Afri-Tunes Week 57 || Poured Out - Elijah Oyelade (cover) by @jessicaossom

Hello, Afri-Tunes community. I trust that you are all doing well and this post finds you hale and hearty.

Today, for week 57, I will sing a song by Elijah Oyelade titled Poured Out.

Although the song has simple lyrics, it is a powerful spiritual song. In the first line, it says, "Oh what grace and mercy, what amazing love that you have poured out on me."

By the way, power supply has been terrible here, so I had to wake up in the midnight when I saw light to get this video done hehe.

Prior to singing this song, I thought about my life and realized how merciful the Lord has been to me.

Over a year ago, I needed a place near where I worked as a fitness instructor. The problem I faced was a lack of affordable housing options in the area. Additionally, many of the places I did find were in undesirable neighborhoods which I was not comfortable with.

I decided to search for an apartment in a totally different location (Far from where I was working). In the end, I weighed the options and decided it was a risk I could take.

All I had in mind at that time was to try and survive on Hive until I was able to get an alternative job. I had a lot of things on my mind back then and felt overwhelmed.

I had to remind myself of that one person that could put everything in order for me and that person is God.

The Lord sustained me even before I got a remote job as an editor.

There were times I would spend the last money I had and God provided just like he is still doing now.

I have big dreams, and I know I have not achieved all I want to achieve. I believe in the wonder-working of God whose grace has been sufficient for me to do wonders in my life.

I'm not there yet, but I am better than before and I know I will get there.

Oh, what grace and mercy. Even when I did not deserve it, he made sure it was sufficient for me.

This is why I sang this song.

I hope it blesses you.
