LIVING ON THE REVERSE GEAR!

 COMMENTS... 

Even before this narrative I had already discarded about six others complete with verses and selected music. The old self in me always shows up when I'm not truly convinced my heart is in-sync with the Spirit. 

For some unknown reasons I kept this narrative in my delete box, to be considered later either for keeps or delete. Wow, then I listen to it again and instantly changed my mind. 

Sometimes, the fallible being in me shows up and causes me to doubt and ask questions... Why in the world do I bother and do this!

On the flip side of the same coin, it'd be easier for me to just hang up my pen and beat it into oblivion.. But my heart, won't let me be just as ordinary as I'd like to be. 

My heart and soul, all sold up to God! Only God knows why I must bother this world with these Thoughts and Words. 

Hello, it no longer bothers me one iota, if my audience stands aloof and never engages me about all these narratives. I'm nothing but cool bananas knowing for sure: if God is on my side who can be against me? 

Indeed, like the Spirit whispered inside my heart many moons ago.. I am writing for the grandchildren still locked inside the loins of today's 3rd Graders! 

Enjoy..

Living On The Reverse Gear!

I guess if all the people on the face of this Earth had the same mind as the Babylonians.. We’d all stick together for life!

In one voice and in one language, this proverbial generation was able to agree on everything. Building stairways to Heaven was the only way to see and meet God!

Some people think God panicked and needed to act fast and intervene for their own safety. These people didn’t have a clue just how far Heaven was from Earth.

If I must tell you the truth, Heaven and Earth are just separated by just one breath away.

You see, our world is inhibited by time and space.. Heaven is limitless and eternal!

Our world is fixed on a constant timed spin, complete with the expiry date but Heaven’s not..

God’s Restricted Zone functions beyond our comprehension. Heaven is eternal.

Living on the reverse gear is harder to comprehend after all the run-around we’ve been through.

In our puny minds time presses on while we give chase to nowhere.

When I was a baby, this world was engulfed by millions feet invading my crawling world.

In my childhood I saw nothing but a crowded environment, no matter where I went.

Living on the reverse gear! From my youth up, my world began emptying.. crowds which used to surround me dwindled drastically.

This contradicts the amount of crowds, onlookers and admirers present when I was born.

Nothing is as deceptive as the world we’re born into.. All the singing and the happy faces make you feel like a celebrity you’re not!.

Living on the reverse gear is what this complicated life is all about! My Boy-World used to be so huge and harder to imagine but today..

Unbelievable but true, we spend the whole nine months in a coiled position inside our mothers womb and spiral out at birth.

Living on the reverse. Incredibly, through the years, we slowly recoil into our foetal position as age sets in.

Take heart of grace, younger thou shalt never be.. the old adage reminds us. Growing old is the reverse of growing up.

It took a great while, over time for me to notice that sadly... while I slept, I had lost my athletic bums which used to turn ladies heads! Damn!

You laughing at me? Nobody told me about this inevitable great loss of my pride.. but my dear old friend did.. the mirror!

Living on the reverse. These are the reasons why some women refuse to rhyme with time and age.. and inject their sagging bums with unforgiving botox.

O what a tragedy! There is no secret formula in all the sciences which can reverse aging.

Even if there was, people would still die every time death knocked on their doors!

It’ll help a great deal for all people to surrender to Mother Nature... allow her to do as she pleases with our bodies.

Living on the reverse, nobody warned me as a young man that growing older is as ugly as aging!

Hello, a baby born just 24 hours ago, is already in this reverse mode.

Babies are born completely wrinkled like real aged folks.

This serves as a warning, we’re born at sunset, grow up through sunrise.. and finally metamorphose into sunset!

Living on the reverse gear. Dying is recoiling into our original foetal position.

The living know they will die one day but the dead know nothing!

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!
