The Lady I once loved

Image
---THE LADY I ONCE LOVED--- I saw her in the streets Messed up, torn in bits. She smelled like piss Like a cat stuck in shitty pit Everyone passed by But none stopped by . . She was ruined all through Her life was headed for the rocks I couldn’t turn a blind eye So I picked her up Took her home Had her cleaned her up And gave her some clothes . . When she had taken a meal I set her on a bed to rest By her side, I took a kneel Waiting all hours during her rest Finally she woke up Beholding my smile as I watched . . We conversed, we talked She had a lot to say as she wept About how she was abused, drugged and dumped I had empathy on her: cuddled her as a pet She was grateful So filled with thanks . . Time happened I had her life set on course And her beauty was revealed So I loved her without a cause For she was radiant to behold Tender to hold . . I couldn’t wait, not a second longer I made my move, I had her wooed I told her how I l...

The lie Of Fear and The unforced Rythms Of Grace

             The lie of Fear  and The unforced rythms of grace Acts  24:25 And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.  24:26 He hoped also that money should have been given him of Paul, that he might loose him: wherefore he sent for him the oftener, and communed with him. "Are you tired? worn out? Burned out on religion?Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life.I'll show you how to take a real rest .Walk with me amd work with me— watch how i do it.Learn the unforced rythms of grace .I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you.Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly."  Matthew11:28-30 The Message(MSG)28-30. scenario 1.

Hitting The mark

Image
Sunday sermon Date: 12/Aug/2018 Topic: Hitting the mark Objective: getting the church to a place of spiritual maturity Speaker: Ijeoma Living stones is our identity in Christ. When we come to Christ, we are no more living a life of our own, It's Christ living in us. We receive the Holy spirit when we accept Jesus as our Lord and saviour. God has called us to growth, it's in growth that we access the fullness of God. (Eph 4 vs 11-15) (Col 2 vs 6-7) (1 Peter 2 vs 2) The more we grow, the more responsible we are and the more productive we become. The writer of Hebrew was sad and disappointed with the lack of growth in the Hebrew church (Hebrew 5:11-14). The fact is that salvation is is not enough, It's just the beginning of pursuit for a deep relationship with God. Peter writes that for us to respond to the promises of God that to our faith, we must add virtue, to virtue add knowledge and to knowledge temperance......... (2Peter 1 vs 5-10) Why should we matur...

A fellowship of love

Image
A Fellowship of Love Activities! ,activities!! activities!!! Martha had just finished singing with the choir. She had earlier  prayed with the Prayer group. Then, she is to have an Exco meeting and also go on an outreach with the Evangelical group. Martha has to afterwards pen down a write up on "Acceptable Stewardship". She still has to help share fliers later.  This morning,  she had only enough time to say a hurried prayer and  now, Wole asked; "Sister Martha, can you help me  decorate the Church?" Of course one would expect this response "Am I a machine that you'll just be pressing  to work!work!!work!!!" and this was exactly what Martha meant to say. But instead she said, "Oh! Of course, I'll help Brother Wole" Luke 10:40   "But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? Bid her therefore that she help me." Luke ...

The MASK

Grrrrhhhh! The sound of alarms waking up millions of people around the world. It’s morning, life’s on. Shoes and clothes on, bags and tools hung on shoulders, the race has begun. There is a daily human need that everyone wants to meet. The most basic of these according to Maslow’s Hierarchy of Human Needs are:  food, water, shelter, clothing etc.  These physical needs usually drive most of our daily pursuit but hidden behind them are the things we all are truly seeking.   Things such as: love, friendship, security, comfort, satisfaction and acceptance. In the absence of these we tend to become depressed, lonely and anxious.
