"Shade....what's happening to the moving train? Bukola asked as they were going home from church
" What moving train? I don't understand you" Shade said
"Shade! I mean you and you....Don't you know, you are like a moving train but all of a sudden, you just got knocked out. Probably, the loads in your vehicle are too much for the train and that's was why it stopped and refused to move again" Bukola said
"This is one thing, I don't like about you. You like speaking in parable's. Can't you just be straight forward for once" Shade said as she was a little bit annoyed
"Oooh...I am sorry, what I meant was that. What's happening to you, I saw the way you were behaving in church today" Bukola said as shade stop walking and said "What do you mean by what's happening to me?
"I mean, I can remember early this year, you were among those who raised their voices and lips to say "Jesus, I want to love you more and I want to burn more for you but now, things are different. What happened? Because then, I could feel the zeal and passion from your words and action" Bukola said
"You see ehn....ehn...but it's not like I am not zealous again. Can't you see we are just coming from church and I don't miss service" Shade said
"You and I, know that's not what I am talking about. I mean your train has been knocked out and it's not moving again. I see it, from the way you do things in church nowadays. Though, you attend church services but a lot of things has changed. It's like your mind is filled with lot of things and extra baggage which has knocked down your zeal. You were yawning and checking the time, suspiciously during the prayer meeting and lot's more, I can continue with. What's going on? Bukola asked as shade looked down.
What's going on?...
We have a lot of moving train(Hungry soul) before but now, they have being knocked down because the engine(Mind) is faulty
Sisters,
Why do you try to solve that which only God can solve. Bible says in ( Matthew 11:28) cast your burdens on me and I will give you rest.
A lot of people are full of burdens which has knocked them off the way and they refused to lay it to the repairer (God)
Don't try to be the repairer of burdens, it will only knock you down and put you in a confused and frustrated train. Instead of a peaceful and conducted train. I know we all have things to settle, why don't you lay it down to God. Don't let worrisome shift you from your passion and zeal for God. Don't let your burden begin to create ways to doubt God and his words.
Days ago, I was worried about getting to my destination because, I had something's to clear there. At a point, I was losing my hope and I almost forgot God could make a way. I was worried and burdensome when I got a call from my mentor and he said some words that actually calmed me and I had to pray to God to forgive me. So also, I stopped picking calls from those that I know will remind me of how important the things I want to over there.
All I did, was to pray, trust and cast my burden on Him. I totally took the matter, off my mind and gave it to God to have His way. Guess what, I could not meet up that same day but God created a way for me the next day and I was able to do what I ought to do. I remembered what the bible says in 2 Corinthians 5:7
So my dear sisters,
Don't carry the pressure/burden alone. It can be frustrated and also give way to doubt God and not even remember Him again.
Give God the engine (Your totality, mind) and let Him repair everything's that is taking His place in you.
God bless you!!!
