Halt The Tide of Suicide


It was a cold Saturday morning. Everything is about to even become colder as four persons, from different parts of the world, will pass through another phase.

Vivian jumps off the top of a twelve storey building because she can’t bear the thought of losing her husband and kids to a fatal plane crash some months back.

Trisha, a world class publicist, stands in front of a high speed moving train, upon being dumped at the eleventh hour by her fiance. 

Makuena picks up a loaded gun and pulls the trigger on himself. The picture of his loved ones being casualties of their country’s civil war was too much to accept.

Lee simply gives up the ghost after drinking a poisonous substance because he lost everything to a global economic meltdown.

These characters have one thing in common. Each of them is a victim of suicide.

What is suicide? To simply define this, taking one’s life or putting it in danger is suicidal. People do it in different ways. They can jump off tall storey buildings and in front of moving trains or vehicles. Others can shoot themselves, hang with ropes and consume any deadly substance.

Those are some ways, among others, in which suicide can be committed. Why suicide? A deep sense of loss, sorrow and loneliness often make people to consider suicide.

Is suicide worth it? The answer is NO! It is never worth being considered.
You’re more important to humanity than you’ll ever know!

HAVE YOU EVER TRIED TO PREVENT SUICIDE?



Are You All Right?


On the way home, after a very busy working day

Imagine witnessing a silly car accident with something to say

An absent-minded driver just had an accident in the presence of passersby

The situation appeared so ridiculous that each witness wondered why

When he alighted, one of the passersby asked, “are you all right?”

To everyone’s surprise, he responds, “what do you think?…Am I supposed to be all right?”

HOW RIDICULOUS WAS THAT SCENARIO?

Jesus and His Twelve Homies


This is about the greatest hero to ever walk across the face of the earth. 

Recently, I heard about some people insinuating that Jesus Christ of Nazareth was gay because His twelve homies were all males! What the hell was that? 

Allow me to look at it from a different perspective for good. Check out some of His homies before they were eventually redeemed by Jesus Christ. Peter {the rock} was ridiculous. John {the beloved} was an overgrown baby. Thomas was as skeptical as hell. Matthew was a shrewd tax collector. Judas Iscariot, on his own part, was the greatest snitch that ever lived. Come on, if he can betray Jesus Christ, then the entire world stands no chance.

With all the issues these guys had to deal with, on their own, besides lots of miracle seekers always stalking them, there is no way they could have been humping one another.

Again, although Jesus Christ never got married, is that enough reason to assume He was gay? Such a thought is sick and uncalled for.

Lord have mercy!

ARE YOU STILL SLANDERING JESUS CHRIST?


The Troublesome Husband


One day, a troublesome husband comes to his senses and says to his spouse, “baby, from now onwards, I’ll always carry you along as my priority.”

Out of shock, his wife feels his pulse and says, “sweetie, are you feeling sick?…The only time you’re this nice to me is whenever you're under the weather.”

Are you always nice to your spouse?
