THESE WORDS AND THESE LINES ARE MINE!

 


THESE WORDS AND THESE LINES ARE MINE

A man at 60, needs the confidence of a 6-year-old boy; woman at 50, needs the enthusiasm of a 3-year-old girl! At 70, most people gradually withdraw from life reality! 

Life would be greater and better still if God allowed us to live it backwards whenever we hit the brick wall: how nice and fulfilling this would have been! I’d give the World back to God if I’d be able to live mine backwards. 

But alas, like the Sun which has been standing still since Day One of God’s Creation: only the Earth keeps on turning in front of the Sun. Our lives cannot be lived backwards, forward is the only nature of Time.

These Words And These Lines Are Mine! I am original and I have said it. 

Life is both fascinating and frightening, to be able to walk around without batteries below my spine; makes me wanna catch the tail I don’t have! 

Our World is one gigantic pool which God filled with gazillion words for us to dive in and fish them out. God’s World is made up of words: His World does not need bricks and mortar to be seen and felt in real time.  

These Words And These Lines Are Mine! I am original and I have said it.

Whenever and whatever I write, words just pop out of my brain like hairs out of my cleanly shaved head. It is less of thinking and more of writing. I write music through the tips of my fingers. 

I am a natural in every sense of the word and to my delightful self: enjoy as words detach themselves from my mind and jump to script. God knows I love this! 

These Words And These Lines Are Mine! I am original and I have said it.

 I am the symphony: the beat, the harmony and the melody.... the finest result of the heavenly passionate orchestra which took place between my mother and father one fine sweet dark night. 

Every word of mine scripted and posted for the World to see, represents my legacy and selfless contribution to the sobriety of all societies across the Universe. World…. I’ve been thinking about You!

Yesterday forever loiters inside my memories whilst the Future remains conjugated in my horizon Today! 

Our lives as humans are forever stuck to our Yesterday: life lived yesteryear, forever lingers in our brains keeping us wondering what the Future might hold for us! 

Why we always see our future in the context of our Yesterday? I don’t know. This will remain a mystery to me till I go to my grave.

I live in a circular world and life is a continuous cycle: I have gotten used to being dizzy when things get Topsy-Turvy! 

Finding myself on the wrong side of Time has become a part of my existence and the older I get, the less I find this strange life shocking. 

Our World is an oyster full of surprises which have become all too common and familiar for some of us to even take notice! Who cares? I don’t!

Counting your stars every night is like counting your blessings! You've had better days than bad ones, more successes than failures! You're Blessed! 

If you care to take a minute and look around, before you complain to God: there’s always someone and some people worst off than the situation you think you’re in.

Whatever you're going through...keep on dreaming because this is what keeps your heart beating: if you stop dreaming, you become a dead man walking just waiting to be buried! Felons condemned to death also dream of being free someday.  

I am the symphony: the beat, the harmony and the melody: the very ink and paper of my words…I own and eat them every day!

“Words mean more than what is set down on paper. It takes the human voice to infuse them with deeper meaning.” cried Maya Angelou!

 These Words And These Lines Are Mine! I am original and I have said it. The symphony, the beat, the harmony and the melody…I am!

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!
