Previously I existed, now I live…and because I wasn’t ‘asthmad’ up, I could breathe pretty good but it’s now that I’m alive (feel free to scratch that scalp in utter confusion). I feel I’ve made my point and can end this article right here but Kikilikiki pays a brother to say more than this, so that’s your luck (and your scalp of course), I shall give more insight on that 1st sentence *yippie!!*
There are numerous ways to state how I’m now living, the most frequently used are ‘saved’ and ‘born-again’…as true as these are I just feel they are a little dull and clichéd, and those who know me will boldly state that I am blessed with a handicap mind and the side effects to such a mind are that I get a rash when I make use of clichés (okay, not really but it would make sense since ‘Cliches’ and I don’t get along). My point is, instead of ‘saved’ or ‘born-again’, I prefer to say “I have been conveniently restored”, or “I have a more mutual understanding with my maker”, or “I’ve cancelled my airline ticket bookings on ‘HELL’S AIRLINES’ and have made a V.I.P. reservation in heaven”, or “I have, by the Lord’s mercy terminated the decisions and judgements of the council of Hell against my life”, or “my sins have been flushed away and I felt I owed it to the devil to smear my faeces on he’s face…and neck ”,or “I snitched on my old-self and got him killed, so the new me can live free of sin and have some ‘SWAG’D’ up righteousness”…with all this being said I find this time perfect to stick my tongue out at the devil.
My apostle Charles Samunenge (my spiritual fatherly ninja) taught me that ‘Birth and Death’ are the two of the ultimate things we got no control over, what happens in-between these is shaped by our choices, meaning we got control over our lives. Giving my life to The Lord was and will always be the best decision I’ll ever commit to *serious face*. It honestly couldn’t have come at a better time than now, I’ve had a job for the past 6months and my career just about kick-started and will blossom even more and beyond because I now got the almighty as a foundation and strong-hold, all my decisions will now be shaped influenced and monitored by who many refer to as ‘The man upstairs’, whom I believe isn’t a single floor above us, that “Man” is actually working on the same floor as you, I realised you need no stairs or an elevator to link up with him, he’s right there, watching you.
There are those whom I now feel sorry for, they aren’t even slightly acquainted with ‘The Man’ *tear-drop while shaking head*, and then there’s those whom The Lord is nothing but a mutual friend to, now and again a friend suggestion will appear and they’ll shamelessly ignore it *yet another tear-drop*, and no-living specimen likes to be ignored, so add ‘The Man’ as your friend and living saviour and send him a halla…and ‘poke’ him with prayer every now and again.
