The Imperfect Reflection - Poetry



She can’t remember when last she went on her knees,

But she can’t ever forget to bend in other to wear her collection of pinkbottom heels.

She doesn’t speak in tongues anymore,

But the latest gossip in town she pours out of her mouth and much more.

She won’t even reverence His name.

Jesus Christ! She calls out as she makes love with a married man, no guilt or shame.

Where did she put her bible?

Her chequebook, gossip magazines and android phones are all near her and reachable.

It doesn’t mean she doesn’t go to church,

Oh no, she never ever misses a service, never late as much.

So why is she even a subject?

Don’t we have anything to do other than make her the target?

We have no idea how unfair life has been.

She will live her life the way she pleases, don’t you judge her that’s just mean.

But recently she noticed she hardly recognizes herself,

Oh wait, I am talking about the girl in the mirror... I am talking about myself?

My Inspiration - Poetry




    
The Lord Inspires me,

Helps me to be the best I can be.

Everyday life brings its challenges all the way,

But I know I have a superhero,

Someone who will help save the day.

He turns those challenges to zero.

He is alpha Omega,

The One who was, who is and will always be... My Oga

No matter what lies ahead,

I am no longer afraid, satan hope you have heard.

The Lord truly is my inspiration,

 This simple writing is a sure confirmation.

Francesca Battistelli - When The Crazy Kicks In (Official Music Video)

I totally relate with this song from Francesca. It is extremely difficult to find time for Christ these days, putting Him in our busy schedule daily...before crazy kicks in... But no matter how hectic our day looks, starting it with Christ is the best way to open our gift...the "present" day... making the day much more rewarding... Yaay!

-The wisdom to see freedom isn’t free-

    -The wisdom to see freedom isn’t free-


Growing up in Africa, one thing that i know my people have fought for all their lives is freedom. Despite the fact that we celebrated our 54th independence day on the 1st of October just to acknowledge the fact that we have been set free, we had hand bands, phone cases, keychains, stickers bearing the word freedom just to buttress that point that we are no longer slaves.


The sad truth is that, freedom has never been free for us. Soldiers, officers, civilians, men, women, children and animals can bear this witness as they have all paid dearly the price of slavery with their lives.


We still patiently wait for the return of more than 200 girls abducted over five months ago in Nigeria. The horrid memories they will have even after they are eventually set free from their abductors may enslave them in other ways probably worse than they currently are.

Freedom is not free...


Jesus Christ wanted to set us free, as we had been enslaved by sin. He being the all knowing acknowledged the fact that a price must be paid for our freedom. That price was His life; He died so that we can live...


So if Jesus could do it, then we can do it too...Pay it forward, pass it on....Parents should be willing to pay the price for their children, Government should be willing to pay the price for its citizens...


What is the payment for freedom?Sacrifice...But love is the key ingredient that provokes the act of sacrifice; Jesus loves us so much that he didn’t mind dying on our behalf to set us free.


The wages for freedom is sacrifice...But sacrifice can only suffice when there is love...When you see an enslaved nation, you see a nation that lacks love. Slavery can and will be stopped when we stop preaching religion and start preaching love. Freedom will be achieved when we stop playing politics and start showing love.


Love is the exchange value and it is absolutely free...I haven’t done much to stop slavery; I don’t even know if I can make that sacrifice myself...I must be honest. But my heart bleeds out when I see injustice or slavery, I always wish I could do something and at the same time I get scared that I might regret my actions if I do. 

Probably get arrested for speaking up or get hated for standing in the gap for someone or even get killed for setting someone else free...But the Lord hasn’t given me the spirit of fear but that of love and of a sound mind so I gladly proclaim that I am no longer afraid of the consequences... 

I am a Human Right Activist for those in slavery...

 I now have wisdom, knowledge and understanding that FREEDOM ISNT FREE, THE WAGES OF FREEDOM IS SACRIFICE AND LOVE IS THE EXCHANGE VALUE... #BringBackOurGirls #ShineYourLight #SpreadTheWord
