ARROW OF GOD
CHANCE AND COINCIDENCE
Accidents Of Fate Are A More Effective Way To Achieve A Perfect Life Than Any Amount Of Planning.
Wed.April.3rd.2024 - Ubochi Nkwo
The Arrow of God, prepares for opportunities and is always ready to "Receive".
At the heart of a life in God, is dutiful submission to God's will and the acceptance of a simple yet forgotten fact - "God, holds the world".
There is a wide misconception that God owes you a life in which you do not fall down. When you serve God with all of you, what God ensures is that you land on your feet. It is not an eradication of evil but the ability to surmount it. It isn't a lack of battles and even losses in battle but victory in the war.
In "original" African societies, our communion with Gods and Nature has a strong focus on destiny as the foundational point of all prayers, regardless of the circumstances or situations in which one finds himself. This is a recognition of the definite nature of life. It is also in Counterbalance an admission that "all Streams flow to the River", that is to say that regardless of the course one takes, all roads and events of life, lead to destiny. In essence life is a fated event and all incidents, coincidences and accidents of life are sequential corrections that are designed to align us to our primary destination, and as a mandatory end.
Consider them like physical ailments which trigger a need to correct diet and dial in excesses like over working. Consider them companions that show up at points of need to prode, support or protect, enabling you to move through life, flowing Through its challenges on sails of occurrences that make life a magical story that only God can write.
CHANCE AND COINCIDENCE
It Takes An Unbeliever To Believe That Anything That Happens In Our Lives Is By Chance. Luck, Chance, Coincidence, Non Of These Exist To The "Arrrow Of God". When You Live Your Life Pointed In The Direction Of The Divine, No Events Of Your Life Should Be Accepted As Chance.
When The Coin Toss Or The Dice Roll, Gives You A 1, Make The Best Move That 1 Can Make And Reframe From Cursing God That You Did Not Get A 6. A Perfectly Placed 1, Will Always Be A Better Move Than Is Misplaced 6.
This Is Hardest To Expect, When Chance Is An Accident That Takes Your Children, An Incident That Makes You Loose Your Wife Or Husband, A Lateness That Makes You Fail The Exam And Other Such Failings, That In Your View, No God Of Love Would Allow.
But Who Said God Is A God Of Love?, The Arrow Believe In A God Of Everything, A God Of Love And Anger, Or Peace And War, Or Life And Death. God Over Everything. In The Ancient Traditions Our Different Tribes Across Africa, Classified These Gods With Attributes And Names To Suit Their Our Peculiar Role In The Lives Of Men. While I Will Not Delve Into Such Classifications, I Accept The Unerring Perfection Of The Universe, And Recognize Its Consistent Commitment To Balance Above All Else.
God Does Not Serve, But If Every Chance You Get, You Serve Him, Them There Will Be No Need To Fear Chance And Coincidence, Because With Every Chance, God Enables The Perfection Of Your Destiny, A Destiny Designed By Him, A Destiny In His Hands, All Existing In A World God Made, Simply For You And Me.
What Can Be An Accident Inside A Movie That Has Already Be Edited And Is Now Out In Theatres. Consider Your Life A Movie, Playing Out A Script And The Editor Is God, The Greatest Risk Of Chance And Coincidence, Is That You Move Off Script, Reacting To Momentary Dislocations And Failing To Recognize The Unfailing Nature Of The "Raw Hand Of God" That Is "Staring/Steering" The Waters, So That The Waves Can Reach The Heights That Will Make You Lean To Walk On Water.
REVELATION
Our people believe in the revelations coded into every event and occurrence of life. They find significance in the most Minutiae aspects of life, including the day and time of birth, month and lunar conditions, parentage, height and weight, the speed with which a baby learns to smile, open their eyes, talk, walk and the peculiar ways in which each of these things are done.
The Arrow of God, recognizes the peculiar destiny of an arrow, that is revealed in its pointed nature, which in nature alludes a Puncture of the norms of life.
Our life's design is often coded into the journey in occurrences that I call "impossibilities made for you" and they are often revealed by the events of life, which force our reaction and make revelations of capacity, in line with the needs of the roads of our destiny.
CAPACITY
The word capacity, speaks of consumption and the total volume one thing can take of the other. It measures ones total ability to handle things.
For example, how does a 5 year old child know of their capacity to outrun all others if he is never allowed to play outside by his parents? A house fire.
How does a boy raised in America learn about his capacity of love for his people? Importing Nigerian movies.
How does a girl in a whore house, marry as a virgin? A neighbours daughter's example.
In all of the circumstances and omissions of our birth, parentage and other cages that stymie ones knowledge of his true abilities, it is the incidents of life that activate us and unveil our capacity to do and undo, in line with our Innate abilities that are locked up or ignored by us or hidden or Suppressed as a result of circumstances that impale our progress.
TRIAL
How can a man be a man, if he is never tested?
Throughout life we encounter tests and trials of capacity, that expand our will, resolve and confidence in our capacity and abilities and buttress a need to go in oft dark directions where the revelations in coincidences and the exposed capacities of chance events, unveil our lighting nature as a natural neighbor to darkness.
Much of the events that we see as bad, are merely a test now, such that we can pass through the main events of life with stellar qualities, that are prepped for success.
Does it mean that God sets exams? Yes.
We believe, that life and God is a grand design of a masterclass perfected to yield exceptional human beings and human experiences.
Full joys, bursts through pain, Gold is best after it has been through the furnace, Life is Sweetest with the knowledge of death. All this, the balancing act of a complex dance, laces our journey with prepetory trials and Principal battles and without the trials, we will fail in life's main events.
SHOWCASE
An excellent life is a life where the goodness of God is exhibited. My people have a saying "Aka Chukwu Di Ya" , it literally means that "the hands of God are in it". This reference is used in the life of a man, to declare the magnificence of his successes and travails.
We also say that "Mmadu bu Chiukwu a na afu anya" , meaning that "Men are the God, we see".
A life in God is a showcase of the glory of God, encapsulated in a clear evidence in the lives of those who put God first and the glorious lives that they live.
Some Religions preach that to serve God is to face prosecution, others declare Aestheticism. These Notions Do Not Occur In The Cultures Of Africa And For The Most Part We Believe In The Magnanimity Of God, Blessings And Favour, Ascribing Deficits To A Misaligned Life.
I agree. The Arrow of God, expects, requests and works towards a life of blessings, grace and favour in which the glory of God radiates in the life of the righteous as long life, prosperity and the beauty of man and the works of his hands.
No matter the incidents and Coincidences, the Arrow of God will always land on his feat and end the journey a showcase of the manifestations of the glory of God.
CONQUEST
Disgraced out of the Beijing Olympics, what if Kamila Valieva still becomes the greatest figure skater of all times?
What is life? Is it the 1st 10 years, or the middle 5 or the last 2? No.
Life is the sum total of the whole journey of a man and the end result of an existence. If the end is beautiful, no matter the process, it is a beautiful life. If the end of life, is 5 children and 3 grand children, the age at which the births started pales in comparison to those who gave birth early and lost them midway.
Furthermore, those who gave birth to children who lived to be 40 years and died, cannot pretend to be worse off than those who never had the joy of a mother's cry.
All sai,. No matter what life is, if it is aligned with God, it can never go wrong.
PERFECTION
A symphony is not a melody, it is a massive collection of noise that plays out into rhythm by aligning to a single melody. A painting is not a picture, it is a ridiculous volume of erroneous strokes that by themselves only show the Color of pens, brushes and paints that in their collective nuisance tell the story of a young girl in the rain.
Perfection is a word I often argue with people about because many claim that it is not possible. I believe in perfection and in fact, I insist that the whole point of life is perfection.
The error is in people's definition of perfection, whereby they define it as a Footballer that never misses a goal, a Businessman that never looses a deal, a Husband that never annoys his wife, or any other mix or idea of life that one considers a lack of failings.
A perfect life is a life that sees all the Revelations of life's events, Accepts the Capacities they reveal, scales through their Trials learning the right lessons, Showcases that "God is Still God", ends in Conquest over life's travails, all to encase the Perfected excellence of God in the perfect rhythm and photogenic beauty of a painting that only God can make.
The perfection is not ours, it is the glory of God, manifest in our lives as a direct result of our yielding to God and submitting to the circumstances and situations of life as instruments of the creator, brush strokes in the sands of time, living testaments to the picture perfect rhythm of creation.
Life is not an accident and all of the occurrences of life must be viewed within the context of an understanding that "God is Still God" and that if you are in the service of God, all things are working for your good and everything that has been made and everything that has breath is at your service including the enemies of your dreams, who in their "divinely" hateful works, lead you "perfectly" to your place of destiny.
