I’ve learned-
that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them.

CLOCKWORK
As the morning lights breaks through the night
Automatically darkness gives way to daylight
Our mini-skirts and shorts give way to church hats and ties
Smoky eyes and red lips give way to ‘just as thou art’ makeup style
Words full of grace have to play cos vulgar words or lies don’t sound right.
Tequilas and red wine give way to Holy Communion and rites
Pornographic materials give way to huge bibles and pads to write
Clubs and parties give way to solemn gatherings and messages of Christ
Even the radio stations switch to amazing grace and gospel playlists just for a while. Continue reading
Fear
Worry, worry, worry…why in such a hurry?
Here and there we scurry; life is just so blurry.
Even in a shiver fear longs to deliver.
Nerves begin to quiver; panic forms a river.
.
Fears of imperfection grow without correction;
Eat away affection, building to rejection.
Acrid speculation sets a firm foundation,
Rooting our deflation; reason’s lost translation.
’
Shame denies his daring, crushing without caring.
.
Aching from comparing, love’s not worth despairing.
.
Feeling she’s deserted, self-esteem’s perverted;
Abstinence inverted, pain’s left her converted.
Control’s consequential – fear is exponential.
Trigger your potential for it’s quintessential.
Offering assistance, Christ will soon out distance,
Readying resistance, honoring persistence.

THE LORD GOD
Perfection undeniable
Beauty unequaled
Love unending
Wisdom unerring
…. So is the Lord God
Seated on high
Stable in heaven
Saviour on earth
Signatory of all
….He is the Lord God
Great in Judgment
Mighty in battle
Fearful in praise
Unshaken in authority
…. His name is the Lord God
Creator of me
Protector of me
My own provider
Lover of my soul
…The Lord God is for me.
NaRrOw PaTh…
Peeping through the pearly gates,
Redemption seems to make sense to me
Eternity is worth it!
Captivating sights dazzled my pupils,
Inciting the desire to place God over my feelings and circumstances,
Upholding my faith and virtues against all odds, and sailing on the boat of obedience into His everlasting presence..
I’m walking through the narrow paths..God help me
HOLD YOUR PEACE
After a slap,
a blow, a kick,
a tear,Or a cut…
An injury is created. ..
And when apology is withdrawn,
The injury deepens.. ..
When justice is denied,
The injury gets ugly!
But when you choose the right medication,
You will be just fine..
Injuries don’t heal in a day, that I know.
All you need is the right therapy!
Just cleanse the wound with mercy..
Bandage it with forgiveness..
And take Jesus’ Healing Tonic everyday..
Don’t miss a dose..
But you can have an overdose..its good!
Where can I get d TONIC? U may ask..
Open your bible, its there.
Talk to your pastor about it, its there.
Listen to the still small voice within you, its there.
You can also tell God directly on your knees..
Let it go..! Unburden your heart!
Give yourself some rest!
Concentrate well at work!
And sleep well at night!
Cos God will surely fight for you,
IF only you will be still!

SOMETHING MORE
As I lay on my bed and closed my eyes, I could see that there is something more than this earth..
Something more than the predictable routines of human life..
Something like lying on a bed of colourful flowers
Something like listening to the chirps of birds..
Something like being lost in a cool romantic breeze..
Something like riding on snow-white horses…
Something like flying without wings..being lifted carelessly by the wind..swaying from side to side like a pendulum..
Something like laughing loudly and heartily as you blow up water bubbles into the air and splash the ocean surface..
Something like dancing in a flowing white gown…as you lift it up and turn in circles..
Something like wearing a crown and striding up and down in the skies..
Something like no more tears and no more sorrows..
Something like a careless abandonment in supreme ecstasy..
There must be something like this…
The Holy book cannot lie..
Even as I view it behind closed eyes, the reality of it hugs me tightly…
I only caught half a glimpse of it
It is Heaven…and it is soon..
It is Heaven…and it is for those that accepts JESUS
A CHANGED OLD MAN!!
Gradually and painfully the fearful yet critical moment had come!
Coldly staring at me was reality which seems to have collaborated with my erring identity.
I needed a direct change in d life I lived for so many years,
So as to get into a vivid range of blissful sanity.
But now, I am too old and lost in the iniquity that I lived. Continue reading
