Bitter kiss, Sweet bliss
Yesterday We hugged as friends,
But today he kissed as a fiend,
My absence he thought is the end,
Unknown to the wicked,
His action and hatred,
Proclaimed My personality to earth's end.
Bitter kiss leads to sweet bliss,
If The Courageous swallow the venom,
Yet On the cross, bless
Grave will battlefield be,
Where you'll bruise the serpent,
And resurrect with blessings and bliss.

Weigh the past, throw it up
Time is the ultimate currency of our existence,
How do you utilize this scarce resource that meet ends,
Has alternative uses and has the speed of light.
If your life will have weight or be light?
As seconds culminates into minutes without waiting for the clock,
You should fill each with glorious thought and stocks.
Dont waste it, Pass it or Spend it but
Redeem all you can and invest all you have:
Youll discover wisdom in time management
Life will earn you its true value.
I'll take hold of my time,
For its flying fast like light
With quality investment, I can achieve great strides,
I'll not weep for lost time.
Advice a wise man, he will get wiser!
With gentleness and meekness,
you are on the journey of endless exploits
Weigh the past its the strength of today
Throw it up; if it falls then be sure:
Holding to the past, no matter how great it is:
Will weigh you down and lead to fall
In Christ you are not under the law of gravity
When men say there is a casting down,
You are saying I stand on the solid ground,
Operating by the law of aerodynamics,
I mount up the wing like eagle and fly
Many are trials, on the part to greatness,
They are opportunities to love and trust God,
Without the bears, lions, David wont call God his shepherd,
Without the pursuit of Saul, he wont call God his shield.
You are a Blessing!
With a dress sense that dazzles,
Wisdom that puzzles
And impact that wont fizzle
You are on a upward move, never look back.

Learning as Christ Did
He knew the importance of the scriptures,
It is the essential difference between men and sculptures;
He took his time to study the scrolls, a form of the bible,
He knew it is the most powerful rifle;
In the battle with the devil,
With the word, He overcame evil;
Have you read your Bible today?
About your situation and purpose, it has something to say!
Do you feel shy to ask questions?
Jesus sat with the leaders in the heart of tensions;
From a tender age, He began to discover,
Through interrogation, what he came to recover;
His questions, who can answer?
Before Him, Human Wisdom was shattered,
By Divine Revelation, Peter could answer,
And all the evil plans for him were scattered.
What do you learn from suffering?
Submission in Obedience or Arrogance in Grumbling;
What do you learn from giving?
Cheerfulness birthing Significance or frugality for poverty;
What has persecution taught you?
If not the fathers’ will, nothing harms you!
What did Jesus learn from temptation?
They are access to greater future and he can overcome!
Will you learn as Jesus did?
Follow the Spirit’s leading,
Don’t hold on to hurts of what people did,
Open your heart to the Lord’s healing;
Do not despise the days of little beginning,
Stone by stone, you, the Lord is building,
Neither grumble nor complain,
Father’s intention will soon become plain.
He listened to the father,
He observed the father;
What the father does, he did;
Where the father led, he went;
He followed in God’s Step,
He entered into God’s Rest;
As a son, Approved of the Father,
He learnt the will of the father

Seeing as Christ Did
What do you see? What would Jesus See?
Is it the stick in your neighbours’ eyes?
Hmmm! the log in yours, Jesus points you to see
You see the adulteress but not nakedness before all eyes?
Under the rubbles of sin, will you like Jesus lift her out clean?
Again friend, what do you see?
Do you see the rules as an excuse for not acting well?
Grace and Truth are here to lead away from hell,
So, Why not see the intentions behind the instructions?
Intentions liberates men, instruction builds limitations!
Now, Please I need an answer: What do you see?
To the glory of God, now you have your sight back;
But do you still see men as trees?
With the eyes of faith, like the syro-phonecian woman, see
What is truly yours and overcome your lack!
About the suffering all around, what do you see?
In what situation do you see Lazarus as a dead man?
He slept that by faith, Glory will come to God!
Why condemn as a sinner, a blameless father or a blind man?
Judge not & live not by sight but faith to see the glory of God!
Jesus followed God, never depended on senses:
In a moment, Peter was the mouthpiece of God,
In the next, He was pleading against the will of God;
Today, I will die with you; Tomorrow, He wept for betrayal,
Yet, through his ups and downs, Jesus never stopped prayer!
Do you see Leadership as Kingship?
Then, you can’t wash the feet of your sheep;
Though, Christ being God left the streets of gold,
The bruised reed he didn’t break as on clay, he trod,
Yet the yoke of the enemy he broke.
Lift your eyes and see:
The glory set before you,
Which when all eyes shall see,
Will magnify God for his love for you,
Though bitter may be the cup you’ll drink.
