CLAWING BACK TO LIVING AGAIN!

 A Word Or Two..

I got to write these lines after receiving a distressed voice message from one of my big sisters, Sonto Mabel Mohale. I have too many sisters.

Mabel and I have travelled a long way together, right back when she was my senior manager in my very first job.

My sister was in tears after suffering a lengthy emotional abuse by some members of her family. She was way stressed up in tears of emotional pain

I reached out to her and comforted with the Word of God by way of reminding her.. she needed to cast all her worries and cares upon Jesus. 

I’m glad that my big sister was able to claw back to living again and embraced the Word of God.

Like a spiritual doctor I am. I prescribed for her to read the Book of Psalms in Chapters 60 – 80 for speedy recovery and safety in arms of Jesus

So yes, 100% of this narrative was inspired by Mabel. I am glad and proud to dedicate these lines to her.

Sonto my big sister, here’s to you from the bottom of my heart.

Stay close to God by spending the rest of your life at the foot of the Cross of His Grace.

The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:

The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:

The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

God Bless You All.

This is Pikelela Speaking...


Clawing Back To Living Again!

If only you could see the guy today! It’s hard to believe we both watching and talking about the same person.

What happened to all the fanfare and hyped up false appearances of kicking it as it were?

Shame. Poor guy is down and out. And there’s nobody to even lend him a dime.

Life hit him so hard. It took his job, wife, house and car away.

Who can deny the guy is buried under the rabble of hard times?

But this guy? Hello. Did anyone of these career gossipers even care to approach and talk to the guy?

Come on Ritchie, get out of here!

I haven’t seen the guy digging for food in dustbins nor caught stealing!

The guy’s exercising regularly displaying some impressive road workouts.

He’s not emaciated at all.

Take a look at us. We’re loaded and can afford things ordinary guys can’t.

But man. We look bad and out of shape! Look at our guy.

He appears happier than us... guys who can fill three trollies with expensive groceries.

Hello. It is not necessary to eavesdrop and discover what your haters think of you!

Scram!

Today I am strutting around Gossiping Avenue.

Don’t be scared my people this whole story is real!

If the cap fits, wear it!

Clawing back to life and living again has always been my secret weapon against all jaw-breaking lies out there.

It’s easier to be struck by lightning than to catch people gossiping about you!

Oh what a miracle. The last seconds flashed before my blinking eyes confirming...

I am alive and still kicking with all fours!

Stop you coward! Do not kick a man when he’s down.

Only dead people are considered down and under!

The blue sky above my head always reminds me with glee. I am lucky to be alive!

Clawing back to living is what I do every time I inhale and exhale!

I look around to see if any of my anonymous haters are watching the Miracle-Me!

Clawing back to life and to living again as it were!

Anyone out there for some free motivation?

It is foolhardy to be always conscious of your haters instead of pressing ahead to living again.

Look ahead to your horizon!

Surrender your life to God! Be more God conscious than gossip fragile.

Never forget. Your famous and anonymous enemies... are not necessarily the enemies of God.

Back to life and back to living again is the only way of life!

Shun all false rumours and gossips about your life.

People talk all the time...

At home, at work, family even inside places of worship.

Resign yourself to the truth that yours and mine will always be bandied around.

Just keep on moving straight ahead! life’s too short to be worried about too much of 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!
