Have you ever imagined what it would feel like to actually have a glimpse of what destiny holds for you today? Funny? Actually, I must admit, it is rather wishful thinking, a getaway lane to an illusory world, at best.
Some fellows have somewhat devised a way of hoodwinking unsuspecting, desperate and gullible seekers into believing that they possess the power to see into the future. There are so many conspiracy theories on this issue. I have seen people who so much trust in the authenticity of these predictions (emphasis mine) that if you dared to dissuade them from accepting as true what they’ve been told, you’d be incurring the wrath of their rather ‘powerless’ self.
I ask, who cannot ‘prophesy’? I have said so many things out of sheer boredom that turn out to be true at the end of the day. Doesn’t that make me a transferee of the authority given to Isaiah? Could I not be likened to one of the direct descendants of Elijah?
Hear this. I was with a friend the other night and all of a sudden, she goes ‘this electricity would go
off right about now’ Loo and Behold, it happened! The birth of a soothsayer! If she does this with impeccable precision for a couple of times, she could pass off as a clairvoyant, wont her?
Well, I understand the gullibility of this people. Who wouldn’t want to know what happens the next minute, considering the tried, tested and trusted nature of their ‘works’?
Herein lays the mischief. I am a very strong follower of coincidental happenings when it comes to this matter. The fact that you make a prediction and it comes to pass does not make you a seer. Chance. As the holy book puts it, the race is not to the swift...nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all. It goes on to say that for man also know not his time...
So why would a man lay claim to an ability to see into the future? Why would a person think because he has done this- once, twice, he now has the audacity to declare himself a prophet? So what is the whole essence of my existence if a being could tell me what the future holds for me? (so that I can either make amends in the present to enjoy the future or otherwise)
To me, life is like different pages of a novel; you never know what is on the other page until you flip
the leaf.
But then, I wish...

if, if we claim we can talk to God and he can hear us, or indeed that there is a God, if we claim a lot of other seemingly strange things and believe in their authenticity, i for one refuse to fault anybody who claims he or she can see into the future. i think, each to his own, if u claim u can, maybe u can, maybe u can't, it truly is of no bother to me.
i would love that gift tho;)
