“I want you to know how hard I am contending for you and for those at Laodicea, and for all who have not met me personally. My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. I tell you this so that no one may deceive you by fine-sounding arguments. For though I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit and delight to see how disciplined you are and how firm your faith in Christ is. So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness. See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ. For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and in Christ you have been brought to fullness. He is the head over every power and authority. In him you were also circumcised with a circumcision not performed by human hands. Your whole self ruled by the flesh was put off when you were circumcised by Christ, having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through your faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead. When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross. And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross. Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ. Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you. Such a person also goes into great detail about what they have seen; they are puffed up with idle notions by their unspiritual mind. They have lost connection with the head, from whom the whole body, supported and held together by its ligaments and sinews, grows as God causes it to grow. Since you died with Christ to the elemental spiritual forces of this world, why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its rules: “Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!”? These rules, which have to do with things that are all destined to perish with use, are based on merely human commands and teachings. Such regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed worship, their false humility and their harsh treatment of the body, but they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence.”
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭2:1-23‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Thank you Lord!! I made it to the age of 43. Many have not made it, but God!

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; And lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he shall direct thy paths.” Proverbs‬ ‭3:5-6‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Thanking the Lord for his goodness.

“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; And lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he shall direct thy paths.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭3:5-6‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“No weapon that is formed against you will succeed; And every tongue that rises against you in judgment you will condemn. This [peace, righteousness, security, and triumph over opposition] is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And this is their vindication from Me,” says the Lord.”
Isaiah 54:17 AMP

What I have learned about people since my son was murdered.

Allow me to tell you my story. You have heard enough from people trying to coverup lies. Now here’s the truth. 

Hello 👋,

I hope you all are enjoying your day thus far. This is the day that the Lord has made, and we shall rejoice and be glad in it.

Well, beautiful people allow me to share my testimony with you all. All my life up until my son Sidney Maurice Jackson Jr was murdered at the age of 19: I was surrounded by people. (Friends, family, boyfriend, secret enemies) However, once my son was murdered, I found out that the people I had been surrounded by and trusted all those years were secretly against me and my family. They smiled in our faces, can to cookouts and birthday party’s. When I was going to the club and drinking, well they went to the club with me and we had drinks together. 

But once my son Sidney was murdered after everyone’s came around to be bossy and ask questions. To see if I knew about how he was living outside my home. And they realized I didn’t know about how he was living. I knew about him going to college and working but I didn’t know about him selling marijuana. Now, make no mistake only one person mentioned him selling marijuana and when I asked my son and he denied it. So, as any mother would tell a child who she felt was lying to her. I responded, don’t sell drugs where you lay your head that is how people get robbed and killed. I told him with him having a baby on the way he was putting all their lives in danger of what I heard was true. I warned him that if what I heard was true he needed to stop and just get a better job. But yet my son lied to me. He denied that he was selling marijuana. And the fact he hadn’t lived in my home in over six months and he was staying with his baby momma and her mom, well it is what it is.

However, once he was murdered everyone came to me talking about how he was selling marijuana. I mean his cousins, his uncle, his daddy, I mean everyone who kept their mouths shut while he was alive. So, it’s truly amazing how people can be around you and know that you are going down the wrong path. A deadly path and will keep their mouths shut. They will allow you to die and then speak up after you are dead and gone. But, they will party with you, smoke with you, ride with you, sleep with you. Tell you they live you and know that you are on the road to death. But as long as they are benefiting from your careless and reckless behavior they say absolutely nothing. My God from Zion help me with this….

People of God, I’m sharing this with you to let you know just because they are around, does not mean that they care. People are opportunist and uses of people who have a giving heart. After his death no one had anything bad to say when they spoke about him selling marijuana. They talked about how he chilled with them and smoked. So, I honestly don’t believe they missed him. They missed the fact that he gave them the hook up. Because at the end of the day people love when they can smoke for free. People love when they can party for free. 

After his funeral no one came around or called. No, I know it’s because of their own guilt. People knew Sidney would listen to me. If one of his family members including my daughter would have told me, he would not have been able to deny it and I would have been able to seriously sit him down and talk to him. The fact that the person who told me wasn’t of blood relation, I couldn’t push as hard. However, I have forgiven everyone because they are dealing with their own regrets. I’m not upset with anyone. My mother and I got back in good standing before she died so I’m good. But, for those of you who knew and said nothing. Well, I cannot join your pity party because I didn’t know. I didn’t have concrete facts. I didn’t have any evidence. But, I’m grateful that he knew Jesus. That’s it that’s all. He knew Jesus! He was saved! He repented again before he died! I know God has him! And I’m at peace with that. 

Many of you have lost loved ones and I’m telling you that the people named on the obituary and in the receiving of friends book know something. There should be more solved murders. Do, your part and find out who killed your loved one. 

And if you know you couldn’t change the outcome of your loved ones death. Forgive yourself! It’s not your fault! You didn’t know! Stop feeling guilty! 

P.S. There are some people around you that are not always for you. They are waiting on you to either die or lose everything. Know your circle. 

Unapologetically,

Rosin Akinola
