IT WASN’T ME! A TURTLEDOVE DID 🕊️

“But some fell on good soil and produced a crop that was thirty, sixty, and even a hundred times as much as he had planted.”

The Book of Matthew 13:8

The symbol of the Holy Spirit are Dove, Fire, Oil, Wind and Water. 

THE DOVE: This can be seen in the description of the baptism of Christ (Matt. 3:16; Mark 1:10; Luke 3:22; John 1:30-34

Why I used the name turtledove? It is because a turtledove was used for offering during the time of Abraham, Moses, and Mary the mother of Jesus. 🏛️

I’m gonna tell ya my experience how sowing the ‘spiritual seed’ produced a crop.

My first job as Pharmaceutical Service Representative (PSR) required me to do a lot of travels. My company provided me with a personal service car and marketing tools like brochures and product samples which I carried along everyday to enhance my sales performance in realizing  daily objectives – to call upon practising physicians and promote my products through one on one detailed presentations.

Travelling alone driving my car from base city to a far distant target territory, one city to another meeting clients who were of different medical specialties. I spared no effort introducing my company – the world’s leader in a specific therapy and to finally shove product recommendations.

Normally during the whiz of my activity, I used to carry a Holy Bible placed inside my ‘detail bag’. I believed this book has full of insights which I habituated to read daily on set schedules before bedtime and in bracing a new day. I sorted out this opportunity as my extra mile moment in exploring the ancient truth about life.

While in the field at that time, I encountered a lot of charms. Making friendship to some analogous to mine, and came across to know one lad named Joe (not his real name).

Heretofore, when I met Joe on that day incidentally I shared some lines from the scriptures, which I can’t even remember today what lines did I punch-in. After that, we didn’t see each other anymore.

Life is full of surprises and meanings. Unexpectedly, after twenty years I met Joe in the road again.

While I was making a walk by the road, a car heading through the opposite direction, slowly moving and stopped near me. Then I heard a voice calling my name, “Hey, Rod. Joe here. How are yah?!” In my surprise, knowing it was Joe inside the car I immediately replied, “I’m great, Joe. How ’bout yah? What do you do now?”

Joe coming out of the car and approached me and got to shake my hand. He smiled and said, “Im a pastor now. My career choice begun from that moment you shared the word to me. The word lived and grew abundantly in my heart. Well, I can still recall the place when you were holding a small bible in front of me. Thank you, Rod! “

“Congratulations Pastor Joe. See! You’re now dealing with heaven’s business. A noble profession.” And my eyes shone with joy.

“Don’t thank me Joe, it wasn’t me! A turtledove did it to you. He guided you and change your heart from stone to flesh and owned you to serve Him”, I replied.

And Joe shouted, “Praise God!” And I answered, “Amen” 🏛️
