IN TURBULENCE OF CORONA PANDEMIC WE MUST REMAIN UNSHAKABLE


IN ALL CYNICISM AND SKEPTICISM WE MUST REMAIN RESOLUTE 
...Footnote by Philip Ezenwatu....



"The year that Okonkwo took eight hundred seed yams from Nwakibie was the worst year in his living memory. Nothing happened at its proper time; it was either too early or too late. It seemed as if the world had gone mad.
The first rains were late and when they came, lasted only a brief moment... The drought continued for eight market weeks and the yams were killed... The year had gone mad. When the rains finally returned, they fell as it had never fallen before. Trees were uprooted and deep gorges appeared everywhere. 

Alas, when the terrible year passed, Okonkwo exclaimed "Since I survived that year," he always said, "I shall survive anything."".-- Things fall Apart; Chinua Achebe.

This year has become for us like the horrendous year of Okonkwo. We have had good plans, prospects, aims and goals whose fruitions have been suspended. However, like Okonkwo, with our prayers, hope, faith, obedience and doggedness, we shall one day look back and retort  SINCE WE SURVIVED THAT YEAR, WE SHALL SURVIVE ANYTHING.

The Lord of host is with us, the God of Jacob is our stronghold.

I care about you,
Jesus loves you,
Stay safe.
