Feel good

Pleasure me,
A few coins for a surge of euphoria,
Let me pay for what I want to be mine,
Dopamine and I’ll be fine
On cloud nine and I’ll see just fine,
Breathe fine
Live fine
Enjoy life
Forsee life

In fact, I get to be my own prophet,
I see things
What I see is so vivid,
Hahahaha… hahahaha

Come!
come pleasure me canna…
Cannabis nwanna awuruo guy name
After some puffs, I’m gonna be naming the stars all over again

I’m gonna tame my fears all through the day,
I’m gonna launch into the deepest of archives
And catch something
Anything!
A glimpse of what the future holds, perhaps
I tell the truth
I’m not unsure
I fear for nothing

Haaaaaahaa… haaaaaa
I’m so bold,
I’m so sure I can foretell
You don’t have an idea of how much I already know,
I can tell your future for free if you want

Euphoria tells me I’m free after all,
I thought so too
And that’s why I risked it all,
Puff after puffs
For a pleasure so sublime

Line after line
Doesn’t go outta line,
Does it?
Dopamine after dopamine does it
Until intense cravings begin to kick in

Danger! Danger! On the wall,
I saw it
Come home! Come home,
I ignored it
Euphoria got me real bad,
I could smell it,
I knew it
Yet I couldn’t stop it

When help came in, I stalled it,
But when Ebenezer stepped in, I couldn’t stop him
Instead, I leaned in

And when my cravings come knocking,
I breathe in
I rest in him

Living Rest

January 22, 2026January 16, 20261 Comment

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

To an Unknown God

February 17, 2025February 14, 2025Leave a comment

Sometimes Church feels like Athens
Worship-wielding wanderers wondering

To whom do we gather in obedience?
Men masking maladies making monuments?

Our fellowship should be love in experience
For Father’s foundations form family finesse

So from what root then comes our difference?
Banal boastings blurring basic believing

To a known God shall be the gathering of brethren
Rightly revealing restful reverent righteousness

In knowing God the Church must find her essence
Honing humans hosting heaven – holy harness

Gone prodigal again

March 3, 2024July 16, 2024Leave a comment

_I did it again!_
Left my place of rest in search of fading bliss
I called ‘inheritance’ what was mere gifts
Dropped my daily routine to unwind with wild parties
Past achievements that have become ashes
I knew I was out of power but the fan’s still turning in my direction and it felt cool
I knew my embers were getting cold but I couldn’t resist the urge to dance without recharging and see what it felt like
I knew my light was getting dimmer but I claimed I was shining in the darkness
Away from my Source
Away from who made me son
Away from my true inheritance
Away from my natural habitat

_I did it again!_
How can I face Father this time with shoes on?
How can I expect his forgiveness after the limit for a day?
How can I tell him his robe got torn?
How can I tell him the reason I am back was the memory of the tasty beef in my mouth?
That I want to be welcomed again?
That He was right and I lived wrong again?
How can I tell him I did it again?

I Will Follow You

February 4, 2022Leave a comment

My Lord Jesus, the Shepherd of my soul
I will follow You wherever You lead me
I will not fret nor cringe in fear
Even if You lead into the pit
I know it will be for the best at last
I’ll trust You always
For I know the pit can’t ever be the destination
But an only-to-be-routed-through junction
Just as hell wasn’t Your destination
But a place to pass through to the glory beyond
Thus my eyes are fixed on the joy ahead
For I know it will all be worth it in the end
So I rest NOW as I follow You
My mind is not seized with any frenzy
But simply resting in Your love and care
Right through every step of the way

RENEW 2

Listen
Your heart beats a melody
Listen
The world rejoices in novelty
Listen
You are here by another’s will
Listen
The Word is how you navigate this
Listen

You must be thirsty.
What drink would you love?
Water of life is always a great choice!
We live in the feelings of these little choices.
Live by choice.

Leave by choice
Regrets and bitterness in past 31
Lift by choice
Your spirits heights above where Jews lie
Leafy choices
Can be lost in this wind so hold tight
Newness is your guest today
Make the best of it

Dance!
When you can and can’t
You deserve presence,
Gift yourself the present of you
Now is a good time to live.
So dance, teach time to
Breathe, see, listen and feel
Make it wait on you.

RENEW

Let your hair down
Breathe
You’ve come this far
See
This is not destination
Listen
But home is where you are
Feel
The moon takes us through another 31
Live

Begin by breath.
One. Two.
Exhale the stress, excess, excuses.
Inhale the miracle of your heart beating hard.

The journey of a thousand miles
One step
The expectation of many lives
One thought
This is reset if you don’t clone it
Welcome to another opportunity
Crown it

Continue by Sight.
Lashes up and it’s a new day!
We are always at the start of things
And it’s okay.

And now that I have you here,
Can you hear?
Can we sit and lock hearts?
Rest a while on my chest
I will do same.
We are simply different patterns from a cloth.
Our roads have led us here.
Let’s celebrate this beautiful silence.

You Are The World

Hey You!
When Jesus said that He came to save the world, He meant You!
Because You against the world is You against a brick wall. It’s a hard hit with a concussion of disorders.
You question His love for You when you measure it against the evil in the world.
When Jesus thinks the world, He thinks You!
Wholeness, life in abundance, health, prosperity, peace and joy, He thinks for You.
You may insist; “I don’t need saving, maybe He should go ahead and save the rest of the world instead”. But how can He save the world if He doesn’t save You?
You are His world!
You are the world!

The world doesn’t exist outside You.
Your sadness it displays
Your ignorance it conveys
Your pain it bears
The world exists because You do
In your wholeness, it is made whole
In your sanity, it is made sane
In your health, it is healed
In your joy, it overflows.
To reject Jesus’ help is to watch your World crash and burn.
You are His world!
You are the world!
