Knocking at the door of the heart of Africa

It is real, in ten day's time I will be setting my feet in Congo,  Lubumbashi.  I do not know much what the Lord wants me, and those He is sending with me, to do there; all I know He said "go to Lubumbashi" and that for me surfaces. He also spoke about a Hope Village which is still not very clear. He who is ever Faithful will clarify it, I am totally dependant on Him. Just less than 48 hours ago Tata Mandela slipped into eternity future. A stark reminder than no one is immortal. No matter how loved you are, this flesh cannot enter eternal future; but Jesus ascended on high with His body you may ask. Well some things will be settled on His return,  let us just be ready for Him it is a noble thing to do. In August, last Saturday of August to be precise,  I buried Mme Lillian,  a woman who played a significant role in my journey of Faith. Alice had introduced me to her in January 1990, that was to be another spiritual turning point for me. Now they are both gone, baton is in my hand, am running with it, I have to reach the finishing line,  this baton is precious,  very precious, it cannot fall down.  It has got nations and multitudes for the Lord in it.

This is a link to one of the sad stories about the then Belgian Congo, DRCongo. A country in the heart of the African continent, a country I plan to touch soon. http://digitaljournal.com/blog/11297

Are we missing something?

It is exactly one year since we witnessed the sad tale of Marikana. Seeing it replayed on our TV screens make it feel like yesterday. How long will African blood wet the soil of this continent? 1994 brought fresh hope that SOWETO 1976 and Sharpeville were never to be repeated. We all dreamt of a better country, where we will live happily ever after. We somehow never envisaged things that are happening before our faces, our land is also snatched right under our noses, 100 years after the land Act, the African is still without access to land. With well equipped police service, yet those who can afford still prefer to have own expensive security measures. With even better equipped medical facilities, we still prefer to have own medical aid schemes. All these when our country is said to have overwhelming majority of her citizens proclaiming to be Christians. What has gone amiss, what went wrong? 

If only

Life is a series of decisions
A series of lessons learnt
Catapulting destinies
And drawing destinies nearer

Life effortlessly proceeds
As mishaps and celebrations protrudes along the way
Punctuating life
Decorating our paths
Mesmerising our thoughts

Shadows of trees have seen so much
Witnessed so much
Heard so much.
If only they could speak
And relate to us all the tales
The misery they have seen,
The joys they have experienced
The tales of lives that ebbed away on their branches

Precious moments

"By trying to please everybody, you will please nobody" that's what my grandma taught more

It is free, but it costs everything

Kathryn Kuhlman said many times "its not sliver vessels he needs, is not golden vessels he wants, its yielded vessels…"she on one occasion stayed silent and all you could hear was the sound of her weeping quietly "…that’s all…" she continued "…that’s all." 

"It costs much but it’s worth the cost, it costs everything but it’s worth everything"
