This is a great week,last night Church service was very touching i should share sometime later, but today i'm more concerned about what is the third biggest killer of mankind after AIDS and Cancer which is suicide.
yet many people are so ignorant about it or rather thinks nuh it aint gonna happen to me, well i've got news for u.
It doesn't matter what your social standing nor your character is,what matters is suicide affect us all.
i've lost friends,family members,teachers,mentors and role models to this thing and i might in future lose more people unless otherwise i take a stand right now and proclaim at the top of my voice and enough is enough with this silent crippling phenomen
People need to turn to God for answers,as i know for a fact that life might be too hard right now to bare with than it were for our parents when they were growing up.
we are faced with dire circumstances like poverty,unemployement, high level of crime, bursary terminations, broken homes, broken marrieges, broken relationship, family fueds, lack of financial sources , intimidations, unnecesarry pressure from the society....
you know this all might be to hard to bare and your anly option might be suicide but hey before you pop those pills nor take that rope to hang yourself or perhaps cork that bullet to your head , maybe jump in front of a moving train even jump from a tall building,
pause; and think about the harm you will course not only to yourself but to those that loves and admires you,at the end of the day it won't be worth it
everytime you're overwhelmed and confused get down on your knees and pray to God like in Jeremiah 33:3 "Call unto me for i shall answer you & show u things you've never imagined"
suicide is never the answer and i'd like to apologise on behalf of the society to us as men there are whole lot level of expectations placed upon our heads in terms of how we should act,behave,dress even talk. this has since added unnecessary pressure to our fragile minds, soul and heart....
as Men let us unite and take a stand againt Suicidal tendencies that are so crippling us especially in the black society, it ain't worth it to take your on life over a mere squabble even God nor Jesus neither the Holy spirit will be happy with such decision hence the bible in Isiah says "God knows the plans he has for you,which are plans to prosper you not to harm you"
The Bible also states that "God fore-knew you long before you were concieved,he already had plans in motion for you prior to your birth"

and please always take a person who have threatened to take their own lives serious and always alert a social worker,pastor,teachers or any trusted elder or if you a person that is reading this might be thinking of taking your own life,kindly inbox me i'll avail time to meet with you and help were i can
in conclusion "IF SOMEONE STEPS OUT OF YOUR PRESSENCE UNCHANGED,THEN YOU WERE NOT NECESSARY"
till then be blessed
