Shredded

It grabbed my attention

I held it will utter concentration

It can’t withstand the force exerted

Furiously, my effort was repeated

Again and again, till its’ shredded

The large and thin, now short and thick

The united and plain, divided and rough

The paper screams in protest,

But no, it already failed the test

If you’re accurate, it will be safe

If you’re relevant, I’ll keep you safe

But no, you are a sacred cow

Your sight, make many bow

Searching for what’s foul

Tasteless salt is wasted,

Imperfect paper is shredded:

Life is for the relevant,

Your treasures are important,

Present your best self,

Only the best get to the shelf,

others are shredded!

From Obstacle to Miracle

You'll walk through the Oceans if you believe.

Whatsoever stands against you can't withstand the force of faith in God. Faith turns Obstacles to Miracles.

Mountains,
You're rigid and intimidating!
But, You can't stand faith,
You'll always give way for miracles.

Oceans,
You're soft but consuming!
Yet, you can't stand faith,
You'll always yield dry land.

Gates,
You're firmly shut and limiting,
But, you can't stand faith,
You'll fall off cheaply.

Nigeria from the Hills of Plateau

I took to my heels,

I ascended unto the hills,

I saw what the future holds,

Its direction of the bold:

Up NEPA! Is extinct within our borders,

Our streets are free from beggars,

We treat all men as brothers,

No more ethnic or religious barriers,

Neither does nepotism rule our careers.

As the sun like an eagle soared,

With Confidence, like a lion I roared;

I ran across the veins of gold,

I saw beauty of our land unfold:

Slow release, efficient use of coal,

And other resources our sweet goal;

The wells of Oloibiri hasn’t run dry,

Yet doesn’t kill our fry!

Do you know the nations’ food basket?

It is now a continents’ food market!

The flora and fauna of Yankari,

Feed the screen of nations with amazement;

Ever roaring and splashing, Family of Kainji,

Rejoice as they light our hearts to contentment,

Didn’t history tell of the pillar of fire in Onna?

It now put smiles on Nnena!

JAMB is a safe shuttle,

No knocking down, no hustle;

Every sq. ft. yield value beyond measure;

They are not consumed on pleasure,

Every person is a jungle of treasure,

They are not ruined by pressure!

I see an army in motion,

We are not for commotion,

We are highly skilled intellectuals,

With boots we trample rituals,

With pen we paint pictures,

Brick by Brick, we create structures

For an industrialized nation

With life balance and satisfaction;

Our Identity – Unified Diversity,

Our Direction – Life University:

We own leading institutions,

With life lifting innovations;

Wow! One naira is a dollar!

At 20, resourceful and rich!

At 90, strong with 10 years goal!

Meet Mr. President,

A mentor to world leaders;

Love is our landmark,

Rectitude is our hallmark;

What a beautiful Nigeria,

From the Hills of Plateau

Able

God's love for me is unquantifiable,
His Grace is unfathomable,
His presence is indomitable,
His instructions are irrefutable,
Through him, we are more than able!

His tests make us desirable,
His wonders are unforgettable,
His directions unmistakable,
His life in us imperishable,
With him, we are more than capable!

For this reason, he prepared a table,
And set us among the refutable,
With purposes indefatigable,
To effect changes he enables
And eliminate the ignoble!

Jehovah Jireh, the Lord our Provider

Gen 22:14 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah Will See; so that it is said until this day, In the mount of Jehovah it will be seen.

Is all you see scarcity?
You’ve got to tune to
 the source of all things,
Give him your life
& He’ll give you His!
His life is that
of exceeding great abundance!

The world cries of recession,
But to his sons,
abundance is in progression,
What is it that I lack?
Nothing!
Not even an armor for my back!

For all His creation God provides,

But how rich is Heaven’s treasure bank?
Available are His resources for every son that ask,
Obedience, fruitfulness are faith are needed to cash.

The whole world is in the Hollow of his hands,
How great will you be
 if His finger directs His provision at you?
Do you have his vision?
His provision and supervision towards you abounds!
Faithfulness and generosity is Jireh’s lifestyle.

Have you learnt the life of the Giver?
Givers never lack, beggars always ask!
Have you walked with the Giver?
Then, He has made you a giver. Live on in abundance.

El Hai - The Living God

In schools,  we are taught that God is dead... But that's far from the truth.  Interactions with Him show again and again that He is not just living but the life giving force.

Psa 42:2 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?

Will He who destroyed the power of death die?
Will breath cease from He who gives it to all free?
Ignorant of grace, your silence men call death;
Is your “Shaking” the sign of your life on earth?

In You, has life got definition:
without You, it faces termination;
With You, life is a valuable treasure:
without You, it’s full of pressure;
By You, all needs are met;
outside You, men earn a living with their life;
For You, life is an asset to invest:
from You, it’s an object of pleasure.

Answers you give the curious,
direction to the lost;
Sight to the blind,
protection to the haunted,
Repeatedly, Revivals have announced your arrival;
Living God, now we need you more than ever.

Worthy of Worship is He who directs the war ships,
Won’t we follow He who walks and shows us his footsteps?
Reciprocating His Love is our reasonable response,
You live, O Lord, to see your sons attain your status.

Bye for now

I've been to places,
Seen several great faces,
But at every new phase,
We go our different ways.

Maintain God's pace,
Enjoy His grace,
Seek His Face,
We'll meet at the ace.
