Back in the days, I sought the Lord for direction
He gave an instruction to start a pulpit vocation
So I stayed steadfast and prayed for more revelation
But despite my focus, I still fought with frustration
You see, I was jobless and needed financial motivation
What’s the reward for my daily devotion?
I deserved a breakthrough by my calculation
It would only be fair if I got a monetary explosion
Days later, I got a call that played on my emotion
I got ready to set out for more information
In my excitement, I skipped my morning devotion
It was an interview, and I did well to their admiration
I knew taking this job would flout God’s instruction
More so, it could cause a destiny diversion
But I was so broke; I signed up with little hesitation
I planned to retire after getting financial stabilisation
Accepting this job wasn’t my honest intention
I knew it affected my divine vocation
It took me away from the pulpit ministration
Hopefully, God would overlook my rebellion
Perhaps in this job, He’ll give a new direction
And so, I started to hope for a new vision
I tried so hard to silence my conviction
At some point, I hoped to get a vindication
This job was a vacation from my divine vocation
I had only planned for a quick gratification
But from the outcome, I made a wrong estimation
You see, day after day, I leaked perspiration
And night after night, I concealed desolation
I no longer felt the fire of His stimulation
That’s how I lost touch with His inspiration
I knew I had to depart this path to damnation
So I got on my knees and made a confession
I then decided to tender my resignation
I got back on track and accepted my vocation
He was merciful and caused a restoration
He even blessed me with a divine compensation
Now I treasure His instruction more than gratification
Take this message from my first ministration
Don’t ever let money divert your eternal destination
