The place of rest in Him

The greatness of my father

2015-06-18T01:51:00.002-07:00

His greatness is my greatness
His sweetness mine to savour
His power mine to optimise
and his mercy mine to show

He dwells in the heavens
His mighty spirit at work in me
He guide me with his word
daily to benefit and keep me

Oh the sweetness of the father
Shown in the son
Daily i enjoy his love
Shown everywhere i walk!

Selah

Great father!!

Its an awesome thing to be alive
To smell the freshness of life
To be able to enjoy the freshness of the air
The coolness of the evening calm

To be able to smile
Looking at your beloved and receiving a hug
its all because of the joy within

The joy of the lord is my strength
day and night, all the way in him i am strengthened

We win

The year of the word!!

2012-09-21T06:26:00.001-07:00

We will be filled with the word. We will read the word. We will meditate the word. We will speak the word We will be transformed by the word. We will be transfigured by the word. We will be renewed by the word. It is our year of the word!!!

Greatness in us his children

We are approaching the end of times
Times of despair, wailing and toil
Its been predicted and prophesied
In God's Holy and mighty word.

Men's heart will fail them
Situations of abundance will crumble
Downsizing, job losses and collapse of economies
Seemingly the of the world is approaching.

Wars and rumours of war
Anarchy, disobedience, hopelessness.
Despair, despondency and break-ups
Collapse of seeming standing business kingdoms,

In the midst of this.
God's word will still rule and reign
We will stand on it and get results
We will be protected roundabout and fortified.
His angels still go round keeping and maintaining his
word works for us.
For they are ministering spirits roaming the earth
to keep and meet our needs.
While some are failing and falling
Those who depend on the word will rise and prevail
These are the ones who have a relationship with Jesus
We have hm as an anchor of our souls
Our stronghold in the turmoil
jesus lover of our soul

In Him you can be secure today and forever

life in the spirit

2011-07-26T01:17:00.000-07:00

He is all the help we need.
The power house of the trinity,
In our spirit he makes his dwelling.
Present within and without.
He is quiet, yet loud. Gentle yet tough.
He is powerful yet grieve-able.
HEavily sensitive and ever working beyond our expectations.
He is holy, awesome and has been a great revelation to me.
I intend to explore him more.
He is all the help I need.

Yeah.

The faithfulness of the father

2009-09-22T07:22:00.000-07:00

peter trusted in his words
and he reaped a boat breaking reward
the lame man believed in paul
and he walked free from his bonds
mary beckoned and received the angelic commands
and she became mother of divinity

countless trust in him
and receive directions and inspiration
he is the same, yesterday and forever
his words powerful
his grace lifting
his protection, protecting

he is the one we can trust
when all else continually fail
he is the one who can heal
when the wisdom of man ends
he is God and will always be

the one we can TRUST!!

CHRIST...MAS joy to the world and my heart too

Christmas is such a warm time.
a time of gifts and presents
both from 'Santa Claus' and loved ones
a time of gathering together and sharing and caring
a time of joy, songs and warmth and pleasantness
a time to be with loved ones

Christmas is such a warm time
a time the saviour was born
though born in a lowly and smelly manger
he ruled the the theologies of teachers
and brought to nought the skills of learned men
he spoke as he heard the father and healed
he heard through the spirit and demonstrated him
healing, teaching, delivering and setting free

he opened closed minds, he healed bent-over bodies
he stopped issues of blood and made eyes open
he made disciples of crooked custom officers
and had a thief as his finance director
he operated in the spirit and gave everyone
the chance to experience this experience

some concurred, some believed, some were in disgust
some followed for food, some listened to learn
some were selfish, curious to touch his garment
some got healed, some got trampled over and other picked pockets
but we know they all had a chance of a foretaste

today some (countless millions like me) believe
others laugh in scorn at Christianity
some just gaze in amazement, and others don't bloody care
but its something we will stand up to at the judgement throne
what we believe is much beyond Christmas
its a life thing

merry Christmas to the ones who believe
and to the ones waiting.. merry Christmas
may your heart receive the true meaning of the celebration
let your heart open up and believe
because Jesus is the reason for the season and he reigns forever
he is the only man who was born, lived, died and rose again
and forever will be.
He is worth believing.

to sing HIS praise

2008-11-12T04:24:00.000-08:00

Praising his name and singing his grace beholding his face and declaring his ways He is the almighty the ever present the one who reigns and is the one who will forever be We are called by his name sealed with hid spirit marked with his greatness seeds of the holy one He is our father to whom we can call abba he is our carer who watches over us all the time I choose to praise his name i choose to lift his praise He is worthy and mighty He is the lord of all He is the great I am and he rules eternally He is the Lord Yahweh our king and master Ruler of the earth..

SEASONS OF OUR LIVES

walking down the streets
seeing fallen leaves
summers just been passed
and falls here at last

its all about seasons
a time to grow and a time to loose leaves
a time to feel cold and then the hot heat
unending seasons of the enduring earth

i think of his promises
his word, his deeds and his miracles
it all starts with a seed
sending forth his word to do

for as long as the earth endures
seed time and harvest
and cold and heat
shall never cease

its baba God at his best
ensuring our hearts again
and again that his promises wont fall
or fail in our lives when we believe

the falling of the leaves
remind me of the seasons
i am living in my season
and enjoying the God of all seasons

and for this am thankful

GOD IS GOOD

2008-06-13T11:09:00.000-07:00

here i sit and think
of all hes done for me
looking back
and thankfully thinking forward
and reviewing his mighty deeds in the past.
So wonderfully short of words
i still give my thanks to HIm.

You know Hes always there
Be it in the tiny issues of our lives
Or the mighty "make ground open swalow me up ones"
hes still there working it out.
and its when we see the victory that we say
once again and again he is god.

recently i had so to say given up an issue
and i had proceeded to just move on and be grateful
but in a foolish and funny way
He worked it out, a seemingly un-do-able thing
and here i am with my family in manchester
all our visas recieved
for this am grateful

Once again i choose to say
whtever we need he can provide
when it seems challenges want to swallow us
and all we can do is take it as it comes
hes at work if we look deep within
like he did our desire, he can do yours
advises, ideas, and opportunities to throw in the towel will come
but we got to stay with the lord
cos he alone can do

i can confidenlty and clearly say
once again
my GOD IS GOOD

AND THAT SHOULD APPLY TO YOU.

Happy Birthday, my pretty one

2008-04-27T06:02:00.000-07:00

The world is a beautiful place
because you made it.
my heart is overwhelmed
by the fact that i found you,
and you took me in and made me
someone cherished, loved and cared for

Every single waking day
I thank Him for you.
I wake up with you by my side
and am blown away by the fact that i
love you more and more.

Not because you've blessed and added to me,
made me a husband, a father and most of all
a best friend,
but because of the experiences
i have had with you, the times we shared

Was it when the car broke down on the third mainland
and you had to steer the car while we pushed
it to a safe place inspite of the fact
that you were not feeling too fine
yet you still allowed me (n d car) to stress you.

you have given yourself to me
and i the same
and i know there is a bright future ahead of us
i love you and happy birthday baby.

love you always

always....His

2008-03-18T02:15:00.000-07:00

and throught the storm i can be strong
cos i got the one who keeps me on
and through it ups and its down
all i gotta do is hold stand my ground
because my father and friend has given his word
and its the same word that made the world
so i can go on all the way
i can strech myself the extra mile away
though winding the road may be
and unsteady its tracks may seem
though narrow and uncanny scenes
its sights may beam to me
i walk in the light of his word
and wield the strenght of his love
for i will not be put over
but i choose to walk over
for my father and my friend
awaits me with a champion's shield
made just for me.

with my sights set on this
i walk and move one step at a time
and win and win one day at a time
for this is my clime
to win and shine

we win!!!!

Yesterday

i thought about worrying
carrying all my cares and troubles
troubleshooting in the depths of my being
seeking to find a way out of my happenings
surely there must be a solution
and maybe with worry i might just find it out

well am still here listing my cares out
one by one, weight by weight, need by need
colour by colour
oh, i got so much to arrange to size
i gotta get outta this plight
somewhere theres got to be light
i just need to focus and maintain my sight

today
am not the better off,
in fact my needs and troubles just increased
and am not done finding solution to yesterdays
am still trying to tell meself worry's not the solution
i think its just a mindset to the wrong way
for there is a right way to every situation
and worry aint one of them.
though am still kicking meself

sometimes it seems like fun to start worrying
carrying weights we can't hold up alone
is my baby ok at the creche?
i wonder what 16yr old bobby is up to at school
with his gang?
oh my hubby, can i trust that man?
and my wife is something else this days.

tommorrow

i plan to live long
live life to the fullest
and i choose not to make worry me pal
for its friendship ends when one dies
i choose to live one day at a time
and enjoy my walk with the lord
for He says
which one of us taking thoughts
or worrying about things
can add to himself or cause increase to come#
even the birds of the air that literarily
do nothing, God feeds everyday
how much more you AND me.
the very apple of his eyes
let go of worry.
for worry will worry you to the grave.

have a great life devoid of worry.

TO SING HIS PRAISE.. MY HEART DESIRE

2008-03-10T04:25:00.000-07:00

in every way, every day, all of my life
i want to be a voice calling up his presence
with the voice of my words, with my heart filled with him
i lift you up, my great lord and king

in every thing i face, thru my ups and my downs
in every strom, and thru the billows of the raging sea
with my hand lifted up and my eyes in his words
i lift up yourname my eternal lord

to sing you your praise,
each and every day, is all i wanna do
dear lord to sing of you
to lift your name
each day and in every way, my thoughts of you
dear lord is to
bring a smile to your face

oh let my life be an offering of praise
let it be one that lifts your name
let it be one that gives you strong desire
to bless everyone around me
bless and bless
dear lord bless everyone arounnd me.

HE IS THE ONE WHO CAN!!

All things bright and beautiful

lifes troubles come to us
in different measures,
its ultimate aim,not only to discourage
but eat at our hearts treasures!

it may be a storm, hard rain, dryness
loneliness or seeming brokeness.
its onslaught and goals remain the same
but we gotta be steadfast and unwavering

Holding on to the dreams we shared
of a great tommorrow and future in our hearts prepared
We win, that is the end of the discussion
even though now all we see is seeming frustration

You are not one to falter or totally fall away
from what or whom you believed
you rise up to the level you see yourself
and fall to the depths you allow
but see, you are a treasure of great measure
and your life gives the father always great measure

Dreams come through, in fact everyday it does
just stay in the gren cos it almost your turn
you can have what you desire, just believe
you can reach your future aspired, just recieve.

there is love waiting......and he can do it again!!

lay him before him

2007-10-02T11:08:00.000-07:00

When it seems the storms won't cease
and yur troubles never leave
all around trials and temptings abound
and no help in sight could be found
lay it before him!!

When precious time is running out
and your dreams are more a doubt
dissappointments n failures have made your heart to fear
and seemingly yOur future's unclear
lay it before him!!

When circumstances and situations tend to stress
and comfort, hope and strenght can't be lent
It looks like there's no one on whom you can depend
and it seems you are at your wits' end
lay it before him!!

There is someone who knows and sees it all
there is someone to whom we can call
his grace ever available and at your beck and call
his infinite mercies ever unfailing and free for all

lay your troubles before him!!!

and behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken with a palsy and they sought means to bring him in,, and to LAY HIM BEFORE HIM..lUKE5:18

wonders of HIS hands

2007-04-14T14:15:00.000-07:00

like d babe with the issue of blood
a great spectacle she was to all
had to announce her smelly arrival to all
but when jesus came and made a call
her life became a BALL

the case of the shunamite was worse
she had money, fame, she had it all
but there was no child to whim she could call
and when came in the father of all
she became a happy mom to a son

remember the mighty soldier in the bible
who had won laurels and probably every known title
leprosy was a regular part of his schedule
thru' a little girls' seeming babble
he dipped seven hard times in an unglorious watery paddle
and came out shining and smiling with his miracle

what about the guy who fell from the window
probably the son of a hopeless window
but gods' word is not without purpose
he was raised from the dead and probably learnt his lesson

there is nothing you are facing
just remember in his eyes you are of great vlue
in HIM alone, dreams come fully true
with HIM alone, you will get there
men and man can promise and fail
but god alone has the power to say and do
and in HIM alone is the best place to stay and win!!!

what xmas means to me

2006-12-14T08:36:00.000-08:00

Much more than a time of giving
Much more than a time of recieving
Much more than going out with loved ones
Or renewing acquaintances at a place.

It's much more than spending time with family
Going to church and thanking the saviour
For all that he did by being born to save us
Much much more than the mood and the food
Much more than the holidays and the giveaways

I think its a time of love
A time to think and rethink the reason why he chose to be born
So that i believeing in his love
Can be like him and ultimately like the father.
I think its a time of renewal and revival
to walk in his will and follow his word.
He that was born, and lived and died out of love
And gave himself on a piece of earthly cross.
He had a manger-ly birth
And a hill-y death
But now is risen in glory.
Theres so much more we can learn of him
Not only in the miracles he did
The hearts and lives he touched
The bodies he healed.
The troubled minds he taught.
The words he spoke
But ultimately on his coming to the earth for all mankind.
You and me.

Christmas is about believing again in the risen Christ.
I beleive for now and ever that is all that matters to the saviour.
and it should be to you and me.

my love, my life, my wife

2006-11-02T06:44:00.000-08:00

shes the angel of my dreams
she keeps my world spinning
and i enjoy the spin daily
shes my world and my earth
shes my breath, my meal and snack
shes my jewel of inestimable measure

when i err shes my waymaker
when am down shes my spring back to my senses
when am lost she pulls me to light
shes my candle in the wind
unquenchable yet gentle
uncountable yet single
shes my life and my love
shes my heart and my song
shes the girl that i love
and will always love

shes my wife.. forever
i have found a great partner and
am enjoying the favour and the
increase of God almighty

dedicated to my wife adenike dada

ask the father...!

2006-11-02T06:30:00.000-08:00

thru your trying times
when all seems at a "bad" low
when it seems you can't get help
and the silver lining's nowhere in sight
turn to the father, he will see you thru'

when it seems u cant walk on your own
and all you know seems not enough
and you ask yourself how much youre worth
and on all sides you deem yourself wanting
newver ask the servant like the prodigal's brother
always got to the father, for he knows your greatness and worth

inspired by sekoutoure abodurins' preaching in lagos nigeria

oh katrina...

2006-10-23T03:29:00.002-07:00

devastating
destroying
humiliating thats how best you can be described

memories of you will linger forever
though not for good but bad
you came you swept and destroyed
and you left
in your tracks you left destruction
the labours of the dilligent you removed
the shelters of the people you pulled down
means of livelihood you swept away
and what needs to be done with the living
is to be thankful for the ability to start again

while you did what you did
your sibling of whichh i can remember the tsunami
also did its own somewhere else
an act of God it was called
but i doubt if that is a correct name given to you
because God is associated with great and good things only

oh katrina
full of mischief and destruction
you who sent shivers down the spines of humanity
who made men homeless and women weary
you who swept mothers away from daughters
and fathers from sons
you who levelled the high places of the earth
and made nonsense of solid foundations

you are indeed a bad girl!!!

can we help........

2006-10-23T03:29:00.001-07:00

can we help

in a place called far away
can you hear the crying
though we say its far away
but the cry is soul rending

in a cold corner somewhere in the world
a hungry soul is dying
though we cant feel his needs
but his situation is real and waiting
for you and me to help

a hand stretched forth to help
brings a smile to a partched soul
a dollar sent forth in charity
makes a day brighter for a dulled soul

we can help if we set our minds to it

a heart..

2006-10-23T03:29:00.000-07:00

a heart..

a heart is never empty
a soul is never wiped clean
or devoid of memories,
heartbreaks, decisions to make and new stuff
constantly fill up a space in our being

His heart is ever AFTER you
his mind thinks only of you
where you go he goes
when you err hes ever forgiving
hes involved when youre heartbroken, undecided and lost
He thinks of you always

glad to be....

2006-10-18T05:24:00.000-07:00

glad to be alive
to sing his praises
glad to be alive
to share it with you
glad to be alive and well
and to breath of his grace
am glad you are alive
to share it with me

we have a cause to be thankful
for all hes done
a cause to be grateful for his
goodness and love
a reason to rejoice
for sending his son
a season to be happy and thankful
for our future is sure.

thank you jesus.. have u said it today
