May Mentality - The Rise Of A New Breed

It's a new month. May
It's that month. May.
It's that word. May. Allow. Permit. Let.
It's the signal. Time to take action.
It's the clarion call. Hear. Heed.
It's that song. Moving. Forward.
It's the new breed. Takers. Overcomers.
It's the new mentality. Away with the norm.
It's the rebellion. The usual gives way.
It's the emergence of a new system.
It's that time. Time is now. Act.
It's the rise of a new breed. Strong. Determined.
It's the time to march. To Battle. Be Brave.
It's that feeling.
The heart is at the weakest
The battle is at its hottest
Fret Not!
Victory is near!
No time for tears.
Speak to yourself.
Encourage yourself.
May.
Allow.
Permit.
Emit.
Let.
New Month
New breed.
Enlist.
Be the light.
Bring the peace.
Song by Israel Houghton   - Moving Forward.

Poem: Herein is the love that we feel


Herein is the love that we feel
a deep stiring in our souls
a longing desire to make
to break
to explore
to feel
to transcend

Herein is the love that we feel
an inner longing for something deeper
someone true and passionate
to enter the place
where everything works out
where everyone feels loved

Book Review "Ears Wide Open" by Malachi Talabi

There have been timeless controversies around the theme "I heard God" or "God told me", which has resulted in a questionable stance assumed by church and non-church goers every time they hear these words. Question is does God really speak? How do we recognise His voice if He does? Is there any specific formula or principle to hearing Him? Answers might just have come from South London!

Inspiring Stories: British Military Wives Choir with Gareth Malone

"We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender." Winston Churchill

Music has been described as the food of the soul. Everyone has an emotional connection to one form or music or the other. However getting people to sing professionally (especially if they are not interested or never really done it before) can be a daunting task. This seems to be a specialization that Gareth has acquired.

Alexander Victor, Altarsound and WE-III: Trick or Treat?


It's 11.00pm, thursday night in leyton. A group of people are chatting away, getting to know each other better and catching up with lots of jokes + laughs. 11.20pm, the leader calls their attention and after a prayer session they get to the business of the night. It's the first joint rehearsal of Alexander Victor and Altarsound with guest ministers. With Aaron T Aaron, Toye D Toye and Gina Gee in the house and Jake Isaac expected to arrive any moment, it looks like an interesting night.

Question what are these guys all about? What's all the buzz about WE-II "The Love Affair" every minute on Facebook? Is this another "trick" to get us hyped up or a special "treat" for everyone?

Let's find out!

Have you killed your Gadaffi?

Muammar Gadaffi - the king of kings

Is he dead? Or is it just pranks been played on human intelligence? Another propaganda sponsored by the "powers that be" to make us believe what they want us to?

These are questions that we may or may not get clear answers to. But one thing is certain - a group of people had enough of over 40 years of one man's tyranny and decided it was time to rise up! And they were ready to pay the price with their blood! And yes, they did!


What price have you paid to get what you want?

Movie Review: Real Steel - The Fight to Survive

"If you get one shot, make it real" 
 A mix of excitement, emotion plus a touch of life lessons - that's what you get from the movie REAL STEEL. It's not often you get this kind of mix in an action flick. But what amazes me the most is the connection you feel with the characters portrayed - even the robots!

So what's so real about the steel?

How To Sing the September Song

September is significant for various reasons around the world. A few examples:
  • Father's day celebrated on the first Sunday of September in Australia and New Zealand
  • Brazil's independence day is September 7, Chile's September 18, Mexico's September 16 and Uzbekistan's September 1. 
  • First Monday in September is Labour day in USA and Canada
  • September 11 is Patriot day in USA in honour of those who lost their lives in the September 11 2001 attack.
"From a Christian point of view of course we do want a peaceful world, and I think September 11 did actually make people aware not only of vulnerability and how transitory life is, but there are forces of good and honour and justice which speak to us of God and his love for us.  George Carey

Inspiring Stories: Steve Jobs, his apple and the world

"Steve Jobs is a genius. He is an innovator. A visionary. He is perhaps the most beloved billionaire in the world." Andrew Ross Sorkin (NY Times)
 How a college drop-out convinced the world of his capacity to be a genius never stops to intrigue anyone. An adopted child who slept on the floor in his friends' rooms and relied on free meals went on to rule the world. Sometimes you wonder how he does it or what he is thinking.

SMILE - Recession and Depression Therapy

"After every storm the sun will smile; for every problem there is a solution, and the soul's indefeasible duty is to be of good cheer." William R. Alger
This is not exactly a good time in the world. There's the fear of a "second recession" in the USA. The effect of the recent riots in the UK still lingers with businesses counting their losses and families grieving the loss of loved ones. Spending cuts, stock market gloom, retirement benefits seeming insufficient and a sense of disorder around the world - it doesn't look like good times, does it?

So why smile?

The God Factor

Everyone knows "The X Factor" TV Show. It's a massive "interactive talent music show" created by Simon Cowell and has grown into a franchise with an international audience. Amazing, isn't it? A huge emotional following by a massive international audience of various age groups, probably one of the biggest shows on TV.

Out of deep curiosity and desire for knowledge, I set about to research if there was any such thing as the GOD factor. While there's still a huge debate about the existence of God and various scientific theories been expounded to explain the theory of the universe, my sole aim was to discover if there existed an explanation on how the presence of God could create a positive effect in a person's life.

The School of Life

The mind of the intellectual is constantly open to the input of knowledge, for only those who desire not to exist will graduate from the school of life's experiences.
"The ear that hears the rebukes of life will abide among the wise." King Solomon
In the heart of man is found the source, the magnetic force that attracts the essence of life - good or bad.
