REMEMBER THE LOST ONES: ODE TO MY LEGEND


It seems just like yesterday you were smiling with us then, the next day you left us
You left without even saying goodbye,nor did you leave any of yourself behind except for memories
What else would we have expected,when death robbed you away from us
What more can we do than crying all night,asking God the reason for your departure
To us your hearts were our treasures,the only place we feel loved
But now,that feeling is numb,our happiness is gone,our hearts are sad
May be you should've stayed a little bit longer,till we got stronger to bear your loss
Still with remorse and pain in our hearts,we acknowledge the examples you left behind,the principles you laid down,the land marks of achievements,the encouraging speeches of greatness;may we never forget your leadership
With sorrow in our hearts, we announce the passing on of, our beloved ones,the departure of a daring warrior,a hero till death,the one who died fighting the good fight, a saint in the world of sinners, a martyr, the defender of the people,a rare gem
Though physically we cannot see you,but in our hearts we feel your presence
Just as the wind blows past,we can neither see it,nor touch it,but we feel it everywhere around us and we know you are up there watching over us seated at his right hand,till we meet at our own appointed time where we can then be reunited as one big family
Until then our faithful departed,my fellow survivors lets continue to live life at its very best,and keeping in our unforgettable hearts to always in our daily life remember the titans
Today we mourn over lost ones,lets not forget their legacy and what they stood and fought for,the life they sacrificed all for the greater good,lets not forget someday it'll be ours
lets live in all sincerity,and always remember in our fragile hearts,to remember the lost ones,that one day with love in our hearts we shall reunite with them and will never be separated because,in His power we have conquered death!
Ode to my LEGEND.

Why do we remember the lost ones?
Why must we honor their bravery?
Why do we place them on high stakes?
These questions have answers that need not be far fetched,for we as a people saw thier life time till they bade us goodbye
For its only warriors that are remembered and honored
In truth they lived a life of kindness,purity,humility,principle,and most of all a life of selfless interest
They shed blood to right our wrongs,went through fire to end our conflicts,sacrificed their possessions,even to their life to end our wars and bring peace
We honor them because the died fighting;fighting the good fight
They were ultimate soldiers,they were extreme survivors,till the day they traversed beyond our reality.
Today,we remember their good works,their bravery,their selflessness,their ultimate sacrifice
Today we remember the saints,may they continue to live on and continue their journey of endless love
Today!,everyone brace yourselves for we embark on a journey of war,violence,rage,envy and,hatred
This day we live as examples,let our spirit guide us,let our hearts strengthen us,for many will move on along the way
May our hearts never be weary,for we are almost there
Whenever we feel weak,lets remember our friends,families,and the ones that have gone beyond fill us with strength
Lets remember the lost ones and what they stood for,and ultimately trust the GOD of our lost ones for he'll never forsake us,nor leave us behind
We remember the lost ones today as we forge ahead,for one day we will also be remembered for our bravery and self sacrifice to His will and his plan of salvation,world peace and,eternal paradise
The reason why we duff our hearts to the great ones,the reason why we'll always remember our lost ones;in our hearts you'll be forever engraved as the greatest that once lived,and hope we'll be with you at the appointed time
Take a moment,look within,gather up courage,raise your head,look up in the sky,in your hearts ,in this last days,remember the lost ones

THANK GOD FOR JESUS

T hank God for Jesus Christ. Thank God for making the ultimate sacrifice for man. Man in our fallibility is beyond redemption by his own standard We already failed in our ability to redeem ourselves After a series of personal experience and inward reflection, I put it that we all are not without sin No matter how hard we try to prove we can do it on our own the more we fail There is no perfection in sin, since the Eden experience where man embraced sin the perfection of the flesh was corrupted Thank God for the perfection of His Son. God cannot and will never behold sin, but yet he still tolerates us No it isn’t double standard, but mercy Mercy on who? You Through who? His Son When God looks at us, he doesn’t see us in our nature We in ourselves cannot behold his presence with our filth no matter our self-righteousness He sees his ultimate sacrifice in us, when God looks at us He sees his Son’s sacrifice And it is becaus...

CALL OUT YOUR JOSEPH

Bible characters have always being a very interesting topic. I get to read and immerse myself into the story and lives of the various characters God used to show forth His glory. This post is directed to Christians; youths and adults alike, and also to anyone who is willing to be touched by it. I do have a thing for Joseph though. Yeah Joseph…... Joseph was a lot of things: He was young, in turn innocent and naive. He had a dream, which turned out be his vision and destiny. He was loved by his father, envied by his brothers. He was sold, he slaved, and finally he rose from the ashes and became a model for Christian youths today. My focus on his story is when he found himself in the lair of the seductress/temptress. Many youths/adults alike today will never pass on sex. In fact it has become a standard for being a man, so whenever one has the chance to prove him/herself worthy to their friends, they heed its call. Well as for me I beg to differ just like Joseph did....

KNOW THY SOURCE

Knowledge is power, and information is knowledge, and one can say information is power. More important is the source of knowledge or the information, and in every aspect of life it holds meaning and significance in our lives. The authenticity of the knowledge that is sought sharpens ones minds, builds ones character, and determines ones destiny. Having pointed that out, I have an experience to share. The scriptures make us to understand the people of God which was Israel at the time perished due to lack of knowledge. Simply put the people did not have adequate and true information or knowledge about their God and even if they did they rejected the truth. They often times let their selves be deceived by false teachings and the unbelievers around them. They began to indulge in the ungodly acts that God had instructed them not to do.  The scriptures also implore us as Christians to study the word of God to show ourselves approved and to rightly divide the word of truth. To expand...
