The President of a nation on a journey to settle his subject on a good land decided to scout the land purposely to establish the veracity of the claim to his subjects.

The essence of the scouting is never about him but about his people who see before believing.

Now, to do this, he selected 12 intelligent, Harvard-trained, well travelled and educated men to go and confirm what he has said about their new homes.

Off, they went and to be kind to them, they never have it easy on their 3-months journey.

Some of the challenges they encountered on the way including; the descendants of Anakim (Giants), fortified walls, populated cities, inter-tribal wars here and there, pagans with barbaric cultures and many other difficulties too numerous to highlight.

Needless to say, the journey was not all gloomy, for they saw a land flowing with milk and honey, a supportive climate for their occupation, a land that produced in thousands agriculturally, rivers, streams and springs that produce water in and out of season and many others advantages that time will not permit mentioning.

All the words of the president were confirmed.

After 3 months, the national delegates returned to report to the whole country. It was to be a live broadcast.

10 of 12 reported that though the land is as you told us, sir, even more than you said but we met the cannibalistic giants therein, there were high walls, and the people there are powerful (they didn’t engage in any fight along the way, how they knew that those people are more powerful than them battled me sef 🙆‍♀️🙆‍♀️🙆‍♀️). We were grasshoppers, those people will just trample on us like ants.

This caused a national uproar instantly, both on and offline, but the 2 remaining delegates rushed to grab the mic and reported all the advantages of the scouted land highlighting the fact all the disadvantages reported by the first 10 are actually to their advantages

They encouraged them not to forget that they have conquered better fortified wall, more numerous and tall people/nations before and that they should not forget the word and helps of their president’s Godfather who also doubled as their National Patron while singing this song, ‘ count your blessings, name them one by one and you will be surprised at what the Lord has done…’

Meanwhile, while the 2 were addressing the press, somebody tweeted ‘off the mic‘ on them and like a harmattan fire, it trended on all social media platforms #onthemic.

Those that were in the hall where the press was being addressed have picked stones for the 2.

Those online have started issuing threats to them.

Protests has filled all the major streets.

International media houses have started carrying the news.

The 2 delegates would have been lynched had it not been for the intervention of their president and his vice.

Las las, since they did not believe the word of their president as sent to them by their Patron, the Patron promised to rescind his help to them in terms of power and GPS to navigate the road untill they received sense.

He also told them none of protestors will get to the land except the 2 that believe him.

In fact, if not for plead of the President and his Vice, the patron has vowed to completely abandon them.

Finally, of all the over a million of them, only 2 entered the promised land.

Ponder on these questions:

1. Whose reports will you believe? God, human, breaking news, circumstances, etc.

2. What are seeing currently in the present situation?

3. Do you remember that the God of yesterday is the God of tomorrow?
