Your insistence!

Your insistence on a positive INSIDE will bring about a manifestation of a positive OUTSIDE. Though the rebels of darkness will war against your imagination, your persistence in the line of excellence will mute the volume of distraction.©kenneth nkemnacho
 
 

Look!

The more I look inward, the stronger I become. The more I look upward, the higher my hope. I will never look around; if I do, I get rounded up. I will never look downward; if I do, I get dizzy.

The Price!

For every purpose proposed, there is a price to pay. You only receive the prize when you pay the price. Paying the price can be so pressing, but you don't get the gain until you are drained. Draining sometimes appear like a bane, until the end, you see you've been bailed. Dont cry my sister! You think you've been framed, but its taking you to a fame!! I will watch you on that rectangular box in a day, inspiring your world till its end. God bless your day. ©kenneth nkemnacho

ECHOES FROM THE BOTTOM OF A HEAVY ROCK

As a person who was raised in deprivation and rejection, I have never hidden my identity, neither have I ever claimed to be what I’m not. I know we should call things which be not as though they were, but sometimes, I have been guilty of calling things which be as they are. Over forty years ago, when I first felt the atmospheric pressure, pressures have never ceased to be, and they will never cease to be. In spite of life’s sustained pressures, we do understand that the weight on some people may be milder than those on others. What I don’t seem to understand is that those with milder pressures sometimes think that their little laden is as a result of their canny wisdom. As a result, they treat lesser mortals like rubbish bins. As someone who has eaten from the bin, I prefer to handle bins with caution. In dipping my right hand in bins, I have felt gems abandoned in trashes. When I can, I pick cans from the crash and crush, perhaps, I may be able to send them to life’s recycling centres, and then give them the hope that they can live again. A few days ago, a monster from a deluded history tried to crush my spirit. The creature sent some fiery darts from across the Atlantic. He thought he would meet me where he left me. He didn’t realise that as life has moved on, so have I.  I took his weapons and turned them to inspiration; I wrote some lines that would impact a whole generation. Instead of tears, I got stirred. Instead of stress, I got spared. As I tap the buttons of the new age typewriter, I recall with a broken heart those who are in hidden corners of the earth hungry, forsaken, deprived and forgotten. I remember that Jesus fed 5000 men. How many have I fed? How many have I sent away like His disciples wanted to do? How many have I told to go to the neighbouring villages where there are no neighbours? I have a hungry soul. I am a prisoner of conscience. I am a man of no profile but preparing a file, peradventure, that dream will be brokered so that I can fulfil the desires of my inner quest. In my heart, I walk on the streets of Mogadishu. In my inner being, I am strolling in Zanzibar. I see Kampala in my sleep.

As you eat the baked beans; some people eat nothing. As you throw away the expired meal; some people are expiring. As you lose the weight; some people emaciate not by consent but by compulsion. As you throw away those clothes; some people are naked. As you wail in your sitting room to support your football club; some people mourn from days of starvation. The weight of starvation is worse than the weight of a heavy rock. The weight of starvation wails for salvation. I hear the weeping of a child in the hinterland of Africa. I hear the echo as I move closer to a rock. Oh my God, it’s an echo from the bottom of a heavy rock!

ASHES AND BEAUTY

Kenneth Nkemnacho

Looking at life from two perspectives sometimes make you wonder why one source of breath can produce two contrasting flows. The tap of destiny can be somehow equivocal if you don’t have an in-depth understanding of where your beginning and end is designated. Life always produces a dust until you find the water to condense it. Finding the water is finding true solution to the weights that rest on your shoulders either to bend you to stupor or crack you to death. When that pressure emanates, it never comes with a single touch; it repeatedly knocks you until you conform or contest. If you conform, you become a slave to the garrison of limitation. If you contest, hell breaks loose to scare you to submission until you realise that change does not manifest except by courage. Courage doesn’t mean you’re not scared; it means that even in fear, you keep going till you crash the head of the coward of hell. Courage is a resolution that brings revolution. Courage is a decision that brings emancipation. When threat double crosses you on the road to actualisation, drive on the head of intimidation with total conviction that you will come out wearing the crown of glory. When turbulence seems unending, realise that the day of testimony is at your door step. Don’t buy the idea of defeat even if it appears glaring. Don’t accept the mail of rejection even if you physically signed for it on the Postman’s little electronic box. You may have the letter on your hand, but never have it in your head. The agenda of the forces of diffusion is to reduce the content of your believe until it no longer exist. Let no evil print take the picture of your destination from you. When they throw the ashes at you, wipe your head with the handkerchief soaked in the living water. Pick the bottle containing the oil of joy, and cream your whole body with it. Instead of ashes, let there be beauty. Your beauty will embrace your testimony!

WHAT FAITH IS!

You're waiting for a miracle to take place before you start doing something for God. The truth is, it will never take place until you start doing something. Preaching prosperity when you already have the money in your pocket is not faith. Faith is when ev...eryone can see that you don't have it, but you keep saying what God says concerning the situation. You don't take a measurement of the wedding gown when the man has come; you take it even if you see no man! Practice driving even if the car is not there. Stand up to walk even if one leg is missing. Pick a Book to read even if both eyes are blind. Prepare for the exams when there is no money to register for it. Write that Book even if no one knows you. Faith is an attitude not an attribute!
