The Unleashed Truth

I’ve had reason to worry lately because I seem to look like someone everybody I meet knows.
I think I started to notice it while I was in School (secondary), when a girl in my class said I look just like her elder brother.
I simply smiled and told her that it happens sometimes.

Then some girls came to visit my uncle while I was in his place; they said I looked like their friend in Lagos. I told them I left Lagos while I was a child and only visited

A woman almost sent me to someone because she thought I was related to him.

While going for my cousin’s traditional marriage ceremony, the bus we boarded developed a fault, so we had to stop at Abia to fix it.
There was this guy at the Mechanic shop that people said I looked like.
I looked at him and actually noticed a resemblance.

And just today when I left the house, a guy asked me in Ibo
“Are you Ghana’s brother?” I guess he has a friend he calls “Ghana”
I told him I don’t have a brother.

Now this resemblance stuff is beginning to worry me because someday I may look like an armed robber or someone that has done something terrible somewhere.

I’m just myself and I don’t wanna look like anybody.
Has anyone ever had this experience or is it just I?

Far beyond the clouds of the sky
Deep beneath the ocean
In a land where fantasies become reality
The sacred place we go
when we’re asleep
The experience might be exhilarating
It may also be terrible

When we’re silently at sleep’s peace
we travel far, to another world
called DREAMLAND

The School Boy:
“Lord, I thank you for making me wake up this morning.
I thank you for my mummy and Daddy
I pray that everything will go well for me at school
Bless my family and all my friends in Jesus Name”
The Businessman:
“Father I thank you for another business day
Lord I pray that you bless my business today and that you send customers from the North, south, west and east today.
Bless my family In Jesus Name”.
The Preacher:
“Father I bless you for another beautiful day.
You said in your word that the Just shall live by faith
You also said that the fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. I come to thee Lord this morning with Appreciation.
Thank you for my Ministry and how you’ve increased I ask that you do more. help me to grow from Grace to Grace”.
The Hustler:
Baba God, I dey thank you as you make me see another morning.
“As i don wake today, abeg make you provide daily bread for me and my guys. Thank you Papa for everything”.
The Doctor:
“Lord I bless your name for another day at the hospital, thank you for the success you gave me in the last operation, I ask that you grant me the grace to help people overcome their illnesses.
I also ask that you diagnose every spiritual Illness in my Life.
Help me to prosper in my profession”.

The list is endless; we have all kinds of people doing all kinds of things that pray everyday for God’s Guidance, protection and everything they need.
But there is something similar about the prayers they all made.
They only prayed for themselves and people that are related or close to them.

It is not a crime for people to pray for themselves, but it may not be enough to pray and ask for things that will be beneficial to us only.
We need to pray for the people we don’t know the people that face difficulties in life.
People in Jail, People in the hospitals, people who suffer on the streets, people that have lost hope in Life
We need to look beyond what our eyes can see.
When last did we pray for our beloved country?
We need to pray for as many people as we can.
Someone might get a long awaited miracle because we helped in asking God to grant the person’s heart’s desires.
Let us pray and pray well.
