From
The Innovator
To
His Beloved
Dearly beloved,
I hope this letter finds you in the best of health and spirits. I am doing quite well here and as usual glued to my ball point and paper to convey His message to you. There is something He described to me while I was preparing to go deliver a message to some of His sons yesterday which I dim fit to share with you in order to make the most out of this seemingly trying time. Yes! Of course He is aware of all you feel and go through, all the hurts and wishes. So, I thought of penning down a few lines to check things with you.
When there is so much trouble in the sea, then there is a big fish in there. A time of troubling in the sea may seem as if there is going to be a disorder in the sea. But, that is the only way the presence of the big fish is quickly observed. It can’t hide because of its magnificence. Where you see from determines if you see that as a time of troubling only. What do you see?
One person could see inconvenience in the water body, while the other could see the presence of a big fish profitable for commercial and personal consumption. Remember the twelve spies? Ten of them saw the troubled water, only two of them could see the big fish. The challenge here is if you can’t see the big fish you can’t calm the troubled sea!
What you concentrate on determines your thoughts and in turn your outcome. The troubled water or the big fish?
When you concentrate on the troubled water, two things may likely happen:
1). you won’t experience the calm of the sea and;
2). You won’t have access to the big fish.
On the other hand, when you concentrate on the big fish, you would have also two things likely to happen;
1). You will be ignited to think along the line of getting the fish and
2). Haven gotten the fish, by default the sea becomes calm.
The ten spies who only saw the troubled water never made it to the Promised Land, only the two (Joshua and Caleb) who saw the big fish eventually saw the calm of the sea and possessed the fish (Land).
What are you concentrating on?
I know all that confronts you obviously, but they are just as the troubled water. There wouldn’t be a troubled water if there isn’t an opportunity- the big fish. Yes, I know I can’t understand, but, He understands and He promised you good and an expected end. However, friend to be able to see the big fish in the troubled water, you have to cultivate the act of engaging in prayers wherewith you receive the word for your sea and meditating on this consistently.
You are not going to break, this time is to bring out the glory of God in you. Beloved, will you start seeing the big fish and ignore the troubled water? What you can see becomes what you see.
I need to go now, really need to get some rest, it’s been a busy week. My regards to your family and get this letter across to them.
I do love you. Stay innovated.
Your Innovator
