Yusuf
had only one aim
A
burning desire
To
give his people a better life in the blazing desert
One
day when he went looking for pearls in the deep sea
He
met the white man who had arrived in the big boat.
The
man parted goodbye by giving him the book of life
Yusuf
spent days studying it in his tent
He
came across this verse
Isaiah 41:18 CJB
I will open up rivers on the barren hills
and wells down in the broad valleys. I will turn the desert into
a lake and dry ground into springs.
He meditated upon those words day and night
“Lord if what you say is true show me how to turn
this desert into springs of water”.he prayed day and night.
He kept having dreams to dig deep into the scotching
sand
Bearing the ridicule of the community he kept
digging
His hard work found bitumen rocks lacing the entire
region beneath the sand
Something told him to keep digging way below the
rocks
After a month of digging his hands struck fresh
flowing water beneath the rocks
The joy of the community knew no bounds as they
reached out to help him draw the water out
In the midst of the celebration he had a
visitor
It was none other than his friend from the boat
Who spoke to him in great excitement.
They had discovered oil in the depths of the ocean
His gleaming eyes looked searchingly till it rested
on the book.Since then he never stopped reading, believing,
building....the city rocks on...
In all splendour and glitter all because one
man believed there is power in the book of life.
