Pastor preach the word so we followers can listen and understand his wishes.


Commander say the word so I can go on rampage and slay theses enemies before me.


Mr lecturer say your words and impact wisdom into our dull brains….( stop looking at TITI’s breast).


Mom give your consent so I can get married to Mark……


The word is powerful so we watch your tongue that’s what we are always told, it can kill and blah blah blah……But there’s no right word i can use to describe the way Tobi feels.


A 22 year old man looking for various things in life love, success and fame. In various capacities done with school what next his parents ask him the pressure he deals with daily the first of his father retired naval officer decommissioned due to injuries attained on the course of service to his nation only able to walk from his house to his consulting office which is an extension of the main house. What next the old man asked looking at his son with great curiosity Tobi had not an answer to that question but a wise word to avoid it communal service for the next 1 year then we’ll see what happens then dad…..


Tobi took walks every night with his dog and weed in his fingers to puff his pains away since smoking it was legal. Tonight was different he walked alone without his two companions tonight was a night of sober reflections. He found a quiet place to reminisce. he flashed back to when things were good and his parents gave him blank checks to finance his living. he remembered the day that stopped when recession hit his family had he had to live on what ever he had.

Still he balled….


Friends were never his problem he had many all performed their role or so he thought then he realize how many he had lost in the past few year, as he was he could see the good times role by and the bad he could see it all like life paused right as he was the only difference is he had not the power of change. He clinched his fist so hard you would think his skin were cloth being squashed into 1 big mold.


A voice in his subconscious came what has God got to say about this will every thing work out right because right now it isn’t business is taking a hard turn heading for an impossible wave like a surfer anticipating a tsunami wave to wipe away his dreams. He has question over his friends will betrayal be the order of the day. Will they all be successful or will some fall on the waste side? Will he find love been searching for it since his penis knew how to stand up straight for itself Tobi asked himself quietly “Whats your word on this God”.


There was silence Nothing he sniffed He vented out in RAGE “nothing after I serve you I wasn’t perfect but I did even when I made an oat with you it didn’t make any difference why God ( now in a lower crying agony filled tone) why have you forsaken me……( he waled out in tears it sounded like Whale crying out to one another).


Then he felt a touch on his shoulder he looked up and saw a white glow. Was it a ghost he shivered back to realize it was the light from the lamp post illuminating his white shirt. A man in his 40 judging from his face, beards, hair line resent and mature out look yeah in his 40’s Tobi taught. He muttered can I help you cleaning the tears streaming down his cheeks, the man said ” ME! no no no lad its how can I help you” ( words spoken in pure baritone voice like an English breaded man). Tobi taught he was correcting his Nigerian undertone rough English from the streets of Lagos. but before e he could speak the man said.


Look here sunny I’ll take you on a ride of my life in 2 minutes cos i don’t have time at your age I did the same thing even cursed the man above I had lost my parent and all in a crash stuck in this country with no relative or experience I stopped every thing pertaining his service Gods I mean but it just got worse until a reverend took me back cleaned me up and showed me every thing is part of Gods plan you just have to be patient and watch it unfold ask him to show you he will in his word read it meditate on it and when it comes you’ll be ready for it. Here’s my card call me when you need any thing and he was off. Tobi looked at the card it read MR Thomas Fisher.. Tobi looked up to look at the man again but only saw a Maybach ride off into the night.. He had just talked to the richest man in the whole of the south west and he too was a churchie..


Tobi wiped his tears now full of hope realizing God always has a plan $ him even if he weeds, drinks and is uncertain about the future… Tobi went on to be successful in life with help yes but he went on due to faith that it’ll be alright if he just kept on working hard on whatever he sees as a plan from God 4 his life…


So I ask what is your word for your life ???
