PERSUASION

The narrow way leads home
None love the way
But for the home we all walk

Victory the ticket to a crown
None love to war
But for the crown we all conquer

None need the sun
For the destruction of cold and darkness
We plead the Sun

like a gun we await trigger
None love to gun
But for the trigger, we gun

To be save none sees it efficacy
But sickness and death persuade
We sing the psalm six

THE COMING

Strength furnished by the rock

Sight made flesh

Iron were loins and joint

Sight remains penetrable 

I gay

Unlike others on hoof not adder 

Announcing his coming unaware 

Deceptively silence he the way

Glaring some saw lowered he in green and crept

Till the coming

Spotless was I pursuing the heavenlies

Till she emerges 

Enticing locomotion before me she came

I succumb not but the flesh

WELCOME VISA

I move to the beat of my heart's sound

Each step a dance, my feet on the ground

My legs won't reverse, they only move fast

Each step a sign, forever to last

I scream for help, but it's music to my ears

A ballad of pain, through all my fears

I'm lost in the dance, with no way to escape

Each step a thriller, my heart does ache

We dine in a skull, a cubicle so fine

Eye sockets as cups, shoulder blades as chopsticks divine

I ask for his name, with a cordial tone

He reveals his face, with a sob and a moan

He says "Hello son", with a voice so divine

Like a deity's call, it echoes in my mind

He grants me a visa, with a welcome sign

A portrait of himself, forever to shine

My Journey to Bayelsa

My journey to Bayelsa began on the day I printed my call-up letter, which serves as a pass to enter the main camp. Coincidentally, my travel coincided with a period of fuel scarcity in the country, particularly in Lagos, which led to a surge in transportation costs. However, I was fortunate to encounter favorable circumstances on my way to Bayelsa, my deployment state. 

What is my sin

 How beautiful my petals where,

With Sparks of a glittering star

Shaded in the artistic structure of a graphic designer

Not until death stuck me with it powerful Sting.

Becoming the dark of Hades,and the reds of poison,

What is my sins?

Why was I slain?

Why hath my beauty been taken

and given the blackness of deep emptiness...

WHO AM I

Who am I,

enbedded in the grains of Jupiter's crust,

Where the grown becomes 

a foetus of decaying wombs,

With roots driven past my curls.

What is my name,

Why do I lay on the greens of solidity,

Where my paws gives life to a new creature

I a child of the depth,

A depth known as the mother of all mother's,

A depth of cage and death...

Someone tell me who am I?

THE GIFT OF SALVATION

 

Ephesians 2:8

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 

Just as every other gifts, salvation is a gift from God and it is of necessity to understand the usefulness of it. There are two things this gift is aimed at achieving in a man's life: one, restoration of the GOD life, two, establishment of GOD’S throne on Earth. 

The later will only be possible if the former is available. Besides, without a life there cannot be a Kingdom or throne. The goal is that GOD, through man will live on earth and establish HIS eternal Kingdom and reign as the FATHER of existence in all ages and time. Unfortunately man fell, and there arose a need for the restoration of the lost life and glory. 

Salvation opens our eyes to the reality of sin in/on us and the greater reality of the power of JESUS through the blood to forgive and kill sin. This is a basic reason the devil goes for the spiritual eyes to blindfold it from seeing the wrong in sin and the need for a Savior. 

A man whose sin has been forgiven receives a kind of life that makes him/her love GOD and love HIM enough to enthrone HIM in his/her heart/life and then upon the earth because the essence of living is that GOD is enthroned on earth 

The gift of Salvation is obtained by Faith sustained by love and impacted by love

JONAH IN THE BOAT

Every phase of life we are represent a boat to our destination. These phase of life could be in different forms of which they are;

*Academic life

*Financial life

*Spiritual life

*Marital life.   etc

   Jonah is an attractive machine of problems. When Jonah comes into the boat of anyone, such a person/people welcomes problem into their lives. 

When problem comes to any boat, the Jonah in such a boat will feel no heat of problem the people/person will.

Jonah, being the machine herniating problems has nothing to loose but to relax and sleep.

WHEN JONAH COMES TO STAY IN ANY LIVES:

*  Such a person/people will loose all his/their treasure before getting to their destination. (Jonah1:3)

*  You'll share the same problem with the Jonah in your boat.

When selecting those who will enter into your boat as to journey with;

* Don't just look but see what God wants you to see.

* Don't select friends or partner based on their psychedelics or paraphernalia attribute. (Don't select anyone into your boat because he/she appears churchy)

Juvenile Deliquency

I know

Dark was the day and gloomy the night

When lives of youths who for their right

Raised their voices with unbridled passion

Met their doom while on their civil mission

They die helplessly on our street

Unprepared, yet long eternity to meet.

Oh that our white flag means peace

Oh that our national identity remained unstained 

We would have walk and work with ease

But for the massacre we are pained

When will thou arise and shine

And put on your purple and wine

Let it not be later

But rise now, Father of fathers

To help the nation whom though loveth 

For I know, HE liveth.

✍🏽 David Olumide (Beloved)

HEIRS

Father of many children;

Jews, Gentiles, even heathen,

Although since caused a breach in Eden;

Yet willing to call them brethren. 

Sacrifice of animals could not do;

Atonement with birds, calf and bull,

Not a pinch of sin could be moved;

So the old testament need to be removed.

Then came the first born;

He died and left the veil torn,

Giving us access to the Father as son;

Joint heirs with Jesus made us one.

✍🏽 David Olumide (Beloved)
