A TRIED MAN - Kehinde Osunrinde

               

Is it not funny that virtue is gradually becoming a thing of the past, this generation of violence and disdain act which has lose its savor. I look and cry around for a ‘’TRIED MAN’’, but they are becoming as scarce as commodity. Gone are the days when I used to believe our generation will liberate the world. Rather,we are digging a ditch for ourselves and our unborn children. The scenario of tried and tested men began after the fall of Adam. Man began to be tried, tested and approved for that great assignment. 

<Abram was tried and tested before he was called Abraham the father of faith.

<Joseph encountered tribulations and he was tried {psalm 105:17-22}, and the lord caused a great famine in the land of Egypt that made Joseph a solution in his generation.

<Esther, a woman of honour who liberated her people and became a peacemaker.

<Mary {mother of Jesus}, a woman of virtue and a blessing to humankind, she birthed salvation to the world; blessed is she amongst women.

<Jesus, the rock of salvation, he was tempted, beaten, crucified and rose again . He is the beginning and the only end.

Alas! I see perversion. It has now become a trend for old men or fathers to sleep with their little girls. Men changing their physique to look like a woman. It is not just  earthquake but humanquake, not natural disaster but artificial one; which we created by ourselves for ourselves, and at the end of such; the common saying comes out wide,” it is  the devil’s work’’. Oh no!, That’s a lie. The devil is not omnipresent, he cannot be everywhere and will never use a man who is not fit..

Let’s stop being an embodiment of a beast, or being religious fanatics. Stop that act of me alone. It is high time we dropped this life of a mediocre and embrace virtue. Let there be a rising army. Let sons and daughters of God emerge, and let virtue rise again

We are going to stop planting the seeds of pestilence.

               WHAT A WORLD

                             On our knees                                                 

                              Our dear Divine,

                              Humans at the verge of crashing

                              Failed character birthing crashed destiny

                              Wisdom has lost its dignity as a by product of experience

                              Wisdom is now elusive in nature.

                              Virtue has lost  her root

                              Helpless are we in the face of frustration.

                             

                              Lord Divine,

                              Deliver us from quaking

                              Help us to resist the devil

                              That we may raze hell

                              And blaze the trail.

                              Try us and find us worthy

                              Give us the right strategy to win

                                     this battle of self,
