Papa

You say you love me
But You leave me by the fire
Is it not to burn me papa?

You say you care
But you leave me under the rain
Won't i catch a cold papa?

You said you will guide me
But how do these thoughts that destroy come in
Won't i err papa?

You said you will protect me
But you saw when the destroyer munched half of my life
Is that not wicked papa?

You said you will be with me
But i only see my reflection on these waters
How do i believe papa?

You said It is finished
But questions still exist
What finished papa?

You said i am a success
But failure laughs me to scorn daily
Do you now lie papa?

You said am free
But chains of addictions seem to torment me
Am confused papa

You said am a king
But i toil like a slave and earn like i worked for free
Am on my knees papa

You said am a victor
But how many times must i lose to prove victory
I cry papa

Papa am being real to you
I don't want to confess
What my heart questions
Can't faith be a reality?
What will it take papa?
What will it take for me to live?

Papa stares
With tears He stares
Coming down the stairs
To answer your scariest fears
But what a surprise
He looks exactly like you
After moments of staring
He speaks

I am indeed a father
Your papa
That's why i won't answer your questions
Answers will confuse your mind
But love will perfect understanding
Why do you still breathe?
Why did the fire not burn you?
Why did you not catch a cold and die?
Why did you not err to a point of no forgiveness?
Why did the destroyer not swallow the other half of your life?
Was it your reflection you saw or you saw me in the waters?
Questions did not finish,but wrong answers finished to leave me as the only answer to "questions".
Yea,failure laughs at you for being a success
Have you attempted to walk out of those broken chains?
Why do you work for what is free?
Who said you lost?what is the yardstick?

Son,let your heart do the confessing
For faith and trust answers every question
One truth makes faith a reality
A clause that gives faith hope
I love you
So go on and live
Because I love you.

Will and Inheritance

Daddy is wealthy
Rich in virtues
Possessions beyond definition
Grand estates including the universe

The old man
Thoughts torturing his sleep
He is rich
He is wealthy
Successful
Influential
Who will succeed this tycoon?
Who will manage this wealth?
Even as he rolls with discomfort on his comfortable bed
He thinks about his sons
All those that are related

The old man is dead
His life is celebrated
He has lived well
He was indeed great
His family gathers
All those related assemble
His friends and associates
No stranger is seen
For only family can partake in His will

There must be death before Will
The possessor must die for the heir to be the possessor
The King had a Will
His virtues and possessions willed to His children
But death before Will
So He came
In flesh He came
Lived the life to be inherited
The spotless life
The prosperous life
The victorious life
Then He died
Died so we can access His will
Posses His willed lived life by faith
After His victorious ascension
The Holy Spirit comes
The custodian and revealer of the Father's will
He is still reading that Will today
Telling us of our inheritance in Christ
What the father willed
Our share and part in it
But only those that know Him
Only those that He knows as friend and family
Can indeed be partakers of this inheritance
Do you feel sad because you are not part of that company?
He can still know you
And you can still know Him
He died but still lives
So come join this grand family
The company of the firstborns
For it is the will of the Father that all men should come to the knowledge of Him.

The dead fruits of a doomed earth

Distorted
Only traces of His glory are left
The earth is the Lord's
But the god of the earth
The almighty's representative
Lost it to the cunning serpent

God still rules over the affairs of men
But not as He desires
His glory is still resident
But it is not as intended
Man is no longer Gods image at natural birth
Cause sin begets sin
The line of Adam
Getting worse at every generation

Even the works of their hands
Their intelligence
Creativity and wisdom
All is diluted by self,sin and satan
So Leonardo's painting
Einstein's findings
All reflect a distorted glory
A shadow

The earth can't produce any longer
For the prince of darkness rules
In every fleeting second
It counts down to its final destruction

But there is a generation
Not born of man
Conceived by the holy spirit
The line of kings
The redeemed ones
Who live on the earth
But are not of the earth

They carry the perfect intentions of God
Dreamers of a new earth
The earth that was before the first sin
Where God's glory is intact

Their works
Their skills
Their wisdom
Their beauty
Their culture
Their lives
All a reflection of the excellence they see by faith in the new earth
Showing the dying earth a new glory
The hope of something better
For the earnest expectation of the creatures is the manifestation of the Sons

Even as i stand by faith on the soil of this new earth
Breathing in the air of His love
Under the sun of His righteousness
I invite all
Before earth's time is up
Come up!
Ascend to the hope of a new earth
Available only on the mountain of His grace.

The Stain only Jordan can cleanse

General Naaman sitting on the balcony of his majestic house.
Mind wandering far on issues close by
A faithful servant of Syria
Commander of the royal army
Never any loss
Except one
Looking at his skin
His present state
White coloration
Irritating to look upon
Leprosy
So even a general
With the fame and money
Can have a stain
The last physician used egg yokes and clay on his body for days
Still no positives
His wife had told him about this prophet in Isreal
Whispers of grace from a servant lips

With gold and silver in his chariot,
he arrives in Isreal
With letters from the Syrian King,
he knocks on the gate of the Israeli king
Wrong gate
False perception
Can money buy salvation?
Can earthly kings administer healing?

"Go dip yourself in the Jordan river seven times and your skin will be like that of a new baby" the messenger from Elisha tells Him.
Naaman goes mad in rage
You sent for me
I came
I waited for hours
That not enough
You don't come out but send a servant
Then now Jordan river?
Are not Abana and Pharpar rivers at home better?
Can't i get saved on my own terms?
Enough humiliation for a day
Naaman rants
In annoyance he sets out for the Palace
A member of his entourage comes close
"Master if he had told you to fast and kill animals and do other great things, thou would have done but he says wash and be clean"
Seeing wisdom in his servant words
He changes course to the Jordan river
Looking at his skin one more time at the bank of the river
The imperfect skin
The stain
The reproach that influence could not clear
The stench wealth can't erase
In the presence of onlookers at the river bank
Almost naked except his draws
The general swallows pride and gets submerged in the flow of "the descender"

The leprosy of Sin
Ugly to look upon
In all the earthly glory
In all the victories in ambition and riches
Still no victory over this leprosy
This piece echoes the words of the messenger of Elisha
But won't you be offended?
The Jordan river
Christ's blood flow
Accepting that life
Would need humility and sincerity
But you see it as costly
So you prefer covering up the leprosy
Wearing overalls even in hot seasons
Covering up your leprosy with good deeds
Only the blood of Christ can cleanse
So go down to your draws
Naked before The LORD
Drop all the riches and fame
Accept in humility
Damn the shame
Damn the rejection from men
For your healing is personal
Dip seven times
The seal of perfection,
Love and the spirit of God
Then your skin be like a new babe
Remember only the likes of babes will see the Kingdom of God.

The Shabbath (Day of Rest)

Man has been created
The Almighty is elated
The master piece
The final piece
Six days of work
On the seventh
He rests
God do not sleep
But He rested
The Holy Lord
Entered His rest

Keep the sabbath holy
Moses voice rings coldly
Work all six days
But on the seventh
No work
No labour
Even your animals
For this is the Lord's command
His desire
For a covenant with you and your generations

*Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.

Stretch forth your hand
The withered arm is restored
A stir amongst the pharisees
Jesus had said
Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath or to do evil?
To save a life or to kill?
Numb and dumb
They look as Joseph brothers
I am the Lord of the sabbath
More confusion and anger


God had set an example
He entered His rest
He rested on the seventh day
He declared it holy
He hallowed it
He blessed it
The day of rest
The day of worship
The day of fellowship
The day of salvation
The day of deliverance
The day of sanctification
The seventh day is not a day of the week
It is today
It has been sabbath since Jesus died
He ushered us into the sabbath
Now we rest
We cease from all our works
We accept Jesus
The Lord of the sabbath
We rest
Rest on the perfection of the seventh day
Rest on the finished works of Christ
"Come all ye who are laboured and heavy laden and I will give ye rest"
Says Adonai of the sabbath
We keep the sabbath holy
Giving praise and worship all day
Any one that disobeys
That works on the sabbath
Shall experience the second death
The question now is
Have you being keeping the sabbath?
*Exodus 31:16 (KJV) Hebrews 4

Son of Righteousness

Sunny day

The desert sun staring furiously on the barren ground

An entourage of holy men make way to Damascus for righteous slaughter

Saul, the captain of the band looks at the blazing sun

"We should be at Damascus by sunset" he says

A lot running through his mind

These Jesus people have pushed it to far

Proclaiming heresy

The resurrection of a dead man!

That not enough

That he is God?

"This men are certainly blind" he thinks aloud

Blinded by the devil

Misguided by satan


"I can see!! " Paul exclaims

Ananias smiles at the childish attitude of Paul

The once feared persecutor

Now a humble visitor

A lot must have happened on Damascus road

Even his name has changed

"A bright light, brighter than the sun

Heaven surely must have opened"

Said Paul to the listening ear of Ananias

"He said I was persecuting Him

Oh! I have been blind all this while" Paul lamented


Until that light from heaven

Revelation from Mercy seat

The blinding light of Christ

Continually shines on our hearts

Our blind eyes will continue to see blindly

Paul had been blind

Far before Damascus encounter

The Light only revealed his real state

No wonder his decisions killed instead of saving

The vision of blind men looking at a situation is always darkness

Until we encounter this light

This saving light

That true light that lights up every man

The Son of Righeousness

The Sun of Righteousness

What is actually an error will look right to us

What is wrong will please our hearts

Great is the darkness when the eyes are blind


You are never to experienced to experience the light over and over

Paul never fully recovered from that light

His brightness continually reflected on Paul

So why don't we look up with faith laden hearts

Hoping the light intervenes 

If we be on any Damascus journey.

Selah.

The Sentinel

Cold dark night
Not a ray of light
Stillness
Not a whisper
Winds of fear and uncertaintity
Cause goosebumps and chills
Locked doors
Sealed halls
The city of lights
Now respiring in night
Indeed dark times
But on the high walls
Standing tall
Is a man
A horn in hand
Watching and waiting
For the enemy must not prevail
Alert on evil entry
So he watches the city door
The watchman stands on the higher place
The grounds of authority
The vintage point
The gap
Praying for security and salvation
Praying for security of salvation

Now it is day
Bright and sunny
Air smells like honey
The city comes alive
Breathing hard after the tempting night
The sun is up
So men can work
but someone is still doin night chores
The sentinel is still on the walls watching
Seems he is not even aware of time
Season nor weeks
But that is his calling

"Except the Lord keep a city, the watchman waketh in vain......."
There is a need of a watchman if only the Lord keeps the city
So the watchman don't protect
God does
But God needs the watchman
"And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land....."

The watchman sounds the alarm
He sees then say
Hears and rings
Looks out for the brethren
The Lord watches the watchman
For he carries Gods word
But faithfulness is key
Or Cain's curse is reaped
If a brother blood is spilled
When he fails to ring.

Who is then the watchman?
We are all called to this service
The Lord's master plan
To keep His flock
Watch my back
I watch another
Another watches yours
Divine chain of duty
The true essence of our diverse ministries
For the edification and perfection of the saints.

Ezekiel 3:17&Ezekiel 33

Inspirations

Inspiration
n
(theology) a special influence of a divinity on the minds of human beings.

"But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty......"

An interview
A goal to be pursued
Without permission
But a neccesary intervention
So many schools of thought
Joints and faults
Marching to war
With the enemy's banner
The battle is already lost
When Godly inspiration is gone
Let The Word be the interviewer
And God the pruner
The spirit the discerner
And I, just an observer

Going to and fro
Lo and behold
Our first go
we meet a preacher
Word teacher
An encounter would bring a revival
At least the fire, that man could flatter
Then God asks
All this acts
Though what I task
But what is in your heart?
Preacher can not lie
Cause God can't be defiled
Money
Wealth
Fame
Is all I seek
Under anointing seas
Greed is all you will see
Proof that the inspiration is sick
Not of the Spirit nor the Seal.
The display of power don't justify your lifestyle
Nor secure favour at judgement
So better seek your salvation file
For it is your foundation and life.

We enter a worship center
But God is not the epicentre
A band sings God tunes
But God is not moved
The lyrics are right
But the lives are wrong
God walks up to the stage
An intervention for this age
'Your life first before bringing men to My Feet
Your heart is more important than blind hearts that just enjoy your empty acts
The mission should not inspire you
The vision of the cross as revealed by My spirit should
Your motivation is a reflection of your inspiration
Inspiration is born in fellowship
So get a relationship'
God drops the microphone
And we exit.

All this while my heart is thinking
Keeping my mind blank
Am I not guilty?
Is my inspiration not based on the wrong things?
Whatever is of God,overcomes the world
Whatever that is not born of the spirit
Is of the world.
Preaching Christ
But living lies
Working for God without a love life
Falsehood magnified
Our inspirations based on only the letter
Spirit + the letter 〓 God revealed better

I no longer followed God on this interview
For if my life is to be viewed
It would be a see-through
Plenty guilty holes
A truth to take home
Love is the only inspiration
The cross our only motivation
When its all about Christ
Your life is about Christ
Your desires are about Christ
Your actions are about Christ
Your ministry is about Christ
Then the inspiration is right.

Free but not free?

Jumping up and down
The freed prisoner is in ecstasy of his new found liberty
Running down mercy street
From the dungeons of hell
That has held him captive since birth
He finally gets home
 His rest place
In the citadel of love
Off perfection way
House no 5, grace close

The master of the house stands at the gate waiting
he runs into His embrace of peace
The bliss of His joy
Its the same Man that advocated his release
Now the Master and Father of his new home
After a while in this freedom
Purified and sanctified by The word
An august visitor is to be expected
The Master is away but present
Far but very near
The visitor comes in
A wig on his head
With a black overall
Looking smart with a book in his hands
"Barrister all-knowing"
Says the tag on the left part of his breast pocket
 "I have come to prove that you are in bondage"
he says with confidence and a persuading smile.
The visited decides to give him a listening ear
 Though his heart kicks against it
he then begins a sweet fable
How the ex-convict was bought from jail only to be put in a worse captivity
How the home keeps him away from friends and family
"You locked up all day here and you call that freedom?"
"They are so much pleasures outside that door yet you stay confined?"
 "Your talents and gifts are not been utilized,the outside needs to feel you"
"You have been brainwashed, behaving like an extremist"
The visitor goes on talking and "proving his case"
The folly here is the listening ear
This speech should not have been entertained
He is soon carried away by the promises of this eloquent visitor
The lawyer shows him outside
"See the new fashion, chains and shackles. That's what your mates are wearing"
"Let's take a stroll so you can experience fresh air"
Out of his overall, he brings out the "fashion chains" and offer them to the freed prisoner.
Putting them on
 The pretty necklaces of pre-marital sex,
chains of false freedom
Shackles of false love
Bangles of ambition outside Gods will
He is led outside by this cunning advocate
After being led a while
 He recognizes the face of this lawyer
It is his old chief prison warder
He remembers the road being tread
It leads back to that old dungeon
Now he understands what his beloved Master meant when He said "flee all apperances of evil".

The Rock by Me

Thunder and lightening
The trumpet of YHWH blasts fearfully
Moses runs down the mount
Why are these people so sturborn?
Stiff-necked and hard?
They said they could obey Him
But looks like they can't
Holding the tablets of Stone in his hands
The written down Testimony of God
His Word
His Will
The Perfect one
Getting close to the camp he meets Joshua
The golden calf is now visible
The angered intercessor casts the tablets to the ground and it breaks

Now the Lord had melted out His punishment on His people
The law has also been given
But Moses knew they could still err
He did not just want the law
He wanted God
His glory
His ways
His fellowship
Tutorship by the Spirit
"Show me your glory" Moses cried.
The benevolent Lord replies "if you see My glory, you will die!"
But there is a ROCK by Me
Stay on Him and let Me plant you in Him
Then will I pass before you and you will see My back(My mercy) and glory
Only on this Rock
The perfect ground
Not on your Righteousness, that filthy rag
But on this Rock called My Righteousness
Stand on the tablets of stone
Be founded on the stone
For He is My perfect Word
Believe in Him
Trust Him
Obey Him
Then will you be planted in Him
And then be perfect
For the Rock  is My Word
And My word is My Son
Let your foundation be the Rock
Then will I show you My glory
Then will you know about my mercy
And grace
And love
And faithfulness
Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone,
a tried stone,
a precious corner stone,
a sure foundation:
he that believeth shall not make haste.

So what are you standing on?
The tablets of stone is perfect because the law is perfect.
Jesus is the stone that bears the perfection of the law
For He fuffiled the law
Therfore, stand on Him and be perfect
Believe in that stone and be made Righteous
Or He becomes a stumbling block
An offensive stone to you
Be the wise man
Dig up yourself
Dig up your Righteousness
Dig up your "good morals"
And build on The Rock.
May the Lord give understanding
Amen.

The Chronicles of Dead men

Pushing the lever of the mill
Blind samson heart is full of regrets
He had taken grace for granted
The annoited now annuled
Shame,the strong now feeble
Many will be quick to blame Deliah
But Samson knows that its all his fault
The genes of Adam
Arrogance,lust,anger
He never allowed the fruits to grow
But basked in the glory of the gifts that are not His to share
He is brought back from His thoughts with a hard pull
Dragged to the temple of dagon to be mocked
He is now a motive for thanksgiving to the pagans
Samson remembers that his hair had began to grow again
A new spirit
A new hope
There is still a chance
As the world laughs and merry at the fall of a giant
Samson leaning on the pillars of falsehood
Says a sincere prayer
Willing to be a vessel of vengance
He bows with all his might
Letting go of everything
Droping it all at the cross
Dying with the phillistines
Dying with his desires
Dying with his wants
Dying to sin
Dying to self
And it is recorded "that at his death he killed more than he had ever done in his whole life".

Hearing the message from Mordecai
Esther knew this threat was serious.
Mordecai had told her the reason she became queen might just be for the now terror
Going back to her palace
She kneels and cry before her God
Then with a leap of faith
She sends a message
Ordering a fast
Then she died
Yes she died!
The moment she said "if I perish,I perish"
She died to her will
For the salvation of her people
To the glory of God
And was it not recorded that God gave her and the Jews victory?
Only the dead can experience victory
For death preceeds victory.
Ask The Christ.

All bow before King Nebuchadenz'zar
The trumpets sound
The drums roll
All bow before the then world authority
Before the golden statue
That same golden calf
Before the dictates of Babylon
Before her wealth and ideologies
The prince of the world
The pride of one
Leading the world astray to man and material-worship
But three men said No
"O Nebuchadenz'zar,we have no need to answer you in this matter. If be it so, our God will deliver us from the burning fiery furnance but if not, we will still not worship your idol".
That was their reply when questioned by the world most powerful man
Even with the threat of hell
They still stood confident
Have you said No to the world dictations?
Have you renounced the world ideologies even with the possibility of losing all?
Even with the threat of hell on earth?
"These men are dead" Nebuchadenz'zar is presumed to have said.
Of course they are dead
Not because the fire will kill them
But because they desire death over disobedience
And what was their reward?
Christ in the flames!
God is their reward
And the kingdom of babylon knew that there was a God greater than Nebuchadenz'zar.

Death where is thy sting?
For we are all dead
What is there to die
When the life we live is no longer ours but Jesus.
Are these and more not recorded in the Lamb's book of life?

Captives of the mighty

The spirit of God gives this illustration
Let its revelation bring salvation.

High walls
Security cameras
Armed guards
Patrolling the fence perimeter
A moat
Filled with the waters of fear
Surrounds this beautiful dungeon
Ancient doors and mighty gates
Standing strong since the first disobedience
Having being breeched once by "I AM"
Leaving a deformation that has never healed
But they still help fortify this mighty prison
On each cardinal point stands a gate
And special guards are stationed on each gate
At the northern gate is the guard named world opinions and he is aided by "family and friends pressure"
At the western gate are the guards called false beliefs and religion
At the southern gate is the mighty guard called codemnation
At the eastern gate is procastination,though small in size,he's greatly revered amongst the other guards.

The life in this prison is a complete irony to what it is called
So much freedom
No discipline
The prisoners seem to do whatever they like
The guards encouraging with lashes from their whips of deception
Which actually causes bleeding but feels good to the senses
Happiness reigns but joy is lacking
So much noise
Motivational speakers blasting from the speakers
Defining success as fufilling ambition of self
Causing the prisoners to be elated and flesh is excited
Perversion and blindness
These two great jailers oversee to a great extent this hoosgow
Reporting to the master of the dungeon
The old serpent

Outside the walls is a great army
Those that have escaped from the gates
Glorious and victorious
Lead by I AM on the white horse
With a double edged sword in His hands
He prepares to bring doom on this facility
But great is His mercy
For He continually sends His soldiers into this dungeon to shed His light
To warn of the forthcoming invasion
To show His love and glory
To break the shackles of deceit
To open their eyes to the destroyed gates
But His soldiers are often mocked,scorned,persecuted and at certain times lured.

A banner is lifted
Join the Lord's army today
For when the war is over,recruitment is no longer relevant
Soldiers become heros of faith
While the losers,
Victims of grace
The Spirit says,
Come quickly Lord Jesus,come.
Amen.

Jesus,poetry,salvation

consummated

consummated
kon-suh-mey-ted
brought to completion.perfected

An aura of intense passion
Even as the newly weds settle in the inner chamber
The holy of holies
The inner santuary
It has been an excited and joyful day
Lot of tears and peace
For the wedding was long over due
Looking into her eyes, the Groom calms His afflutered bride
With assuring words of His love, He puts her at peace
Gradually she slips into His arms
Like a baby she settles in His embrace
He tells her of His will to have children with her
To live together eternally
Not even death can seperate
For He has defeated death

Bodies touching
but it is their spirits that are in contact
As the next step gets clearer
The obedience to marriage
She gets caught in the waves of His passion
The beauty of two as one
Love consunmated in the most Holy matrimony
At the beginning of a new life

Victor's bride

All white
The gown is a reflection of the inside
So much grace
Charm
Beauty
Her perfume drowses the air with the fragrance of intimacy
An anticipating smile
As she awaits "here comes the bride" tune
Arms locked with her father known as "the third one"

As she waits
Her mind goes back to the period of courting
The romance birthed in the law court
For victor is an advocate
The love
Getting to know Victor
Getting to be like Him through the help of her Father
In her heart she knows it is worth the wait
For her groom  had gone for a journey
And many other suitors came
Lust,self,perversion
Enticing with money,ambitions,so-called freedom
But she had held on to THE WORD
The promise of His return

As she walked in to the santuary at the start of the tune
She glances at her groom through her veil
And her heart sighs "He's finally all mine".

Condemnation

Dirty,worthless,lifeless
These adjectives perfectly describe me
Empty,disgusting,reprobate
Surely God takes no delight in me
I have seen His Glory and enjoyed His fellowship but like Adam and Eve, I think I have lost it
It beats me how God will ever have mercy
I have disappointed Him that trusts me with His life
I have judged others when the going was good
Now am the case of a dog that eats the shit that it excretes
A voice in me suggests total seperation will soften the guilt
And am already walking in that false light
Maybe am predestined to be a rebel
Maybe the real me is immoral
Can never be clean
So I guess I quit the pretending
This walk to perfection is a long impossible journey

But deep inside
Deeper than the hurt
Deeper than the confusion
The lover in me cries out for my Love
I want Him more than before
I can't let go of the best thing that has happenned to me
The fellowship
The love confessions
It's like an addiction
But feels way better
Its His love that draws me near
It has caused me to see life in Him
My totality in Him
My future in Him
So what else can I do?
What identity do I have?
What worth do I have?

I Am priceless
For His priceless blood saved me
I Am a victor
Just because He says so
I can love
Because He loved me first
I am perfect
Because I trust Him.

The Lord and the lamb

David!David!David!! Jesse called his last son
"Yes pa" he answered
Won't you go tend the flocks today?
"Of course pa" David answered with his lively and playful countenance, "was just taking count of the sheep".
David is a young man, brown eyes with golden hair to match. Small in stature and still in his teen years.
Not very popular amongst his peers owning to the fact that he is hardly around.
As he leaves for the day's work, he notices his brothers at the gate preparing to leave for miltary camping.
They have been threats from neighbouring Phillistine and Saul, the crowned king of Isreal has been recruiting soldiers.
He waved at them but they were busy discussing national issues.
Walking down the familiar path that leads outside bethelehem, he gathers the sheep together.
They were leaving safe grounds for uncertain wilderness.
The terrain opens up to farms and large vineyards giving some sort of country view. He watches carefully at his flocks so they don't wander into another's property.
Leaving the farms behind, he takes count again..
"142,143,144!..all complete" he says to himself with a grin. Bringing out his flute from his goatskin bag which also carries a sling and his lunch, he begins to play tunes to exalt the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of Isreal. This was the daily life of David. Soon the sheep join in the tune with their bleeting, thanks to the discomfort the rugged terrain offered them. The sun already in full strenght as they approach a brook. The grasses at the bank of this stream offer a delicacy to the sheep. Sitting on a rock by the brook, David prepares to take his lunch.
Long bleats fron the sheep disturbs David's lunch signaling danger. Swiftly he brings out his sling and picks five stones from the stream bank. A brown hairy bear is charging at the sheep. Taking a stance at the very front of the first sheep, he opens fire . Missing the head by inches, he tries again and again and again and again till the last shot. Now the bear is less than 5metres away, knowning that missing this shot would spell doom, he fires again saying under his breath "am losing none!"
Crack! The middle of the forehead of the beast gives way to accommodate the stone from David's sling.
Taking another head count after gathering the sheep together, he discovers one missing. He counts again and it is still short of one. Immediately, he leaves the flock in search for this one. Like a man that lost a costly ruby even more was the manner David searched for this sheep. He has a good reason rationally losing one but no reason is befitting to satisfy his heart so he continues searching. After thirty minutes of wandering the bushes and calling out for you, he hears the soft bleat of a terrified sheep. Looking into the eyes of this lamb with love and satisfaction, he lifts him up and rests him on his shoulders.
With joy he returns to the others. Yes the same way your Father in heaven is rejoicing over you if indeed you have been found.
Is this your story?or has it reached the end where you will then be heard bleating for the shoulders of your saviour?
He leads you to the grasses growing by the stream of life...the place of fellowship!
Then the bear comes charging for your soul
Confusion sets in..then the Shepherd stands as your defender but it looks like He is missing targets
Terrified you run to where you think is safe
Only to be trapped in the twigs of despair and depression
Shadowed by the tree of fear and uncertainty
Are you bleating for Him?for He calls out to you today
So you find eternal rest and certainty and security on the shoulders of the Good Shepherd.

The Danseuse

A court of true and thorough splendor
Arrayed in purple and gold decorations
Indeed prepped for a celebration
A fete of life!
There's only one programme in this event
A dance
The ballerina comes out
Looking excellent; the cheering audience confirms this
Music is to be produced by a master melodist
No name befits His class and grandeur
So He is simply called "The Composer"
He sits behind the grand organ
And begins His tune
The whole world is captivated by His love notes
Even as the dancer swings into action
Every twist and turn is dictated by the fingers of The Composer
The Tune is her director
The Composer watches with admiration as she dances


This is the wisdom therein
The Composer is the one that watches her with love
The Composer is the Fingers that plays the notes of love
The Composer is the Tune that directs her dancing
We are like dancers; we christians
We dance to the rhythm of grace
The Composer is He that has called us
He is one but three
He sits and watches with love
The One that planned it all
He plays the keys
The One that actualized it
He is the Tune
The One that works the dance in us
So, grab the flat shoes and dance to His delight!

Love Questions?

What is love?
Is it a thing or a personality?
Is it a feeling or toughness?
Is it aiding a friend or hugging your enemy?
Is it based on situations?
Can you love some and dislike others?
Is it when lovers share a kiss or when families have memories?
Is love blind?
And if blind, what's the cause of the defect?

Can you show love when you have not even accepted a gift of love?
Can you really love even when you have not appreciated a love sacrifice?
Can you love when you have refused to look at a man made poor so you can be rich?
By his stripes you were healed, yet you despise?
Do you think you have an idea of what love is when you don't know the personality called love?
Can you show love when you have not accepted what God sacrificed for love?

End of the matter,
You cannot love when you have not accepted the greatest lover of all time through His love sacrifice..Christ!

Life flow

Dry ground
Nothing else in sight
Then a humid ambience
Yet no cloudburst
For the moisture is gathering on the ground
Seems like there's a source beneath the surface
For the flow is steady
Muddy, mashy
The ground begins to lose stamina
So soft; that dead seeds begin to breathe
Then a sprout of green and another and another
Still the stream continues encouraging the micro forest
Not moving so fast; as not to runover the young grasses
Overflowing at due season to extend it's impact
Moving slowly; this spring causes the same effect everywhere it borders with
Sunshine, rainfall
Seasons pass but the consitency of this flow is to be admired
The grasses become shrubs
The plants become young trees
A niche is soon created for small critters
Even the crawling beast is on the roll
Time passes
Still this flow has not gone with time
Even its source is still evident
A beautiful garden now surrounds it
a green patch in a brown eternity
Forming a camo from the welkin
So much established on this little run
Lush greens
Big trees
Small grasses
Their lifesong is the quiet orchestra performed gracefully by this stream
The deer
The toad and family
All own their existence to their wet neighbour

Soon tired travellers
Weary and tired of The Journey
Discover this stream
Water is life!
The remark after getting drowned in the sweetness of this life giver
Every passerby is attracted to its bank
Tracing its source for the purest offer

Out of your bellies shall flow rivers of living water
You are a life giver,
If Jesus is in your life
This is the reaction of fellowship with the spirit
For this He likened to the Holy Ghost
So quit being dead and live the life which Christ has brought
For the life is that all men be blessed by You but give Glory to God.

The Lethal Weapon

"Onward christian soldiers.matching unto war..."
The lines of this famous hymn bring to conciousness,the reality of our christian life
We in a battle!
The battle against mediocrity
The battle against sin
The battle against worldliness
The battle against self
The battle against the wiles of the kingdom of darkness
The battle against the adversary
So much wars
But with victory
Our lord won the principal battle at the cross when he defeated self,sin and satan
Then what are we fighting for again if victory has being won?
The adversary
His head has being bruised by the the seed of the woman
He is powerless but with just one last weapon
Do not be ignorant of the devices of the enemy
Deception!
This is his last shot
So lethal is this device
For my people perish for lack of knowledge
Deception makes a victor beg for mercy at the price of being a slave
Deception causes the righteous to accept condemnation
Deception cause a king to live with the swine dealers
Deception makes oneself more important than the mission
Deception causes one to leave the secret place of the most high to dwell under the sun of darkness
Deception causes a friend to hear the roaring sound of the enemy,sound like the voice of his saviour
Now check your christian life
Are u not being deceived out of the arms of grace?
Is the rythm of grace not sounding like the hiss of the serpent?
Come back to the cross
Where the prince of deception was defeated
Claim the wisdom therein and be wise
For christ is the power and wisdom of God
Take in the word
For in the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God
Be born of the word
For whatever is born of God overcometh the world
Yea even the deception that is in the world

The throneroom and The temple

Dark times;gross darkness
The merchants are at loss
Nations are at war
Upside down;defines the universe
Instead of the sun at day,the moon rules
The world has lost it's form
It was created in order
But seems to be getting out of order to destruction
Ignorance the elder brother of sin establishing an empire
So many are his subjects
Folly is the governor
For the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom
The younger brother reigns alongside deceit
A world power indeed
Making sure dark times last
I ask a question "do you wish to live in such a world?"
For this is the present state of this geoid that we live in
If no is your sincere answer
Then open your heart
For the mind cannot comprehend
This better world option
Its a place that is built in your hearts
Where no worldly vice can corrupt
The gates are of gold
Yes gold!
Peace is ever sure
Where even the lion and the lamb share a peck
Innocence and holiness cannot be seperated
Clear crystal floors reflecting the perfect reflection of you
Light abounds here
For the father of lights is the source
For the sun can fail but the father of the sun can't
It's so bright that i can see through my neighbour if there be any worry
No rush for profit or competion or envy
For we all for the same gain
Don't think you will have to die for this to be a reality
For don't you know that our bodies is the temple of God
But you will have to allow the master builder to erect a heart temple
You then carry His throneroom in you
All this and more in your heart
A get-away from this perverse earth
Learn to fellowship in the temple within
Learn to worship at the throneroom inside

John 17:3

He came
He saw
He died
He conquered
He lived
His life
The key to eternal freedom
His life
The only key to knowing God
His life
Only where purpose is found
His life
Gods will for us
His life
Perfection in love
His life
Sealed with his death to buy us more time to have a relationship with the father
His life
Encapsuled in grace and sealed with righteousness injected into our lifeless living to give it a meaning
His life
A revelation of Gods love
His life
Sinless but guilty so we can be proven innocent
His life
cocepted by the Father..Conceived by d holy ghost..and birthed by d Son
His life
Passed into us in d womb of faith..den we born of d life as sons into a lifeless world
His life
Have u accepted the option to live?
