THE LAW OF AVERAGES
(Deuteronomy 8:1-18)

The more you try the more the chances.

With this mindset,
He moved

Like a worthy general of God, spreading the gospel.

Kicked, insulted,
He kept at it.

The world saw a man without a home.

The saints on high saw him as the man with the biggest mansion and crowns.

With this mindset,
She prayed.

Like a virtuous woman hoping for God's touch of her husband.

Assaulted by his drunken rages,
Condemned to daily dose of worry.

Yet she kept at it.

The world saw a foolish and hopeless believer.

The saints on high saw a woman at the cusp of long lasting victory.

With this mindset,
He read.

Like a diligent student hoping to excel in the department without cutting corners.

He gave the monies to the church,
Invoking the Almighty to bear witness to his faith

Daring the wrath of the tough lecturer.

The world saw another fanatic whose failure would be phenomenal.

Heaven saw a man already basking in the euphoria of being the Best the school had ever produced.

With this mindset,
She persisted.

A faithful child, fully trusting in God's grace to provide her school fees.

'People dey do am' people around her said
Trying to goad her into sleeping around for money.

'We sef be Christian' they said
Using religion to veil the presence of Karma.

Despite all,
She clung on.

The world saw a dulling girl consigned to the realm of poverty and dismissal

Heavens saw her rich uncle in a distant having sleepless nights while getting the money to send to her.

Beloved Though tears may tarry, or the taste of bitterness lingers, hope is on the way. Never give up and never give in.
