God's PMTCT

PMTCT stands for Prevention of Mother To Child Transmission. This term is commonly used in the case of a pregnant woman with HIV. Because of the threat of passing the virus to the unborn, certain measures are put in place to protect the child during the period of the pregnancy and afterbirth.

I became familiar with the reality of HIV/AIDS while working with an NGO that was into creating awareness, protection and advocacy. My role included production of their magazine and other consumables.
As a result of this, I had physical contact with PLWH  which is acronym for People Living With HIV.

On an occasion, I interviewed a medical doctor on the effects of Antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) on PLWs. The medical man helped broaden my knowledge on the grave danger the virus poses to the unborn, especially if the mother is not adhering to the use of the ARVs.
However, the child need not be infected if the PMTCT rules are adhered to.

I wrote the above to butress the fact that,
A child may suffer the consequences of the sins/mistake of his forebears. Also, the fact that one can break free  from evil ancestry.
Hence, I titled this piece - God's PMTCT.

...The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge?
Ezekiel 18:2

Getting tested is the first step in treating HIV. Therefore, know your status, what is out of place, a negative pattern... etc.
Another general advice will be praying. However, because we are faced with varying circumstance, the Holy Spirit is our best bet in addressing individual issues.

...But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. John16:13

Curses or blessings can be handed down from one generation to the next. If it's a blessing be grateful but it's its the opposite, with God you can break free.

For everyone born of God overcomes the world... 1 John 5:4

Tolerate my Religion

There's too much hate in our world today.
Surprisingly, religion also contributed to its spread
The love boat is conveying a hate message
Beasts serving as religious heads are the captains

Firstly, you are human and so am I.
Religion is something we came to, by descent.
Any religion that does not have respect for his fellow man is criminal.
Inciting hate, killings, destruction is evil

Religious tolerance is seldom preached.
Some wants to win the next over by force.
Several believe his religion is superior...
And his/her God is supreme

Your theories of hate can't come from reading a holy book.
How can you justify your love to God by destroying another human.
Serve your god without disturbing the next.
Almighty God does not need a man to defend his course via blood shed

I have read the Holy Books, you should too.
Stop listening to teachers of hate.
Seek out the truth yourself. God is love.
Religion not practiced in love is criminal

We started out as humans.
We grew up practicing religion as influenced by descent.
If you use your influence over another to incite violence...
You will certainly not miss your reward(s)

Love the God you can't see by loving his creation.
Love your neighbor, Preach love,  Shun hate
Remember you will face this God soon...

If it's by force, it's no good

The Coming Change 2

Do not kill yourself. Don't commit suicide
Change is a constant thing in life
That problem is not worth you killing yourself
Death is no escape. Don't end your eternity in hell

Depression is hitting hard on our world
What we hear is feeding our senses with despair
The news is no more palatable
The simple solution is to feed your mind with edifying information

Life is a precious gift from God
We all will give account of our sojourn here
Don't take the life you did not create
Please, stop that thought trend

The more you think in the negative
The deeper you sink into despair
Snap out of it. Take a deep breath
Tomorrow is going to be all right

Miracles still happen
There's still good in the land
Your future will be better
It's going to end in joy

The one that benefits from your death is satan
He has got you where he wanted
We all face mountains atimes
But somehow we overcame

Help is just around the corner
There's a silver lining in your sky
The bearer of your good news approaches
Stay and withness your beautiful end

I have it, I hail it, I use it

All hail Jesus, such wonder, such name.
The name I hail and the devil flee swiftly
What! Who dares to resist...
In all realms, Jesus name is hailed as Lord 

Jesus Christ is Lord of my life and home
With Him i have victories, winning...
I have come to understand the power in His name...
I hail it, I use it

His name is known and called everywhere...
But not all who call the name enjoy his benefits
An unshaking faith in the bearer is key
How I wish, I can make you understand...

So highly exalted yet chooses to associate with the lowly
He is love. His love is real without biasness
No discrimination of race, colour or class
He accepts all, He loves all

The name Jesus is one name you must know
You must belong to Him to enjoy the wonders in His name
Come, meet with Him...
Make Him your Lord be a partaker of His name

Here's a little help...
Jesus come be the Lord of my life,  forgive me my sins and make me yours today. I want to know you, please reveal yourself to me.  Amen

If you have His name, use it, enjoy...

...Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Acts 4:12


Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
Philippians 2:9-10

The Coming Change

Change is a constant thing in life
Each passing day growing takes place unnoticed
A change for the better is always a delight
As no one wants a turn for the worse

In life we go through divers changes

We also learn from the things that happen to us
While we all desire to stay in pleasant happenings...
Life tend to come with bitter pills atimes

For Job in the Bible, he moved from one extreme of success to failure
But at the end of his life, sweetness was gotten
For a child of God, you have a pleasant future
Your end will always be better

Tell the righteous it will be well with them, for they will enjoy the fruit of their deeds.
Isaiah 3:10

Expect joy, there's a new day ahead
The bitterness of yesterday will soon become history
The troubles will soon be over
You are coming out of that pit

Your desired change must be expected and demanded for in prayers.
Your prayers must be built on a strong faith in the desired end
Prepare for your change.  Speak of your coming change

Soon you will live your dream
It's your right to enjoy goodness

Just Rain

It started like a normal day
Everyone went about their day as planned
Suddenly the rain started, some ran indoors
Others just carried on despite

Rain is fun when it comes in moderation
But this rain has carried on for weeks 
It's becoming a bother...

No answers, just rain 

Gutters are filled, rooftops are quickly disappearing

Everyone is forced out in their life jackets

All scramble for any wood to latch onto

It was a gory sight. No emergency responder sighted

Just in a distance they sight a huge boat
It belongs to our eccentric neighbor; Noah
He had been hammering while we mocked him

We won't drown after all they thought

Noah!!! they called out, open the door for us!!!
But the doors were not locked by Noah
That generation perished because they rejected God
We are in days just as Noah's; rain is coming

We can choose to carry on just like Noah's neighbours

We can even mock those who remind us of the coming Messiah

But will you take a moment to rethink the call to salvation

This world and its fullness will end someday

When the trumpet call will sound, will you go
Jesus Christ is coming... are you prepared

No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven,

 nor the Son, but only the Father
As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.
For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, 

marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark;

and they knew nothing about what would happen 

until the flood came and took them all away.
That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man
Mathew 24:36-39

This is the time to join the Lord's company
This is the time to live right

i implore you to decide for Jesus NOW

Pray...Lord Jesus please have mercy on me.

I acknowledge my sins before you.forgive and help me live right 

Please come into my heart and life. help me know you more

and whenever you return don't leave me behind.

This is a simple prayer but it's a start to a new beginning

Let's hear from you, and be a part of your journey to discovering God's love
