The word is the end

(....in the beginning was not the word, In the word was the beginning....Niyi Osundare) ................................................. The word is a bag of keys Store it in your heart And all doors are yours The word is a capsule of life Fill your belly with it And yours is the abundance of life The word is a pot of peace Cook it yourself silently And yours is life of no strife The word is a wand of truth Sway it like a banner And you shall keep away all lies The word is a garland of safety Let it dangle and tingle in you And you shall not be robbed The word is the beginning The word is the middle The word is the end. [C] Benson Richard Onyebuchi.

Let there be light

Before the begining began, From the top of nothingness, and the middle of ruins God rhymed his rhymes: Let there be light. now eyes do see, For God rhymed light from his words and there was light. In the beginning, light walked this dusty clime, Pure compassionate life giving light, Opening eyes, Unstoping ears, Loosening tongues, Straightened legs: Changing Lives. and they heard and yelled and saw the goodness of that light, For God rhymed a verse, And there was light. Before the ends beginning, Men ran with speed of light, Uprooting walls and Gates, Women slayed with great might, Breeding their young with rhymes of light, And light dwelled in many bellies, Calling forth things from nothingness. For God rhymed a line, And there was light. In this end of time's begining, Naked Darknesses harasses lights, mocking God's very lines and rhymes, With theories of error in pictures of silver, and Adam weds Steve, In buildings adorned with crucifix.

THE THREE PROFOUND COMMANDMENTS

Image
THE THREE PROFOUND COMMANDMENTS BOB As a child growing up there were three commandments of the Bible I was made to memorise. I wasn’t bothered with the third. If I should be concerned, it was with the first two. The first is love the lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might. The second is like unto the first, love your neighbour as you love yourself and the third is husband love your wife as Christ loves the church and gave his life for it. Later in life I gave them my own tag, the three profound commandment of love. There is something that amazes me and the same time bothers of the three commandment. They demand something beyond the ordinary from anyone who is concerned with them. As a child I was not really concerned with any. I was only excited memorising them. This does not mean as a child I didn’t fight or quarrel with other kids in my neighbourhood – I did. But I wasn’t told I needed the “the love your neighbour as yourself” comm...

MANAGING YOUR THOUGHTS - a series

Image
Proverbs 4:23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life . The chapter past was important, it’s the foundation of the subject in this book. It’s necessary you take care of chapter one else the rest of the chapters might not profit you. Nevertheless, I still encourage you to read on, may be some light may come to your heart and then you can profit. There are five senses. Among them are the sense of hearing and seeing. The ears and eyes are the major gateway to the mind. Every matter that borders around the human mind finds their way majorly by the sense of seeing and hearing. How the human minds works is really amazing – your mind. Your mind is a portion of your soul majorly. Your body needs food for survival, your spirit needs the word of God, and your mind (soul) needs thought. Your mind can’t be blank. Yes, not even when you’re sleeping. In essence my friends, you can’t stop your mind from having thoughts. You can only decide what kind of t...

You must be born again

You must be born again Brother this I’d not have you fret. This is not optional, it is a must.  You must be born again. How true this statement. “Hay bro you’re making all these sound churchy and spiritual”, yes. A problem has no physical root but a spiritual one. Okay, listen and hear things out.  Nature has a way of helping us. Whenever we have a serious hit – a big problem people naturally go away from us. This implicitly means fix yourself first and then we shall return. As earlier hinted, people leaving you does not mean they are hard hearted. When you’re desolated, emptied and everything taken away leaving only just you to fate then ‘you are born again’ you never thought about this. It’s a serious issue that you must be born again, it is not a spontaneous process, but a conscious step you must take. There are people; things one must eliminate from life to survive the storm. The solution gate of many problems are design to be so narrow that you must be just you to pa...
