The NAiL! (II)

...Please click, if you have not read The Nail (I)...

At this point, all I could think of was Peter locked up in the prison and how the angel came to set him free, so, my sis & I took our matter to the Lord in prayer.

Sincerely, I thought the door would open by itself, so, I just stood looking 😆, what do you think? It did not open.
Do you know those "SHURE" heavyweight doors, this was one of them..

Then, we decided to use common sense (which was given to us by God), and we started looking round the room for any form of iron, or screwdriver, we did not find any.

Somehow, during our search, My Sis noticed a nail hanging loosely in the wall only supporting the wire of that old looking creaking wall fan, which she pulled out, and to our amazement, it was not the normal pointed tip, it had a flat face like a screwdriver.

This was what we used to unbolt the screws on the door handle and set ourselves free..."

On that day, our ordinary looking nail fulfilled its destiny, that is to be a Savior.
The "Grand nails" could not help us, the "Artisan's nails" could not help us.

Like, our ordinary looking nail, you might feel that your life is ordinary looking, but I tell you, you are made for more.

You might feel like your life has no value or less worth compared to your mates, but I encourage to see yourself through heaven's eyes(from the Prince of Egypt movie) and this is why, God says (present tense, right now),

Before you were born, I knew you and ordained you, you are beautifully and wonderfully made, not just to exist but to fulfil my purpose for your life, here on earth, and I promise that as long as you seek and follow me, I will cause all things to work together for your good and you will have hope and a lovely future...
(Jeremiah 1:5, Psalm 139:14, Romans 8:28, Jeremiah 29:11)

You are made for more, you might not feel like it, look like it but make no mistake, you are not just here to exist but to live and to live to your fullest...

Oh lest I forget, another Tip: After prayers, when in doubt, use common sense..😁

Shalom!

The NAiL! (I)

Are there days you have felt insignificant, like your whole existence can be summed up in a one word, Dull?

In comparison to your mates, your colleagues, your juniors, your friends, even haters, it's like your world is just stagnant.

Let me tell you a story...

So,there was this nail, it was used to support the wire of a wall fan, it was nothing fancy, just a normal nail.

Not too far from it, were similar looking nails, they were used to hold the rods of these beautiful curtains. These nails were nothing fancy too, but because of what they supported, they were called the "Grand nails".

Everyone who entered the room was mesmerized by the curtains and always praised its beauty and this made the grand nails the talk of the town amongst "nails".

Close to these grand nails, were nails used to hold the wooden hanger, used to hold clothes, these were called the Artisan's nails.
They were not as great as the "Grand nails" but they were also proud in their own arena.

Everyday, our ordinary looking nail would always wonder, why it was made to hold wire, ordinary wire of an old looking, creaking wall fan, until this fateful day...

"I needed to use the toilet urgently, so my sister and I entered the room, while I used the toilet, she was browsing on her phone, lying close to that old, creaking wall fan.
When it was time for us to leave, it became a problem.

Flashback:
In a hurry to use the toilet, and ensure our safety, we locked the gate of the house and left the key at the mouth of the gate.
As we entered the room, we left the key at the keyhole of the door and closed it because of mosquitoes.

Remember, we forgot the key at the door outside.
You see, that door had issues, you could only use the key to open it from the inside, this automatically meant we were stuck inside.
That would not have been a problem, but you see, the main gate was locked and the key was still at the mouth of the gate.

Tip: When a key is left at the keyhole of a door, another key can not open that door at the same time, you can try it.

So, this meant, we were stuck twice, nobody could help us from the outside and we were stuck on the inside.
Oh, we would have passed the windows but they were burglar proof..."
