Since primary school, I witnessed how my family fought a dispute over a land owned by our ancestors. The lot is quite big and the enemies are even bigger. It didn’t just cost my parents time and effort but also our money! Worst, while my parents lead the case in court, we received death threats from unknown source. So many things happened and I can say its traumatic. Maybe I’m just blessed (or lucky) to be always ready in survival modes.
It’s a constant battle over these lands which are rightfully ours against the greedy, selfish businessmen who always depend on the power of money. And sometimes I’m losing hope to claim those lands again knowing the current justice system in our country. And note, the case is still ongoing.
And so I decided that someday I will also have a land of my own legally without anyone being oppressed. And that day finally came! With God's blessing I got the chance to buy my own, the first! The house and lot is not that big but I believe in the power of small beginnings. Though its not yet the house and lot where I'm planning to settle in the future, the purpose will be for my future investments. Indeed Mark 11:24 holds true "Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours”. To more lands to be acquired!
