My dealings with God.

Image
 The Bible says, Faith is the confident assurance of things hoped for, The evidence of things not seen. But does it count... If I also hope for a positive and negative response? Does it count... If I expect God's will to rarely fulfil my desire? I cannot continue steadfastly, like others, in my walk with God. I’m still learning... Learning to be steadfast with my weekly fast, Learning to make my quiet time more than an off-and-on switch. So, I shouldn’t bother God, should I? He’s busy responding to those who can. I’m careful not to sin—His wrath isn’t far off. If I misbehave, His angels might discipline me. I try to live at peace with everyone, People-pleasing and all. Do you think He is pleased? If I don’t get it right today, I’ll run. I’ll hide. What if He shouts at me? I compare myself to those who’ve gone before me. Maybe I’ll get it right if I do it their way. I just want to make Him proud. Everything I do feels futile. Is it difficult to please God? Is it difficult to live a ...

Favour!

-
Image
 FAVOUR! One thing we cannot escape in this Kingdom. It’s not earned; it’s our inheritance! Our badge as scouts of the Kingdom, Marking us at every turn. At every corner we find ourselves, It cannot help but go—ding dong! When others say, there’s a casting down, I’m in an elevator—going UP! A pattern of struggle, they say. But my only struggle? Explaining my ease! Favour—my Goodluck charm, My unshakeable companion, Always ahead, always around, always within! It’s not just a song.  Not just a chant. We don’t just sing it—we live it! This is our reality! If all I must do is grow in wisdom and stature, Be sure—I will find Favour before God and man. I cannot escape it.  It surrounds me like an unbreakable force shield! You call it grace? I call it, "This Grace called Favour.” You say it's mercy? Well, guess what? Goodness and Mercy are tailing me! All the days of my life! Get used to FAVOUR— It will cover me from now until I see my King! In this university of life, It’s not t...

God Can Never Be Man

-

 Being hurt by the ones created in His image, Going through traumatic experiences, Pains and flashes of terrible pasts, Unpleasant memories...all from His image, But God Can Never Be Man! We need to differentiate these entities. When they were expected to be present, When they were present yet nonchalant, When we preferred their absence, When their presence births fear and anxiety, Though His image, God Can Never Be Man! That's why He filled everywhere with His lovely presence. When we had to reserve our fears to avoid being misunderstood, When we had to filter out words to avoid being attacked, When we had to talk to our pillows and diaries, When being transparent is a sign of weakness, Though His image, God Can Never Be Man! Come boldly to the throne of mercy! When we were abused physically, When insults are tossed around as if they were harmless, When it's accepted as to lack self-control towards another sexually, When His images have so much scarred us, God Can Never Be Man...

All means All

(Traditional Hymn) All to Jesus I surrender, All to Him I freely give. All to Jesus I surrender, Humbly at His feet I lay. Spoken Word/Poem Another Sunday, another dedication. All other days, what was dedicated is taken back. Don't judge me; I want to enjoy life. If lying seems like a way to avoid some people, I will. What's wrong with my actions? I still read my Bible and pray; God understands my struggles. Yes, I surrendered all on Sunday, but if I let Him have His way, He either delays or doesn't respond to my liking. So, I do things my way. There's no harm in drinking, going to parties, or listening to any kind of music— King Solomon advised it. But the Bible says all things may be good, but not beneficial for you. You have been called out; therefore, consecrate yourself. Isn't it right to enjoy life according to the way designed by the One who created life? What's the point of studying the Bible if it doesn't reflect in your decisions? What's the po...

Who is on the Lord's side?

-
Image
God is having a meeting with the sons of God, and the devil walks in. God: Where do you come from, Lucifer? Devil: From going to and fro on the earth, of course. God: As always, you refuse to rest. You are already defeated. Devil: But not all humans believe that (chuckles). So, I won't stop until I take them all with me to eternal condemnation. God: You understand that time is no longer on your side. You're going to and fro the earth with a bruised head. Aren't you afraid of what more my children can do to you? Devil: Hahaha! What children? These ones? I will simply give them what you have been delaying, and they will be mine. Eternity is for everyone, but not all will receive life. God: I know what's best for them, whether I answer immediately, later, or negatively. They will know that from my word. Devil: Look at them. Do they seem interested in your word? Do they look like people ready to spend time praying or fellowshipping with you? All I need to do is ...

But why?

  Me? I don't care if you judge me.   If it's easy, try it. What you see me do, and how I behave,   Are the effects of what I went through. You must have had your life all planned out.   There are no scars, physically or otherwise.   So please don't tell me   What I should and shouldn't do! You're talking about God's love—   Where was He when it all happened?   Why didn't He stop it from happening?   Why didn't He leave the 99 to find me? The trauma engulfs me,   The words play like a stereo,   The scenes play in episodes of different seasons,   And all I can do is put on a mask. I called Him several times to save me.   I prayed for Him to give His angels charge over me.   When I hadn't been consumed by sin, I called—   And He never responded. He loves children, right?   Was I grown up in His sight that He behaved otherwise? ...
