Let's Just Get That Clear

Let's Just Get That Clear.

I have popped some popcorn for all of you because today's MPV might be quite entertaining.Pulpits are not only found in church,but the world is a pulpit.Wherever there is a platform or forum to speak and there is an audience,that is a pulpit.

And my God,there are some people who are preaching some 'interesting' gospels on their pulpits.How can one host a show about love,yet they are so cynical about it?A friend of mine commented that the Grinch who stole Christmas is much better,this individual is really mad,(bitter to be precise.)And all I could visualise was Stinkmeaner talking on the radio,(poor listeners.)

Yes,everybody has loved and lost,been hurt,but the whole purpose of life is love.The foundation of the earth is based on love,because the Creator of the Universe is love.Since we are entering the Easter Holiday,I pray for this individual to find the message of hope and love,(they need Jesus and to be soaked in His blood,to remove all that scepticism.)Because the reason why Easter is a public holiday,and some of y'all go off work,is because of a sacrificial,what's the word?Oh yes,LOVE,that God had for humankind,and allowing His only,'sinless',Son to die for mere,'wicked',mortals.That is the greatest love story ever told,(for over 2000 years).

I do agree that love should not be idealised by fairytales and movies,but there should be a realistic approach,however people should never give up on finding love,loving and being loved.It is also a part of the equation of happiness.

Everybody deserves a second chance,and more chances.It is called FORGIVENESS.If an individual ,or two people still want to give their relationship another try,they should.Life is too short not to try.Do not preach a '3 strikes you are out' gospel to people(I know a very good therapist,or counselor,or Rabbi,or better yet,exorcist who can help deal with all that negativity.)

Okay so,happiness.The pursuit of happiness.A good gospel,if you buy into it,and for as long as that happiness does not involve selfishness.But what is happiness?It is a feeling of satisfaction or elation due to positivity in one's life.And what makes people happy?I made an equation for happiness.Happiness=Money+Power/Fame+Success+Sex+Love/Relationship+Entertainment/Leisure+Good health+Being Attractive+Friends+Offspring+Possesions.So basically happiness depends on external influences.You still want to pursue happiness?Imagine a starving child in Sub-Saharan Africa,a woman being raped in war-torn central Africa,people who watched the events of 911 unfold,and lost loved ones in the process,or mothers having deformed babies born in nucleated Hiroshima.Are you going to tell them,be happy!Pursue happiness!*raised eyebrow*

It is good to be happy,everyone should be happy everyday,but what if all the elements that make up happiness are non-existant,or are taken away,does that mean one has stopped living?Being a person of faith,I believe that people should have,(no need to pursue),joy.The King James version of the Bible has no mention of 'happiness',but the word 'joy',which appears more than 300 times,including the word 'rejoice'.

Joy has the same meaning as happiness however,it is not influenced by external factors.Joy is the 'it's okay' motto of life,no matter what life throws at us.'It's okay' that I'm broke;my child died;I've got cancer;there is war in my homeland;I'm single;I'm not goodlooking;I'm disabled,it's okay.Joy says,it is difficult,but I have hope.It might not be today,or tomorrow,but it is well.It gives certain levels of contentment.

On a balance scale,joy outweighs happiness.But a philosopher will always be a philosopher.The pursuit of happiness-philosophy.But this whole discussion goes back to one's fear of being 'vulnerable'.Only the brave truly live,because cowards are afraid of trying,that is why they are philosophical.

There is a law of attraction,you attract the energies you give out.So if you are a Scrooge,well.*shaking my head*

The people who really have joy are the people who live outside themselves.Historically,Joan of Arc,Mahatma Gandhi,Martin Luther King Jnr.,Nelson Mandela,Mother Theresa and of course,Jesus Christ.They all lived for causes that affected 'their' people,for the 'love' of the people,(other people).Life is not a me-factor.

Anyway,at the end of the day,I guess an individual is entitled to their own opinion.What one discusses on their pulpit,reveals their argu-mentality,(one's thoughts).I use my pulpit,my MPV to preach,teach and share the gospel of self-examination which leads to reformation,I encourage empowerment and always inspire hope.

Now you can put the popcorn away.I am not attacking anyone,this is just my point of view.*smile*

Eldom:Use your pulpit as an opportunity to fight for a cause and use it wisely.

'Live to inspire and let God take you higher'.

P.S: Always write your own love story.

Ciao!

Single ladies: Wife material

MPV.....my point of view! Single Ladies: Wifen Material *Royal wave*Hey single ladies,your guide is back.The pursuit for Mr Put-A-Ring-On-It is on.Today I would like to make you a get-a-ring-on-it lady. Now following my articles,'Single Ladies Part 3',where I talked about the prince searching for a 'real princess',or 'Queen';and 'Brown Sugar',where the word 'brown sugar' was defined as wifen material,I would like to talk about 'wifey material'.(Whether we are that). How do we single ladies get that ring-on-it,you ask?By being wifey material.My uncle keeps on telling me,'If you want to become Mrs X,you should be a wife.You are a wife before he puts a ring on it'.What he means is that,a man will treat you the way you portray yourself.How,you ask? Ever noticed the difference between a wife and a girlfriend.Now let me break it down for you.A girlfriend usually,takes life in a more leisurely way;unlike a wife,whose focus is mo...

Like A Love Song

The best ever written love song isn't perfect but it works! 'I,I love you like a love song baby,I,I love you like a love song,babe.....',young Selena Gomez singing,and vocalising what we would all take love as...a LOVE song. The love song. Women can only dream about being loved the way Gerald Levert put it,'made to love you', or have 'this love' a la Donell Jones. And I'm not talking about the exaggerated 'catching of grenades','crossing oceans',drinking of lovers' bath waters.But a love that leaves one gasping for air as they try to breathe in,a love that gives one warm fuzzy feelings inside.A love that also stands the test of time,and conquers all. But is the impression we are given by love songs similar to real relationships?Would a man not want to be 'mad' like Ne-yo, or beg you to 'stay' like Tyrese? Some may agree,whilst others would be at the other end of the pole. In the mean time men might find Beyonc...

Script My Life: The Kissing Booth

With a show of the hands, how many of you have ended up with your crush? I guess I will see in the comments section below. Reminiscing about the complex, simplicity of high school is funny. When you are a teenager,  your whole life seems to be captured in that time capsule. It seems like an eternity before the reality of growing up hits you. As a grown woman, I still indulge in a high school movie or two. I love how cliché and generic the storylines are. Yet they somewhat relate to what a teen is going through or what I related to, once upon a time. I still love the lessons about being true to yourself à la 'Mean Girls', '10 Things I Hate About You' and most recent, 'Reality High'. Y'all high school is hard! I'm not sure what it's like now with social media and cellphones. Back in my day, bullying was physical, rejection was real and your crush wrote a note, or letter to reciprocate your feelings. Funny story, I'm still 'sort of...

The Red Season: Breadcrumbs of Love

No matter how broken you are, a meal of love is what you need. For the first time in a long time, I will admit on this platform, I will admit that I cried. I felt humiliated and hurt. Mariah Carey's "Cry" is playing in my head. I keep asking myself why am I this person? Why do I keep scraping for crumbs of love? Am I not enough? And following a recent disappointment, I reverted to a quote that I saw on a certain blog. "You could have the best intentions, you could have the most sincere feelings, and you could be a good woman and you still wouldn't be able to keep a man because the only way to keep a man is if that man wants to be kept by you,"  Sipho Mbhele. "You could have the best intentions, you could have the most sincere feelings, and you could be a good woman and you still wouldn't be able to keep a man because the only way to keep a man is if that man wants to be kept by you,"  Sipho Mbhele. Gosh, I'm tired of this circus. The fact...

Script My Life: A Fall From Grace

I finally watched 'A Fall From Grace'.... And I don't know what y'all were complaining about, this flick was great! I am currently working from home during these perilous times of the terrifying COVID 19. The company that I work for made a conscious decision to protect its employees by permitting social distancing via staying at home. While I don't mind working in my pyjamas, this isolation would be ideal in a country with reliable electricity, a stable economy and adequate food supply. Please feel free to send donations, plus I need to make my rent, otherwise... A few months later, I finally got to view Tyler Perry’s, "A Fall From Grace". Premiered exclusively on Netflix, the film is a suspense/thriller written, produced, directed and starring Tyler Perry. Impressively, the film was shot in five days, clearly on a minimal budget. Perry is synonymous with featuring in his own movies from the Madea franchise, to 'Why Did I Get Married?', a...
