IN HONOUR OF THE ONE WHO LOVES



Wrapped in swaddling clothes 
You seemed ordinary
But the earth and it's cosmic force loudly pronounced your kingship 

You weren't born to rule 
You already ruled long before the foundation of the earth 
You were born for me 

Compressed into human size
Just so my limited mind may comprehend your worth 
When you touched me 
It was the dance for all eternity 

Your gentle strokes re-wrote my destiny 
You only are my ecstasy 
The definition of true value  

Read: When We Call Him Abba

You are the inestimable jewel of zion
The hope of all mankind

It's to disaster that men reject your identity as Son of God
And  to call you His son is partly true about your identity 
For we know that you are God himself 

You are the Firstfruit of the father
The first-born of the living
The hope of the age to come
And my guarantee of royalty on earth 

Read: Is Jesus Really the Only Way to God?

When you wave your hand
The sea roars
When you blink your eyes
All flesh seize to exist 

Because in you is life and that life is the Light of men 
You are the ripple pleasures my soul embraces
The fantasy of religion but the unequal truth and reality of those who acknowledge you as God 

To be loved by you is priceless 
To be owned by you is of inestimable worth 

You are the sparkle in my eyes 
The pleasure of my soul and yes of my body 
For it decays in corruption until the trumpet blast on which I shall be changed 

Changed, changed to become like you 

You are a worthy king
Beloved of the father 
Slained before the foundation of the earth 
Slained for my justification 

The price of my worth 
No degree of pleasure or bouts of ecstasy
can compare to the break of dawn when I awake in your arms 

Read: Diplomacy or Denial

Tree of life 
Garden of pleasure 
The beginning 
The End 

The father's untold story 
The consummation of God and man 
I stand complete in you 

Head of principalities and powers 
Ruler of all ages 
The crown and cocoon of creation

Annie Adores you 
Mystery of the father revealed in me

GOD IS KIND: The emptiness of hope

Read part 1 here  In Lagos, I fell ill as soon as I landed. The city is crazy. The traffic is unholy and the carbon monoxide infested air is an extension of hell. I didn't want to get back on that road to any hospital so we got a qualified nurse to come treat me at home.  The Nurse said she couldn't treat me except I did a pregnancy test alongside malaria test. Both came out positive. I was glad that the sickness wasn't Lagos madness inspired. My baby must have wanted to notify me since I refused to take a second look. Unfortunately, she used one of those quinine brands  in attempt to protect the baby. She sadly didn't check with me first.  I became miserable from all the itching like one who hugged devil's beans. I tried to rest as much as I could and thoroughly enjoyed both my family and ministry itinerary while being pampered like an egg. I preached passionately at the event I was invited to. I talked about loving God and serving him devotedly even when disa

GOD IS KIND: The Integrity of his promises

  Read part 5 here My stomach started bulging. I sent pictures of us to my family. My sister-in-law posted on her WhatsApp status. About two or more people told her my face looked pregnant. She told me and I said my usual, Amen. After all, someone that’s been declaring herself pregnant since August should truly look pregnant by December 😂😂 I focused on my vacation, determined to thoroughly enjoy myself. One morning we all hit the gym and I led a dance exercise. Worried about my bulging tummy, I used a vintage  vibrating exercise belt  on my belly. Click the word to see how it works. It vibrated so intensely that my belly “caught fire” I begged to stop. Vacation was over we went  home. At this point, it was barely 3 days to 2021. I had an assignment to submit at school. I started writing it but noticed it was a struggle. It felt as though something foreign had hit my brain. I was also hosting a 12-hour prayer-thon. I managed to pull through these. Then we went for cross over service a

WHY DO “LOOSE” GIRLS MARRY FASTER?

“If this life has anything to gain at all, I’ll count it lost if I can’t hear you feel you, cause I need you…” rang my amazing ringtone by Lecrae. I picked up the sleek darling to see who misses me. It was this pretty friend of mine. Ada (Not real name) and I met at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka in our first year. We had a lot in common and she was just my type (whatever that means) LOL. Anyway, I was (and still am) literally and figuratively in love with God and I noticed her heart was committed to God and His standards too. Well, we graduated four years later and you know how life happens. We haven’t really kept in touch for a while. I heard sometime back that she was engaged and I called to say congratulations.  We talked about how life had been since after school and how we both are still fervently loving and serving the Lord. She said her wedding was three months away and I told her I definitely needed the aso-ebi (A uniform material sold to people who wis
