ONE WAY ROAD! 

Back Then Is Now!

Back then is now and yesterday is still today even though our shadows have moved to a different spot.

Back then is now. Imagine how crazy our solar systems could get if the sun and the moon decided to run after the rolling earth!

Back then is now. Our life has been set by God and activated on a sixty seconds countdown.

This clock ticks on from the cradle to the grave! We can feel it ticking away through our heartbeats.

Back then is now! Just why do I spend all my life tirelessly trying to catch up with all my yesteryears of yesterday?

Back then is now! Sometimes the pride of life deceives a man to believe he’s in charge and a driver of his future.

Back then is now. Sometimes I sit down at a busy marketplace and just watch life overlapping life. What a sight!

If God would borrow me His lenses, I’ll be able see people of all ages walking up and down: with their longevity chronometers visibly stuck on their backs.

Back then is now! Hello my friend and how are you today?

If you’re still one of the lucky persons who hear these sweet words from a dear old friend.

I say, get up and dance like you just got married a few seconds ago!

Real friends are rarer to find than the precious minerals nowadays!

Back then is now. Feeling down and gloomy is part of life. Sometimes it rains down joy, and sometimes it thunders pain.

Back then is now and today is yesterday. Our future is harder to catch like our illusive shadows.

Will it help you if I told you, even though it’s thundering over your head... the blue sky and the sun, never stopped smiling down on you!

Back then is now! If you care to think about all the reality which surrounds us, you must chuckle at this.

The sun beaming over your head never sets, it is earth on the wheels designed to keep on spinning with you aboard.

Back then is now! The sun never says goodbye, it’s us who wave it goodnight as we welcome the night!

Like crawling babies we once were. Our present and future are just another moment inside the ambit of time.

Back then is now! The sun, the moon and the stars need us more than we’ll ever know!

Back then is now! Nobody can secure and catch up with their future. It is our future which catches up with our time at the end of our line!

From the cradle to the grave. It is the latter which keeps on howling at us, daring man to return to the dust from whence he came.

Back then is now! Life would be greater still if death hath stopped stalking us right from our mothers wombs!

Back then is now! Like chess pieces inside the chessboard, our steps keep on blindly swinging between now and then.

Back then is now, yesterday is today and my future remains anchored inside my rainbow.

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!
