LIVING LEGACY

LIVING LEGACY
Live such a legacy that when you leave this world even the non-believers in the Faith feels the shift, emptiness, void in the world and yearn to seek and connect with God on a deeper level. Your life would’ve held purpose in depth. Live as you want to be remembered and spoken of but make it all GODLY.

CHEESE PLEASE!

Can you think back a minute to when telling someone to shut up was such a rude way of talking that you’d get in trouble for it as if you had said a curse word? Or to speak a certain way was considered cross? So saying shut up or being cross wouldn’t be on your to do list to prevent being grounded. Those cheesy days taught us what being human was all about. It taught us to be courteous to our neighbors. We did it so well we didn’t need any escort looking over our shoulders checking to see if we’re behaving. It was simpler living and to most today it would be considered cheesy, lame, bland and boring. But you know, instead of being too bold, uncaring, inhumane without compassion for society wouldn’t it be best to add a little cheese on society today to preserve human flavor? Think about it! We’re constantly losing flavor as human beings. Soon there won’t be anything left to season or salvage. If you don’t believe me, with a clear and stable conscience take a good look at society as a whole!

It’s not nitpicking, honestly. And it’s not stirring anger in others either, it’s just an honest look at society that most elders usually have to go through as they watch their time fading and new time take over. It’s that moment when you realize you’re so old, this generation is so new and there’s a clash in difference. You don’t fit yet to find a common ground may take some time you don’t have. Because by then it might even be time to go because like I said, you’re old! So you reminisce those good days as if you could bring them back. You hardly have anyone to reminisce them with because everyone you knew mostly have passed on leaving you holding the fort. In this fast-paced world all you have left for comfort are those cheesy memories of yours and no one to tell them to. You’re itching to tell anyone who would listen but they’re busy living and your pace is slowing down hence you can’t catch up.

There should be a site! A site where the older folks could post their nostalgia to the world and they can even post anonymously. They should call it REMINESSENCE! The essence of reminiscing in a bulk would be good for society as a whole. That would give older folks an outlet, a chance to share their wisdom with the younger generation. How cool that would be! It could contain stories or sayings, testimonials or daily posts of attempts to connect to the present world. It could even be a youtube channel. I know this would be a very long shot because not all elders are computer literate but isn’t it a grand idea though? (It kept you reading on this far)!

There are simple acts of kindness that could even keep away sicknesses like alzheimers, dementia, senility, withdraws, or the likes. I don’t think elders should be boxed into a corner as if to say it’s not your time anymore so quietly occupy this space as a dunce till you’re no more! Instead I think we should embrace them into society as legacy workers in the field that ought to be commemorated as they exit; only we would be celebrating them in this small version as they live!

Let each testimonial be a learning source for the younger generation! Who knows? Some parents might even start to use that site as insight for their own children’s rearing. One of their chores could be to log into that site and to retell the parent of a testimonial they read that seemed shocking or different than what they’re accustomed to. That would be wisdom being passed down! You’d be surprised how much wisdom is hidden within an elder’s brain, of course that’s when it’s remembered!

Maybe this should be on someone’s to do list! I had to put this out here since it surfaced my overwork brain. I hope it reaches someone somewhere enough to act upon it in a productive way for the benefits of all of society.

VIRGIN AT HEART (LIKE A VIRGIN)

Like an ocean, buoyant, raging, lavishly fluctuating my mind desire you

Like a river, peaceful, passive, and pondering my being yearn for you

Like a fountain overflowing, crazed with joy my soul adorn you

Like an eagle soaring at max, ripping the wind, reaching new heights my spirit needs you

Like a virgin, pure, untouched, unblemished and whole my heart awaits you

BON KONSÈY POU NANM/GOOD ADVICE FOR SOULS

Ou minm ki gaya al fè wout ou, min nou minm ki malad vinn pran remèd nan min Doktè Jézu, c pou nou minm minm li vini!

You who are healthy go about your business, but you who are sick come get medicine from Doctor Jesus, it is for you that He came!

Konbyin péché pou yon moun fè pou w kondané?
Yon sèl!

Si w kwè m manti al li istwa Adan ak Èv pou w wè!

How many sins does it takes to condenm a person?
Just one!

If you don’t believe me go read the story of Adam and Eve to see!

Kijan pou w répanti de tout pèché aprè w finn kondané dèja?
A travè konvèzyon lè w aksépté Jézu kòm sovè pèsonèl ou é resevwal nan kè w pou tout vi w, pou tout tan.

How do you repent from all sins after being already condemned?
Through conversion when you accept Jesus as your personal Savior and welcome Him into your heart for all your life, forever.

Konbyin fwa pou yon moun konvèti?
Yon sèl fwa nan lavi w!

How many times must a person get saved?
Once in your lifetime!

Konbyin fwa pou w répanti devan Bondyé pou tout mal ou fè yo?
Toutan!

How many times must a person repent before God for all the sins committed?
Always!

Li pi bon pou yon moun répanti de tout movèz vwa olyé pou l ta pran wont sèvi jouman ou disput!
It’s better for a person to repent of all wickedness rather than using embarrassment as a means to curse or argue!

Si yon moun bezwen bon konsèy pou sové lavi w ak nanm ou, pa mandé you malféktè. If someone needs good advice to save one’s life and soul, don’t ask a wicked man.

Si w fè érè sou lavi w, fè tout éfò w pou w sonjé koté w t tonbé a pou w pa rétounin la ankò. Paské mw pa kaché di w, lèzòm ap fè chanté ak yon sèl érè w la kap duré tout lavi w. Laplupa lèzòm ap sonjé yon sèl mal ou t fè a minm si w chanjé pou w fè byin. Min lè rivé sou tout byin ou t fè vi w ap fè pou yo a, sa gintan antéré lontan. Bat pou w fè annik sa ki bon pou rézon salu nanm ou!

If you’ve erred on your life, make every effort to remember from whence you fell so that you’ll not return there again. I’ll tell you honestly, mem will make songs out of your one mistake that will last a lifetime. Most men will remember that one error you made even after you’ve mended your ways. But when it pertains to all the goodness you’ve shown them, it’s been buried long ago. Try to do only good deeds for the benefit of your soul’s salvation.

Anvan yo dèpozé kadav kò w anndan latè a, bat pou w fè Bondyé vivan an plézi nèt ak odè lavi w paské Jézu pa lwen vini pou l ranmasé rékòlt nanm nou!

Before they lay your body’s corpse inside the earth’s core, strive to please the living God completely with the aroma of your living because Jesus isn’t far from coming to gather the harvest of our souls!

Lè kòd lavi w koupé finalman, bat pou w alé ak lanmou Jézu nan kè w.

When the string of your life is cut finally, aim to leave with Jesus’ love in your heart!

THE ROAD TO REPENTANCE

A day will come when your excuses will not stand nor will they rectify your actions or lack thereof.

I hear so much from people saying I don’t do this because of that, I won’t become a christian because of this person or that one in the church and their action. Honestly, I understand all that but let me ask you a question! When you stand before God’s great throne on the verge of being rejected and cast into the lake of fire for all eternity, will your excuse hold? Will you be told, “well since you refused to repent and get saved because of Jack or Jane’s actions, I’ll let you into my eternity free?” No chance! Although these people will surely be held accountable for their own actions, might have had their trials that you knew nothing of and you tripped over God’s plan for their lives; though you were supposed to be following Jesus and to make him your life model with full focus on Him, what will you say? When Jesus pulls out the archive to see how many times you were exhorted for bad talking the pastors, the preachers, the Christians, God’s anointed by the same source you label as unfit in the faith what excuse will withstand your argument or be in your favor? (Just a reminder, Saul-before accepting Christ, was struck of blindness by God for persecuting God’s people so tread lightly to prevent exciting God’s anger for the fury of His wrath no man can withstand)! There’s no shortcut into heaven’s eternity with Christ. God isn’t moved by your bluff! Each time you were exhorted from wrongfully bashing God’s people, saying things of which you knew nothing of, each time you took the shame or embarrassment you felt after exhortation and clothed it with an insult or an argument to cover your foul actions, does that remove or justify your evil deeds? Think you God is blind? He who created you with the gift of sight and has seven eyes Himself, think you that your actions are justified or hidden? This is why I have an option of a solution for you, oh you righteous and wise one in your eyes! Accept Jesus as Your Lord and Savior first and foremost then come and show those whom you feel can’t do it right how it’s done in ALL GODLINESS! IT’S SIMPLE! I encourage you to look past your false judgments, your excuses, your labels, your shames and even embarrassments toward self and others and invite YOU, YES YOU, to accept Jesus as Your Lord and Savior for eternity! Come and show those who lack how to walk that walk better, to talk that talk better, live that life better, be holy better while overcoming obstacles coming in all directions.

When you find yourself in disagreement with anything, that’s your cue to step in and become a better example for others to see God in you.

If you reject that invitation speaking loudly within yourself already, then again reject the invitation to accept Christ as Lord and Savior openly, know this, you’ve also forfeit your right to place judgment on those struggling to get things right before God. Because you see, though imperfect they dare to try to make amends even if it’s not at perfection level they keep trying to get it right before God and man. Jesus Himself said He came for those who are sick, they recognize their ailment is in need of a remedy that only Jesus offers through God’s word and in the gift of Salvation so they came to Him. By God’s standards they’re doing very well still in keeping their trying faith under His grace because you see they know that all have sinned and fallen short of God’s grace yet they keep trying to get up from that fall to reach and cling to grace onto eternity.

You who haven’t tasted of God’s gift of Salvation through Jesus need not feel inferior to that which you lack to understand, just come to the fountain and drink from that fountain. There’s room for you too, you’ll begin to understand then what all the commotion has been about. You’ll be shocked to see how grand God’s love had been and still is. You’ll understand also that conversion is done once in life but repentance is constant because as you move on in the faith God begins to open your eyes to things that were buried deep within the depth of your mind’s heart to comprehend that that which you previously counted as right was far from it. You will know God’s truth and that is indeed the truth that will set you free!

I’m the perfect candidate to tell you these things because I’m a worm, a reject which found favor in God’s eyes through Jesus gift of Salvation. If He can find and save me, surely and truly God can do it for you too in Jesus name! I exhort you with all humility to seek and find Jesus as Lord and Savior because today even you need Jesus more than He needs you because, of your own free will and strength you cannot withstand nor will you be able to carry the burden of your great sins especially those which you forgot of that still causes others to suffer from. You have a duty toward them still to ask God to heal their hearts so they can continue their journey to Christ’s salvation too. Look within and fix within in order to help those on the road struggling. Don’t judge that which you know nothing of, first be learned and rightly informed of what God’s will for you is first then equip yourself to bring with you into God’s eternity a multitude of thirsty saved souls for the glory of God. While you’re doing so, watch your thoughts and comments towards God’s anointed souls because you see even if they’re broken, crooked, busted up from the floor up, filthy to the touch, smell or look, they belong to God and He’s working His masterpiece in them. That which was ugly one day will transform and beauty will surface but it’s not your job to do that with bashing. God has appointed His angels as heads of the sanctuary to tend to His temples, you, be still and know that the Lord is God, He will be exalted among the heathen and on earth!

I’m sure you would’ve preferred to hear these words from a more qualified source but unfortunately for you and fortunately for me God has honored me qualified through harsh experiences enough to share these words with you hence he gave the pen long ago.

May God bless you with His gift of salvation before life’s thread is cut or Jesus returns for you, for you too are valuable in the Master’s eyes. The Messiah awaits arms open wide to embrace you in His love. Your soul matters more so look within and make Godly changes that the world might benefit! Soon, Jesus will come as King to reign forever but for now He’d like to make of your heart His humble abode! Welcome Him!

The Fools and The Wise

Fools speak foolishly and sees themselves wise and boast at their own eyes. Wise ones speak cautiously yet never giving a hint that they could actually be wiser than they seem. The wise are most often rejected over fools. That doesn’t make fools better or wiser. Under one sky we find them both and they make up this life. Live and learn.
