ARROW OF GOD
AKARA AKA!, DESTINY: THAT WHICH CANNOT BE DENIED!
Destiny like Breathe is not in the hands of Men!

Why Do You Believe That God Is Capable Of Giving You Breathe But Not "His Dreams" For You?
In the parts of the Bible that I recognize as whole truth, Jesus says, may "thy Kingdom come, (that) your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven".
In all the heavens, a natural order of impossibilities is sustained by an unseen hand. Suns that hang in a vacuum, projecting a vicious protection to this earth, with enough energy to cinder and toast every living thing in it, yet with an invisible calculator it perfectly measures our needs, acting like a celestial radiator, to manage our needs, as a father to a son.
Our people call it "Anya Anwu" , the great eye of the Gods, the light that chases away darkness. It is a source of hope, a basis for Calendars, date and time and an ever present reminder of human limitations and the grandiose nature of existence.
Yet, it is Only one of the many marvels of the Universe, that when comprehended with Conscious calculus, shows the Infinitesimal nature of man and in equal Contradiction, our tremendous significance, defined by how much effort the worlds make, each Millisecond, to keep us alive.
The "world", is our world's most incredible piece of technology. Winds and Breeze, Sun light and The Moon at night, Fire and Rain, an absurd collection of alternating currents and impossible balances, that exist for our sake, or at least in minor consideration of our existence, yet you think, that presidents, decide, your "fate" - AS WHAT?
MADE
The Arrow of God, believe in the story of Creation, not, a "specific" story of creation, but the general notion, that at some point in the eternal story of time, God sat down and penned down an idea in God's mind, and evoking unimaginable power, conjured up our ancestors and the world that sustained them.
THE sIMPLE IMPLICATION, IS THAT OUR EXISTENCE IS A CONSCIOUS EFFORT AND NOT AN ACCIDENT OR A BIG BANG, AS DEFINED BY SCIENTISTS WHO CANNOT EXPLAIN THE MINOR WINDS OF YESTERDAY'S STORMS BUT ARE CONFIDENT THAT THEY KNOW, HOW THE WORLD STARTED.
Religious Scholars and Scientific Story tellers, in a bid to sound complete, continue to conjure up dramatic imaginations of how we came to be, that are more fitting for Nollywood movies than for the understanding of that which surpasses understanding.
All across history, and in almost all religions and ancient Philosophies, there is genuine Consensus on the idea of man being an invention and not a spark of accidental miracle. And we are in every bit of our design a miracle, however, we are a minor miracle, when put side by side with the world in which we live, all aspects of which are non-negligible to our existence.
In essence and by clear evidence, it seems that we were either adapted for the world around us, or the world around us was adopted to us.
The Arrow of God, believe it to be more so, that we are part of the world and the world, is part of us, and neither can do without the other, as together - we are order.
Therefore, whatever your role in creation, it cannot be tampered with, by anyone or anything, in creation - But you. And even them, what must be, must be, just without you.
AND GOD SAID
can you name a piece of the world, that the world can do without?
Is it rain or water, Winds or Air, Sunlight or Nightshade, Fire or Cold?, why then will the will of God, in your life be any different, such as to be OPTIONAL?
Across Africa, we believe in DESTINY, my people call it Akara Aka. It can be deduced in my language (igbo), to mean "that which is settled", or "That which has been Agreed" or "That which has been Etched", in all three translations and their combination in whole, the Arrows of God Agree.
DESTINY, in our view, is a "set" course of events that has been accepted or willed by God. and much like all of creation is said to have been created, just because "God said it", your destiny is so etched in the reality of the world, that it is easier to imagine the winds ceasing and the sun falling out of the sky than to accept that "ANYTHING" or "ANYONE" can challenge your destiny successfully, because like the wind and the Sun, your destiny is the will of God.
If your visions are from God? Why are you negotiating them, with men?
WHAT DESTINY IS NOT
many people, ask me - What is Destiny?
EVERYTHING.
as such it is easier to explain what destiny is not, than to start to list what Destiny is.
For example, the Arrows of God believe, that your name, Birthday, Height, Hair Colour, Home Address, Thoughts this second, as you read this, are parts of destiny. This alone shows how offcourse most of us are. To start with your father named you just so that your mother will let him rest, your current height is a result of malnutrition, Your hair colour has adjusted to dyes, You live in something that can be descibed in many words, but not as a home and your 1st thoughts are that what I am saying is too impossible, too impossible - not Merely impossible.
Most of us have been living out of nature for so long, that we are no longer close enough to creation to sense our purpose and so 99% of our lives are of our own constitution, having nothing to do with God or our natural design, and so the things of God, now seem strange. We are like "Bottled" Wind. In its case and prison, it fails to have currents and seems lost "in translation", but let it out in a storm and it will remember, its true nature.
If you pay attention to the contents of this article, and take heed to its truths, you will unbottle your grand design and life will never be the same.
What Destiny is, is EVERYTHING, and therefore to understand it, I will tell you of the simpler thing - what destiny is not.
NOTHING!
The absence of destiny, is nothing. Nothing. And most of us are living a nothing life.
The amount of Kids you are to have, the wife or wives, husband or baby daddies are all already coded into your loins and wombs at birth. In the journey through life you can change this by accepting abortions or an inordinate volume of ALIEN seeds. The net results will be lack of the children apportioned to you, or an increase in Alien participants to your story, in either case - nOTHING.
a Child that is not yours will not add joy, no matter its success. A child that is yours will bless your existence, no matter its deficiencies. It is etched.
The place you will be born, is already etched in time. What matters most is the place and time in this space of existence, not the quality of the bed, manger or not, Bethlehem and for a reason.
Those who play with kids, on trips and Visa's to reassign citizenship, play with the course of all of existence and are resisted by the force of all of existence. I do not really know the consequence for the kids that are forced to be born out of their place, in time, however, I know that by design the world has corrective measures in place to restore equilibrium and so over time, each one of us is given the opportunities to remedy the many incredible failures of our parents most loving intentions.
A Home that is not yours, will not have a place for you, no matter your contributions. A home that is yours, will bless you with memories and a perfect adaptation, even when ih houses the harshest environments. It is Etched
Destiny, is not importation, that is a trade designed by men, it is not engineering, that is field, adapted by men, it is not dating the "baddest" one, that is a choice taken by men. This does not mean that importations, as a trade cannot be in your destiny, or that Engineering solutions to human pains cannot be your field of work or that the "Baddest" one, is in anyway reserved for someone else. It is however, meaningless to do any of these things if they are not part of "your" story, because then you will live with the most beautiful woman and still hunger for stray cats, you will invent magnificent works and still desire to fish on the open sea in plain white underpants, you will import warehouses and national stocks and yet cannot be proud of yourself, a vacuum existing in all your work because non of it was yours - NOTHING.
Anything that you do, other than what it is you are supposed to do, is nothing. Anything, other than the course etched for you, is nothing. Wise as you are, you can fight to build what you believe is a beautiful life, but in the end, your wisdom will fail you because it is too small, when placed side by side with the minor, distracted will, in a pass time, while playing with the universe - OF YOUR MAKER.
YOUR WILL BE DONE ON EARTH
Somehow and for reasons I do not yet understand, God allowed man free will and man has been playing with himself and loosing his hair in the process.
Like a stubborn and unintelligent child, the human being has failed to take directive from the internal regulatory mechanisms designed to guide him, in an alignment with the will of God for his life and for all creation and has rather commenced to hammer at the will of his God. In the end are shattered jewels, that were his inheritance and a life that is now in shambles - where in Hindsight he can see that virtually all the things that he rejected because he thought they were the Selfish requests of his father, were Indeed a studied presentation of best course that if taken would have resulted in a glorious life for himself.
The ruins that most of our lives have become, is as a result of our "thinking" that our will for life, is in anyway sound in comparison to the will of he who holds the heavens, above "ALL" the earth.
On all sides, we are Surrounded by the magnificent glory of Intergalactic excellence, that is made possible, Because the heavens listen to God, yet in childlike arrogance we combat design and fail to yield our will to the "PERFECT" will of God, resulting in storms that should not have been there and calm winds when we need the lift of a heavy blow.
DESTINY CANNOT BE DENIED
When you recognize the order of things and the supremacy of the maker of the Universe, you can then more easily deduce, the ridiculous nature of the insinuation that God's will lives at the mercy of greedy old men.
I agree with Kanye West "Slavery was a choice".
We are born of Ancestors who have suffered the worn end of the human shoe for the last 500 years and may contend that God is complicit in our suffering or inactive or incapable of our redemption.
All three assumptions are an insult to the power of the almighty.
When the White Colonists came to Africa, they didn't conquer us because we were weaker, or our God weaker. They conquered us, because through guile and violent tricks they were able to take our FAITH and replace our communion with the Gods that sustained our independence from all men with self seeking and consumerist "Religion" and an Eden like Apple of "Seeming Liberation" from the restrictions of our perfected orders of society. And over 500 years, they have hidden God from us, even in the midst of fervent religion.
We ATTEND churches and Mosques but we no longer have the FINITE (finished, Firm, Resolved), faith in the absolute Monarchy of God, that we used to.
Destiny cannot be denied, but man can be blinded to his potential and in so doing, bottled like the wind from a storm, loosing all electricity and sitting idle until such a time as an incident like this article, breaks the bottle - Break the bottle, life is not designed to be ruled by "ANYTHING" other than God.
The slave remained a slave, first, because he was in many instances already a slave of some sort, in Africa, before he was sold and was already conditioned to docile servitude. the only distinct difference of the White version of slavery he now experienced, being its generational nature and adept cruelty to man that surpassed their treatment of animals and even pests.
The slave however, only remained a slave by choice.
I can understand, if I loose readers to this statement, but I cannot tell lies to accommodate fickle wishfulness or in vexatious tolerance of cancel culture.
Slavery was a Choice, and your present conditions, (all of the ones that violate Gods design for your life), are a choice.
Barren - Choice, Poor - Choice, Aimless - Choice, Addictions - Choice and all it will take to remedy any of those conditions whose "TIME" has not run out, is - CHOICE.
CHOOSE GOD
God and God's will is the right choice.
It is the only choice.
It is the choice between EVERYTHING or NOTHING.
Why are you confused?
What happens, when you choose God? The bottle is broken, the Universe is activated and the world begins to spin for you.
The Arrow of God, understands that life is "Elemental", it is charged and enabled and activated by your Own network connection to the radio signals of the Universe. When you are intune with God, through direct communion, you are aligned with programming and your life will playout like the perfect script that it is.
Like the heavens, a life with God will have storms and season, but like the Sun, the entire journey is a perfectly measured experience that will leave you awed and will radiate the world with the glow of the shine that only your light can bring.
Regardless of the games of failed politicians, or the conquest of empires or the errors of judgment by parents or the unbelief of partners, if you start to "SEE" God, you will begin to draw the powers of the heaven onto your world, resulting in chains of events that make the impossible the Simple Legend of a Man who dared to try.
