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.

This is the end of all imaginations and what ifs before we enter the Restricted Arena of God where our individual fate will be decided in the Hereafter. Only one door of the two will open for you: Heaven or Hell!
