DIARY OF AN AFRICAN CHILD- "All i want is to live"


Hey you!! Yes you!!
It's the little child in me calling out
Please listen to me
I woke up today not sure of what I was going to eat
I got a message that you are tired of life
I laughed it out till I couldn't because you had all I needed
I have no chance of a good shelter, clothing, food or Education
But you do yet you trade it for the things you see in the movies
All I want is an opportunity to make a difference
I never signed up for this but my parents thought out my life before I was born
Yet you have the chance to be what you want to be

Listen to the little child in me calling out to you
My parents say taking life's  is for a good cause and I will be greatly rewarded
But we both know its not true
I lost out of a childhood you are running from
I learnt how to use weapons from when I was young
You can call what your facing now"Depression" or you running from life
But I'll tell you my greatest fear "death"
We live in fear each day waiting for the day they'll come for me

The little me is frighten of what they'll make me do
But you wake up each morning with a plan for your day
You have a whole life in front of you yet you fail to plan
I make no plans of how my noon will look like but I wait
Am not trying to put fear in you
But I want you to wake up

Am somewhere now with no vision but I definitely know it's not over
Drop the drugs, gun, knife, whatever you feel will end you
Get up again and try
Remember you have all you need for right now
No one hates you
You have only one life even though I face far worse I have hope
Someone out there wants what you have even less.


God loves you and please discover why you are here on earth
What role can you play in the spread of the Gospel?

BUILDING A STRONG RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR MAKER

5 Golden Steps to Building a Strong Relationship with your Maker. . . 1) Always listen to the inward witness who is the holy spirit. When you discard the warning signs of the holy spirit you grieve him and he departs. " There is need for Raw Obedience " . 2) God wants to talk with you as much as you want to talk to him. Its totally mutual because he wants to spend as much time with you and tell you so many things but most times we are  caught up in our worries, challenges, and we lose touch of what he is really trying to say to you. . " Be Sensitive " . 3) We need to learn to let God guide and lead us. Most times we feel we have the year all figured out with plans, budgets, strategies that we lose touch of the main thing. God desires to show us what next is to be done but we always go back to the drawing board and not going to the one that set you on the task for the year. . . 4) Your life must be centered around God. In building a personal relationshi...

A REAL MAN SHOWS RESPECT TO GOD

Image
One word for this Real men Series "Educating" I know I am the one writing all of the areas but the truth is my dad does a lot by giving his words of wisdom on certain areas (He is my first love oh). Yesterday was an eye opener and today we would like to go a little deeper as we check out "A Real Man's Respect for God" 3) A Real Man Shows Respect To God:                This should be the first on the list because a man that has the fear of God and respects everything that God has placed in his hand is a real man. I was at a wedding recently and the pastor said something striking which I feel every man should adopt, a real man understands that the lady he has is given to him by God and should be handled with care. God expects that real men of our time would extend that same level of respect to our spouse, girlfriends, mothers, children etc.            What I love most about my boyfriend is that he has so...
