WHY STAMMERING IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AFRICANS ARE IGNORANT OFF

One time I was shocked, was devastated when I saw a channel in Africa run adverts and interview people who have stammered on some of their experiences and how it has affected him. Because of stammering, He couldn’t take promotions and independently discarded himself from certain jobs like Journalism, Public Relations Officer and Customer Service because it dealt with meeting people every now and then and he didn’t have the energy to go about talking without thinking about how his body reacts every now and then. What happened out of his experiential knowledge was a group of people who were ignorant of the subject and were laughing mercilessly because they see it as a thing that is used to make fun of its victim and not something that has become a block to the victim or bearer realizing his true vision and potentials.

Stammering in Africa is not heard or talked about, sometimes it seems people do not even research about it and know the effects it has on its bearer so that people would know how to deal with a person with that problem. Everything has been covered with the colour of the skin of black people and there is no chance for a light to shine. Many people even regard people who stammer as people who do not share and are not competent enough but people who are closer to such people know what it’s all about.

If you have time, scroll through the number of countries who are part of the International Federation and you would be shocked at the numbers you would find. When I went down researching about the assistive device that seems to be suppressing the impediment in people, I just relaxed when I came across the SPEECHEASY device which was introduced some years back. The device has been around for long but how many of them are found on the African market. Their website directed me to a sales point in Africa where a message was duly sent via mail but up to the point of the author writing this post, no message has been gotten. Stammering seems to have taken a lot of stuff from capable Africans who could have done more to help the continent and the world at large.

Whatever happens, Africans should start appreciating the problems and research more into the issue so that children coming up would get help and be treated by various speech therapists or better still receive the SPEECHEASY DEVICE which would help salvage their situations and be free from ignorant Africans who see them as a prey towards their fun making moves.

THE PLAN FOR CONTINUOUS DISAPPOINTMENTS

(Psalm 42: 11KJV) – Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God; for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of your countenance, and my God. As I am walking down the street, I am in no hurry because I am just looking at the people that I am meeting across the street, some smile, others frown, but what could be going through their minds and their hearts. Obviously some would live to witness another day and others would not. Life or death we all have something amazing we can live on to make your life successful. What have you passed through in this life that holds so many disappointments to you as a person? 

Can you compare the way you feel disappointed by God to Abraham who was made to sacrifice his son and the boy who came up to be the Governor of Egypt who is called Joseph. 

He was sold by his own brothers and became a slave in a foreigners country but was encouraged enough to realize that these are dark moments which would lead him to enjoying all the good times he ever craved for.

So many people in the world cannot take disappointments; they would rather die than see the next day. But as you can clearly see from Joseph’s life, it he took his life, he wouldn’t have become the governor of the greatest civilization in the world, Egypt. You get disappointed and you have numerous ideas like Joseph which could have been used to benefit all and sundry. We mostly agree that women are the ones who can’t take disappointments and is true. A woman who loses friends, family members  and gets depressed but finds someone she deem a partner should not think that’s all but might get disappointed. The man might not take it us you have lost so many things in the past years so stick with you to the end. For you to stand on your feet and get out from that misery is at your own discretion. This divides your attention between serving God and fighting for your survival. No matter what happens, those are the times and moments that an individual has to concentrate and put all their trust in the word of the Lord. This is the time people who do not know how to pick up themselves in biblical terms do so and realize that God uses those circumstances to prepare us for the future and keep all our focus on Him.

One thing that if you are on the verge of committing suicide you should realize is that people who committed suicide did not believe in the words of the Almighty God, whatever they had to do for the betterment of the world has been thrown into the billabong because they heeded to the devil’s word and are gone forever. God would not give you something that would wear you down, He uses us in proportion to our willingness to be shaped.

ARE YOU FACING CONTINUOUS DISAPPOINTMENTS (SUICIDE)

 Growing up to become a Living Being is not a small thing but as human and as humorous as we are, we tend to take everything for granted and see everything as a normal occurrence. There are so many thoughts that go with human living and life association. Sometimes you have good thoughts, bad thoughts, but not all thoughts are from the Almighty God, or normal hunches that revolve from enormous creativity. We live in a world where so many people play the devil’s advocate and associate blatantly but yet still get so many people to follow them because they can offer those things of the world.

 

So many people have come to the world and are referenced by dates because they were considered still born. We have gotten dates of births, certificates for them and apart from that have gotten names. I thought it would end there but so many people have moved on and have nicknames and code names that sum up the whole strange adventure of life. As far as you have life, you have something that is worthy to live because if life doesn’t offer you anything, it has offered you something; the hard times you are going through. Have you ever been in a situation where Only GOD remained? It can be a moment where everybody leaves you or you personally isolate yourself from people because you don’t trust them anymore. People may leave you to die but you have to remember, people who make you unhappy are not God. They form a part of your life whereby you will reference them in the future and give glory, honour and adoration to the Almighty Creator. Women have soft hearts, men have soft palms but they all dislike disappointment. Disappointments defined by so many people is not only a thing done or served unto an individual by His fellow man, others also reference God as they are in desperate need of a turn around. God does not disappoint people. As I watched Dr. Charles Stanley he said; “Disappointment is inevitable but Discouragement is a choice”. Disappointments give birth to discouragement and it leads so many people to doing things that are of high immoral standards. They feel bad about themselves, depression sinks in and thereafter bad thoughts begin to creep in, the worst of them all suicidal ideation.  

Suicidal ideations are the projection of the devil’s word and work as he sees enlightenment into the future. You could become the next big thing in the world that could help save the world with your amazing ideas. In the Bible, Hebrews 13:8 reads, Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever. Just as you remain you, Jesus does same. People who commit suicide are hearers of God’s word who fail to believe. They die because they take their problems into their own hands failing to adhere to what God told us in Psalm 100:3, Know you that the LORD he is God; it is he that has made us and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Do your part and leave the rest to God.

 
Don’t kill yourself because you are successful by your own small definition.
