Moreover, the AIDS epidemic which is ravaging the worlds population, instills alot of fright in us since we do not know how our future will look like or when our turn will come. This fear can be justified by the fact that almost all the methods of preventing AIDS have failed us when we consider the rate at which the AIDS virus is spreading around us.
Well, it will be an over statement to look at the world with an eye full of negativity. I strongly believe that if we turn and look up to God our creator, asking Him strongly for help, He will not fail us. He has promised us that, if we look up to Him, He will grant our request. He will restore in us the hope that we have lost for all this while. That is why the Lord promised in Matthew chapter 7, verse 7 that:
"Ask, and it will be giving to you;
Seek, and you will fine;
Knock, and it will be opened to you."
With this idea in mind, one realises that all is not lost, because there is an iota of hope in the horizon, even when things seem hopeless.
IN GOD I TRUST..

Martin's Wager? Derek Martin | Nov 26th, 2001
Pascal's wager went like this: If God and heaven don't exist but I do believe in them, I've lost nothing and my future is dust. If God does exist and I do believe in Him then as long as I live well, I'll go to heaven. However, if God does exist and I don't believe in Him then I'm going straight to hell... so the safest bet is to believe in God and either go to Heaven or turn to dust, either of which is preferable to going to hell.
Now, let me create "Martin's Wager":
If God does exist and we, as his children, are compassionate and help one another, we will live happily and go to heaven.
If God does exist and we aren't compassionate and helpful and good to our brothers and sisters, He will not save us and we will not go to heaven. Living a 'good life' by yourself, in a vacuum, without positive impact on others is not enough.
If God does not exist and we are compassionate and good and helpful to one another, then at least we will have pleasant lives while we're here on earth together, unhindered by war and destruction.
If God doesn't exist and we are not compassionate and good and helpful to one another, the world cannot survive -- there are too many weapons of mass destruction.
Therefore, the best choice, regardless of whether or not God exists, is to live a life of compassion and helpfulness towards one another. Non-compassion is not an option.
God cares for all yufanyi Akembom Bernard | Jul 7th, 2004
The African society has never been forgotten by God nor by whosoever but we have to realise our projects and try to make them come to be what we expect.There is a problem in the African society which is becoming an epidemie to most African youths and countries the fact that in most part of Africa, people are less concious to work for the commmunity,they lrey on direct liability of the western world.This is not my continent as my ancestors made it look like, the fourth for their independence but the lazy onces had to betray what the had for each country , and this has passed from father to son and this has brought in corruption,the west Africa conflict and east African conflict,depletion of African resources relative to no concrete and tangible development.AIDS os a phenomena today and most African Doctor's research has not been approved because the donot have the white skin.What has the black skin leaders done to help those who really have a look on societal issues,how do u expect to win when you have no support from those you believe to be your leaders.Every African show be conscious to develop his portion of the continent ,be concious of the future,be conscious to be communal, don't wait for orders,strike when the Iron is hot; I think with this we can have a small change and with other opinions we can get a big change towards African problems.
Jesus crys Ruth Gonzalez | Oct 6th, 2006
To me, Africa is a beautiful continent so rich with it's beauty and culture. Unfortunatly, there have been a tainted history of coruption, mass murders, and indifferences. The tragidies of Rwanda, Somalia, Uganda, and now Sudan's Darfur region have added so much heartbreak and despair to it's people. For much of the first world like the US, Africa is just a huge problem that they rather avoid. I know in my heart that God crys for those voiceless souls whom need love and care. If all of us unite together, we can make a difference in Africa.
Ni ryari izuba, Rizagaruka, Hejuru yacu,
Ni nd' uzaricyeza ricyeza.

[Who will reveal it once again to us?]
