REAL JOY (Poem)

-


There's food on my table
The woman by my side is beautiful
Everything I do people marvel
Wondering why I am always able.

But deep in me is a porthole
It may have been dug by the troll
I wish I could say I know
All I can wish for is to be whole.

Longing to have it filled
I searched the whole field
And then I met Him
In whom my salvation is.

I thought I had all
And love never seen in this world
But when I met my saviour
Then I knew real joy.

YOU COULD BE TEMPTED WITH WHAT YOU PREACH (Ebunife Notes)

-
Image
I was to preach in an online Bible study meeting early this week. The message was centered on how we are to relate with others. Funny enough, the temptation started just hours before the meeting commenced. My siblings did some things that annoyed me, but I knew they didn't mean it. Yet I was upset and I couldn't even pen down my message till it was time for the meeting.  I was like, what am I to talk about? And then I got upset with the topic because I became totally blank.  But I did what I always do; I told the Holy Spirit to have His way. And mehn, God did it.  As I started to type on my phone, to begin teaching, words just started coming. And I knew it wasn't me. God really is faithful, and He will not let us down when we call to Him. People were blessed, and I praise God for it.  But it didn't stop there.. Satan came again.  This time it was almost 3am. I woke up and found out my siblings had done the same thing I got upset with. I knew they didn't mean it,...

       Have you heard about Jeremy camp and Melissa Henning? You've got to hear their story. Watch the movie I STILL BELIEVE.      People have questions about God, a lot of questions and seeking answers. They ask, why is my prayer not answered? is there really a God? why did God allow this to happen to me?  etc. There are lots and lots of questions like that in the heart of many. Yet also, there are those who have concluded in their hearts to turn against God because of what they perceive as a failure on the part of God. Some have turned away from him because of some prayers they didn't get answers too, especially those if the life of a loved one is lost.      Meet Jeremy Camp , an American contemporary gospel music singer and songwriter. A young man who went through series of situations that tested his faith in God. Despite all he passed through, though he was brokenhearted, he stood and said i still believe !      M...

THERE'S HOPE (Ebunife Notes)

 Are you breathing? Check again, are you breathing? Then I have news for you, there's still hope.  There are a lot of things going on around us in the world today, many things that could make us compare ourselves with others and thereby making us see our inadequacies, errors, flaws, etc..  But let me ask again, are you breathing? So God is not done with you.  Take away your focus from others. Take your eyes away from anything that is not God. When we shift our focus away from God, when we take our eyes off Him, we try to direct our lives ourselves thereby causing frustrations and all.  Just keep your eyes on Jesus.  You're alive and breathing is a chance to take the right decisions, it's another chance to get right with God if you're not yet His child, it's a chance to choose right. Don't relegate yourselves or think low and shallow about yourself. You're needed by your generation. Seek God so you can find your purpose. He created you, you are not a mistake...
