I am my brothers keeper

This is who I am...I can't run from myself so I embrace my rough edges. ..This is who I am...and who I am hates who I've been.

Life is a challenge, we rise up to it Often beat down and trumpled on, still we rise.. Like the blood pressure on a black woman eating pork all her life... We rise Its who we become when we rise, better than who we were when we fell.. Gods grace is what keeps us renewing our minds... We rise to the occasion.. She is why I rise... Why I never stay down too long, why I never cry too long, why it hurts to move but still I move ... She is Gods grace upon my life. DALITSO... WITH LOVE

Sabbath 23-01-2016

Hymn 523 Joshua 9 CONTENTED AND COMPELLED 2kings 7: 9,10 From chapter 6:24 The calamity in Samaria is blamed on the prophet of God. There's a time when the economic crisis of the nations will be blamed on God's people and we are going to be persecuted. The time to prepare and seek God's grace is NOW! The lepers who were going to die anyway went to the enemy camp outcast by the city. They did not find the enemy the challenge was no more...they had fled because God had caused them to hear chariots and horses...a marching army towards them It is not by power not by might....many times we give up before a mighty break through. The Israelites stray from a challenge that is already under control. Wait upon the Lord, you shall see the salvation of God. Hold on child of God and you will see the salvation of God. Despite the evil done unto them the lepers were compelled to share the good news. Shall we be quiet when out workmates our neighbours are without hope? There are many surrounding us whose survival and salvation is actually in your hands. For how long are you going to be silent? The church is a filling station we come to be trained, to be fired up, you are the church in your family, at your work place...you are the beacon of hope. No matter how theologically sound the message you recieve here on the Sabbath. ..expression strengthens impressions. Iron sharpens iron. The truth builds us. Go and tell somebody...what Jesus has done for you. I had no friends..gravely lonely till I found Jesus and in him I found many friends. It was after eating, then they remembered the hungry somewhere...it is what fills the cup that overflows the cup. They were full but remembered their experience and as we reach the end of time it is our experience in Christ. That is evangelism, sharing with someone your contentment in the Lord. You may not have to open your bible your life alone is the message. Like Francis says...Preach the Gospel at all times when necessary use words. Your life mirrors The one whom you follow. The love of God compels us. The thief that robs us of that contentment in the Lord -the storms of life that eclipse the love of God. Peter walks on the water while his eyes are on Jesus. But when he looks away he begins to sink. Love cannot lift him up. Turn your eyes to Jesus and the things of this world will dim in your eyes. - we focus on ourselves. We forget what Jesus did for us in Calvary. We focus on what we can do . That is why the Pharisee went home unjustified in Luke 18. The tax collector went home justified. Where is your focus? Once you have experienced the love of God that's all the contentment. He becomes the fire in your bones, the wind in your sails the hunger for your life. HE CONTENT AND COMPELLED JESUS IS MINE...AND I AM HIS...

Jubilee

While the world is vigilant on impending wars I dare to sail my ship in a pool I am a fool The villains in our land do not walk with Pangas They don’t move with knives and guns faking self defence They own Newspapers and preach hate Wear fancy ties and suits and fail to make laws! They steal in broad daylight They amass wealth while others amass worms and malnutrition They have fancy diseases while we are dying of malaria,cholera and AIDS…. They die abroad and have national mournings while we die on queues, in our shantys Not even local mortuaries can withstand our corpses ..they wine and dine while we slave away Our fathers work to the bone while they sit in endless meetings while their bank accounts get debited They set up tribunals to try eachother “who is more corrupt?” They are law makers, making laws that they themselves only know how to break In a country where we boast of peace its a shame to see men fight for food and die of hunger In the absence of blood shed we are impoverished beyond words The Newspapers say its the States fault but this has been a 50 year old problem_a Jubilee of hunger Old news #zambia #jubilee

Rumbling 1

the narrow minded and superficial, the plastics that believe in everything material, the one i never wanted to be. the person i am might be somewhere vaguely in between. neither this nor that but i love me. trying to revive the skill i had learnt only as a self defense measure, holding onto the sweet grammar that barely has a place in this over active imagination. the world is going on, sweet melody, sweet poverty, sweetly violent leaving bodies in its toll, new dreams new hopes...too bad not erasing the yesterdays no...those bare my scars they are but for me to carry into all my tomorrows....
