IN JANUARY YOU GAVE ME LIFE
YOU GAVE ME SIGHT, TOOK ME ROUND AND SHOWED ME PLACES,
YOU GAVE ME BODY AND CLOTHED ME MARVELOUSLY,
YOU PROMOTED ME BY TAKING MY DESTINY A STEP FURTHER,
HAVING CAUSED ME TO GRADGUATE
AS A BACHELOR OF ENGINEERING THE PREVIOUS YEAR,
LORD I SAY THANK YOU!
IN FEBRUARY YOU SENT ME FOR NYSC WITHOUT DELAY,
EVERYTHING WENT SMOOTHLY, AS I CLEARED IN SCHOOL TO GO FOR SERVICE,
LORD I SAY THANK YOU!
IN MARCH IT WAS YOU PERSONALLY TAKING ME BY MY HAND TO LEAD ME FORWARD,
YOU GAVE ME A HOME AND A FAMILY IN A LAND I KNEW NO ONE,
YOU GAVE ME A PLACE OF PRIMARY ASSIGNMENT WITH NUMEROUS BENEFITS,
AND ADDED A HOUSE OF MY OWN TO IT,
LORD I SAY THANK YOU!
IN APRIL I WAS ENTHUSED TO SEE YOU STILL MOVING AHEAD TO DO WONDERS,
TAKING ME ON A FLIGHT ON THE WINGS OF GLORY BY THE HOLY GHOST,
INDEED YOU TOOK ME HIGHER,
LORD I SAY THANK YOU!
IN MAY, THE NEWS WAS THAT MY CASE IS DIFFERENT,
YOU INCREASED ME MATERIALLY AND FINANCIALLY,
YOU GAVE ME AN OPEN CHEQUE TO SIGN,
WHEN I WAS STILL TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT, YOU CALLED ME HIGHER FOR SERVICE IN YOUR HOUSE,
IT WAS INDEED AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE BLESSED,
WHILE I WAS STILL ABSORBING THAT, A SCHOLARSHIP TO BE TRAINED
FOR PROJECT MANAGEMENT CAME UP AND YOU ADDED SOME SKILLS TOO,
WHEN I WASN’T LOOKING FOR A SECONDARY ASSIGNMENT YOU GAVE ME ONE,
AND LORD I SAY THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE FOR ME!
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU MY LORD? I WANT YOU TO KNOW MY HEART IS YOURS!
THEN CAME JUNE, AND YOU TOLD ME I AM DESTINED FOR GLORY.
IT WAS INDEED A TIME OF FRESH EXPERINCE IN LIFE,
YOU TOOK ME TO PLACES, CONNECTED ME TO PEOPLE AND BLESSED PEOPLE WITH MY LIFE,
I HAD TIMES OF SHARING YOUR WORD WITH GREAT DESTINIES,
YOU STEPPED ME UP IN SUCH A WAY THAT IT BECAME IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO FAIL,
I CAN’T COUNT IT ALL, LORD I JUST WANNA SAY THANK YOU!
THEN IT WAS JULY, THE MONTH OF MY BIRTH…
YOU ADDED ANOTHER YEAR TO MY YEARS AND TOPPED THE MEASURE OF WISDOM I COMMAND.
IT WAS INDEED A MONTH OF GOD’S WISDOM WORKS!
I SAW YOU MAKING ALL THINGS NEW, AND TOUCHING MY FAMILY IN A SUPERNATURAL WAY.
YOU INCREASED ME IN KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE--
BY TAKING ME AND MY GROUP TO PLACES IN LOKOJA FOR OUTINGS.
YOU GAVE ME GRACE TO CELEBRATE MY BIRTH DAY LIKE NEVER BEFORE WITH MY NEW FAMILY,
AND AS WELL WITH A SPECIAL PERSONAL TREAT IN THE BEST EATRY IN TOWN… IT WAS INDEED A WOW!
NOW CAME AUGUST, IN WHICH YOU EMPOWERED ME--
ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO BLESS DEAR ONES FINANCIALLY WITHOUT STRESS!
MY HEART WAS SO GLADENED, O LORD, YOU ARE TOO MUCH!
THE WONDERS OF THE PREVIOUS MONTH SPILLED OVER TO THIS ONE ,
I WAS CALLED UPON TO IMPART YOUNG MINDS ON ICT, AND I WAS SO FULFILLED IN DOING IT,
LORD I THANK YOU FOR THAT PRIVILEDGE.
BEFORE THE MONTH ENDED YOU TOOK ME ON A SAFE TRIPTO MY HOME,
AND GREAT TIMES AT THE HEADQUARTERS OF MY CHAPEL WAS ADDED TO MY CATALOGUE OF
TESTIMONIES…TRULY SPEAKING, I CAN’T THANK YOU ENOUGH.
WHEN SEPTEMBER CAME, IT WAS ME AT MY ALMA MATER,
REJOICING WITH FRIENDS ON THEIR SENDFORTH CEREMONY,
AFTER THAT, YOU DIDN’T WASTE TIME IN TAKING ME BACK SAFELY TO MY STATION AT LOKOJA,
YOU DIDN’T SLOW DOWN AT ALL IN LIFTING ME: INTELLECTUALLY AND SPIRITUALLY,
YOU GAVE ME THE OFFICE OF A STUDENT AFFAIRS MANAGER AT MY WORK PLACE,
I SAW YOU BUILDING MY DESTINY WITH STYLE AND VIGOR,
I WAS BECOMING A BETTER ME, BEING ABLE TO HELP LIVES; THANKS LORD!
THEN CAME OCTOBER, THE NATION’S BIRTH MONTH,
IT WAS PRIVILEDGE ONCE MORE FOR SERVICE,
I WAS CHOSEN TO MINISTER TO FLOOD VICTIMS WHICH I DID WITH MUCH PLEASURE,
I WON’T FORGET THE FINANCIAL BLESSING THAT FOLLOWED, AFTER THE PRESIDENT’S VISIT,
FATHER YOU ARE JUST TOO MUCH, BECAUSE I KNOW YOU PROVED SOMETHING AGAIN TO ME.
BEFORE THE MONTH ENDED, IT WAS MY BATCH “C’ FRIENDS’ BANQUET,
DURING WHICH YOU ANOINTED ME PRESIDENT OVER WCF IN LOKOJA AND THE WHOLE OF KOGI STATE,
AND THAT WAS JUST ANOTHER PRIVILEDGE TO SERVE AND BE BLESSED FURTHER!
MEANWHILE, I HAD ALREADY BECOME THE SCRIBE IN MY CDS GROUP,
I STILL SAY THANKS A MILLION DEAR LORD!
BEFORE THE MONTH ENDED, YOU TOOK ME ON A TOUR TO OBAJANA CEMENT FACTORY,
AND YOU SHOWED ME UP TO DATE TECHNOLOGY IN APPLICATION, WHICH I NEVER HAD THE
PRIVILEDGE OF SEEING DURING MY FIVE (5) YEARS OF UNDERGRADGUATE STUDIES IN THE UNIVERSITY.
I COULDN’T BUT WATCH WITH MY MOUTH AGAPE!
THE WONDER AT OBAJANA CULMINATED WITH THE NEWS OF THE MIRACLE WEDDING OF A DEAR
FRIEND IN ADDITION TO MY GOING TO WELCOME THE 2012 BATCH “C” CORPERS IN NOVEMBER-
ANOTHER PRIVILEDGE OF SERVING.
YOU GAVE ME AND MY COLLEAGUE GRACE TO STAY THERE FOR 21 DAYS,
WHICH YOU CAPPED WITH TESTIMONIES OF CORPERS WHO IDENTIFIED WITH US
IN THE WINNERS FAMILY.
WHEN WE RETURNED TO LOKOJA, IT WAS GRACE SPEAKING ALL THE WAY,
“MAKING STREAMS FLOW IN THE WILDERNESS”
IT ALL HAPPENED LIKE A DREAM, BECAUSE YOU GAVE ME LEVERAGE-
IN MY PLACE OF PRIMARY ASSIGNMMENT.
I JUST THOUGHT ABOUT ALL THESE AND COULDN’T HOLD IT BUT SAY YOU ARE TERRIFIC IN YOUR WAYS!
WHEN DECEMBER CAME, YOU FIRST TOLD ME: “YOU ARE FOR SIGNS”
THEN CAME THE CONVOCATION OF SAINTS TAGGED SHILOH 2012- DOUBLE PORTION SHILOH!
WHERE I RECEIVED THE TRANSFERENCE OF THE SPIRIT OF JUST MEN MADE PERFECT.
WHILE I WAS STILL BASKING IN THE EUPHORIA OF THAT,
THE WEDDING OF A WINNERS CORPER, WHO HAD NOW TURNED GOLD, CAME UP
TO WHICH YOU LED ME WITH MY VICE PRESIDENT TO GRACE THE OCCASION,
I STILL SAY THANK YOU.
YOU TOOK ME TO CANAANLAND, TO FAITH TABERNACLEA AND TO COVENANT UNIVERSITY-
FOR SURE I KNEW MY DESTINY HAD TAKEN A NEW DIMENSION.
STILL ON THIS FLIGHT, YOU TOOK ME TO SUCCESS CAMP AND THEN TO REDEEMED CAMP,
WHERE I KNOW ITS AN ADDITIONAL DIMENSION OF GRACE RECEIVED FOR MY DESTINY.
THE YEAR IS YET TO END, AND AM CERTAIN WHAT LIES AHEAD IS BEYOND MY IMAGINATION,
I KNOW IT IS ABOUT DOUBLE PORTION SERIES AND SEASONS OF TESTIMONIES IN 2013,
I HAVE ENJOYED THE TRIP WITH YOU LORD IN 2012, I LOOK UP TO GREATER ONES…
I THOUGHT OF WHAT TO GIVE TO YOU FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE, AND THIS IS WHAT I CAME UP WITH:
THANKS FOR THE EXPERINCE, THANKS FOR THE PRIVILEDGES, THANKS FOR
TIMES OF SACRIFICES AND SERVICE, THANKS FOR WHAT I LOST, THANKS FOR WHAT
I GAINED, THANKS FOR WHAT AM ABLE TO APPRECIATE NOW, AND THANKS FOR
WHAT I STILL DON’T UNDERSTAND… I JUST FELT LIKE PACKAGING THIS THANK YOU
SCRIPT BECAUSE I SEE IT AS THE BEST I CAN GIVE. THANK YOU MY LORD,
BECAUSE I WONDER WHERE I WOULD HAVE BEEN BY NOW IF NOT YOU.
YOUR BELOVED SON,
LOTACHUKWU, IN 2012.
