On The Road To Emmaus

They walked and talked together
Like wanderers without a guide
Sadness was the tone of their voices
Regrets on their faces barely hide

A known stranger slipped amid them
Without recognition, never knowing who He was
They reproved him for being a novice
Claiming all they’ve know were false

With a listening ear and tender heart
He heard and bore their entire plight
And when He was given a chance to speak
He showed them the way of light

He elucidated the truth to them
In the way He alone could
And for six hours non grew weary
Neither did any quest for food

As they drew near their abode
He walked as though leaving them behind
But their heart urged him so stay
Knowing they won’t find another of His kind

As they sup together brotherly
Breaking of bread He did as usual
Realization then dawn on them
As they saw the supernatural

They finally knew who He was
For the truth they brought to us
If you believe; then you could be one of us
On the dusty road to Emmaus

HONESTY OPENS THE DOOR TO SUCCESS

Successful people have cultivated the habit of never denying to themselves their true feelings and attitudes. They have no need for pretences. Once you accept yourself completely you don't have to maintain a phoney front, or feel insecure if people don't tune in to you and what you're doing.

Visualize what you really want, not what someone else wants for you. Someone’s view about you cannot form or be your reality. Don't forfeit three-fourth of yourself to be like other people. First say to yourself what you would be and then do what you have to do to be what you have to be. So let me ask what do you want to be? See you!

Through It All

Through persecution and trial
Faith makes the devil a liar
Through weary wilderness
Virtue energizes power for service

Though messiness of the mind
Acquisition of knowledge is easy to find
Through pressure and woolly goals
Temperance gives self-control

Through pestilence and its rumours
Patience ushers in sense of humour
Through grime and dirtiness
Cleanliness paves way for Godliness

Through jealousy and hatred
Brotherly Kindness is easily read
And through it all
Possession of Charity edifies more

DESIRE IS THE FIRE OF LIFE?

The key that insures your success in any endeavor is desire. If you are willing to pay the price, even your circumstances will change. If you want something badly enough you are sure to get it.

Reality forms around the commitments you make. Your desires will in time externalize themselves into concrete facts.

Obstacles don't matter very much. Pain or other circumstances can be there. But if you want something bad enough, you'll find a way to get it done.

You only have to love a thing greatly to get it.

Princess Ibiene George

What can separate us from the bond we’ve shared
Oh precious jewel one I esteem and call princess
I have sort to right my wrong over the years
But you derive pleasure in placing me in outer darkness

On my knee I beg and pray daily
For us to make amends for old time sake
Not minding the past and all its intrigues
But looking forward for a new dawn to break

I see greatness coming from a distance
Filled with luxuries meant for you and me
I won’t trade it for whatever you say
For together we were meant to be

Every time I view your picture on hi5
I see the lips of an angel I did kissed
And wonder in its fantasy and glory
I see you the Miss I missed

Ibiene George (Princess) why do this
For it breaks my heart every time I think of you
I know somewhere in your heart lays a childhood
But I can’t phantom what I should do

Help Me! –

I really didn't want to do this but u forced me. I am sorry!

THE GLASS IS ALWAYS HALF FULL

There is a good side to every situation. View your problems as opportunities. You cannot have the success without the failures. There is no TESTIMONY without a TEST.
Any experience can be transformed into something of value. Everything depends on the way you look at things.

What are stumbling blocks and defeat before you can be stepping stones to victory if you remain determined.

In all of your adversities lie the seeds of equivalent advantages. In every defeat there is a lesson showing you how to win the next time.

When it's dark enough you can see the stars and the watchman says …the morning comes! Though weeping may endure through the night be happy that morning comes at dawn.

SOMEONE NOBODY KNOWS

She sits daily with loneliness
And smiles at nothing at all
She stares at the critical gaze of men
From the mirror that hangs on the wall

She waits for someone who is nobody
And for decades everybody comes or goes
With hope to be free one day
She’s somebody nobody knows

Down to the cares of life she falls
Like someone the world threw away
Nobody comes to her rescue
None bothers to look down her way

Though she cries, tries helplessly
To wipe memories off her shadow
A shadow the world left behind
Is the accolade from her fellows

She is someone nobody knows
Cries where nobody can hear
Someone is dying alone in pain
In this life and nobody seem to care

THE VOICE THAT CALLS YOU HOME

It comes from a distant land
With obsession easy to understand
Reminds you that you are not alone
It’s the voice that calls you home

It is the beauty of every creature
The transferred happiness of the future
Brings one to a never ending zone
Oh! That voice that calls you home

It takes and brings things to existence
Seldom accord with forms of pretence
Spoken by one and Him alone
Is that voice that calls you home

Could this be the voice of Jesus
That spoke on the road to Damascus
If it is, then I’m glad to be atoned
By that voice that calls one home

Though knowledge fails, and hearts bleeds
Question not the way this Voice leads
For in this side of life one is not alone
Being mindful of that voice that calls them home

One has walked strait for others to follow
Though excruciating, please try to swallow
For whatsoever that is broken is made whole
When that voice calls you home

And to folks left behind to time
Brotherly kindness and charity be thine
To profit withal and the truth uphold
And wait for that voice to call you home

FOCUS ON YOUR FUTURE NOT YOUR PAST

Your future is a big adventure. Prepare for your future don't live in the past. Savor your good memories; use any bad ones as lessons in life. Science has it that up to 65,000 thoughts passes through our mind everyday which are negative and of the past, and if we dwell therein nothing good would come out of it. No wonder many complain of a bleak future when they look at themselves down the road.

When you look at yourself in five years time what do you see? Where would you be? All these are product of what you are and think right now where you are standing

Carve out a niche for yourself in your imagined future. Think, feel and see yourself as successful. To achieve any goal in life, you need to project your end result. Think of the elation, the satisfaction, and the joy you'll feel. Carry these ecstatic feelings with you every day and they'll bring your desired goals into view.

Sooner or later, you can win if you think you can. The cards you are dealt in life are less important than the way you play them. Everyday you're offered a new deal and new cards.

Success is in your future if you're willing to work for it. Let me ask you, are you willing to work for it? If yes! Let’s do it together. You and me.

FREEDOM MEANS RESPONSIBILITY

Freedom is the right to live as you wish. If you wish to free yourself from enslavement, you must choose freedom and the responsibility it entails. There's a price for every freedom, something to be given up for every liberty, but what is the price for Financial Freedom which is the most sort issue on planet earth?

Freedom is the opportunity to make decisions. It's the capacity to take a hand in your own development or “own your stuff” as Les Brown would say. It's up to you to weigh the price you must pay for each of your freedoms. And everything you want has a price. Freedom is the right to choose. It's the right to create for yourself the alternatives of choice and that determines the price you’ll pay for the freedom you want today. Like I once asked you “are you willing to do today the things others won’t do in order to have tomorrow the things others won’t have or dream of? That price is determined by the choice and decisions we as human make today.

No one is free who is not master of himself. You are free to do whatever you like. You need only face the consequences of your actions. Ask yourself these questions
What do I want?
Why do I want what I want?
How do I get what I want?
When you can answer these questions then I’ll be with you at the train station.

See you next time, stay bless in the bond of PEACE – Brothers Standing in The Gap
