Exactly 2 years ago, I was on Orientation at Dutsin-Ma. It was my Birthday and that was the first time I wrote an article on this subject. My intention was to read it out during the meditation minutes which I did not finally achieve. However, Uncle Sola saw it and said it was a beautiful piece and opted to paste it in the Family house notice board. In fellowship that night, I was opportune to lead the service, lead a few songs and also played the keyboard (My platoon also popped me a bottle of wine).
Exactly 1 year ago, Even though service was over, I was still in Katsina and was still in close rapport with NCCF (junior-senior friend). I was able to bring friends together at one restaurant like that, where we had a "Warfare thru Worship" session. Small chops and chit chats were not absent too
Today, I am another year older. It means so much to me. I an on vacation in South Africa at the moment courtesy CF,DCC and GAC. How do I mark this symbolic day once more? I will do it the way I always love to. I love to do something on this day and I trust it will become bigger and better as the year passes by. I have been able to achieve that 4 years running now....With a WORSHIP SESSION.
Today, I am gathering a few Naija friends here (abt 20 of us) and we'll declare an "AMALA" party....remember that is gold here. We will do some worship to God. After that, we will play Robert Kiyosaki's Cashflow 101 game. I will also go to d Union Building (Equivalent of Aso Rock) and take some time out there to "scabash".
Ps 90:12 says we should rather make our days count than count our days. I am a year older now. What are the landmarks of these past one year that will make it count? This is one question I try to answer annually on this date and also try to set new goals for the next year. I will let you in a little bit on the answers.
* I am moved to the threshold of my destiny in these last one year. I have crossed an important border line. Thought I am not there yet cos it is a journey, I seam to be in the mist of Giants at d moment. God kept the Giants in the promise land to keep it not to scare me away. It is fighting time now - taking possession of my possessions. As at last year, I was yet evidently in the wilderness (synonymous to my physical location then too). Now, at the threshold of Canaan...entering.
What do I see coming in the next 1 year?
I see myself, already crossed the Jordan, taking possession....dispossessing the giants there...and sowing in the Land...enjoying bountiful harvest....subduing and dominating the land. I will still be some years away from 30 years then but I see myself getting to the point in my life's journey ....where Jesus, David and Joseph of Bible times got to.
I appreciate all you who have been a part of my life so far. I will appreciate comments from you (No wait till my wake keep before you go start to dey talk am). For archive purposes.....so you can be part of my biography.
Cheers

Birthday boy, happy baf dei!!
It's a good thing to know what one is doing and to do it with the whole of one's heart and mind.
The psalmist in the psalm you refered to prayed a prayer that every young person should make a daily prayer. 'teach us to number our days aright...'
I've always known you to be visionary and bold about your convictions. I remember a day you stood on a pulpit and declared to everyone present at the gathering what God has called to be, a different kind of calling, not to man the conventional pulpit, but to man the pulpit that wil reach to the high and mighties in the business world. Each day I see you now, I see the picture unfolding by and by.
Keep at it. You are almost there. There will ofcourse be challenges and distractions. But stay focused. He that has called you is faithful, and He will perform it! No Shaking!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BRODA!
