TOTAL FEAR
I’m afraid of winning in fear of losing
I’m afraid of climbing for I might fall
I’m afraid of giving for I shall take
I’m afraid of feeling for I’ll get hurt
I’m afraid of being the one I sought
I’m afraid of laughing for sadness sake
I’m afraid of living for death is near
I’m afraid of loving to avoid envy
I’m afraid

YOU’VE BEEN CORNERED
Afraid to live, it’s demanding what you lack
Afraid to die, it’s requesting what you flag
Afraid to be, it’s declaring you’re not there

WHEN DO WE HOPE
When life is so unfair
And no one seem to care
When dreams don’t come true
And the sky can’t turn blue
When the power of God’s love
Does not resemble a Dove
When there is no more laughter
And the clock is ticking faster
Oh Sweet Jesus hear my cry
Come and show me how to fly
You’re my only inspiration
I will follow your direction
Even when I lose my way
You won’t let me go astray
Just because life is unfair
No one seem to really care
Ah, but hope is always here
Even in our darkest fear
Imagine how our life would be
In this lap of luxury
It was made for us you know
Just so He could plainly show
When you hope with all your heart
Life’s not lost, it is a start

A CRY, A SIGH
LOST AND FOUND ETIQUETTE
We live in a world where even if someone professes to have respect for others they will not hold back, once angry they will use every profane word on their list to soil your very existence. Modern day ‘respect’ doesn’t exclude foul language, it welcomes it. Even in the most common institutions, organizations or high offices, foul language is the décor of many businesses. Etiquette has been kicked to the curb and a lack of ethics is strongly present. I found that this generation has little consideration and even less admiration and honor in that sense. The handful few that seem to be exempt within this generation appears lost or out of place to the watcher. Despite their efforts to remain pure in language, the majority outweighs them before men but not before God. So to them I give a standing ovation and encourage them to continue to struggle and win for their crown of glory that is awaiting them in heaven, but even on earth God will use them for great things! To those who forgot that they emanated from a mother but struts the earth as though lightning birthed them into existence I say, you know little of the curses that you spurt and their origin. (Even God said to curse not by His great name)! But consider this for a moment, if God went on a cursing spree no one would be left alive! His was not, is not and never will be empty words followed by rage with a side of turmoil drenched in emotions! When God curses it is definite and finite until there’s a (vol de face) a turn around, a show of remorse and repentance, a sanction served! It’s an absolute stand doomed from generation to generation, no one is exempt! Only the just, righteous men may be exempt like Noah and Lot. If God did not spare the angels after having sinned (2 Peter 2:4-11) what then do you think of constant disobedience to God? It can easily become a generational curse passed down because in His word, God did say that He punishes onto the fourth generation. Have you ever stopped to wonder how much damage one curse word germinates? (It can land you into the pit of hell without ever knowing why or how you’re there; so unlike the others who like to say not to judge them but to let God judge them, I say, go ahead and judge me as much as you see fit! Because you see, once God judges He also sets a condemnation whether you’re ready for it or not, then there’s no room or time for repentance. If God has said in His own words, “Judge not lest ye be judged” and you deem it necessary to go against His rules then by all means knock yourself out and then pay the consequences later and be held accountable for your actions)! The same goes for curses, He says to curse not those that hate and persecute you but to bless them, to disobey in this is also to agree to pay the consequences. Deuteronomy 28:15-68 is strongly recommended when praying on reversing the curses, be it generational or otherwise because of the compressed information within. Each person can find themselves on this guideline based on their life walk to make adjustments so as not to fall prey to one’s own greed or error. Because often times, one’s worse enemy is not just the devil but the evil within that lurks and seeks to destroy the Godly instructed core obedience that fuels and charges our daily walk. Being watchful isn’t only for outward happenings but most importantly for inner maîtrise de soi/self-control. It is better to examine one’s self, to make adjustments in character, daily walk, to control emotional upheavals because a vessel being used must always be ready for service. Hence we shouldn’t be using most of our time beating down self and others with curses that dig a deeper hole when the real problem is being fed through curse. The simplest things at times can be the greatest silent tower blocking one’s advancement. It is in one’s benefit then to knock off of the worry list the least significant excess baggages first so as to focus on the most troublesome ones. By that I mean, if it’s not of use to or benefiting your soul’s growth then it is recommended to be rid of routine destructive behaviors like cursing worse than a sailor in making a simple statement about what to eat or wear today! The mouth that eats all (types of) food should not (be quick to) speak all (types of) words-Haitian saying! Rather than showing lack of respect to self and others, you’re actually upholding self in high regards for others to acknowledge your self worth. In doing this you also give homage, reverence, and honor to God whom it is due. Because you are God’s servant and He uses clean vessels to reach lost ones, it’s of utmost importance to position yourself to be used by your Master at each, every and all given situations. He will not use a dirty vessel to put clean liquid in so your part is to remain clean and available by all means. Refrain from hiding behind curse words, build charisma. When conversing, say what you mean with words that explain your thought rather than words that vexes the opposing side. Be bold enough to speak using your mind’s learned capacity to voice your opinion in a respectable manner feeling confident in your ability to reach another’s lack of comprehension with exemplified words. You’ll find that the opposed was struggling to meet you there in understanding and even in agreement. Let your charm, character, and charisma speak for itself!
