A CALL TO RULE!

cropped-from-www-metacafe-com-872861-5144839-1.jpg

You are what satan has always wanted to be, to be a ruler. Satan was sent parking out of heaven because of this power tussle. He came to earth thinking he (satan) would rule in the earth. But God made man to rule in the earth over everything, satan inclusive. This made satan mad at man, and deceived man out of man’s divine position, and became the god of this world and started controlling man. But thanks to our loving God that has restored us to this position again and made us far better than we were in the first Adam. Anyway this is only so in Christ Jesus, who is the second and the last Adam.

So, get this clear, no matter who you are, if you have not accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as your Saviour, you are certainly under the rule of the devil, whether directly or indirectly. And please, don’t ask the question of why Jesus. The Creator of heaven and earth, including you, decided it to be that way. So, you had better abide by that. You may not anyway, if you are the creator of yourself. I hope also that you will be able to defend yourself before God on the day He unleashes His wrath upon everyone who didn’t accept Jesus Christ as their Saviour, according to His design.

Be wise!

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

THE STRENGHT OF MY HEART

I moaned in a rejected hour of lurch,

Bitterly feeling the ray of my burden scorch.

I mopped standing in a boat of affliction,

Driven by a sale of storm into the land of confusion. Continue reading

MIRACLES

Image

A smacking smile lits on the face,

because of a graciously fulfilled race,

of a smickery wonders of a joly miracles,

then laughter, happiness, gladness makes a circle,

of a world filled with glittering stars,

to trigger waves of excitement,

as if in planet of mars. Continue reading

BELIEVE

Seeing, they say, is believing…

So, what about knowing?

What about discerning?

If life is all about sight,

The blind will not smile,

and their feelings won’t ignite. And believe they never right

Believing is more than the eyes..

It is much deeper within. Continue reading

FLAMES OF REVIVAL

Its another season in the history of mankind when the thing that really matter have been relegated to the abyss of oblivion.When men that once stood for the truth have shriveled into constructed compromise.When the world is in the most need of truth and spiritual transformation.When integrity of the HUMAN PERSON has been murdered on the soil of liberalism.The ashes of past revivals have been mockingly cleared by the youths of our time with such disgracing complacency that they care not for fresh woods and BLAZING fire of the Holy Spirit. I write not to unbelievers who have seen no light yet but still grope in the void of sinfulness, for how pertinent is the case of the patient whose doctor is sick.I write rather to the thousands of  cold hearted Christians who read this now.

AWESOMENESS OF REDEMPTION

In that dark and lonely prison

I sat neglected and alone

Kept company only by reason

And many a tear rolling down in a sob

I tried to move for want of ease

The chains clanked the pains increased

The worst had happened and hopes decreased

For everyday brought me closer to sorrow’s abyss

But how did i get this far

How could i have missed my way?

How could i not understand?

That paradise i had already given away

My heart quakes and quivers as i remember

That it hadn’t always been this way

But now all the memories concur

And i have a story to tell, my story

A story long in its stride but yet precise

Short it may seem but detailed it is

Tis a story of one who lost his way

And now heads undoubtedly for shame

As i said this course i now undertake

 Was not the first my feet would ever tread,

But just a choice i made one day

Was enough to seal my fate.

Like a slow fade

I had stepped away

For a moments pleasure and spice

I had given away love and paradise

As i trudged along hopelessly

A voice called out my name sweet and sincere

A silver lining in the darkest of clouds

Twas my first love calling me home again

Reach out and believe he said

You don’t have to end this way he said

But it couldn’t be that easy i thought to myself

How could he i had hurt so much still draw me to Himself?

As i reached out he reached out to me

He pulled me up and out of my chains

And like a flash i was on my long forgotten path

I was free at last i am free at last

As we walk along

My joy knows no bounds

I don’t have to look forward to eternal doom

Cos i walk the part of life with my one true love

As we talk, his words refresh

He’s always there even when no one cares

He helps me through this journey to paradise

My story has now become a love story
