AHDIJA! CHIAMAKA! DETOUN! YOUR GIFT?

Most times you can't give answers to why you went through certain situations. Like “Do I have to go through all these to become successful in life?” “Do I have to embrace existence?” You have to because no one does it better than you.

There's a story of three daughters who were given gifts by their father. One was given three gifts, the second, two gifts, and the last one, one gift. The first two daughters utilized what was given unto them but the last? She felt her father was too wicked to have given her a gift, she thought “Who the hell does he think he is? He wants to use me to achieve his aim right? Rather than wasting my time, I will rather bury this rubbish he called a gift in the pit. Let it die in here than letting my time waste for this nonentity”. 

The last daughter proved how stubborn she was, took a sparrow, dug the floor, and buried the one gift that was given to her by her father. 

After so much disobedience, The last daughter kept watching her two sisters utilize their gifts. They were either in the market persuading people to receive their message, or helping people, till their gifts got exhausted. Then she would stare at them, shake her head, and hiss at how stupid they were. She said in a sad tone “They don't know how foolish they have become”, she hissed.

The following week, Their father got back from his travel, and screamed in excitement, “Ahdija! Chiamaka! Detoun! Where are you? What have you done with your gifts?” Ahdija gave a wide grin, “yã bãba! I made sure none of my three gifts remained. I distributed each, gave out some, and look out how beautiful have become” she turned around smiling. “Good! Good!”, he said. 

“How about you, Chiamaka?”, he turned to Chiamaka. “Father! Look at the beautiful rose on my dress, I got this in exchange of my two gift, I made dresses, embraced change, can't you see how beautiful my dress is?” She asked. “But, father! It wasn't an easy task for me. I almost gave up”, She sighed. She said again, with a bright smile, “Nna! It was worth the wait”

“Detoun! How about you?” Their Father as well Mr. Junwa asked. Detoun, hissed and asked “Which gift?”, “That rubbish thing you called a gift? I buried it” she hissed again and laughed. Mr. Junwa looked at Detoun in amazement and told her what the gift had in store for her, “Detoun, the gift had in it a key to the door you have always asked me for, I packed it in a small box to surprise you. It worth as the gift I gave your sibling. Detoun! What have you done?”.

Detoun knelt down in shock and cried out, “What! Why didn't you tell me? Father! What have you done?”, Mr. Junwa turned to her and said, “Detoun! You brought this upon yourself”.

Unto Ahdija and Chiamaka, He gave greater rewards for their obedience and diligence. “Ahdija! Chiamaka! Congratulations, this is for a job well done. You have proved yourself to be worthy of my possession. Welcome!

The story of Ahdija, Chiamaka, Detoun, and Mr. Junwa must have inspired you as it did to me. It must have granted you an insight to the first saying, “Most times you can't give answers to why you went through certain situations. Like “Do I have to go through all these to become successful in life?” “Do I have to embrace existence?”, You have to because no one does it better than you.”

The Journey of life make you experience the least expected. But you know what? God loves you, He is molding you into the beautiful woman He wants you to be. He is not asking you to be perfect but he is asking you to come to him the way you are, and hold his hands to help you walk through the journey of life. He wants to pick you up from the dirt you found yourself in, dust the particles off your dress, and keep on with the journey of purpose.
