GOING NOWHERE SLOWLY!

 

Going Nowhere Slowly!

Your proud life in the world can never be an isolated carefree standalone. They say, no man is an Islander. Life needs life in order to keep the heart beating.

Our lives are self evident and proof beyond any science; that our hearts are the grid which sustains our survival as humans. So zestful I wanna catch the tail I don’t have!

Going nowhere slowly is not just an empty sloganeering or mythical figure of speech. Going nowhere slowly is a fact of life.. factoring on matters!.

It’s humanly impossible to be alone in your own thoughts without framing other people and the world all around. Whatever must be done and whatever happens takes place in a circle of others.

Going nowhere slowly doesn’t depend on speed needed or the distance to be traveled. Like our heartbeats, one step a time is all it takes.

O yes, there it is! Tomorrow I need to leave my house early in order to catch the queue at Home Affairs. Once I get there .. it’s a going nowhere slowly.

Going nowhere slowly. Did you know that whatever place you go to, one has to adjust to the order and decorum of that house or business.

Human behaviour is subject to all kinds of moral ethics. Hello. You can’t just kick-open my door because you wanted to greet me! What happened to your mannerisms?

Patience is one of the greatest virtues we can’t survive without. Alone in my thoughts I have already mapped up how to get what I need. But hey, wait a minute!

The person on the other side of the counter hasn’t even heard your case!

Going nowhere slowly is a fact of life. We all need each other in order to keep the world turning. Generosity  is a giant tree where we all meet. Random acts of kindness locked into our souls

You just can’t say, I don’t care what other people think, I’m going to get what I want by whatever means. Dream on, I say to you! Nobody will pay attention to you if everything must be done according to your gospel.

Going nowhere slowly is a lifeline we get from others in order to help ourselves. We give to give in order to have the same favour returned our way. Life is life when shared with others.

Some egocentric parents have this bad proclivity of raising their kids as if their home is all the world they’ll ever live in. I trained my kids not to accept help from anybody, they’d foolishly brag.

Going nowhere slowly! How can it be right for your kids to act as welfare for others and be wrong for them to receive favour from the same? It takes the whole stretch of mind for one to survive in this world

Going nowhere slowly. Let me jog your memory, there are eight billion souls in this universe. It’s mind boggling to even imagine how much patience and virtue you need to live with the rest of us.

Come on man slow down! Life is a marathon! I am going nowhere slowly. Are you coming with me?

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!
