PIKELELA GUTYUNGWA MEMOIRS

  THY MONEY PERISH WITH THEE! Money is mentioned some 125 times in the whole Bible: with the Old Testament leading with some 101 mentions and the New Testament limping behind with only 24 references.  I thought you'd be interested to know that there are four verses in Genesis 17 referencing Money as down payments for slaves.  Slavery is as old as man: Slavery was never God's idea but men's way of bragging about their wealth! The ultimate weapon to lord over the poor!  Believe it or not, Money is quoted some 32 times more in the Book of Genesis than in all the other 65 Books of the Bible. Thy Money Perish with Thee: the Genesis of Sin and the Genesis of All Evils found their roots in the love of Money! The Psalmist and the Wise Man did not value Money more than Life itself since it gets mentioned only once in both Books of Psalms and Proverbs.  Job and Ecclesiastes agreed too, after referencing Money only twice. Thy Money Perish with Thee: the Genesis of ...

  A CRY FROM THE WILDERNESS OF MY HEART! God made man out of dust and there the man lay still and lifeless.  God carved the woman from the man's rib such a great skill of art and workmanship: God took His time, a great deal of His time, leaning back once in a while: glanced smilingly over His Artwork; The Woman, His Beauty.. Finely and carefully adjusting, tweaking her image to match His Divine Beauty.  The woman was the very first Miracle, the very first Beauty God saw.   God breathed into man's nostrils to give him life but used the woman's body to breathe through: and to bring new life into the World .   Every time God breathes, a woman gives birth to a new life: a baby is born into these earthly shores! Every sober man and boy, must hang their heads in shame: when it comes to this shameful reality that women and girls: are the most trafficked in this God-damned World!  Man in his dismal failure to think and see like God has sunken so low and corru...

    THROUGH A GLASS.. She woke up one morning feeling dizzy and nauseating.   “There’s got to be a reason for this dread feeling” she thought to herself...and o’, there it is! “I must be pregnant, pregnant again!” After all, the woman had been through this odd feeling,   and felt this dyspeptic overcast, at least seven times before. And so, she waited patiently for nine long months. The woman was my Mother! While She waited ominously for nine long months: nothing stood between the two, but time. Imagination of time only as She continued daily to caress her unborn baby tenderly through her soft fingers, scaling her rounded stomach with hope-filled smiles. Sometimes She’d giggle softly and laugh out loud without anybody detecting her ovulated strange burps. In a room full of people, She lived in her own World. Then one day, time stood by and gave way: as her water reached maximum temperature: bursting through the seams of her motherly womb. A...

  SHE'S ROYAL: SHE'S, MY PRINCESS! Like a Beautiful Diamond She's the Cut above the rest: I wouldn't have asked God for a more Defining Moment in my life!  Yanga quietly landed inside her mom's womb and remained stealthily quiet till her mom complained.  “Syd, I can't feel my baby moves inside, she's all too quiet: I must see the doctor?” After fruitlessly trying to convince her otherwise I yielded, and off to the doctor we went; where I was vindicated there was nothing unusual with my unborn Princess. God gave her to us for keeps and for God to keep her safe. Yanga is my Gift from God Above. The LORD smiled down on me the day She landed on these earthly shores with a plop! She’s Royal: She’s, my Princess! Like a Beautifully Cut Diamond Yanga, my Princess has the Brilliance, the Fire and the Clarity of the Deep Blue Sea: She’s Royal to Me!   Most people in the world, pride themselves in their riches, wealth and all their material worth but me? Nah, I t...

  MEMOIRS OF MY SON! A youthful wet-behind-the-ear-newbie and the not-so-experienced freshman in the job market: and in a new world where everything looked like furniture! Yes o' yes, that’d be Sydney: I kid you not. Wow, come closer, yea, it's him: it’s Sydney! If only someone could know, I was so scared to even go inside that Great Ward where my Prince was born! Inside the ward, there waited excitedly, my Big Brother, Mother-in law, my Sister-in law and can’t recall who else. This private ward was packed with excited faces indeed, my Son was loved: even before showing a tinge of hair from his birth canal. I was the only scarecrow. I got harshly pushed to the front by my Big Brother: Go, go, go ! I opted for the worst and stood holding the hands of my wife, screaming so loud that I, even me: stopped imagining her pains. She grabbed my poor hands with so much clawed power I thought she was going to break them into pieces. I hurt! After eternally surviving the clawed pain,...

     SO  YOU THINK WE LEAVE IN A FREE WORLD: THINK AGAIN? I’ve been thinking this lately, when I looked around our material universe how most of the things used would be tossed to trash: no matter how useful they were?  So, like a Billionaire examines his newest acquisition: The Earth, yep that’s right. Before Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, it had been literary possessed by Sixteen People.  So, by the look of things, would Twenty People be too suggestive to you? Methinks not! Believe it or not, we live in the sold-out World: You just don’t see! Would you run to the Hills stopping your ears in complete disbelief: if I told you the very first attempted sale of the Earth took place in the Bible?  And the Devil taking Him up on high mountain, showed Him all the Kingdoms of the World in a moment of time.  And the Devil said unto Him all this power will I give unto thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whosoever I will give i...
