Happy New Year to you my dear, faithful and distinguished readers of the Sober on My Knees weekly treatise…

Thank you for your, criticisms, kinds words of encouragement, testimonies of impact and general comments…They are a priceless privilege, which my spirit and soul dare not take for granted…

I look forward to greater year for us all by the GRACE of GOD…

Wow!!! It is 2016 and I greet this year with a different kind of excitement, I call it SOBERLY EXCITEMENT…

I am 4 years away from my Golden Jubilee on the land of the living, a temporary suit…
This is the closest I have been to that Day of Ultimate Accountability before my SENDER to this space…

You know I was sent here…
My SENDER, in His infinite wisdom didn’t seek my CONSENT before this one-time-and-for-all sending…

He also didn’t seek my CONSENT before designing the space and what part I am sent to…

I am here in the IMAGE of the SENDER, equipped for EVERY GOOD WORK…
I am here as His ULTIMATE INVESTMENT on which He has highest EXPECTATIONS on RETURNS ON INVESTMENTS…

He commands me that while I am here, He teaches me to NUMBER my days that I may APPLY my HEART to WISDOM, saying to me I KNOW the THOUGHT, I THINK towards you, it is nothing of evil but to give you a FUTURE and a HOPE…

You see, I have spent most of my former years FIGURING as if I sent myself here…
I have called my FIGURING adventures convenient names like, VISIONING, DREAMING, HARD and SMART WORKING…

Though, it seems I have seen some results in my FIGURING YEARS, but in my state of SOBERLY EXCITEMENT in 2016, I have come to the IRRESISTIBLE conclusion that I will only fulfil the MANDATE of the SENDER by simply FOLLOWING and CONFORMING to his WILL in all of its FULLNESS…

My EYES are now perpetually FIXED on the FINISHED LINES…
The raging QUESTS of AMBITION are DOUSED by COMMITMENT to NOTHING BUT WILL, which is the REAL DEFINITION OF LEGACY…
LEGACY and His PURPOSE OF MY CREATION are now SYNONYMOUS REALITIES before me…
His WILL is the INEVITABLE COMPASS of all of my ENDEAVOURS, now and forever more…
I shall be nothing but His MEDIUM…

There is only ONE QUESTION I must always ask now: WHAT IS IN IT FOR THE MY SENDER, according to His CORE PURPOSE in the VOLUME OF BOOKS, written of me before the world began…

In this also I know I will stumble as my frailties as man are always before me, but my stumbles will not be my discouragement as I forge ahead, praying, Dear LORD, cause my THOUGHTS TO BE AGREEABLE TO YOUR WILL IN ALL THINGS and AT ALL TIMES…

In His WILL I will VISION, DREAM and WORK and outside His WILL shall nothing be done, for He works in me to WILL and to DO for His GOOD PLEASURE, having determined my APPOINTED TIMES and the BOUNDARIES of my HABITATION, that I may LIVE, MOVE and HAVE ALL of my BEING in Him…

It is my conclusion that it is CRASS FUTILITY and COMPOUND FOOLISHNESS to try to find my way in a space I was sent to without my consent, knowing that if my consent was critical to my exploits here, the SENDER would have sought it as a prerequisite for the JOURNEY…

By this DIVINE  STANDARD, some relationships are already being questioned, some of my former words are being eaten and some projects and the motives for establishing them are experiencing critical reviews…

Life is too short to commit to what He didn’t send me to commit to.I must work His WILL, MINDING ONLY MY OWN BUSINESS, while it is DAY because the NIGHT falls when no man can work…

I RELY on Him FULLY to find His Will, for His WILL is REVEALED in His WORD and His WORD is His SON,whose WILL is not grievous and SAFE to FOLLOW…
For in the FOLLOWING is the MAKING…

I am DONE with FIGURING…
I am ALIVE to FOLLOWING…
It is ALL of HIS WILL and NONE of mine…
It is ALL of HIS WAYS and NONE of mine…
It is ALL of HIS DEEDS  and NONE of mine..

Welcome to 2016…
This is my DECLARATION OF DIVINE DIRECTION…
What’s YOURS? Selah…

I am Taiwo AKINLAMI, a FOLLOWER of HIS WILL, Sober on his knees on this first LORD’S Day of 2016…Do have an INSPIRED YEAR.
