Reborn

Just as a new born baby is absolutely epitomises total innocence, you have the same opportunity to start a new life like a new born baby at the Reborn Night Vigil on the 27th of July.

What is this all about?
It's very simple, its a chance to REWRITE the story of your life!
If it is that you look at your life (Yes think about your life..yes nowww), is it like you thought it would be, it is anywhere close to how you want it to be. For some of you yes, for most NO!

So don't Run away from what is going to change your life forever and grab this opportunity with both your hands, your toes, your tongue, everything that you can grab with because if you hang on tight, you are not going to be the same person, and watch your life transform before your eyes.

Im not speaking religion here, im talking about a transformation of Life which i am sure many of you crave isnt it. Think about all those children suffering in Africa or other poor countries in the world, children are dying but they dnt have the same opportunity that you are getting by reading this post, they don't have the opportunity to take part in Life-changing vigils like you get to...... so TAKE IT, IT ONLY COMES ONCE A YEAR!!!

27 July at 00:00 until 28 July at 06:00

BUT YOU'VE GOTTA WANT THIS!! NO LOOKING BACK!!

"A Church - Hospital for the Broken...Not a Court"

There is unfortunaetly a sad reality that exists very much inside of many churches nowdays wherever country they are in, mostly in western cultured churches. And what is this sad reality that you may want to know? The sad reality is the judgemental nature that exist inside of the church. This post is very much related to all those Christians out there that are reading this because we need to do something about this, we need to eradicate this culture out of the church and stop driving lost souls away from the LORD JESUS!

I know a girl that came to church and because of her past and what that had done to her character, when she brought that into the church, she was judged, despised, looked down on by fellow supposedly church members/soul winners and this is not very good and should not be happening in the church of GOD.  She messed around with guys in other words when she came to the church, things that shouldnt have happened, happened! Im..sorry but this is not an excuse to judge the person without knowing the situation behind what has happened and this becomes an example of how we turn people away from God and the help he can give.

Im sure you know what Christians get critiscised for the most..Yes we all know that we are judgemental blah blah blah...However there are clear cases when someone is in the church and because of the fruits the individual produces, you can clearly see if they are growing or dying spiritually speaking. This is so important for you to understand that as a christian or a none christian, when you are rebuked which is another word for been told off, let it be anointing to your head, just as King David said. I dnt think you want to know how many times iv been rebuked because of my mistakes and imperfections, but i take it on board and do something about it.

I really hate this word "Judging" when no one is Judging you, just telling you the truth about what you need to change about yourself. And i would advice you to Listen..Because God himself could be speaking to you. Instead of saying Judging,...i'd rather say " Just Stating the Obvious"

God bless you, If you need advice or Help, you know where to find me!

YOU ARE STRONG............Arnt you?

What i am about to write here applies to you whatever background, religion, faith, denomination, at this moment you need to put all that aside and listen to what i am going to speak about! THIS IS SO IMPORTANT! No beating around the bush here!!

Do you know why people find it hard to change! 

Simply because they are WEAK, well they believe themselves to be WEAK when they are actually strong! Let me ask you a question and i was discussing this in a conversation i was in with a friend!! Where do you actually find old people 70,80,90 year old people setting trends? In what photoshoot do you see a 80 year old grandma in a bikini(With all due respect) or in what Catwalk do you see a 70 year old grandpa with a stick posing with Calvin Klien Briefs. It does not exist because us youths, young people are the trendsetters, the models and whatever, do you want to know why? BECAUSE WE ARE FULL OF ENERGY. God said this "Youth, YOU ARE STRONG"!! Your what? STRONG. 

OK we have established that young people are strong, but whats my point and guys forgive me but some of you use this strength to do the right thing and some the wrong, some use to serve God, others use to serve the Devil(and by the way he very much exists although you may try to convince yourself thats he's not cuz your scared and weak!). Some youths use this energy to do something Good with their lives: Get a Job, Get married, Study(Go to University), excel in a sport and sadly, others choose to invest their strength in STUPID, YES I SAID IT STUPID,IMMATURE, DIRTY THINGS( Should i give examples? My Pleasure..Smoking, drinking excessively, having sex 50 times a day, gangbanging(You Loser),  YOLO'ING, And can i be honest, this yolo thing was invented by someone who is not even of God, and dnt you dare try and tell me not to judge, im not judging, I CALL IT STATING THE OBVIOUS!!!

So concluding, you know what you understood, USE YOUR ENERGY DOING THE RIGHT THING! Invest in your future which is young peoples problem nowadays and im 18 by the way but its clear that the deadly virus call YOLO is killing many people spiritually and physically also! SO MAKE A DECISION MY FRIEND! BUT BE STRONG..Y...CUZ YOU ARE!! 

God bless! You know how to contact me if you have anything to say, ask or if you need help with something, HOLLA!!!

Well...Why dont you start by changing the little things first!!!

Hello again and welcome back.
You know many people at many times say they want to change because they recognise that they have been living a wrong life or a life that is unpleasing to the eye, well in their eyes anyway and they decide that the only way or the only person that can help them change is God himself. The truth is everybody knows they need God's help, however their is a sad reality out their that suggest to people that they can change totally by themselves and they many times have a go at dismissing God which 99.9% of the time turns out to be an epic fail. However with the majority that do recognise that first of all their is a God out their that needs to come to their rescue, they commit themselves totally into the mission to change their lives. Well, we all know, change involves sacrifice and their are certain things a person needs to give up to fully see a transformation of self. But instead of tackling the major things first, let us take it step by step and tackle the small things first.

To many, this may seem like something big, but if you truly set your mind towards your change, getting rid of what im about to type is essential: Habit of SWEARING...
Now as you read that, you may be even thinking that its impossible because to you, swearing has become something genetic in you, you cannot do without it and its in your every sentence that you say, every tweet that you type...ITS ALL OVER YOUR LIFE!! It ends here. Lets all reason together. It is a disgusting habit that is called a culture in the country we live in and it has become something of a Conformity. If you want to be a new, transformed individual, your speech has to change. Believe me, i do not think if you stop swearing for the rest of your life, your going to develop a brain tumor or you will lose your mind, NO, you are simply replacing a( let me not try to say this is a sophisticated way) Trampish, ugly, unattractive, Wasteman Language, for a more articulate, collected, mature speech. Already a ChaNge as occured! SEE HOW Simple that was...Lets move on shall we...

Change the way you dress yourself.
Ok..this one is quite a funny and personal one to me. We live in a generation were young people see it as  many may say cool or nice or peng or choong or whatever to wear : Incredibly short skirts, jeans(Worn to the thighs)>>Guys , Tops that show what you are packing>>girls (You know what im talking about) and tops that show the whole city you've got a nice belly, Wearing so many earrings, your ears looks like a train track, Slitting your eyesbrow >>Guys >>you think your a badman and i can go on and on and by the way, these are not my opinions on what people dress like....I HAVE SEEN THIS TIME AND TIME AGAIN!!! You need to change this. Do you want to know when you have really changed, when you stop dressing, acting and speaking like those people that breath YOLO...although you only live once..YES..but LIVE RIGHT.

Hygiene
This has a potential to be a very very serious issue with boys and with girls. Lets get straight to the point here. If you want to draw closer to God, you have to be clean and smell good otherwise, God will run away from you, especially if you have condition to (Exception are probably people that cannot afford to take care of themselves). If you go out to parties or raves or what not or to see your much loved patner, im sure your not going to dress as though you had a rough night. So you boy, take time to shower properly, invest in deodorant, invest in mint( your breath is very crucial), dont wear the same briefs for 3 days (Otherwisee, there is an issue) also PLEASE, CUT YOUR HAIR, WASH YOUR HAIR, USE AFTERSHAVE..PLS PLS PLS...Men of God cannot look untidy like those outside. You lady, im not a lady but iv been a victim of Lady Hygience Disorder. Please ladies, Do the basics, you know what they are, clean expired make-up off your face, shave your armpits (its vile when i see this) and also make sure YOUR ROOM IS SOMEWHERE WHERE GOD CAN DWELL NOT A JUNGLE FOR ANIMALS, PLS DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN TO NOOT LOOK OR SMELL LIKE A MAN OTHERWISE THERE IS A BIG PROBLEM!!!

These are little things that you can put right in order to show yourself and God you are willing to be a different Person, a transformed person, someone that is going to represent him well here on earth.
Remember Cleanliness = Godliness.

4 Things that can make us Fall

In Life we are put into many different situations and various circumstances that demand some sort of reaction from us. For example, it may be that you get a job, you get a new responsibility, your starting a new chapter in your life eg University or college...whatever it may be and your making new friends or whether your preparing to get married or preparing to get into a serious relationship with somebody and most importantly, You decide to commit your life to God..and many more circumstances. But to achieve some of these thing if not all of them, you need to overcome the 4 things that could potentially stop you from achieving these life-changing aspects in your life. WANNA KNOW WHAT THEY ARE...ME TOO????
So Number 1: PRIDE
You can see pride in 2 ways: One is when your get that sense of achievement when you reach a goal, or maybe it is that you did something that you thought was impossible for you and it became possible all because of the effort you put into making that happen. This is called Positive Pride. Now like any comic, there is always good guy and a bad guy, a Superhero and a SuperVillain or just an ordinary hero and villiain.So just as there is positive pride, there is negative pride. Now if you look at yourself and you have positve pride..GOOD, however if you look at yourself and see you have the opposite: Negative pride, well you need to do something about it VERY VERY QUICKLY!!!! When you have negative pride, it gives you the sense of been a superhuman, to yourself in YOUR eyes, your unstoppable, your on top of the world, and you get the feeling a times that you can do whatever you want and no one can stop you..THIS IS OFTEN WHAT HAPPENS IN THE MIND OF THE PROUD PERSON. So as mentioned earlier, when you do receive a new resposibility or a new job or whatever, this element PRIDE can kick in and fill you up so much and in certain cases it becomes very hard to tell the person that "HEY, YOUR PROUD" , because at a certain stage it can get so bad, the person does not even realise that they are been proud. In my case, i was doing a good work for the youth group i work for: the VYG. You know i was very active doing various things but i could not help the fact that i was becoming known because i was involved in Big events in Big performances and so on and so forth and then slowly i became proud and i started to do things by how i knew best, i started to disregard instruction from authorities higher than me and began to do things the way i wanted to do and the worst part was i did not realise i was been so proud until i got told right there in my face "Michael, ever since you started been involved in so many things, you think your something" and let me be honest this did not feel good AT ALL but it was the truth. So maybe you have been put in a similar position to me and no one has told you yet, well examine yourself and if you see that you have this character, GET IT OUT OF YOU BECAUSE IT CAN TURN YOU INTO A MONSTER!!! OH YH, ITS WHAT GOT LUCIFER(THE DEVIL) KICKED OUT OF HEAVEN.

Number 2 is Money: This may relate to more people than others and believe me this one can also be potentially dangerous. Money is one of the most helpful assets that you can ever have and lets admit although i hear people use this so much in the wrong context (Money is the root to evil) and yes it is THAT IS IF YOU MAKE IT THAT. WHY?? AND HOW??. Let me take a moment to explain. Money can make people KILL, money can make you PROSTITUTE, money can turn you into a DRUG DEALER, money can make you feel like YOUR BETTER THAN EVERYBODY ELSE AND IN YOUR EYES YOU HAVE EVERYTHING. etc i could go on for ages, but the reality is that money can make people do mad things and this is where does very famous words (Money is the root to all evil) applies. A friend of mine was telling me a story about how he invited his friend to the church to get help because he wasnt doing very well in life, his financial life was not good...nothing as really moving for him. So he came to the church, he fought for his life, he fought for his financial life and so on...after a while he got a job that was paying good money. So the problem began when he started to value his job and the money he was making rather than the person that opened the way for him to receive such. He decided that he wanted to make more and more so started doing more at work and he was getting more, but as he was getting more money, he was sacrificing his time with God more and more until the point he left the church completely to make money and you know what he done well, got himself a nice car and what did he do with this car, everytime he would drive by the church to show off his car and put the friend that invited him to the church when his life was a mess to shame. CRAZY ISNT IT!! Now the guy is in hospital!!!!SOZ!! So if your in LOVE WITH MONEY to the point whereby your willing to sacrifice your faith or give up your relationship with someone or swap it for something that was beneficial to you...BE WISE and STOP THIS ADDICTION TO PAPER!!! CUZ THATS WHAT IT IS!! COLOURED PAPER WITH NUMBERS AT THE CORNERS!!!

Number 3 is Men/Women : Now this one is VERY VERY important, potentially the most important. However i am going to be very straight forward with this one and very honest with all of you!! Men, Women can be dangerous and Women, Men can be dangerous!!! Iv always thought about it and i even spoke to some friends about it. Women have such power to influence Men annd Men have alot of power to win a womans emotions/feelings with just WORDS!!! that is how powerfully influential a man and a woman can be to the opposite sex. Now Guys, let us admit it, we may have many things we want to give up in our lives but the hardest is always girls..girls..girls..girls. I dnt know about you GUY, but i struggled with this for 3 years and a bit to give this up because i wanted to take God seriously and i think that is the difference, if you dnt have a motive to give up something so important in your life, WELL YOU JUST WILL NOT!!! Dnt know why it took me so long, and i could say it was my love for girls, my desires, my lusts and so on...whatever it is! The point is that it was so hard and it was even harder because of the relationships i got into which were incredibly hard to come out of when you sincerely LOVED the person, well that was my case. OK  I was prepared to do ANYTHING for this person..TO SACRIFICE my will for her. But I had to decided..Decide  What??? Decide whether i wanted God to be first or my girlfriend, ONE OF THEM HAD TO HAVE THAT POSITION, YOU CNT HAVE 2 PEOPLE THAT COME FIRST PLACE CAN YOU?? NO U CANT!!! But eventually i made a very important decision to wait for the Perfect woman, God has prepared for me that will make me happy for the rest of my life> Yes im talking about getting married SOON..Hey im 18..give me 4-6 years!!! I dnt believe in teenage relationships anymore because unless you are certain you are going to be with the person for the rest of your life on earth, its pretty pointless because there is always then HEARTBREAK and this means some poor fellow is gonna have to listent to your SOB story which you could have avoided in the first place by been patient and waiting for your MR RIGHT but rather you choose to be anxious and get into hurtful relationships with somebody that does not value you and uses your BODY>> yes uses you only for SEX day and night and yet you see that your not happy but your so blindly convinced that your are with the right person cuz he says 3 simple words " I LOVE YOU" so you feel obligated to throw yourself at him and trust me he will throw himself right back at you. The same goes for you Women, Be intelligent and watchful, if you spot any warning signs at the beginnning o a potential relationship, JUMP SHIP!!! GET OUT OF THERE!! Chances are your gonna end of a mess and have unhealable trust issues!!! Value yourself!!!!

And Number 4 (DRUMROLL) is EMOTIONSS
This applies to the Guys more than the girls because as much as you girls do not like to admit it, YOU ARE NATURALLY EMOTIONAL!! FULL STOP. But the problem is when a guy, a MAN becomes emotional  like a girl. This for me is very very irritating. Let me make it clear, there is a difference from been emotional and sensitive to peoples feelings, Hey you got a brain, think about it. A guy becomes emotional when he starts to let his feelings cloud his mind and disable him from assuming his position as a MAN. Men unless you may not know, We are the Head, We have dominion over All the earth, I am not saying we are neccessarily better than Women but God made us the Head of the earth for a reason and not women. BECAUSE MEN ARE NOT EMOTIONAL, MEN ARE SUPPOSED TO APPLY THEIR MINDS MORE THAN THEIR FEELINGS, although women seem more intelligent,!! We dnt make decisions based on emotions but based on ouR judgement using our BRAIN!! Andd not our feelings. However, unfortunaetly the way men are seen nowaday is contrary to how God wanted men to be. We have a world full of emotional MEN...Im sorry but this is the truth!! And you know what is funny, it normally the BadMans that are the most emotional because for one of the reasons that if they want to change or decide that they ever want to change, they let FEAR get them or they start to go down memory lane....Wake up and Just Change!!! It starts in the mind not in the heart my dear friend!!! So you Man, Assume your position as a Man. A man is not a drug dealer but the way or a pimp or a loser of Gay for that matter(sorry to say) but a Man is someone that is willing to do whatever it takes to live life the right way, A man is someone that accepts full responsibility of their actions no matter the circumstance, A MAN IS A LEADER AND NOT A FOLLOWER, SO STOP BEEN A SHEEP AND THINK FOR YOURSELF YOU MAN!!!!!!!!

If you can overcome all these 4 things, i can say that your Halfway there, Now the other Half is that action you take to make your life: GOD'S and not your OWN and your will see how great you will become!!!

#DamienJackson

Alright so the day has nearly come to an end1 Went to the Damien Jackson event.. excited and to be honest what a pleasure it was. It was eye opening and i finally got an insight in what it was like to live life on the edge, a life where at any moment, you could get shot (Not stabbed) SHOT!!! People are looking for you not to be your fan but to put a bullet through your head!! TERRIFYING!! So what did i get from the event?? MAKE A DECISION!! You guy, you girl that is wasted, smoking drugs, having sex like tommorrow never comes, gang-banging cuz you want protection. This was the life that Damien Jackson lived, Rejected at home since 7 years old, left homeless at 7 years old, started smoking weed at the age of 8/9 years old and plus his dad on christmas morning told his whole family that he was gay and slept with over 2000 men and has HIV AIDS, His dad told him, he wish he never gave birth to me and how he punched his mum when she was pregnant to kill him at birth, MAD STUFF!!! He joined the BLOODS when he was about 14/15 years of age, robbing banks, shops, robbing people, killing people, shutting crack to make money, harrassed by police, put in prison and it just goes on and on, now this is just a little bit of what happened in his life, and i am not saying his life was worse than yours but his life COULD NOT GET ANY WORSE!1 NO FAMILY, ADDICTED TO DRUGS, DEEP INTO GANG LIFE, SHOT AT, ARRESTED SEVERAL TIMES....BUT YOU KNOW WHAT HE FOUND A WAY OUT, he went to a Uckg Helpcentre and he got the advise he needed, the prayers he needed, the HELP HE NEEDED and after 3 months he gave up weed and the process started there, Guess who he is now...He is now going all around the world to help people and to speak to people been used by God to inspire young people like yourself..All the suffering ..all the hate..all the hurt, well im here to tell you!! It really doesnt have to be that way. Dont try to be somebody that you were not born to be and you know what its a real shame! But you could be thinking, aw this guy doesnt know how bad my life is, he doesnt know whta im going through. My dear friend, iv heard it all believe me no matter how bad things are. But the thing is you can not blame anyone for the stupid decision you made that ended up landing you in bad situations and endless problems. You made a decision to live the life that you live but its never too late. It becomes too late when you are DEAD!! But if your reading this blog, well you still have an opportunity. Well iv tried not to sound religious in this blog or give a religious solution and i am not, BUT LETS BE HONEST!!! GOD IS THE ONLY PERSON THAT CAN GET YOU OUT OF THIS MESS!! THATS THE TRUTH!!. Its just a matter of being humble enough to say that you need him and recognising that your life without him is not life at all!!

There are four different types of people in this world..
.1: The one that has a dream and pursue until the end
.2: The one that has a dream but is distracted by people or other things
.3: The one that HAD a dream put lost it because of negative circumstances
.4: The one that never had a dream and just living life as it comes
We ALL fall under ONE of these categories..
I dont know about you but I'm fighting to be number ONE!


SO NOW its your turn to DECIDE!!! which one are you going to choose. IF YOU NEED ADVICE WITH ANY SITUATION YOU MAY BE FACING: Holla at my email
