LIFE BEGINS WITH A HEARTBEAT!


 LIFE BEGINS WITH A HEARTBEAT!

As thou knowest not what is the Way of the Spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the Womb of Her that is With Child: even so thou knowest not the Works of God Who Maketh All. Life Begins with a Heartbeat and Ends without one!

I sat down on a very Cold Winter day, as a matter of fact, I was all prepared, and dressed up for this Shivering Weather: when I observed a tiny and almost Invisible Insect crouching on the wall. 

This guy had nothing on except his Tiny Wings for a covering in this jaw-breaking cold day and yet there was Life in him. Sometimes, God laughs and mocks us for thinking we’re Giants.

A Tiny Stammering Voice broke thru its Embryonic Walls even long before it achieved its Foetal Stages. Its cries became louder and louder till they grew into soft knocks behind the Throne of the Almighty God in Heaven. God heard the knocks and answered the Door.

Now, in case you don’t know this Truth; God’s Throne is made up of Issues of Life where each colour tumbles a gazillion times over without repeating previously displayed colours for Eternities to come! This is where all Forms of Life Originate! This is the Glory of God in its Fullest Definition: LIFE… Always remember this!

The Embryonic Figurine said: Dear God, I just want to live, if you’d let me? God smiled back and said: Yes, Living You Will, even though your Life will be Full of Complications. All I need is a Heartbeat in order to live LORD, graciously pleaded the Tiny Figurine.

Months later a Tiny Boy resembling his Original Tiny Embryo was born, they named him Lunga. Lunga means Everything will be Alright. Lunga was born to my Late Big Brother and Grace, his mother. My Journey with Lunga is Legendary. 

I was always involved in one way or another, wherever and whatever his Mother Grace asked me to do on Lunga’s behalf. I just loved the Boy and so our Journey of a Million Miles began; and after three decades later, we’re still together. 

I cannot begin to tell you, just how much Pain My Lunga had to go through; even as a Tiny Baby: the Boy pressed on and held onto Life as God promised him to Live on! Lunga, due to his Health Challenges, has been in and out of Hospitals more than I can remember. Like an Epilithic Plant, his Roots shot thru Rocks Against All Odds.

The Boy has a Million-Dollar Smile and so Full of Zest and Confidence beyond Comprehension. Lunga knows every single day he wakes up in the Morning is like hearing God saying, over and over again: Yes, Living You will. 

Lunga just bows his head and says: Thank you LORD for the Heartbeat YOU gave me! Glad to be Alive, no amount of Pain shall stop me from keeping this Heartbeat. 

My Life began with a Heartbeat and one Fine Day, I’ll shoot through Fifty years of age! My name is Lunga: Everything will be Alright; Yesterday, Today and Forever..

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!
