WHY CAN'T THEY HEAR ME ?








      "Maybe i'm not talking clearly?, i speak another language so they can't feel me??

           I know God says not to go weary, but tell me WHY CANT THEY HEAR ME ???"

 A young man walks up to a lady about to step in "a client's" car (prostitution) and requests for a minute of her time,  she doesn't have so much but grants his request anyway. He says to her "You're just a little girl, i can see it in your eyes, you think you'd find happiness & wealth with all these little guys, your value is in your heart but you think it's in your thighs & Jesus sees you every time you cry, He wants to help you out if you'd just give him a try. They're selling you these dreams and you're dumb enough to buy, in the end... You get a baby & HIV (or both) and then begin to ask 'how?' or 'why?' We've said that sex is for later..." she replies instantly "You all are just a bunch of haters" , she hops into her client's escalade and he drives off.    WHY?

A young man walks up to a guy (x) seated with his girlfriend and tries to share a word of truth with him, before he even begins, x's eyes read "Mind your business" The young man ignores and goes ahead with what he has to say.. "Hey homeboy, do you know the Lord, do you know why He came & do you know what He died for ?" x replied- "Yeah, yeah, yeah... on the third day He rose, I hear this every year" (Preacher) - "Yeah? and you still haven't received Him? You still don't believe? There's a hell, don't you see?" X pushes him to the side and walks away with the lady.    WHY??


I've been involved in countless scenarios where people walk up to me to either share the gospel with or speak some truth to me and i blatantly refuse. Why? No reason at all, I don't just want to hear it. I mean, I go to church on sunday, I'm pretty much a good guy, I don't need some guy walking out of nowhere keeping me for minutes/hours ranting in my ears things i already know.
I'm no preacher, however, I've come to realize that young people of the present day have drifted very far and don't even want to be told the truth (especially by peers), they tend to look down on people who would have, if allowed, made a difference in their lives.

NOTE- When I say "The truth" I do not necessarily imply "preaching the gospel"
I'd give an example just to clarify.
A young lady in a relationship is beaten by her boyfriend because she refuses to have sex with him, she cries to the shoulders of a friend seeking advice on what she should do about it (meanwhile her mind is made up- she believes he loves her and will change; she only needs to hear this from the girl/guy she's seeking advice from). Unfortunately, she's not getting what she wants to hear, the truth begins to provoke her and BANG! she's had enough... Thank you very much! We wrap it up here, she doesn't want to hear what you think anymore.

We've all had that one time or the other where the truth was either too bitter or too much to handle and then we choose to ignore and proceed on a wrong path. Thing is, the truth is not always what we "want" to hear, but surely is what we "need."

I've been called gay countless times because i keep advising ladies who expose their bodies to stop (now these same girls i try to reach out to are the ones who tag me 'Gay'). They seem to forget that on the long run, some of these things would eventually come into play.

Ladies, YOU CAN BE ATTRACTIVE WITHOUT EXPOSING YOUR BODY... even more attractive than a lady who does. Some of you say you're just being real, well... better start searching for women to marry... No responsible right thinking guy would marry a lady whose colour of panties and even "Nipple genre" is known to all of the world.

Finally, live right, responsible, fear God and be less concerned about the things that move the world, they actually hinder you from and not aid you in accomplishing your dreams.

NEVER ALONE





                         "I cried out with no reply & i can't feel you by my side, 
                    So i hold tight to what i know- "You're here & I'm NEVER ALONE."

There comes a time in a man's life when he feels alone, regardless of who's standing next to him. A time when it feels like the whole world has forsaken him, a time when running to his God doesn't seem a good enough solution, a time when he feels he's drifted to far to turn around... A phase of life that knows no man.

This phase is no time to discuss on how much fame or fortune you have... It brutalizes and paralyzes you nevertheless. You're left depressed, surrounded by many but still feeling lonely... Nobody to reach out to or explain what is/ why it is happening. Many lose it here and go haywire, many lose their lives in this phase, addiction of all sorts is the case for some and the ones who remain sane never want a taste of such ever!

Emotionally battered, Physically depressed, academically declined, Faith drowned...

"Life is cruel" , "Life is Mean" , "I hate everyone & everything" , "What is there to live for ? " "God WHY?" , "Why me?" ,  "What have i ever done wrong ?." - A few of the many frequently asked questions/ frequently utterances in this traumatic stage.

Whilst some know that Life is not a "Bed of Roses" and are expectant of trails, a few others think once "they're mad, they're made." Even the ones who are obvious of the fact that it is never all so rosy still do not expect life to hit them as hard as it does.

"THERE IS NO PROMOTION WITHOUT AN EXAMINATION" - Life sometimes will make you feel miserable and abandoned, it'll hit you hard enough to take you down, all it wants from you is a response and in the end, how you respond is what counts. Everyone craves money thinking it is the "overall" , well... i can categorically tell you that this phase looks at no man's pocket.

"EVERYTHING THAT HAS A BEGINNING, HAS AN END" - Don't give up! Never give up! It might be difficult and harder than you ever thought, you might feel your whole world crashing down your feet, there might be no one to pull you up, the atmosphere from friends and relatives might have changed, it may seem so hopeless... Remember that "A LIVING DOG IS BETTER THAN A DEAD LION." Make it a priority to rise again and work towards it... Things WILL be a little harder than they ever had been, prophesy over your situation and take charge of it and when people mock you, give them a reason to be ashamed in the end of it all.

NEVER LOSE FOCUS, keep your eyes fixed on God, He never leaves nor fails and would never give you more than you care bear. He may bend you, but will NEVER break you.

STAY POSITIVE at all times, there is power in the word of mouth. Avoid all sorts of negativity and be ready for life whenever it brings anything across your way.

"You are more than what is hurting you inside" Situations are only there to test how ready you are for what is to come. It is never "too late" to right your wrongs, take a u turn, many might forsake you but there'll forever be that one person standing by your side all through the way. DO NOT give up on God... He turns everything into something that is beautiful in due season.
To succeed, it'll take a lot... But God has given you all that you'd require, use wisely and you'll come out of any sort of situation even stronger than you went in.

Be ready for everything life throws at you (Good or bad) , the workload WILL be heavy and might take a toll on you but never let your eyes off the trophy (Your vision), Hold on tight to it and remind God of his plans for you. His thoughts towards you are forever good.. to bring you to an expected end.

I had no intention to write this, i was about writing on an entirely different subject when something in me paused me and changed my direction. I really don't know who this is for but whoever understands what this is about, on the verge of falling off / giving up... God loves you and you're NEVER ALONE.

SWEET NOVEMBER


The 11th month of the year, the period when the ones who're conceived in the month of love are born. A month of Kings & Queens, Where humor at is gotten at its peak, the month of winners, glory and abundance, the period when we begin to look forward to the month of Christmas which follows immediately... I WELCOME YOU TO NOVEMBER!!! MY VERY OWN MONTH !!!

I've received an astonishing number of feedback from friends, readers, well-wishers, haters, etc and it would be very much ungrateful not to say a big thank you and God bless for all the comments and feedback... For even considering AB worth reading in the first place, God bless you all big time.

Some might be wondering why i did Davido's Rick Ross' job with the whole intro into November, well.. It's the month i was born, got my first and second admissions into the university and of course my favorite of the year and i'm glad and really thankful having seen this month once again.

Just a few words of adornment  to all AB readers... I Love you all so much (Yes, you have no idea... Male and Female; Even if it makes me homo), you have no idea how grateful i am to y'all who read.... Even whilst i was away for about 50days, i still got feedback from you, my direct messages on twitter kept buzzing with people asking when my next post was gonna be.


May God grant y'all your heart desires in this new month and may you all in due time reap the fruits of your labour.

Once again, stay security conscious, stay humble, live your life to please no man, live responsibly and develop a habit of giving to the society and those in need generally. God loves y'all and so do I.

Oh... Yeah, for those wondering what i mean by "Davido's Rick Ross." He's the fat guy who's always raining praises on davido before his stage performances... Ask those who went for / watched #ColourfulWorldOfMore concert.
