NEW YEAR'S EVE TORTURE!

 

New Year’s Eve Torture!

Every year I’m forced by the calendar to reflect on my immediate future looming in just 24hrs... I keep thinking!

What in the world is the new year going to give me? I always look forward to surviving the flaming swords. These whatabouts are more than I can bear!

God gives each person, enough time of more than 61000 hours per year to find out what exactly we want in our limited lives.

Some people survives and count their money. Others sheepishly withdraw to their sad corners and lick their wounds!

Hey. What the hell happened to all the luck allotted to my timeline?

Different strokes for different folks!

The difference is what decides the kind of stroke you end up with at the end of your day!

New Year’s Eve Torture! There’s nothing I hate in a year like the Festive Season!

Sometimes I wish I could just hibernate and sleep it off! Crazy Festive Season.... Damn!

Midnight November 30... Goodnight everybody, I’m going to sleep! See you all at the back of the new moon the second week of January.

This boy who looks like me is tired of watching all the madness unfolding before my eyes.

I mean, the real Festive Season and Christmas ended when I was ten years old!

New Year’s Eve Torture! I believe after ten years of age; every boy and girl realizes and discovers all the farce and brouhaha behind.

Why does everyone pretend to be so happy as if they’ve just landed from the moon? Happy and Merry Christmas!

If Christmas has so much influence and power to even turn enemies into friends, why not declare every day of the year a Christmas?

Just come to think of it now. If every soul under the sun reveres the Festive Season so much as to forget all about their enemies. Eureka!

New Year’s Eve Torture! This could only mean the world has been sitting on top of gold fields all this time.

Who needs enemies when we could enjoy each other so much. Am I lost or in a wrong Planet? Everybody is all sensitive not to step on another’s toes!

New Year’s Eve Torture! All my big sisters saving one, took their first glass of alcohol in the Festive Season!

One of my sisters became so drunk one Christmas she went singing all around the neighbourhood!

Me didn’t know my usually quiet sister could actually sing so unashamedly and heartedly loud!

New Year’s Eve Torture! I once met a very tired looking and despondent Santa somewhere in Middle Earth!

Hey wassup Santa? Boy oh boy, I have spent all my life giving and teaching people to live in peace!

All the warlords behind these hostilities around the world were once my harmless kids! Whoa!

New Year’s Eve Torture! Had the Lord blessed me to be like the moon.

I’d be enjoying a much shorter year. My day would be 29 and a half long earth days.

Hasta la Vista New Year’s Eve Torture!

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!
