I WAS WONDERING THE STREETS LOOKING FOR INSPIRATION TO TURN THOUGHTS INTO  WORDS TO SPEAK TO MY GENERATION.

I FOUND MYSELF IN THE WRONG PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME AND STANDING IN FRONT OF ME WAS THE PAST GENERATION WHO ASKED ME 1 QUESTION “WHY IS YOUR GENERATION FAILING?”

AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT I DREW MY BLUNT SWORD THAT COULDN’T DELIVER THE KILLER STRIKE,MY OBVIOUS RESPONSE WAS “YOUR GENERATION NEVER LAID A FOUNDATION FOR US TO BUILD ON I GUESS ITS EASIER TO BLAME US THAN TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR WRONG”.

BUT HAVE I EVER THOUGHT OF IT,HMMM OR MAYBE AM JUST QUICK TO RESPOND TO IT YET I FREQUENTLY QOUTE TO MYSELF “I WAS BORN IN THE WRONG GENERATION”.

MY BLUR VISION BEGAN TO SEE THE CLEAR PICTURE OF A FOUNDATION GIVEN YET  WE CHOOSE TO PLAY THE ROLE OF BLOCKS THE BUILDER REJECTED AND SHOULD I SPEAK OF APATHY A DISEASE THAT’S QUICKLY SPREADING , THE SAD THING IS WE HAVE ALL BEEN INFECTED.

SYMPTOMS INCLUDE LACK OF INTEREST YET WE SHOW INTEREST IN WHAT THE DOCTORS LABELLED NONSENSE

MOMENT OF SILENCE FOR THE FALLEN SOLDIER CALLED IDENTITY ,HE LEFT BEHIND UNIQUENESS WHO GOT BACK STABBED BY ENVY.

PICTURE THIS ! ONE CHARACTER PLAYED BY MANY ACTORS , THE FLICKS TAUGHT US HOW TO SPEAK , ACT AND DRESS TO IMPRESS AT THE OF THE DAY WE FALL ASLEEP ON THE PILLOW OF STRESS

I HERD THE LOVE YOU GIVE IS THE LOVE YOU RECEIVE WITHOUT SELF CONTENTMENT THAT LOVE WILL NEVER BE.

BUT I HAVE A SOLUTION FOR MY GENERATION AND HIS NAME IS GOD YES “God One Done” GOD WHO GAVE US HIS SON.

WHO’S RESHAPING MY GENERATION, STANDING ON A FOUNDATION THAT SAYS” SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND THE REST WILL FOLLOW”

NOW WE WALK BY THE LIGHT OF HIS WORD AND NEVER ASHAMED OF HIS GOSPEL. WE ARE MADE IN HIS IMAGE EACH TAILOR FITTED WITH UNIQUENESS AND IDENTITY THAT SPEAKS FOR US MORE TO THE MASSES.

WE SHOW LOVE COZ HE FIRST LOVED US,WE NO LONGER KNOW THE IMPOSSIBLE CAUSE THE WORD SAYS I’M POSSIBLE.

WHERE THE PAST GENERATION SAID THERE’S NO WAY OUR GOD SAYS YAH-WEH.
