Indebted to love you...

Starting recently my life has been going through changes, my whole outlook towards life has indeed changed and I must confess I have never been more content and thankful for every day, every night, every passing moment in this world. I can finally say with great and unshakable confidence that I have now got onto the road that will see me get to my life's purpose, my raison d'etre so to speak.
This does not however mean that am free of challenges, of downs, free of trials as I'd like to call them. In fact am now in even greater conflict with them than ever before, the urge to give in to my desires, my selfishness, my ego and self-centered living is greater and more powerful than ever before! Not a moment goes past when am not tempted to look away from Jesus Christ and worship my own self. It is a difficult challenge, giving up your own interests in favor of another's but it is one that by the Grace of God am looking towards and seeking to practice at every opportunity regardless of the conflict of my weak flesh. I see these trials now more clearly as opportunities of growth, that will leave me ultimately in a better position to express Christ, and be more like Him. These opportunities will mature me as a Christian, as a follower of Christ and a better instrument of God. I strongly believe that with Christ inside me, I have been empowered, made more than capable to handle all trials that come to my path as I walk this journey of life on earth as God himself declares he will not give me a trial I cannot overcome.
Last night was a clear example for me of my relentless struggles. As we watched a game of basketball with the lads, my old self seemed to come back to the fore and I cld have gone on with it and lost the battle. It is in such moments that I am grateful to God for surrounding me with a lovely bunch of family and friends with whom I take this journey, people who I can rely on for support and guidance through it all. So here is to love, here is selflessness, here is to knowing Jesus Christ, to completion of life and the real joy of living. @DekendeLiving #ProjectDekende

Just who do the Egyptians think they are eh?

Today I am going full bloodied on this because it is not only inhuman but absolute carnage by the Egyptians but also the people in bed with them over the Nile water sharing agreement!, but first the facts! 1. The Nile Water Agreement of 1929, granting Egypt the lion's share of the Nile waters, was drawn up at a time when Egypt was a British satellite, regarded as strategically crucial by London because of the Suez canal, which controlled access to India. The agreement is now in effect enforced by international donors, who are reluctant to advance funds for major river projects that will upset Egypt, a key Arab ally of the US in the Middle East. Sub-Saharan countries cannot match Egypt's diplomatic clout, but they face a dilemma as a major untapped resource rolls through their territories. "We have reached a stage where all the Nile basin countries are confronted by domestic development challenges," said Halifa Drammeh, a deputy director of the United Nations environme

About Religious fundamentalism!

Wikipedia refers to fundamentalism as a belief in a strict adherence to an established set of basic principles (often religious in nature), sometimes as a reaction to perceived doctrinal compromises with modern social and political life. I on the other hand perceive it as a reluctance or better still the complete refusal to engage or in a mind set that is contradictory to your own. It is the extreme form of radicalism to me! Now in the last couple of days, President Barrack Hussein Obama ( as his tormentors so affectionately like to refer to him) has got the hard end of christian fundamentalists all over the world (but more so in the U.S) for his purported indifference at the proposed construction of a mosque right next to the site of the fateful September the 11th bombings in New york city. Because of that, a recent survey shows that 18% of Americans surveyed think President Obama is a Muslim, many argue that he is not in that case worthy to hold office simply because they believe to

Confessions of a non+alcoholic!

Some time last year I decided after what was fast becoming a pretty obvious pattern of life, that I needed to try something new, something different, I needed an experiment of some sort, only this time i was the guinea pig. So after a few moments of thought, well a little bit less than that I came to my decision, never mind the stark nudity in the social consequences involved. What I had decided on was alcohol, yes I know that sounds very wrong especially if you are me from even the most acute of angles but then again yes, besides this was an experiment and I could add purely for research reasons, as the Japanese say each time they are hunting our precious whales. Now obviously I was a very new entrant in the market but my knowledge for the drug was not of a new born, I knew a thing or two and that came in handy. On the few occasions when the 'laboratory 'was in good order I asked only for what the not so ordinary twenty something year old would define as the "sexy"
