Sitting
at the doctor’s clinic
Kozbi was scanning
through his report which he had just collected.
He felt his anger
flare up
He quickly crumpled his
medical report,
Grabbed his walking stick
And slowly
lifted himself from the chair .
He closed
his eyes to shut the intense pain which engulfed him
And he shuffled
his way out of the door.
Walking
dejectedly he slowly made his way to the park close by
He plonked
himself on an empty bench
And absentmindedly
he gazed across the green meadow.
This is the
sixth time this year his leg was causing him so much pain
Just when he
thought he could start his normal life again
It would
start troubling him all over again.
His finances
also was hit because of it and he sat fuming till
His knuckles
turned red with exertion.
He kept
searching his mind for an answer.
“I am in
perfect health and with no broken bones where did this recurring pain come from?”
he kept asking himself.
A
realization just struck him.
“I am under
attack!” He exclaimed out loud.
And he
turned his head side to side
He muttered
under his breath
“It won't work!
It won't work!”
“Devil!” he
said out aloud to no one in particular
“It won’t
work.”
No weapon
formed against me will prosper!
He decreed
and declared.
Isaiah
54:17
King
James Version
17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall
prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt
condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me,
saith the Lord.
“No weapon
formed against my leg or finances will prosper! “.He spoke out fiercely.
Gently
pulling himself up
He walked
back home dragging his aching foot forward.
Found the
key to his shop and slowly made his way down the road.
He then
proceeded to open the shop that was shut for the past six months.
He started
dusting and cleaning hopping on one leg
Seeing the
shop finally open after being shut for such a long time
His
neighbors and friends started trickling in.
Seeing the
intense pain on his pale face every time he moved
“Mr. Kozbi! You haven’t
recovered at all!” they exclaimed.
He nodded “Yes,
I am not going to succumb to the enemy's attack anymore.
I am going
to stand up to him even if it’s on one leg!” He stated emphatically.
He immediately
winced in pain, when his injured foot accidently hit the leg of a table.
The
dumbstruck neighbors suddenly realized what was going on.
“Don’t worry
Mr. Kozbi, they said.
You just sit
and let us help you.
You can
treat us as your unpaid employees
We will work
for you till your leg gets better again.”
Kozbi
relaxed on hearing that and gave them a beaming smile.
“You are not
going to defeat me devil I am going to win each and every time.” he thought to himself.
He then
proceeded to sit down on his chair and watch his helpful neighbors clean up the
place.
