CRITIQUE OF PURE NONSENSE

You’re a brilliant mind who can’t get himself around to taking the idea of the Divine

It’s beautiful clothes, adorable baby faces, stunning landscapes, memorable experiences

But not a father in heaven, or anywhere around

That somehow, is uncomfortable dictatorship

The problem must be in the understanding of the heavenly

Of directing courses, of masterminding, and of a feeling heart

Of justice, of reasonableness, of care for the simple things and of the grieving

But He’s not just the sledgehammer-bearing fierceness you spit upon

Except in final impenitence, where you’ve given Him no chance to love you in life

The world collapsing upon heads is a matter for able human hands to wrestle with

He, the Lord divine, has given us this mandate

Don’t you see the point?

You’re a grand-headed philosopher who loves to know much

Of the nature of everything that was, and is, and will ever be

But you will never think that all that is seen is held up by a great grand unseen

Never consider that all is fixed in place by a force intelligent

If you be truthful, you should confess humbly

That your dispute is not a matter of it being implausible

It is the consequence of it that you see as impermissible

What would become of your freedom, your privileges?

You will be at your armchair’s speculation’s best to pronounce life unordered

Do you imply pointless

Try telling that to the hungry, the grieved, the searching

Why not tell them to give up hope instead?

I say that it is not insensitive to provide succor to the sorrowful, the hunting and the haunted

Or to think of what our art, our trade, our investigations and our applications imply

If all finally rounds up to zero

Why create words, when they build up to create an empire of accounts

Expressing longings for eternity too great to suppress

To put down by the desire of fearful humanity

God is true, God is loving, God is worth-giving

God is the reason, our meaning

Life’s definition

That’s all.

THINKING OUT LOUD!

Thoughts of a spirit led Man about a woman.

Spirit led Man:
The lord wasn’t economical when he created this lady.
The curves are in the right proportions and the face is refreshing.
But…
I’ll look past the outwards and gain an insight of the insides, bearing in mind the dangers of a single story.
So am taking a tour into a country called the Republic of a womania.
I’m taking off from her “home” state and it happens to be a very peaceful state where the government are present to provide security and protection.
I’ll go through the next state called upbringing, right into the doctrine state which happens to be the western part of the country.
I will then head for the South where the states named fears, weaknesses, strengths and threats are located.
After that I’ll be left with the North where the ‘past” state is situated.
It’s irrelevant anyway so I may skip it except am called to do a special assignment there.
But after my tour I will settle in the capital state called “heart” state where the love for God flourishes.

i will not stop for anything, till i get to the part of her where God reigns supreme.thinking

THE MAN OF MY DREAMS

As it was rightly recorded, the only things that were actually created was the heaven, earth and man. The rest were just spoken into being-Humans the only creation that reflects the creator thus an explanation for our creativity, so like my creator I stand here to bring to live the reason why God actually considered to make a help meet for man.

It is not an argument man;

Listen, unless you are not a seed that flowed from Adam… YOU DO NEED ME!
I am not here to crush your egos but look at things from a top view, eagle eyed, forget what these chicken intellectualists say. He made them male and female for a reason and not by accident, okay! Relax your frowns let me top your crowns, as a woman, I also do need you. “Ladies please am not selling out, it is the truth”

But I am here to make my demands known, I realized that God wasn’t being economical while plotting these curves, and it was no big bang theory because no silly opportunity caused this I was lavishly created, beauty specified, I mean look at my eyes, look at the nose, so don’t blame my choices as it goes, truth is I have really become selective because I have been seeing these half baked boys that hell has been trying to be supplying. So I will tell you what I really want;

Now for starters, “lights on”, no funny ideas needed, be yourself. You better not be coming at me with your sleek rhymes and thick talks, pest bites planning to leave me nausea and feeling repulsive like where the tick talked, counting the tick-tocks left from your ‘can I get a minute’ so your blabbing can seize cos I really do not appreciate your lyme disease, please your lying won’t work on me so quit trying. You know when God made Adam, He took from his side to make Eve and then brought her to Adam, so if you are not missing a rib stop trying to be creative, loose a rib first and my Father will carefully bring me to you.
I hope I was clear on that note? Unbelievers steer clear, become a Christian first.

So you see? He doesn’t need to be tall dark and handsome though that will really be helpful, but more than physical features, we are talking about my future here, and if my husband is to be the leader of the home, I am so not going to marry a spiritual dwarf, or a spiritual hobbit, or a leprechaun …anyways you get my point, I want him to be a spiritual giant because as a person I really hate spiritual embarrassments.

So let him take his time to grow, I want it to be magical though, but I prefer a well baked, gone through the fire, molded and come out as pure Gold man made by God to whatever harry pottered.

And it is really annoying when you do not speak up and expect me to understand by blinking eyelids, where are the men of courage spoken of in the scriptures? Am so sorry I do not play that genre of music on your eye tunes that is low quality, I was born in an orchestral environment or didn’t you hear that my Father is the only drummer that can actually play a hearts’ beat?

So you see? You need an authentic permission to know exactly what sound plays right to my heart.

I have decided to be a pencil in the hands of my creator, so if you need me to go the distance in life with you, rewriting history, you need to ask the write-ful owner because only then will we become an epic story, a tale of two soles, walking in total agreement and people will be allowed to read graciously from beginning to end without getting bored because then the author of life will have His image fully behind our covers.

Yeah some hell brewed and weary guys just beat my imaginations leaving me with a headache from their hangovers, can you believe that these so called men go to the internet for tips on how to supposedly please a lady and after being brain washed by the beast they dare to walk up to me not knowing I see their intentions boldly marked on their fore heads, some try to cover up their tracks forgetting that this race is a marathon so when they eventually get tired of their pretence, they come right out and say something like “it is safe sex dearie, prove that you really love me, nothing will happen” oh really? I tend to ask, if you call it SAFE sex, then why do we need PROTECTION? And it has to be a rubber, how convincing.

What happened to the metals? Or even plastic, I hereby warn these hoodlums from abyss, I am the will of God, so you bald headed with sin and trying to bruise what His will is, I warn you for your sake because getting me is as impossible as mowing seas for my own protection is angelic, much more than arming a Gideon to war, you will pay with your life like the Egyptians did in the red sea if you keep chasing.

Now you get a glimpse of my kind of person, and my kind of man, let me explain further

I want a man so faithful he can wear flesh and dwell amongst Jezebels and remain focused enough on his mission, refusing to be like the fallen angels.

The kind of man that will love me so seriously that I can freely and publicly wash his feet with my tears and wipe them with my beautiful hair without losing an ounce of my dignity

The kind that will be kind enough to love me in my illiteracy, because while the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, I was downright fearless and filthy in sin with rags, and raging demons were standing by to capture and stone to kill, but He was strong enough to rescue me, check His swags though, He wrote on the bare floor literally saving me without lifting a finger and I am sure, He loves me. A pity He didn’t want to get married, but He left His letters.

So I believe everything the way He said it to me, I dwell everyday with His letters, growing and expecting him who will come in His likeness. Well this is what I and my sisters are waiting for.

But no, some of you will come without proper preparation neglecting these mind blowing words that He has written because it is called THE BIBLE, you even doubt its authenticity believing it will not come to pass, so you pass by everyday trying to write other letters, do I have to rip off, fold and glue these pages before you realize that these LETTER BOMBS ain’t nothing to be played with?

I know I sound like a heartless terrorist right now but if it will release your tension, I am actually emotional somewhere deep inside but that is not to be counted as a weakness, so am not gullible to the fake boys in beards clothing that Lucifer’s been presenting I am way past that stage and am looking up to the future.

If you find my kind of woman and you meet the requirements, you had better made your move now, we are not promising to make it as easy as eating bread and wine cos we know our worth, but don’t expect God to force you or even cower into going for lesser denominations all in the name of waiting for confirmations and if my Father wills we will eventually end up at the altar.

Oh and finally, please stop calling me hot, if you need anything that will burn down your life and your house, get yourself a gas cooker and if you cannot afford it, get a stove. It works pretty fast and in a short period you will be ruined. A good woman builds a house and that is what I am set to do, when the right time comes though, I am not in a hurry.
So I will just be watching,
God bless you.

tHE REPLY

My Dearest,
How are you, it’s been a while…I have been reading your love letters and I decided to also write to you, to tell you how it was for me.
Well at the time you came I was in a relationship with someone. He was the model of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. His face shone like polished pearl, his voice like a melodious song played in the morning, swaying me with words that dripped with honey from his sugar coated tongue. He told me he could give me anything I wanted, He told me his name was Lucifer and he was my world prince charming and I was too happy at the thought of being his sleeping beauty princess. Finally he won me over and I gave him my heart, He gave me everything I wanted cars, houses, cloths, jewellery, anything I could think of, boy did he spoil me rotten. I thought I was in heaven, but now I realize it was actually hell with him.
Then you came around telling me about how much you loved me. To say the truth, I didn’t really understand the whole “LOVE” issue it kinda freaked the HELL out of me, the whole talk of loving and knowing me before I was even conceived, giving everything you loved that you might gain my love, your telling “my thoughts toward you are as countless as the sand on the sea shore” (I was beginning to think you were a stalker) I could not comprehend the love, most especially when you told me you love me with an everlasting LOVE. It was really crazy. The truth is that the kind of love you brought my way, wasn’t the kind I was used to and it was strange not having to follow a list of things to do in order to feel the love I needed or to feel clean. You see I always felt dirty and lonely with him that’s my ex but there you came with a whole different story of love, telling me I didn’t need to do anything or follow a whole set of rules to be clean that I just had to accept you, I guess I didn’t understand what love meant.
I started falling for you. You made me realize the love I was deprived of and why I needed you. But you see my ex wasn’t the kind of person to give up on one whose heart he owns (he is kind of possessive). He got angry and tried keeping me away from you, especially when you started knocking at my door. At my door you stayed and all you ever asked for was to come in and dine with me but my ex, he called you a crazy crook set out to manipulate me. He said if I let him go it was I who would lose all the good things only he could give me. Oh the lies I had to deal with!
When you told me you could die for me I thought it was a joke. But here we are you actually did it! I was quite scared I had lost you but you came back for me… Now that is romantic, imagine a man fighting for me. Well I accepted your love, though I don’t understand it yet and the enormity of it all still baffles me. Even the fact that you forgave my hurting you (all those years I stuck with my EX) without wanting anything in return, except to love you. Truth is, with my EX, it was different, it was all about what he wanted, he never forgave my wrongs, and he was a psycho. Now I’m off the chains and free to love you. I am learning to love and trust you completely. And nothing is going to keep me away from your love… You’re now my true Prince Charming you can call me Snow White because I know you will always come for me and find me. I LOVE YOU
Yours lovingly
Bethel
P.s your love letter rocks. Reading, believing, and speaking it sends my ex on his heels.

THE WORLD AFTER

In a matter of lines, seconds, minutes and time, something would have changed in the way you view things and review life’s issues because you read this. Someone would become tensed “Well, not my intention!” someone would become fearless, another would be scared to belong but I can assure you that it will all come to our plain view. Well let us look at what we have once known: your friend, not a stranger.
Ten to nine, back in time, on the Lord’s Day in the spirit this time, it sounded like loud trumpets, being revealed on one island of Patmos, unrehearsed, unadulterated, written as it was stated by my brother and companion in the suffering, John.
I will straight up say how it was shown to me; I slept off that night; just like any other but it wasn’t too long before I was left at my Patmos. I am not John but please don’t expect rhymes from here onwards because I will be merging these two dreams I had to one as much as possible. It wasn’t just about rapture; it was about the life after, here on earth.
I was on evangelism in a female hostel and as much as I can remember I went there with a female friend, although it wasn’t late I think two of the four roommates left for a party, and when we came outside I saw it happen, it looked like there were tiny wishing stars traveling upwards to an open heaven at top speed and just when the last set got into heaven, I saw one of the brightest smiles I would ever see, He didn’t need any introduction, it was my Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus, with the brightest smile ever.
Then the heavens closed, the atmosphere changed, it became evening in the afternoon! I am sure you’ve heard of how there is a spiritual that controls a physical? Well if you have not, you had better believe it because a whole lot of distorted demonic creatures became visible and they started their torment immediately. Ripping out peoples’ arms from their shoulders as another put its hand through a man’s stomach and tormented him. However, one shocking thing that did bring something I have always heard to mind; some people say when the rapture happens then they would believe and can save themselves with their own blood. But at that time, I saw a great evil, the demons could easily possess these humans since Gods coverage was no more. Now, tell me how can someone who is possessed totally be able to remain strong against the devil?
The second dream was almost the same, but it had a different dimension to it, I and another friend were coming from a program when we saw clothes of people who had gone, my friend went to, he just disappeared.
Now here comes the message, I met another friend at this point who made me realize we had been left behind, I also saw the friend I mentioned in the previous dream in a place we pray in my school, shouting and jumping happily. I also walked a long line of denominations where I saw clothes of those that left yet the remaining were still earnestly worshiping not realizing what had happened.
I was back at my secondary school’s chapel with a friend that had attended the same school with and just then I started feeling pains in my stomach it felt like I had a whole lot of snakes or large worms eating me up from the inside, I was in serious pains, but I wasn’t dying.
Let me add, I am the kind of person who doesn’t fall sick, I usually would pray and cast whatsoever it was that tries to make me a little sick whenever it attempts, so cast I did, called upon the name of the Lord, no response, no single response, it dawned on me;
WAKE UP!!! WAKE UP!!!
Because I awoke from both dreams alike, crying and pleading, I believe so much on what I saw. The second one was more specific, I knew how old I was and that there would be seven(7) years of rest and another seven(7) years of tribulation but one thing I also knew was that it would be sudden!

There is no time, Jesus loves us so much, He wants us all to be saved, please return His love, please, He cries for this generation, He really does hurt, please love Him back.
Grace.

When Love Found Me

In the absence of space and time, love existed. He was sufficient enough for everything so much that He birthed His reflection and thus thought of me. In His heart and glory, He carried me till a point He had planned out a purpose for me. For some time, I came into living in the vaguely familiar memories or stories of Him even if I was almost indifferent to knowing Him.
Although stories were told to learn lessons from which to live; the story of love dying on a tree or living as me only without an end didn’t just seat well with me. As I grew in the physical sense, no impact was felt, no purpose reflected or meaning seen other than the fact I knew of such things as freedom, sin, holiness, beauty, grace, heaven and hell. Believing was simply agreeing to the supposed facts but not living in the affirmed truth which I had experienced. To me, He was an abstract thing, myth until one evening I MET HIM!
He wasn’t one naturally hidden except it took more to the eye to view Him. With all the usual stories I didn’t expect much neither did His appearance, His quiet nature, determined walk, mending kit and hot breaking skills impress me. He walked toward me, His eyes fixed on me yet seeing into me and then!—–He hit me. I felt and knew suddenly all past deeds were nothing compared to knowing Him. His virtue seemed to flow through me as I evidently could pray, sing and praise without much thinking. My blood was pumping, my heart beating quite normally but somehow an extraordinary thing in me came to knowledge. With a repenting heart, a thankful mind and a bewildered brain I realized —– LOVE had found me and came to live in me! We didn’t talk much although He seemed to understand me, I sometimes act wrong but He wisely corrects me. I may not have fully understood Him but if I stick to Him, I remain loved and pass it unto others. With my past written off, my present being led and my future assured, love did rescue me so I walk in faith, hope and trust till I be exactly like Him.

iN TEARs

On the street of sadness
I saw tears erupt from the abyss of troubled hearts and there was no glimpse of gladness
Just down the devil’s boulevard were young and old weeping in a sob
Their tears marching down like angry mobs
Sorrow hung in the air
And there was great shudder of fear
I watched men wriggle in a web of pain
Sulking in anguish as though insane
In a pitiable layer, it rested upon my soul
Such was the ill fate of man, the pain, his royal robe

Getting to my home,a hollow of void
Where confusion and emptiness forms a bond
Before my door stood the figures of horror
And every knock rapped sent shivers of terror
I let them in,yes I let my fears-the friends that haunt my soul
The same friends who end up leaving me in a state beyond console
A little while and they broke into a bitter song
All my failures in life their lyrics sung
And my tears which I had kept frozen
Began to spill down a dozen

Catching cold in the hottest temperature
I began to paint an empty future
In that jinx, a gentle voice whispered to me
“What do you think could end this misery?”
With a scornful grin I answered,”It is not a mystery
But a knife to pierce my heart, a dangling rope over my neck”
Alas! I received echoes of cries piercing the dark
And the wind of despair filled every crack
“Why the lamentations?” I inquired
HEAVEN IS IN TEARS

Yes we all cry at thy feeble tries
Why do you choose to end this way
And victory you have almost given away
Take a walk ! I obeyed with my head hung in resign
And my unpleasant friends still stuck right behind
Silence sang like a sad music
Yet stretching before me was an archive of greeneries
The earth hung limp with an air of victory
And the moon glowed like sleeping beauty
Amidst starry sky, lost in awe of the creator

I floated in the wonder of his supreme majesty
“What do you see?”that same voice came again
“Divine ability” I confessed as awe filled my heart as my eyes gazed
The cloud opened and roared “oh ye of little faith…

“…do ye not know that ye are Gods?!”

Upon my forehead broke out the oil of realization
As I basked in the beauty of a new dawn
For in men lies the DNA of Jehovah
Shining in my hands was the glittering sword of believe
YES! the believe that I possess the victorious and creative capacity of my father in me
In the steps of triumph,
I charged towards my unpleasant friends to slay them with my sword
But alas!! They had taken to their heels!!

why YOU didn’t want to HEAR iT!

Yes it’s good we all have heard it, but no we really didn’t want to, verse 15, and chapter two, God prepared for man all he would need to make do, at 8 He kept him in a place after he was formed, hold on! So man was not created in this Eden he was kept there to tend it, if you haven’t figured it out yet, check Genesis.
That was a little hard to take right? Just don’t fight, cos just as the tendency to look back is when I say “don’t look back”, the almost certainty that man would do that which was just pointed out he shouldn’t, shouldn’t be surprising. We should take full responsibility till infinity before heaven cos it all began when we ate of the forbidden fruit in Eden. But that is not even what we do not want to hear; this is not the time to lose concentration, please lend me not only your ears but also every part of you that would allow you drift, let me say it like this: we always want the most candid of opinions but truly do we want to take it? Well, just like you, I also find it hard to take the truth but I try not to fight, cos unlike lies and all its falsehood, the truth is actually easier to…
Wait!!! I’m drifting… I’m shifting from the purpose slowly not even knowing, well I did find out quick enough and before I go off again, I’d hit the nail on the head.
If the hardest thing to take is the truth, then the best truth should be the greatest hardest thing to hear, right? Maybe now you get why the full story about Christ coming to die and His love actually makes people tend to close up and act all repulsive when they hear it
I mean, someone came, died, resurrected, gave authority, ascended and sent another for our comfort. Though He said His work was finished, for now we are all free from sin, sickness, poverty but really we have to wait on Him in trials, and what have you! Now you tell me, how does this make any sense to the logics you have been taught in school but you see, that’s the point I’m trying to make! He’s the creator I am His creation, He’s the porter, I’m the clay; you try explaining to car how the taste of sweet potatoes is and the use of vegetables yet he’d prefer to run miles in his own single mind, shifting gears, using wipers, then feeding on crude oil and most of the craps well arranged from elements in the periodic tables.
So we’ve got to take His word for it, reminds me of the bible; mehn! If only those cars could read they might behave better than we do! You still asking what you didn’t want to hear is or maybe this doesn’t apply to you?
Here’s where I’d like to draw a line between Christians and unbelievers or maybe we should all go into this next phase together; let’s start from things we all believe to where we have a problem.
There is a God; that is a fact, now hold on Mr. Non-Christian I’m not getting into the bible, YET!!!
The greatest need of man is the desire to be wanted, appreciated, welcomed; in essence LOVED. Now if there is a good God who created man with this desire, don’t you think He would have what it takes to meet it? Stop looking for the rhymes we don’t have the time and things are getting serious, I have seen and heard of many religions but non has satisfied my curiosity on how these shambles and fragments of love we profess here can meet the standards for a God who loves, and surprisingly wants to be lived in return, so He gave us all His love in the place of Jesus His son, so we can get the light and He can free us.
I am sorry we agreed to stay off the bible and all the religions to solve this but am bringing you Christianity. Not the one you heard is a religion but a way to live in, because it gave me the answers and they are quite simple, … ”are you tired?, well I am tired too”, but of what use would it be to have all this bottled up inside of me?
You know what, I would let you ask direct questions if you need to, just get my whole drift; God made man, man fell, He tried the prophets, tried various ways to heal man but man still could not get well, so provided a life line, He dialed JESUS. Now if you come to Him you have no sin, no sickness; a restored love relationship and life everlasting amongst others. That was one deal I could not pass by.
Now I am engaged, I do not care what you might say but God did not save me for me to do anything to get saved; I just believed Jesus in my heart, Confessed Him with my mouth and that settled it. I am FREE, how easy is this? Believers! Hope you know it was easier than you have heard it preached? And UNBELIEVERS, you are missing. Now if your religion honestly satisfies your needs, wants and desire to be loved remain there.
If you sincerely believe it does not, or you as a Christian has never experienced a relationship of total love, then allow me to introduce to you; my lover, my brother, my Lord, Jesus. Please accept Him. Please allow Him come in.
