Tune in every Sunday to 'Reflections of a Young Ambassador', subscribe through my blog.

About Me

"For as he thinks in his heart, so is he." I am a deep thinker and my blog is reflective of this fact. Last year I posted a series of blogs entitled the Reflections of a Young Ambassador. This year I have started a new series, In Deep Thought. If you are a deep thinker like myself who likes to spark your intellect with challenging and thought provoking questions, check out the blog and subscribe.KEEP IT KING, KEEP IT KINGDOM!

My Interests

i AM AN ACHIEVEMENT ORIENTED INDIVIDUAL, WHO SEEKS THE BETTERMENT OF THE SOCIETY WE LIVE IN AND THE WORLD AT LARGE BY USING THE INNATE GIFTS, TALENTS, AND QUALITIES THAT GOD HAS BIRTHED IN ME. i HAVE A PASSION TO SEE INDIVIDUALS BEING THEMSELVES, THROWING AWAY THE MASKS THAT COVER THE TRUTHS THAT LAY WITHIN, i LOVE HELPING PEOPLE FIND THEIR POTENTIAL. i ENJOY A HEALTHY WORKOUT, BE IT PHYSICAL OR COGNITIVE. YOU CAN ALWAYS CATCH ME IN THE GYM OR IN A BOOK, WHEN i'M NOT AT WORK.

I'd like to meet:

Most people would probably say some famous celebrity, artist or someone from the past but i'd most like to meet my future 'me' and ask him what i need to know to achieve the success that he has achieved.

Music:

NOTHING NEGATIVE, STR8 UP POSITIVE ROUND HERE. DEPENDING ON MY MOOD, i TEND SWITCH GENRES LIKE A CHAMELEON, YOU COULD SAY i'M VERY ECLECTIC. GENRES i PARTICULARLY LISTEN TO R; GOSPEL, RAP, JAZZ, SOUL, OLD SKOOL, AFRO BEAT, FUJI GARBAGE, ROCK.(watch the truth behind hip hop). BUT i'M VERY DISCERNING ABOUT WHAT i LISTEN TO i DON'T LIKE ALL THAT GUN TALK AND AUDIO PORNOGRAPHY. KEEP IT KING, KEEP IT KINGDOM.

Movies:

THE MAKING OF A GODLY MAN-Ravi Zacharias

Television:

AFTER READING THIS QUOTE I CUT DOWN MY TV HOURS NICELY, YOU SHOULD TOO; "the average American watches more than 4 hours of TV each day (or 28 hours/week, or 2 months of nonstop TV-watching per year). In a 65-year life, that person will have spent 9 years glued to the tube." I AIN'T GOT NO TIME TO WASTE. BUT IF I DO WATCH TV I'LL PROBABLY WATCH SOME COMEDY OR THE DISCOVERY CHANNEL. WE NEED TO BE IN-FORMATION AND NOT MIS-INFORMATION (get it...you will l8ter)

Books:

The Bible (A manual for Man, the creation) by God (the Creator), Rediscovering the Kingdom by Dr. Myles Munroe, The Four Loves by C.S Lewis, Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis, Can Man Live Without God by Ravi Zacharias, The Chicken Soup for the Soul collection by Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen.

Heroes:

"The hero is one who kindles a great light in the world, who sets up blazing torches in the dark streets of life for men to see by."-Felix Adler. Jesus Christ Is my Hero. Died for my sins, set me free from bondage, you know the stuff we always hear. But its not just that that makes him my hero, its his behaviour, his sayings, and most importantly his love. Christ's love is the only real love John 15:13 says There is no greater love than to lay down ones life for those one loves Christ died for us to be reunited with God and to restore what Adam lost, the Kingdom of God. It's here now so lets tap into it before it's too late.

IDT-9: If God is good, then why is there evil and suffering in the world?

Why does God allow so much evil and suffering in the world? Is it rational to believe in an omnibenevolent (perfectly good) God with all the evil and suffering present in this world? How does one reco...
