Who Am I?

"The gospel in bite size chunks"
 
I am a spoken word Christian poetry artist
 
Pay close attention if you still don't know what that is
 
I use normal words to describe things am moved to speak about by God

My poems will sometimes be long which some people find odd
 
But hey am not the poet... God is
I cant tell him when it's time up ...it's up when he's done speaking
 
But don't worry... I won't loose you with big words
 
He wants you to get this message right with no missed words
 
I won't use insanely deep and complex metaphors in my description
I won't cause you to over think scratching your hair damaging your follicles searching your vocabulary of English diction
 
Am breaking the gospel to you in bite size chunks
 
Using words very familiar to you to subtract the confusion while add clarity and multiply your understanding
 
In straight English.. Taking the subject matter and on it "Shedding more light"
 
Of the the son Jesus so your walks on earth may be in his sight... Just Right!!!
This is what am calling ... Spoken words....

Let's Talk Love!!

"It is the burning flames of love that help you keep the promise...
Jesus Christ demonstrated he greatest love ever..."
                                                                                                 -Bright M Bwalya.



Telling someone you love them is promising that you will look past their mistakes...

Help the become better people and give them the support they need to get through the hurts...

It's not a once in never out prison... But a place... Scratch that a home... Where you find peace companionship joy happiness friendship.. And most of all.. True love...

You do not stay together because you promised each other...

But you stay together because love helps you get through it all...

Remember its not the promise that keeps the love burning...

It is the burning flames of love that help you keep the promise...

Jesus Christ demonstrated he greatest love ever...

He left his throne of glory... Made a plan to redeem man and put himself in the story...

He gave up life so we can have life and have it in abundance...

He stays by our side not because he promised to never leave us nor forsake us...

He stays because his love for us causes him not to abandon us...

If we are to love ... That is the example we must emulate...

Not the Disney movies chic flicks or Telemundo you watch till late...

Those will teach you to be quick to get... Such is lust... What it has only lasts a short while....

John 3:16 says ...For God so loved the world that he "Gave"... Such is the way of love... It is patient to give... What it has cannot be lost...not even with time...

If you feeling a sense of doubt ... Ask your self why Jesus waited 33 years to do what he would have done in a blink of an eye...

Ask yourself why even on our sinfulness he is patient in his dealings with you and I...

Love forgives ... Does not condemn nor does it  keep account of wrongs...it helps find solutions that will lead to washing the sinner and leaving him spotless...

We do the opposite...we feel good when we hear how much in sin others a living or how someone has back sliden ... We feel good because we are not as sinful as they are...

Are you sure???

Christ said let he who has not sinned cast the first stone... We have condemned and remained stoneless...

Let's be filled with love for our friends living in sin... Truthfully speaking their sin is just a bit more obvious than our self righteousness and other sins we commit ... Good example being the sin of omission...

We are saved yo serve.... Live the world and live the word... Love God emulate home alone...

I Dated A Girl Named World...


I remember it like it was yesterday 
when I saw her…

The envy of every man she was…

Every one chased her no matter what in fact… 
they were willing to chase even if it meant 
running through walls…

And those … who tasted her love where addicted 
to its sweet sting …

And sweet… sixteen’s who never tasted her love grew an unquenchable thirst for it…

They itched… for her love to  savor …

Moreover… those that had her before spoke of adventures with her that where better off left untold…

They rang... 
ideas in young minds which …
when mixed with a pinch of curiosity and a dash of worldly inclination began to unfold…

Revealing evils worse than those we had 
from days of old…

Her name is world…
And I had fallen for her…

When I saw her I thought a fling would be fun…

Sunny… the day I saw her… 
and I thought forever it would be so…

Because she… was promised to me like the warmth of the sun…
But when she came she smelled of death 
like a bullet from a gun…

Our love affair was over long before it begun….

She promised me a lot of things in addition to what I had…
But when it all ended I was left with this…
Cold… frozen dead beat and numb heart …

So of ice I turned… 
I lost the ability to love or feel it…

And she claimed it was unintended…

But I could tell from how it ended she …
Had this all planed out it seemed like a routine…

But still young teens… 
fall for her hoping for a different outcome …

And how come!!! … 
am the rule and not the exception!??…
Her reception 
was different from the check out … 
I remember she was nicer…

But she left me broken… 
torn lacerated fractured…

The pain was real could tell from all the fallen heart structures…

I was tormented by bad choices
made obvious by my contusions broken bones and fractures…

Such an actor… she convinced me she loved me ….
Now am convinced she’s something else …

Let’s call her lust… 
the complete opposite of love…

I blame myself though… 
I knew what love looked like …
But I ignored all signs and I settled for its look alike…

Look alive!!! 
She shouted 
whenever I would try to have a quiet time with my bible …

She was jealous rude 
and did not rejoice in the truth the bible…
Was her enemy and not a friend …

My friends … 
said she was never kind 
but blinded by lust I advised them… 
“Never mind her, shell come around”…

But she moved around 
boasting in her fortune 
and rejoicing in the misery of others …

I was bothered now … 
by her inability to put others first … 
it was like she thirsts to be viewed as being better than others…

And worst of all 
she never dreamt of a future with me… 
I was just a pawn in her game…
Called lust… 

I know her so believe me when I say…
I once dated a girl named world…

Opportunity Is Merely a Chance Prepared For

"opportunity  is the chance that happens to those prepared"  - Mbuyu Lucas Makayi.


Like many of you I have had the chance to do many things in my life that if I had made prior preparation for … well let’s just say I would be where I am but with a twist to it. 

What do I mean? Well let me break it down for you, see the average youth today is occupied most of the time with the thought of making money, they ponder on this idea from as early in life as 13 years of age.

This is good except they forget the key ingredient in this recipe for success, Planning. Yes young bloods it’s an unfamiliar word I get it… you liked to “wing it” … you know just jump into it and discover how deep later. The surprise is most youths don’t realise they have the right drive... to have money of course without the politics of your passions ambitions and road maps. In the end we all drive towards the same hill… money it’s what we want right?

Well like I said, most youths have the idea of a good life but they lack the necessary wheels that will set their dream in motion and that is the ability to plan how exactly they are going to get to where they want to be and how they can turn chances into opportunities. 

Yes in case you are wondering, I am saying stop waiting for opportunities and utilize the chances you have to make opportunities yourselves. It is only when you plan adequately that you will see opportunities flaunt themselves before your very eyes.

So then, what must we do as youths? Well we are all gifted uniquely and the fact that we have young minds means we can use our gifting in ways unseen before. The only thing we miss is to plan. 

If you want to succeed in your studies, plan your study strategy well enough for it to see you through your academic year with good grades, if you love art i.e. music, poetry and whatever other kind there is, well be well versed in the areas you wish to speak about in your art genre that entails reading… a lot.

Because just like the caption says… Opportunity… is but a chance that happens to those who have prepared for it.

STAINED!

In the beginning was the word the word was With God and the word was God...

In him was life and that life...was the light of men...

This word later became flesh and dwelled among men....

Preached and re-preached the word never did and still doesn't seem to stick....

Stick like the sticks beating the back of Christ as he... took the wrath originally meant for us when the... anger of God was at its peak...

Beaten bludgeoned mocked and teased...

As the soldiers looked upon him with a smile I guess by their deeds they were pleased...

Tortured tormented and bruised...

Even at the height of his pain he was thinking of.... You.... And me...

Have u ever known love so unconditional...

That even at the height of pain he chose to die for us even though he knew we...  Would constantly sin...

This groom married his bride knowing she will constantly cheat...

He still gave his life for yours... And mine...  Something our works never gained...

And yet even after hearing about his suffering for us we still have the same heart condition... Stained...

Like the sheets that wiped the blood that dripped from Christ...

Still... Clinging on to our sin like a... leach to our skin sucking out the blood from this body to my feet...

If... life is in the creature's blood it's safe to say the sins we cling to suck the life out of us...

But we do it still... Comfortable in our sins we don't imagine moving...

Life becomes .... Not living but mere surviving...

I know we say Christian life is hard well...

I also know complex things in life come with manuals...

And I just gave you Emanuel...

Christ...the way...

His death on the cross defeated sin and paved the way....

For all men to be free from the earthly bonds of sin...

The Bible says you will know the truth and the truth shall set you free....

Jesus Christ is this truth....

Remember if In the beginning was the word the word that later became flesh and dwelled among men then Christ's continuous reference to the words he spoke as being the truth meant he preached him who in himself is the complete and absolute truth....

Develop a personal relationship with Christ Jesus while you still have the time...

He will tell you about all things him...

More than you've ever learnt from a song or a worship hymn...

He desires to know you personally...

Pick up your cross carry it with pride and discover what the special purpose he saw in you is that was so good... it was to die for...

His love is a force you can't deny....

Check your life and decide on your own its really no matter of force...

But I do know when he begins to look for you it will be Story of Jonah... The sequel...

So when I sit down and intercede for you I will say ... May his force be with you...

Are you really going to pass up this chance to worship him...

Are you going to give your life to him for keep or will you just like the words i speak...

              Thank you....
