I find it good for my first post to be the speech i made at my local church after watching courageous the movie. it left no stone unturned in my life.
good morning i commerced.
i have lived to see what faithlessness to the heart of children but more specifically, the effect it has done on my life.
my parents divorced three months after i was conceived and dad died two years after i was born.
for those of you who still have fathers, you have no glimpse of how empty a child becomes after losing a father.
My mother has from then sacrificed her life for my survival,
i praise God for her.
she has worked the whole of her life to make me a man but all she could make me was a lady she was.
Where was the father? she is not meant to carry the burden alone.
Because of the decisions he had mad in the past, he could not live after i was two years of age.
From all that, i have two options,
to use my fathers failures as a stumbling block where i too will fall or to use it as a stepping stone under my feet where i will reach greater heights.
In my life the decision has already been made. that's no longer a question.
that regardless of what my father did not give me or do for me,
i will give the strength of my arms to love and protect my family.
I will love my dad he gave me the best he had which was his one spam that makes me live today.
our fathers wanted a change in the communities and families they live in but they either didn't know how to do it or they procrastinated the idea and the responsibility.
they did, i will not.
i will not miss the opportunity of leaving a godly legacy for the next generation.
there are some people out there who because of the mistakes they have made in the past think its too late.
you know what friend, his grace is sufficient, for his power is made perfect in our weakness. 2 Corinthians 12 : 9
as a young man you don't need to first get there then figure of what to do.
its time we embraced the vision of manhood and fatherhood now, there is no time for waiting.
for as a man you are fully accountable to God for the power of influence he has given you in your home.
some men will discourage us and say; wait until you get there.
but i say NO, there is a common standard that judges both the married and singles,
one God who works with in the married and singles, one bible, one God, and it is in him we ulcer our faith and trust.
Now when i hear the old men telling of heroes,
telling of great deeds of ancient days,
then i think with in me..... i too am one of them.
i too when the time comes shall do mighty.
and you know what; this is the time. there is no better time than now.
kiggundu wilson bilis someday.
