THE WORD

Quietly and consciously flipping

My eyes and whole thoughts fixed

All fixing their gaze at the pages of the holy book

Reading and drawing out words

… Some  words actually

Corrections, instructions, promises, rebukes …

Most of which sometimes bruised my over blotted ego and stubbornness

Some that sometimes put smiles on my face, some give me hope that something is actually on the way even when all seems blurred

Yet some other of these words make me scared – Stories that records the destruction of many

But something beckons on my attention each time I’m faced with some of this scary stories – Mercy and Love

God always amazes me

A perfect practitioner of Spare the rod and spoil the child, open rebuke being better than secret corrections and the likes in other scriptures.

It still doesn’t stop me from wondering –

What exactly is the word meant for?

Who specifically is it written for?

What situation is it applicable to and not to?

Still searching deep and asking questions

And I came to an understanding:”The word is multidimensional. A masterpiece of peace. Seen as only a book composed of history and mere words,but it builds, gives life, encourages, gives hope, straightens crooked paths and so much more that one can’t tell it all. It is an Anchor, Pillar, and Manual for every life in existence today. It speaks to all and many  – Old and young, poor and rich, man,woman, children, e.t.c.
It speaks to all situations – sadness, oppression,and what have you. It is a completion of man’s life. It makes a whole difference  in a man’s life. It distinguishes the wise from the foolish.”

Sometimes, its difficult to believe in the word and obey, but faith makes the difference.

Following the word is likened unto reading of map to get to a designated destination.

Hold on to that book and you’ll hold on to a secured life. All in Jesus.

Need I remind you also that that word is Jesus represented in a book. Let Him be your GUIDE.

EX-CRUCIS

It would mean more than strapping logs across one’s back

For lives have passed through time’s turmoil without knowing rest from toil

At a moment’s notice

To glory in the fame of decided misfortune would not count as worthy

A messiah that comes to be a star is far from pressing need

From creation’s yearning heart and tear-stained cheek

From the clearly cracked voice of a mothering child

From the dirt of sweet-smelling soured cup’s content

Life’s handed ups and downs

And its miseries and boring nothingness

Giving up and giving in is spot on

Letting the will for comfort lose

Letting loss of self pride be now and ever more

Letting go of me

Zealotry has changed the course of history many times over

Whether it be shattered glass panes or loving with abandon

Whether it be cities ruined or lives enlivened

Whether it be slaved provinces or a culture of sacrifice

Bearing the crossed stakes should inspire to conquer hearts, not lands

To build a family, not an empire

To have faith, not greed

To be Jesus, not merely famous

If the world chants your name, it may erode your meaning

If your life is not given, your worth is hidden

Or worse, lost

Martyrdom without purpose is precious blood wasted

Selflessness that saves dwarfs it a million times and more

Let us see the meaning of life as not our pleasure

That leads us to a dead end, a disappointing emptiness

Let us, as our savior did

Bear the burden of letting our will revolve around another

God first, and others too

An inseparable mission at the center of our existence.

Hello people,
If you’ve not heard well this is an announcement and if you have well be reminded again. ‘Cos this event couldn’t have come at a better time. Live in the city of Abuja on 13th of December, an explosion is coming through and you don’t want be told in the news how this went down.

It still seems surreal to me but its true anyways. EZIEKIEL AZONWU, JANETTE…Ikz, DA TRUTH, LILLY MILLION and CHRIS MORGAN are going to be ministering LIVE at the M & M Event Centre, Abuja. I’m going to say this basically I care about you; You ought to be there!

I have decided to take a stand and I am so going to be at this event.
