PIKELELA GUTYUNGWA MEMOIRS

   LET'S GO ! One fine evening in Iraq, and in the dead of the night… a seventy-five-year-old man was snoring heavily: resting after a gruesome and demanding day. Suddenly and in the stillness of the night, the LORD God Almighty: gate crushed His way into the old man’s world! Abram, get up now… and Let’s Go! Now, Abram didn’t have a clue who the LORD God was: given his idol-worshipping upbringing he had from his father Terah, incredibly but true: the man obeyed the voice of God! Would you believe it if I told you that Abram, packed up the very next morning and took off with his family: to who-knows-where! Let’s Go Abram… pack your bags and follow me forthwith! One more thing, the LORD God declared: from henceforth, your name shall be called Abraham! Hearing the voice of the Living God; was as refreshing as sitting under a waterfall in the hottest summer day for Abraham! Let’s Go… is more than just a slogan to God! Let’s Go.. is the operative word, a verb calling all people

 Praise Singing and Tribute For My Late Brother Mhlangabezi Welcome Gutyungwa (09/10/1960 - 03/10/2022) Welcome is the last big brother of mine to pass away this time around... I have lost three big brothers within the space of four years. This then puts me on the pedestal to lead the flock of my late father, Fuyizizwe William Gutyungwa. I have always led from the front even when my big brother, Fanyana Gutyungwa was still alive. Welcome is the second son of my father, and I am the fourth. I apologize profusely once more, to all and sundry; for writing this Tribute in my Xhosa Language... it can only make sense if I stick to our tradition. This is one of those hardest times for me to write in English because every word of my narrative is thought out after my Xhosa Traditional Waves! Thank you for your understanding.... LITAXA-TAXA LIKA TATA ELI! Kuz’ kubekho Mna, imbewu kaTata yangqubana neqanda lobom esibelethweni sikaMama, kwabakho intshukumo yogqabho-dubul’ eyandulel’ ukubola ok

  365 Days Plus! What your eye sees, the brain keeps! The mind is the effective application of the brain… a working verb, calling all the other members of the body to action as required! To a blind person, their hearing, feeling, and touching are enhanced to compensate for their loss of sight. I find it very strange that even though God has given us all these incredible senses to navigate our world: our emotions always seem to be operating off the grid and beyond common logic! Our emotions have this amazing ability to override our common sense and always leave us confused with this highly charged guilty conscience. 365 Days Plus…   my God given nature to always be in pursuit of the sunshine and peaceful moments in my darkest hours of the night! Falling asleep and keeping myself awake is the rat race I’ll be battling against for the rest of my life. 365 Days Plus… my God added value happening occasionally at every even numbered fourth year. This is my heartbeat forever anchored

  The Point Of Grace! The history of mankind is littered with amazing stories of men who experienced and met their Point of Grace head on. Unfortunately, some rebellious men missed God’s Midnight Cry in their final hour this side of Heaven and paid dearly. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God being unreconciled with Him. And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the Judgment. Just like in our race to life at conception, God blessed us with His Grace culminating into our glorious birth on these earthly shores. The Point of Grace is the Day of Reckoning when God draws the final line for the sinner to choose between Life and Death: Light or Darkness! This line is a border where the man is granted the final chance to repent before Eternity Curtains descend upon him! The Point of Grace is God’s Final Clarion Call for man to repent from his sins. Our God is the God of Justice and the One True God! Come on Home, this is your last chance to ret

    SYDNEY'S WISDOM CHEST 1.0! The distance between Heaven and Earth is only a hairsbreadth away. Our lives and understanding are determined by and limited to the Laws of Physics: our world is our prison. We're forever inhibited as the atomic creatures... our knowledge of God has inadvertently reached its zenith point. Man’s obsession with remote space he cannot occupy is as old as life. Old Lucifer in all his matchless glory still desired to occupy just one more space: the Throne of the Almighty God! His covetous sin to go one step higher than the God who created him became his eternal destruction! King David after conquering and having conquered, had no more wars to prove his iconic pedigree of all conquests in war history of Israel... still inexplicably and surprisingly; he killed his faithful soldier Uriah, and stole his wife. David, if you needed a dozen more wives, I'd have given them to you, God lamented David's fall from Grace! Greed is not a lack of any

  Everyday Jesus For Everyday People! Everyday Jesus was funnier than you'll ever care to know! The Man from Galilee had a great sense of humour, dig a little into the Scriptures and you'll find out... let me help you a bit! What shall I liken this generation? They are like little children sitting at the marketplace calling unto their fellows... we played pipes for you, and you didn't dance; we mourned unto you, and you didn't weep! Though funny as this may have sounded, Jesus was dead serious about how disappointed He was with the disbelief He found in the cities where even more miracles were performed. You see, common people were the lifeblood of the Everyday Jesus... nothing moved His heart with compassion more than when He saw people with needs and trapped inside the quagmire of sin! Everyday Jesus for Everyday People! I came to seek and to find the lost everyday people. I am the Way, the Truth and the Life... I have a burning compassion for the outcasts,

  I LOVED THE MAN! Just where do I begin to tell about my Epic Story with The Man from Galilee; is deeper than I can reach? The Man showed up from nowhere one bright morning. My fishing partners and I, John and James; were busy washing and sorting our nets after toiling the whole night without a single catch! The man just boarded our ship and asked us to thrust into the sea a little bit; then sat down and taught the crowds. The Man had such a commanding voice with authority I've never heard from the lips of any man! It was not surprising for us to quickly obey without asking questions. By this time, my partners and I had stopped washing our tired nets as we joined the crowd and listened to this Incredible Man. Every word the Man uttered came out powerfully and reverberated with the Truth, never heard before. Launch out into the deep and cast your nets for a draught, said the Man after teaching the crowds. We looked at each other in disbelief since it was already late to fis
