PIKELELA GUTYUNGWA MEMOIRS

FOREWORD! I'd like to express my sincerest apologies for being unable to help the majority of my audience understand what's being chanted in these Praises for my one and only Grandson. I wrote these Praises in my native Xhosa Language simply because they'd have made no sense had I wrote them in English. Some things for us as Africans, in life carries more meaning and sense if written in our own Language as it carries the whole history of our Ancestors and Family Origins.  I come from the Myirha Clan in Queenstown, Eastern Cape, among many different Clans in our Xhosa Nation. All the ancestral names chanted in their generational order signify the origin of our family name: GUTYUNGWA. This is no different from what we read in the Book of Matthew Chapter One citing the Genealogy of Christ. It is important for me as an African and a Born Again Christian to know where my Forefathers came from. I wrote these Praises for my First Grandson, Anathi Gutyungwa when he was born in 2020...

  PREFACE I thought I should share with you all, just how this Lamentation for my Big Brother I wrote in November 18th 2021: has captured the hearts of all my Sympathizers from all around the World.

Love, Hugs and Kisses to all my Friends in South Africa and from around the World: for sharing my tearful loss. This is the Reprise and the celebration of my late Big Brother who's looking lovingly from the skies above.   November 18, 2021 (Standing) Big Brother: Fanyana T. Gutyungwa 07/07/53 - 26/06/2018 THE FINAL EIGHT HOURS…BEFORE MIDNIGHT! I have a million memories I can share with the world, on the amazing journey with my Big Brother. My Brother was everything in my world, since it was through his very eyes that got mine opened, to all the reality in my empty and infantile one, this w...

Last Night My Lighthouse Dimmed Off Forever! Of all the people God brought into my life, no one remains brighter than my Dearest Brother-in law. Our mortal life as humans, is completely made out of a summary of our days: and the total of all those who left an indelible mark in our souls! People cross our paths every single day, and the same pass on as if nothing changed in our atmosphere: and so, we forget them. Then, there are those who cross our paths and remain in our souls for a lifetime! I knew my Brother-in law from my childhood, as a naïve kid in our neighbourhood. Moses enjoyed playing good football and, as young kids we looked up to him for inspiration. Well, as life would have it; Moses fell in love with my Big Sister: Lala, and I approved of their relationship! Ha-ha, believe me now: in my Book of Thoughts; I did. Looking back, I can still see my Big Sister sprinting into our house: with Moses hot in pursuit of her after Lala had been naughty. As the LORD liveth, I a...

  HEBREWS CHAPTER ONE God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the Fathers by the Prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son, whom He hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the Worlds. Who being the Brightness of His Glory, and the express image of His Person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high? Being made so much better than the Angels, as He hath by Inheritance obtained a more Excellent Name than they. For unto which of the Angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I Begotten Thee? And again, I will be to Him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? And again, when He bringest in the Firstbegotten into the World, He saith, And let all the Angels of God worship Him . And of the Angels He saith, Who maketh His Angels Spirits, and His Ministers a Flame of Fire. But unto the Son He saith, T...

Well, let's just say I'm very pathetic when it comes to new inspiration! Every time the Spirit moves me, I really have to obey God and do His Will and that is, writing for you. The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, it's impossible for me to put out this candle once the LORD has lit it up: cause if I did, I'd lose it forever! Hello World, here's one from me with African Greetings and Blessings from Above! And thank you from the bottom of my heart Keiko Matsui, for sharing your wonderful talent with the World! I've been trying to write lyrics for this amazing gem for a very long, long time, thank God; yesterday the snow flakes of Heaven fell over my head and shoulders.   IN THE BEGINNING WAS MUSIC! In the Beginning was Music and Music was with God and the Music was God. Music became Flesh and audible Beat for the People to dance and move to, in order to get closer and personal with the Original Beat! There was this Man who lived in the desert for all hi...

ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE! It's hard for a mortal like me to stand out in a crowd and say, I know God: and God is my Friend while struggling to get along with my aloof brothers! This alone reminds me, I'm just a speck of dust who can't even understand his own kind in the eyes of Almighty God! God never called us to understand His mind and thoughts because He knows we don't have that capacity in ourselves. As an avid writer, I know for a fact that, there's nothing brand new I can pen which will leave God breathless. Who and what am I that can get God bothered about me? Is it possible for this man, even to steal a tenth of a millisecond and digress God to pay attention to me only: out of more than Seven Billion Souls in the World? The mind boggles every time I listen to some Christians bragging about their closest proximity to God. Shocking! All the days of my life and every day: like the Proverbial Publican praying alongside the Pharisee in the Temple: I step bac...

  PEACE INSIDE THE HEARTS EQUALS PEACE ALL AROUND! Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colours. And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him. And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more. And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying. This World, the World of Adam we live in; has never experienced genuine Godly Peace since the spilling of the first human blood when the jealous-driven Cain murdered his brother Abel in cold blood! Peace is the absence of war: we’re told in this weakest definition for Peace. Israel or Jacob and his twelve sons is the classical example of how the bitterness of the heart in the sons of men always lead to murder. Israel by God’s design was destined to produce the Twelve Tribes of Israel through his seed and Josep...
