MY TERRITORY!
My Territory!
When
I was born into this world of pain, God allotted me my space, my territory.
This act of grace made me one of the features in this arena of life complete
with eight billion souls.
Crawling all the way as a baby gave
me hope that my feet would enable me to stand tall like everyone else and
discover my horizon.
Throughout
my life, teachers have prepared me for the future.
It will take my effortless stride
and nobody else to reach the end of my rainbow!
Territory
typically includes land, assets, and resources.
Decades later, after all the futile
attempts to measure myself using the scale of man: I found myself face to face
with reality!
Hello
mortal man! Life called me one fine day. Your territory is nothing more than
the length of your shadows.
In this arena of life, God has
surrounded you with the reflections of self all round. Using your reflections
like a compass will always lead you to your destiny.
How
wonderful God has made it easy for us to walk around complete within the radius
of your own shadows, or territory?
My territory is my dream. I carry it
everywhere I go. The complete 360-degree circumference confirmed my
orientation. Looking down upon my
reflections is my strength.
I
am the commander of my life; I follow and copy no man. Hello. I live and walk inside my own shadows. My shadow is my entire world.
When I find myself within a crowded
place, littered with people from all walks of life: I am not overwhelmed or
confused by all the noises coming from all directions; I remain in my territory
and keep pressing on!
My
territory is my place in the sun, gifted to me by the Almighty God. No matter
what happens down here below, my skies are forever looking down on me.
How amazing God is; that even when
pressed by thousands of people from all sides in a crowded arena; my shadow can
never be stolen by no one? Most individuals are frightened by large crowds and
so they go for higher ground to avoid being trampled to death.
Sometimes,
I find myself walking into other people’s arenas, I may be impressed by their
beautiful surrounds and even complement them for this: but am never intimidated
by their opulence.
My territory helps me not to forget
my name and worth which give rise to my pride in being. I am what I am. There
is nothing in this world which can change or caricature my image into something
I am not inside. What you see is what there is all to see!
Life
is a gift from God Above and the only one chance everyone of us got at
conception. I couldn’t wish to be somebody else I was not at birth. This is me,
myself and I in full cry for my place in the sun: my birthright and destiny to
reach the end of my rainbow.
My territory. Naked I was born into
this world and naked shall I leave; said old Job, one of the most affluent
billionaires of his times. How many billionaires in this world today can claim
the words of Job and make them their own? None!
It
takes the fear of God in the heart of a man to discover the size of his
territory despite all the riches surrounding him throughout his entire life.
Hello. We take nothing to the grave except our territory, our shadows!
The grave is the ultimate destiny,
the end of all great dreams and fantasies which used to give us sleepless
nights, on this side of Heaven.
