Rest is eternal king in a manger
Rest is Heaven’s song heard in a shepherd’s field
Rest is identity assurance that needs no proof
Rest is scripture defence when the serpent strikes
Rest is deep sleep on stormy billows
Rest is victorious king on water strolls
Rest is eternal pearls cast before mortal men
Rest is the birth of the church on confession rock

Verses written in seconds
Told the chef I want Seconds
God will never forsake us
Fishers of men, he made us
Evidence and Providence,
Arrows meet a faith defence
I see life in Jesus lens
Yes, I’m one of God’s friends
I’m past my past arms, like I’m running in Naruto
Now there are miracles, even my shadow clones
I will look to the Word and rely on The Lord
Test or testimony, I’m passing with no qualms
He’s constant, na we dey pendulum up and Dan
My God wins fights, I just squeal and write Psalms
My job is to listen and speak, evangelist for instance
Without God, what’s the point of all the distance?
Got a couch in the room in his pierced hands
Holy Spirit Registered, Resurrected with Christ,
I work God brands, he’s the measure of my size
Alarm clocks celebrate the grace wey dey open eyes
And the Hallelujahs amen till the Lord arrives

If e easy, come run am
I’ll be up in the Word, my Adullam
I am who God’s grace says I am
I’m descended from more than one Adam
See the place wey I dey na Jesus
Boast in the doings that he does
Yeah, he cut me free, no scissors
The only one who truly sees us
Frees Us
Freeze us into your discipline
Power to live way above all sin
Party in heaven, my invites are in
Daddy with Jesus and all im pikin dem
We feel am before e start to dey happen
The harvest surprise even devil sef
You go fear God, meaning business
Who dem be where dem dey?
Who born dem no be play
When the next breath could be the end
Christ is such proof you can’t pretend
If e easy, come run am
I’ll be up in the Word, my Adullam
I am who God’s grace says I am
I am who God says I am, Sir

What is one task when the Lord’s is the impact?
Jo sef
Wife be the mother of Jesus
Jesus!
Buy into truth, no be naira and cedis
Ten years later, still a legend of the CEDARS
Tall trees and the leaves read scripture
I’d be more of an owl than a vulture
I’ll be fasting from both food and the culture
Cap thing, Christ a poet with my suture
What’s more?
Mercy gave what I didn’t plan for
Christ in me was the only option
Tell me what’s up
Unsubscribed from the world, of course
Silent power
Saint Breathing but the form ninth taya
Seventh Seal and the hour of prayer
Holy Spirit Slashes, I’m a demon slayer
Buy into truth, no be naira and cedis
Ten years later, still a legend of the CEDARS
What is one task when the Lord’s is the impact?

Today is reason
Today is meaning
Today is infantry
Today is victory
Today is opportunity
Today is destiny
Today is living
Today is being
Today is minutes
Today is season
Today is present
Today is presence
Today is temporal
Today is eternal

God good I get proof,
See how Him dey pamper me like say I be Him only pikin
Damn that philosophy that there’s no God, His mercies are too sure, brand new every morning.
See the power at work in me because of He who conquered death and sin, ahh
If e easy, come run am.
See the place wey I dey,
I sit in high places with the most high
So, who dem be, where dem dey?
Jesus is final proof

1st Corinthians 13:13
As 2025 draws it’s last breath
Leaving some of us wondering how fast it went
And 2026 approaches with silent steps
Shrouded in mystery and unknown depths
We must take time to reflect
As the the old gives way to the new
Not on unanswered prayers that our minds would have us dwell upon
But rather with intentionality on the riches of Abba’ goodness
Shifting our gaze from things undone
With laser focus on things he has done
Those blessings we sometimes fail to notice
That our hearts would like to miss
Yes! I speak of those very ones
Considered common, normal, usual
Which are of great value and of immense worth
Only if we pause and think upon them, do we realise how good our God indeed is
Like the gift of life, the very reason we are here today
The unquantifiable blessing of good people, family and friends
Soundness of mind and good health which money can’t buy
The miracle of going out and returning safely EVERY DAY!
Having no human bodyguards yet heavily guarded by God’s invisible angels
The precious gift of salvation we got on a platter of gold
An offer denied to Lucifer and his fallen angels
The Name of Jesus- that wonder working name
That answers us when we cry unto Him
And more that time may not permit me to mention
But which I am sure we all have received
And if like me, you are grateful for His manifold blessings
Chorus with me:
“Thanks be to God who daily loads us with benefits”
Now,
As we march with triumph into the new year
There is a word for you and me
Written in 1st Corinthians 13:13
“And now abides faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest is love
On faith, Remember, faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of God. So feed on the word and believe it as though your life depends on it
For Indeed it does!
For the just trully, shall live by faith
On hope,
Remember Abraham, the father of faith,
Who, against all hope, believed in hope and became the father of all nations
Never lose hope, no matter what, for hope makes one not ashamed!
And on love,
Remember Jesus and how he demonstrated his love for you
Consider His Sacrifice
And never forget your worth, for you are greatly loved, no matter what
So stay grounded in His love
On your highest mountain or
In your lowest valley
For He has said:
“I will never leave you nor forsake you”
AMEN 🙏

If Silent Power had a name, Joseph would be it
Not Joseph son of Jacob
Not Joseph husband to Mary
But one Joseph who desired to see God’s kingdom come
He spoke and authorities listened
He did what the world fears to mention
He carried the dead body of not just any man or demi-god, but God himself
He fulfilled scripture because faith rendezvoused with wealth
Even when the news of resurrection spread
No one dared to accuse him of the Lord’s body
Sometimes I feel John the beloved might have a competition for the left seat besides Jesus while I watch from the right 😂
Humor me
That’s what silent power looks like
