PHILEMON WAS AND STILL IS: MY FRIEND IN A MILLION!

 


PHILEMON WAS AND STILL IS: MY FRIEND IN A MILLION!

While sitting this one evening watching TV and minding my business: taking it easy, after all: I’ve been very busy writing about so many different subjects. Sometimes, I feel somewhat guilty after pushing my body and mind to the limit but in a way: it’s just the way God has made my life to be. I struggle to stay calm and shut-off my brain: I felt my spirit moving and reminding me of My Late Friend whom I loved with all my soul and mind. The two of us were like David and Jonathan: our hearts blended like tea and milk!

Philemon Was And Still Is: My Friend In A Million! Though many years have passed between us since My Dear Friend took leave to his early grave: my heart hasn’t forgotten him. Philemon Was And Still Is: My Friend In A Million. I miss him dearly!

In my whole life, I have less than a handful people I’ve considered as my friends due to lack of close proximity and soulful connection. I do not stand aloof nor shun other people but always do my best to reach out to each person God brings into my life. Perhaps, I failed to connect or consider some as close friends due to their preferred class which turned me off and so, I walked away. I am not the one given to beg friendship or to be loved by some mortals who have their heads stuck in the clouds: I can’t reach them. Philemon wasn’t like that: he was my friend indeed!

Philemon Was And Still Is: My Friend In A Million! Though many years have passed between us since My Dear Friend took leave to his early grave: my heart hasn’t forgotten him. Philemon Was And Still Is: My Friend In A Million. I miss him dearly!

Philemon and I had a lot in common; we shared each other’s problems: when my car broke down, Philemon lent me his car to be able to go to work. Our friendship and bonds were stronger than the Siamese Twins: nothing in the World could separate us except death. One day I was told that my friend was sick in the hospital and before I could even visit him: Philemon suddenly passed away and left me with these tears which have lasted a lifetime. Only God knows just how much I miss my Dear Friend. His passing broke my heart into a thousand pieces so much so, I couldn’t even find his address and got lost while trying to attend his funeral.

A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. Philemon was closer to me than life itself, I have so many signposts which remind me of his kind-heartedness and warm smile which always assured me: it’ll be alright Sydney, I am here now!

Philemon Was And Still Is: My Friend In A Million! Though many years have passed between us since My Dear Friend took leave to his early grave: my heart hasn’t forgotten him. Philemon Was And Still Is: My Friend In A Million. I miss him dearly!

Though now resting comfortably on the bosom of Father Abraham one day, just one day: we’ll meet again in God’s Presence. Philemon in my heart and Philemon in Heaven!

MY BABY.... SHE'S ALL I GOT!

Feelings, in whatever mood matter sometimes.. . If I must open the window of my heart and let you see the real backdrop behind this narrative... this is it. After being let down by my first daughter and after we've agreed for her to meet her little sister for the very first time... I was very distraught. She withdrew at the last minute. I went to bed with a very heavy heart. I believe the Spirit whispered inside my sad heart these sweet words in the dead of the night. I tossed and turned as I began to listen to my heart, comforting and propping and lifting me higher than I thought I could ever climb. Everything else is history after this amazing encounter of wrestling with these incredible words and lines in my heart. Waking up the following morning was nothing but a formality as I began to smooth all the way to my last verse. Yes, yes... She's My Baby and She's All I Got ! Reflections, realignment, retracing and recollections of the life spectacled usually incognito to the

IN PURSUIT OF A DREAM!

In Pursuit Of A Dream!   Life is great and life is hard! Life is cruel and life is not fair! These are some of the most common overtones heard daily from Space. If the Almighty were to afford you a rare chance to sit on top of the Globe for one day: you like God, will hear these conjectures coming from the corridors of life below.   We live in the noisiest and the most congested Planet as humans. If God had offered a choice to parents in which Planet, they’d wish to have their babies born. Our population would not have risen to Eight Billion Souls as it were.   There are thousands of adverbs used to describe the very life we’re all part of. Life is subject to individual’s interpretation the same had gone through this twisting and endless labyrinth of Human Race and Pilgrimage to nowhere .   Once upon a time. In the busiest day for parents and their kids, who had excelled after their twelve yearlong school of education and gained their deserved university entrance pass.  Thi

SO, YOU THINK YOU HAVE A COVENANT WITH GOD?

COMMENTS ... Sometimes, to think that I'm in charge of what I write, where and when I like: is just a wish.  Yesterday I wrote a complete Soweto June 16th Uprisings Tribute.. two hours later, I've had to delete the whole thing. Why? Because l had no witness of the Spirit in my heart.  Well, that's just me! God gave me all these Thoughts and Words to play with the rest of my life. I have gazillion words to play around with.  This narrative came over me early this morning. I felt like God was reminding me of the Covenant between Him and Jesus.  Kenneth Copeland and all the false teachers dance around their mega churches and brag about the Covenant they never had.  I'm always left speechless whenever I see thousands run behind false teachers and false prophets as if they cannot read the Bible for themselves.  I follow Jesus in His Word and nobody else. I am the addict of the Doctrine of Christ!  Nothing fascinates and moves my heart and soul like the anointed Word of God!
