall see the light. [30] To bring back his soul from the Pit, That he may be enlightened with the light of life.

Psalm 18:28
Lord, You light my lamp;
my God illuminates my darkness.

Good Monday morning!

Why Did I Get Married?

Image
I really enjoy seeing African-Americans movies, and this particular film is no exception. In fact, I can’t stop watching it and I can’t wait to see ‘Why Did I Get Married too’ . Really, Tyler Perry got me hooked on this one, that after seeing it several times, I was able to sift one or more things from it and I’d like to share them here. Before I share what I learnt, let me give a synopsis of the movie…There are four couples who go on an annual one week vacation – more like a reunion. During this vacation, they reconnect, talk, pray, iron out issues and so on – but this vacation opened up secrets that they’ve all bottled up. Secrets that made them ask such question as ‘Why did I Get Married?’ I’m going to be looking at the couple one after the other… Mike & Sheila (Richard T. Jones & Jill Scott) The problem with this couple is Sheila’s stature. Sheila is on the fat side but Mike just couldn’t live with that! And so he insults her at every opportunity he...

Do I have to Stop?

Image
Life is not fair at times. Day-by-day, there’s one challenge or the other to deal with. We’ve been wounded and we have caused pains for others; had to go through pains or hurts, comfort others, and even wonder why we had to go through the pains we go through. But I ask, do we have to stop laughing?   The past few weeks have been rather eventful; there was the January fuel subsidy removal, hike in prices of items and fares, subsidy-driven industrial action or strike, non-salary payment, and so on. But do we have to stop spending?   There have been issues of boko haram, bomb blasts, accidents, kidnappings, killings, rituals and many of such; but do we have to stop being adventurous or stop travelling? Many of us have wanted some things so badly – indeed, they are things that we rightfully ought to have or own. We even give ourselves time frame, and say to ourselves that if we don’t get such things by the stipulated time, then that means life is just so unfair to u...

Things That Irritate Me

Image
I get easily irritated at times, and funny the things that irritate me could be classed as trivial - that is, minor. The truth is, once I let them out you might view me as 'duh, why should those irritate you?' but they do anyway. It just goes to show that I'm a unique being *wink wink*. Some months back I sat in a public bus on my way home, then I heard a guy, who sat behind me, make some sound with his mouth - teeth and tongue. The kind some people make when they are trying to remove a left over food or dirt from their teeth. The bad thing is, he didn't stop once, he made the sound till he alighted from the bus. Kai, I was pissed! Still in the same bus, someone was listening to a sport commentary on his phone. He put the phone on speaker and on the highest volume, as if the rest of us were interested in the boring tale. I wonder how he forgot that earphones are made for moments such as those.... How I almost shouted at him. The odd thing was that he hissed at th...
