The Youth


Strong bones and sharp minds 
But are the youths strong enough?
Do they even have the time?
Consumed with reality TV while real life passes them by
Are you telling me these are the ones on who we rely?
Praises are given to those who have the most gimmicks 
How many do you admire with genuine and powerful lyrics?

Who am I talking to? 
I'm talking to the youth
Some know strength but only the strength of their sexual prowess
The value of the mind is low on the scale of attractiveness
Flashy cars,perfect physique and neatly laid hair parade at the top of the attractiveness scale
What are you using your youth for?
To simply keep up with the current downfall or be the generation to stand tall?
Consumed with the excitement of the times and the obsession with money
Pride and morals are put aside at the pursuit of fame and monetary gain
What race are you in ?
To simply have fame attached to your name or be proud of your name

Strong bones become frail when they have no structure
Youth so weak they can't withstand the pressure
No time on their hands
They simply waver to fall prey to any helping hand
Hands that will abuse and make them lesser of a man
Will you still stand?
Who will be bold enough to lead our land?
The youth are weak
It is strength the future needs

Church ministry without God

Have you ever been to a church service and when the singers are singing you feel nothing? You can hear the words coming out of their mouths but they have no  conviction whatsoever? Music is one of the most important parts of church ministry and if God isn't in it, it shouldn't be called Gospel music to begin with. Some singers in church sing for self! They know they are blessed with beautiful voices so they use the church to showcase it but it isn't about ministry. It is simply to let people know what they have going on. They stand before you and they have blank expressions on their faces, while they sing such powerful lyrics. They aren't moved by it but they somehow expect that the congregation will be. The next issue is that of the modern day Gospel music. Call me old fashion but it isn't my flavour at all. Why should I have to be wondering whether I'm listening to Gospel or I'm at a dancehall event? Why does the church have to change itself to resemb...

Be more thankful

It's so easy for us to complain it's like we do it everyday. Are we more thankful for the blessings we have no matter how small they seem? It seems to me that more than ever people are more ungrateful than they are grateful. No matter how bad things are always remember that they could be much worse. Our house isn't big so we complain rather than be thankful that we have a house. Our pay cheque is small so we complain rather than be thankful that we have a job. Our skin isn't flawless so we complain instead of be thankful that we still have our skin to protect our bodies. Our body isn't sculpted perfectly so we complain instead of being thankful that all our body parts are still functioning. Our world is very ungrateful and we can never seem to be satisfied no matter how many blessings we have. This week I ask of you to be thankful for something everyday no matter how small it may seem.

This World

  A world where people don't love you if you can't supply them with all the material things they need. A world where people marry just to get citizenship in a country. A world where the most educated aren't the ones given the best of jobs. A world where the television and internet are left to teach our children values. A world where the leaders of the church spend more money on church buildings tha n feeding the poor. A world where children receive guns before they receive a book to read. A world where in one half of the world people fight for an apple to eat while in the other we pick,choose and refuse what to eat. A world where we cry when we have no new clothes or shoes but some have never felt the warmth of a shirt and pants on their cold flesh. A world where politicians get increases in pay while the citizens are placed on wage freeze for years. A world where everybody proclaims they can't trust anybody. A world where girls value are always occupied with their look...
