Welcome to AfriTunes week 71. I'm glad because I'm able to partake in this week's entry. I've been so busy! I feel like I don't even have a life anymore. Second semester examination has commenced in my school. You're confused right? I was too.
I concluded my first semester examination on the 10th of May. Around 14th may, the second semester began, so we spent roughly 2 months and a few weeks in the second semester.
The timetable is crazy. Below is my calendar.
The dates dotted are days scheduled for my examinations. You can see that there's a point where I have an examination everyday for a week. It's crazy! I felt like crying but there's no time for that.
I'm using this opportunity to apologize ahead of time just in case I vanish again.
On my quest to share amazing African Tunes with y'all, today I'm presenting a very soothing Yoruba gospel song. Just as I've been doing recently, I've tried to incorporate Yoruba language in my presentation again.
This song speaks of the qualities of God and how words are not enough to describe Him. God is forever to be trusted. Sometimes When I speak of his awesomeness, people get lost. A few times that I've been opportuned to share the word with people who are unbelieving, I've always prayed that they experience the kind of miracles that I have so they can understand where I'm coming from.
A part if the song says: "there's nothing You cannot do
There's no mountain you cannot move
If He has said it then He will do it
You have a track record of keeping words
And you're not about to stop doing it now"
Wow! 😭
This song had me reflecting on the numerous miracles I've encountered. It took me back to the years I sought for admission. Writing JAMB 5 good times broke me. I felt useless. After trying twice, I decided to find a job. A year letter I was employed at the school I applied to. I wrote JAMB again, seeking admission to study Law. I didn't get it. My scores dropped each time.
I started working as a class assistant which I applied for. I was so small. The job turned out to be my biggest nightmare. I was given additional tasks such as cleaning, Washing toilets. It was hectic. I ran errands in and out of school. I considered resigning a lot of times but because I didn't want to be idle.
A year later at that school, I learnt a great deal, I started covering for teachers on their sick days irrespective of the class. I held home lessons for kids who had some challenges and just like that, a passion for education grew and I applied to study English Education. The admission came so late, a month after school had resumed. My name reflected on the VC's list. VC, I don't know. Who worked out my admission? I can't tell.
There and then it dawned on me that oftentimes waiting on God is a good thing. It might not make sense to you why what you desperately need is so far away but it will make sense much later.
I have shared this story a few times from different perspectives, today I'm encouraging you to hold on because God is mighty and there's nothing he can't change. I hope you enjoy my presentation.
Lyrics
Olorun Agbaye
You are Good, you are kind
You are more than these
I'm lost for Words trying to describe you
Elohim, El-elyon, Aleselewi
Your Greatness is all I see
There is nothing you cannot do
There's no mountain you cannot move
If you have said it
Then you will do it
Cause You have a Track record
Of keeping Words
And you're not about
To stop doing it now
Olorun Agbaye oh
(You are Mighty oh)
Olorun Agbaye oh, oh
(You are Mighty oh)
Shebi iwo lo f'oju Orun
(S'aso bora)
Shebi eyin le f'oju Orun
(S'aso bora)
Olorun Agbaye oh,
(You are Mighty oh)
You are mighty o
By the Blood that you shed
We have overcome
Discharged and acquitted for life
Then you gave us the right
To your Holy Name
The center of Power and Strength
There is nothing you cannot Change
There's no bondage you cannot Break
If you have said it
Then you will do it
You have a Track record
Of keeping Words
And you're not about
To stop doing it now
Olorun Agbaye oh,
(You are mighty oh)
Olorun Agbaye oh, oh
(You are mighty oh)
Olorun agbaye oh
(You are mighty oh)
Olorun agbaye oh
(You are mighty oh)
Shebi iwo lo f'oju Orun
(S'aso bora)
Shebi eyin le f'oju Orun
(S'aso bora)
Sebi iwo lo f'oju Orun
(S'aso bora)
Sebi iwo lo f'oju Orun
(S'aso bora)
