PROJECT TWINKLE : YOU ARE SOMEONE'S SHINING STAR

I stretch my finger in accusation at an acquaintance.

Why look down on people of low estate,

Why cringe at the mention of areas perceived as slum in the metropolis,

How dare You! Why won’t you do something?

So wealth is fearful of the masses, that’s why it resides only in your bosom,

May I ask to partake of the crumbs that roll off your table?

It is no value to you but your cast off makes tomorrow bearable for one like me.

I am deficient now don’t mean my future isn’t shining like the twinkle star,

Even when I wonder what I am now,

One day I might convince myself that despite dirty rags that now clings my skin,

And growling stomach about to devour its neighborly intestines and liver as food,

I may just believe that I am that diamond in the sky.

But now I need help to stay the dripping faucet that calls itself my shelter,

The holes in my tent are like observatory I often gaze the heavens, waiting!

Hoping that I am not forgotten here in the cold or baked by the scathing sun,

Maybe today I may receive a miracle from an unfamiliar hand.

Like Joseph, I may be called by a Good Samaritan to meet with royalty,

Then I can trade the rags for warmth, and eat a morsel to save my entrails.

Who knows, maybe someone will make life a bit better than it is right now.

It may even be you.

ADULTRESS DOOM

To know wisdom, instruction and to understand words of insight let the wise hear and increase in learning and the one who understands obtain guidance. Were you not instructed not to forsake the instructions of our father and the teachings of our mother be used as a garland for your head and as pendant for your neck? When sinners come with enticement and plot to lie in wait for blood, are you not strong enough to refuse consent and flee from such worthless and wicked persons you call acquaintances, or did you not take counsel from our father when He said the man filled with crooked speech, the one who winks with his eyes, signals with his feet, points with his finger and whose heart devise evils, will have calamity come on him in a moment that he is beyond healing? Now I laugh at your calamity, terror strikes and I mock you now. Distress and anguish has come upon your flesh and body because you heard and refused to heed, your complacency is now your woe. Do you now won...

THE GOSPEL IN REVERSE

Its early this morning and am in this vehicle heading to Victoria Island, a man who had joined the bus as we pulled out from the bus stop started with hymns and praises to God, he sang well and had a good number of songs so I flow along and mentally shake my head to the melody of the tune, anticipating to hear a good message to end the singing session. oh boy was i wrong. Although wasn’t so bad though but I think on a fine day if he were selling a product I needed badly, I wouldn’t feel the need to buy from him. I believe in God and I like being attentive to everyone that preaches. Because God is so big I could learn something new and see something of Him from an entirely perspective, so I listen (which is good, most of you don’t). I also have unreserved respect for those who commit time to preach while commuting, it shows just how passionate they are about evangelism and it is one of the many opportunities to reach out to new people every day. "God loves you and...

FAITH IT LIKE YOU MEAN IT

Today I was in a gathering where we talked about the power of thoughts which gradually entered into the faith topic. I realized just how faith is one of the most discussed subjects and yet the least practiced in our time. YES. Practice is what I just said. practice in the sense that faith requires repetition (not trail and error because it never fails), it becomes an attitude that is perfected through continuous use and its application expands in relation to the understanding of the man who consistently operates by it. Hold on, before you start getting it twisted I have just talked about thoughts and faith which are two separate things but commonly mixed up. Thinking about something doesn’t mean you have faith, it doesn’t even matter how hard you think about it, it remains a thought which could either be creative or destructive depending on the physical manifestation of such thoughts. We will look into thoughts another time but first I have to share with yo...
