JANUARY 15TH 2021!

Having worked with him – and of course, also walked with him, even from afar – it was now necessary to meet Dr Peter Musa Omale in person. I asked him if it was possible to come see him, he graciously accepted and we agreed to meet.

The first scheduled date was not possible because I had to travel to see my family. I felt quite bad for the disappointment, especially because it really came from my side.

I spoke with Dr about it and he agreed for another time. I was glad. 

Finally, we met. It was a great moment especially as we have never seen throughout the time we had known each other.

I got to Abuja, he drove down to pick me. I felt glad and extremely peaceful and welcomed.

It was a busy day for him, as he was leaving the office for another meeting. We drove together to Eagle’s Square, the venue of the meeting. Hoping that the meeting will end on time, he thought I should wait for him so we could go home together after the meeting instead of just directing me home. 

However the meeting ended late due to some preparations that were being made at the venue for the next day. For the following day would be the Armed Forces Remembrance Day, the president and others will be there to lay wreath in honour of fallen heroes.  

Finally, we were driving home. We continued our random discussion. We talked many important things and Dr was freely sharing things with me.

Then he talked about how something is quite difficult to do. And he immediately added that he does not use such a negative word as “difficult”, he was however only trying to explain how it is to me. This particular thing that seems difficult I cannot remember even till now. But his comment on the word “difficult” kind of challenged me.

I, personally, do not use any “negative” word. However, right until that time, I had never seen “difficult” as a negative word. His comment struck me differently and enlightened me and I agreed it is really negative.

I was glad for such enlightenment and was sure I was in the right place. I was ready and open to receive more light as possible believing I was going to hear more through him. 

We got home late and after doing the necessary things, we continued our discussion.

Something awed me. That was Dr’s willingness and freeness to spend his time with me and share with me many great things. 

I related some things with him, he advised me accordingly. Then we talked about God’s direction. He gave many instances God has directed him and the outstanding results that ensued.

I was glad that the way God relates with him seems to be similar to mine. But at the same time I felt godly sorrowful for not obeying God so many times even when he had directed me, and that of course had led me to some unnecessary sufferings. I was now repenting. 

These testimonies helped me thank God and appreciate Him for such directions He had given me in times past and also emboldened me to obey some recent ones He has given me.

Our discussion continued. Some of the times, I seemed to be happier being with him than for whatever reason I was with him. It was quite an extraordinary feeling.

Since we got home late, we discussed till late in the night and crossed to the next day. Behold, it was Dr’s birthday!

I believe – and I think he also does – that all the impossibility of not meeting on the first scheduled date and eventually meeting and still getting home late was for us to enter into his new year together. What an honour!

We knelt down to pray and praise. A word was given. We had a glorious moment.

We departed and retired to sleep. 

Now extremely tired, having not slept for two days and been on a long journey, I quickly dosed off and slept at the same time hoping to wake up as early as possible.

Then I had a dream. In my vision, I saw myself struggling to get through a “difficult” thing, for that was the sum of the dream.

Just as I hoped, I woke up so early, even earlier than I thought. Then I knew a vision was brought to me but I could not remember vividly its content. However, the reality remained on my mind. So I slept back and had another dream that shortly came to pass as I was waking up.

As the sun began to rise, the vision I had was getting clearer and I realized I have been making myself pass through some unnecessary struggles because of some of my words that were negative but did not see them as such.
