David, my friend.

My dear friend David. Yes, you are a giant-killer, but your throne may not be ready yet.


Yes, you have charisma, but you may need time to develop the right character to rule when the time is right.


Watch the songs that are being composed with your name attached to it. 'Saul killed a thousand and David killed ten thousand' is not a song for you to dance to.


Distance yourself from this song and their composers. If possible, hide yourself for a while for God to tutor you more.


Do not let your praise-singers make you see Saul as your next 'uncircumcised Philistine' for his head to also roll.

Saul must not die in your hands. Remember, Saul is still anointed of God and he is still the King.

An application to ‘My Future’ – A Satire.

Dear ‘My Future’,

 

Please accept this letter as my formal application for the position of ‘An Individual With A Great Future’.

 

I am a young, active, brilliant professional who, for reasons of being idle and confused, now channels my energy and resources into creating ‘go-to’ platforms where ‘breaking news’ are shared.

 

Over the last couple of years, I have become technologically savvy, with great proficiency in phone usage. My two most-used functionalities are ‘record’ and ‘send’. Whether it makes sense or not, I record it and post it online. It is a fast world and whoever breaks the ‘news’ first gets the most attention. Therefore, I really do not have the time to verify before I amplify any message.

 

While I could be using my time online to learn new life, business, and career-transforming skills, I see more opportunities in peddling rumors and viewing meaningless videos.

 

I have built a qualitative experience ‘forwarding’ unnecessary, unsolicited and unverified messages to people. In particular, when there is a promise that ‘god’ will bless me, I usually make sure such messages are sent out with utmost urgency. Whatever is sent to me – profanity, etc., my contact lists must receive them.

 

When it comes to recording, sharing and forwarding ‘news’, nobody is spared – my friends, pastor, manager, colleagues, and family members.

 

Recently, in response to one of my posts, somebody told me I may be ruining my future gradually, by maligning others. I immediately rejected that negative suggestion in ‘jesus’ name. My portion in life is to succeed and succeed I must, especially in this ‘content-hungry’ world.

 

The beeps from the different likes on my posts wake me up in the morning, and in going to bed at night, I regularly peruse what needs to be posted the next day. Keeping my seven social media platforms active everyday has been a great delight, and I hope to sustain this momentum as I take up the role of ‘An Individual With A Great Future.’

 

Please give utmost consideration to these invaluable experiences I have noted above in your decision.

  

I look forward to hearing from you and will appreciate an opportunity to discuss further with you soon.

 

Sincerely,

 

The Guy With A Doubtful Future.
