I woke up this last Saturday morning and set to go out to buy some
things. Two guys, whose way of living needed to be addressed,
offered to come with me. I knew I needed to have talked to these
guys a long time ago but I kept procrastinating waiting for the
right time to talk about those "ungodly" things they do and why it
is needful for them to change.
While driving along one of the major Abuja highways, I spotted a cat
sitting in the middle of the road and cars were narrowly missing it
and yet the cat refused to leave the middle of the highway. These
caught my interest and I decided to have the `one in a million' shot
recorded with my camcorder which I fortunately had with me this very
day.
I made a U turn to go back to where I had spotted the beautiful but
suicide loving cat and was surprised to still see the cat there. I
got out of the car, crossed to the middle of the road and stood on
the road divider so that I could get a closer shot of the cat. While
I was there trying to put on my video camera, I discovered that the
cat had been injured which made it impossible for the cat to
transport itself to the road side and it then occurred to me that I
should rather help the cat by moving it to the road side. I made my
quick calculations to make a move for the cat immediately after a
car that was fast approaching must have come and gone.
Cruuulkkkksch! was the next thing I heard. The car had run over the
cat and its blood was every where. This pained my heart and changed
my mood completely because I could have saved the cat if I was
interested in that, other than taking the video shot of this cat
with no 9 lives.
I left the scene hurt and disappointed in my self. I got back into
my car and drove off but the picture of the cat kept coming back. I
knew something was wrong somewhere. Ordinarily, it is not my style
to stop on the road to check things out, but this day I did. Also,
it was the first time I took my camcorder out.
Later in the day, the Holy Spirit brought to my understanding what
had happened in the morning. The cat was a message.
The message: " Just like you stood watching the cat instead of
taking it off the road, while it was luckily escaping been crushed
by hare's breath, That is the exact way you will keep
procrastinating till those guys get destroyed by those things you
have been in position to correct and also offer a way out. I got the
message immediately and I made sure I talked to these guys about
those issues that same evening.
Have you been procrastinating on a particular issue, Are there
people around you that God expected you to show the way out of the
bondage of the enemy and yet you have kept quiet about those things?
Are you unnecessarily unbothered about how they live their lives? Or
are you waiting for God to shed the blood of another of his creation
before you know it is the time to move. Or has God been killing cats
and doing a lot of other thing to get your attention and yet you
remain obdurate? Or have you totally given up on some people?
Failure to move now may be so costly, costlier than the life of a
Beautiful Godly Cat.
