Gibberish!



Naturally speaking, gibberish seems senseless in its manifestation, go with it, anyway, it will make real sense in its time.


Learn to trust some senselessness even in your doubts because they bring you a place of complete liberty and freedom to be yourself.


Humanly: Sensible sense makes great sense. Divine sensibility makes no sense at all but produces expected results.


Gibber!


To make sense of nonsense is to irritate your sense of logic and reasoning, ruffling the ears of those who listen but are deficient and defiant of understanding. Gibberish is life’s delicacy to humankind, so, take it and relish the taste!


How keen are your taste buds? What becomes of you after this session? A brazen-faced or a grouchy old self? Help me to not fall away in the confusion of words.


Truly submitted, I am, to walk in understanding of your times, and seasons. Keep me glued on you; properly lifted and aligned with your course even in my doubts. Your guide is a surety, even less understood.


I know it, and I trust it!

Darwei, Timothy Jah

GROWING up as a baby Christian, lots of things didn’t really make sense to me. Things like, it was very funny to hear anyone speak in tongues, coupled with the fact of my Christian background, an evangelical, a non-Pentecostal denomination, speaking in tongues was a laughable matter to me. I used to mimic and make fun of the idea because it didn’t make any sense to me, the concept sounded gibberish.

The Pentecostal experience didn’t make meaning to my young, ignorant, and limited Christian understanding. Today, I have a big problem, not able or knowing how to pray and speak to God in a straight-plane language: English language or Berom language without bringing in tongues.

For life to ever make any sense, we must learn to accept and embrace that we call God’s gibberish into our lives and use it to impact positive change into our lives because it is amid this gibberish that He brings out our true color and flavor. Taking the treasure (lessons) learned from the experiences acquired grooms and transforms your life through and thorough.

Sometimes, life gives us reasons to doubt ourselves and give up. Life throws curve balls at us that wane and diminish the degree of courage, knowledge, and comportment. even with the well-acquired knowledge of principles and secrets of mind management.

It throws the curved balls on you and leaves you to figure it out all by yourself and when you have worked so hard to make meaning of the sudden murky fogginess and come to the end of yourself, then, you realize that there are things you don’t have headaches about because you can’t solve them up.

Why is it gibberish?

Because it is a meaningless or unintelligible talk or writing, talk or writing containing many obscure, pretentious, or technical words. Sometimes, when you visit the hospital, a doctor will scribble down something on paper and ask you to take it to the pharmacy or another personnel in the hospital. You try to read to know what the doctor has written but can’t make a head or understanding of what is written or when you listen to professionals talk, you get confused and cannot understand what they are talking about not because you’re hard of hearing or understanding but that the discussants are speaking technical terms (registers) that you’re unfamiliar with.

Curved Balls:
A difficult and disruptive situation unsettles your plans and leaves you hopeless or at a crossroads. Life might bring about moments to surprise someone with something difficult or unpleasant to deal with. But the ability to hold through, and get across victoriously to the other side of success is what distinguishes us from the crowd.

Many people snap and spew out despicable jargon whenever they find themselves in the curved balls moments when in actual sense, what makes, you, unique and different is your ability to maintain a calm, habitual, behavioral, and straightforward high moral rectitude.

I have come to that point in my life when I cease trying to make sense of anything I don’t understand happening in my life. I just take that it is one of those things God is doing in me that does not make sense and I just go with him even in my blindness.

Many things could constitute curved balls in our lives. A feeling or an expression of resentment, disappointment, or anger can be termed a curved ball (sour). A life gone sour or a sour life could also be when life becomes less enjoyable, pleasant, or good.

When there is enough trouble at every angle, when the love you look so much forward to comes to an abrupt halt and the relationship at the workplace begins to go bad, one’s world could look hopeless at that stage. These are stages where you would hear the common phrase, “I now believe my life has gone sour.”

They are moments of mistrust and misjudgment; a period of disgust and hatred, frustration and bitterness, unhealthy competition and envious, and at worst, the contemplation of suicide.

The ways of God are foolish to God and the ways of God will look foolish to any canal-minded person.

“For the wisdom of this world is foolishness to God. As the Scriptures say, “He traps the wise in the snare of their cleverness.” – 1 Corinthians 3:19.

So, I choose to follow after the foolishness of God, which inadvertently brings me to a good, victorious life than go with man’s wisdom which leads to perpetual death. Many times, I have witnessed God’s many ways that appeared senseless to me and in the end, I realized they brought about wonderful and overwhelming blessings to me. Why then, will I fall for the wisdom that will destroy me?

Jesus did not seem to be paying attention to what the men who brought Mary Magdalene before asked him to stamp their desire to stone her to death as the laws of Moses warranted. I can imagine what was going on in this woman’s mind when Jesus didn’t speak or answer back. I’m she was like, “Hmmm, today marks the end of my game I’m this trade. They said he is compassionate and forgiving, why wouldn’t he put in a word for me?”

“Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger in the dirt. They kept at him, badgering him. He straightened up and said, “The sinless one among you, go first: Throw the stone.” Bending down again, he wrote some more in the dirt.” – John 8:6-12 (MSG).

Mary Magdalene watched as these men left the spot one after another until everyone was gone and left her standing before him while he was still bent down and writing. When Jesus raised his head again, there was no one there except for the woman. And Jesus said to her, “Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.” – John 8:10-11

That was the gibberish Jesus cooked for Mary Magdalene with faithful to the laws of Moses, and it paid Mary off. She got her salvation and that turned around her life forever.

Mary Magdalene became the woman who became an ardent follower of Christ even after His death.

Too many speciations streamed, who knows whether part of the spilled anger from those days of her salvation from those who sought her life to destroy it. Recent movies came up to slander Jesus’ integrity by claiming that Mary Magdalene was the woman Jesus had as a girlfriend or lover if you want to put it in that light.

You know as well as I do, that such misconduct and disrespect of our savior and master can only come from disgruntled men, devoid of common sense and decorum to want to heap such scandalous slander against a man whose only sin was to love and give up his own life to take away their, our sins and make us cleansed and presentable before His Heavenly Father as washed and cleansed of every aorta of sin stain that was hanging on our heads – destroyers of goodness.

If He could save a prostitute, how much more, you? Turn to Him, He is loving and compassionate.

God bless
