Lord’s will
Its me you hate i heard so.
Then me you killed not my soul’
With a sword my head you cut.
You left vultures chopping me but
I’m alive my spirit forever endures.
Its not over my spirit ensures.
Though i am buried my copse is over
But upon yourself my spirit hover.
It griefs me that you can’t escape,
Because my palms you stay and step,
But i loved you thats so strange,
Your offsprings suffers if revange.
So do mine since my life you did steal
So let be done thy lord’s will.
Hope’s songs of redemption
The Making of a Unique Band
“By the rivers of Babylon I sat and wept,” thus sang the long- suffering Hebrews in their time of Babylonian captivity. They found themselves singing God’s song in a strange land. But though the song speaks of tears, it is actually a song of hope and redemption. The very act of singing it meant that the singers had in actual fact symbolically freed themselves. And, in these turbulent times we live in, we need songs and singers with enormous emotional power that can heal our grief, assuage our anxieties and allow us to hope for a better future. Hope Masike neKakuwe have it in them to do just this and more.

Who are you?
Magnanimity is the quality of the person who knows himself or herself to be worthy of great honors. The person who overestimates self-worth is conceited, and the person who underestimates self-worth is pusillanimous. – Aristotle
The knowledge of oneself is the foundation of breakthrough and success. I believe that the lack of this knowledge is often the source of the greatest failure: success in the wrong assignment. It is therefore imperative that one diligently introspects and above all, finds out from the creator himself who one has been made to be. There is no manufacturer who comes up with a product without first contemplating what it will be used for. Likewise, there is no single person in existence who is just here for no specific reason. “Thine eyes did see mine unformed substance; And in thy book they were all written, Even the days that were ordained for me, When as yet there was none of them.” – Psalm 139:16 Read more
