IF TOMORROW

If tomorrow I should forget yesterday, Yeshua, be my guide.
God of Ages, my hope and trust is in You
Hold my hand and lead me on


Every good and perfect gift is from above
Bestowed by the Father of Heavn’ly Lights
You don’t change like shifting shadows
You hold yesterday, today, and days to come,

You are the vine. I am a branch
I will bear fruit in you
Oh, let your Word as
Fire shut up in my bones
Be a lamp unto my feet,
Light to my path.

I CLOSED THE DOOR ON LOVE

I closed the door on love

I kicked him out, no more

I pray to God above

If love’s a man enstore

He’d find himself a tree

And from that tree he’d see

A neatly well carved cross

‘Twas carelessly toss’d

On ‘t shoulders of my Boss

To preserve my eternal loss

Upon entering my life

To take me as a wife

Not as a dagger or knife

Nor should he bring me strife

He’d plainly see my worth

Was not man-made since birth

Only then if proven not vain

Found knowledge he didn’t waste

Could he dare to ever gain

My heart, life, love at fired haste

POETRY.COM (PAST)

I remember when you were so young

So vibrant, full of fire and free

You hadn’t a care in the world

It all came easy, you had no want

You grew up so fine

The object of all’s desires

Inquired by many, requested by most

And all yearned to be found in your sight

E’en at an old age beauty remained

All heads turned for you

All eyes yearned your glare

Young and old awaited your approval

You’re no more amongst us

And your legacy live on in many hearts

Your daughter’s features resemble you in many ways but

She hasn’t your fire, she’s young,

Her flaming’s low

Yet her long lean stride reminds us of your constant flow

WAITING

I wake up in a cold hard sweat

To find that I’m alive, you’re not!

You’re the object of my every desire,

My inspiration, my essential twin.

What am I to do? With this love I am indebted

God’s fire in you had me got!

I yearn to intertwine with that fire!

No one could ever convince me you’re not kin.

E’en now as the wall separate us,

Our love bond somehow is stronger.

But to see, touch, and hold you is my fuss.

Oh, what am I to do? How much longer?

THE SPIRIT OF GOD’S WORD

Jesus is the only one who can refile us. The devil has many tactics to defile us in our values, our attitude, our prestige, our hopes, our dreams, our intentions, our expectations, our desires, our ambitions, our faith, our Christian walk and if given the opportunity our very heart and soul. To resist evil and discern his techniques, it is of utmost importance to delve deep in God’s Word with constant devotion. So it’s not enough to just seek the Armors of God; (Ephesians 6:11-18) Helmet of Salvation, Gospel Shoes, Shield of Faith, Belt of Truth, Breastplate of Righteousness, Sword of the Spirit. More so it is required and even commanded to bind God’s Word upon our heart and tie them around our neck, (Proverbs 6:21). It’s strongly advised that we should teach them to our kids, whether we’re asleep or awake we ought to speak them in our house, walkways, doorposts and gates, write them on our hand, heart and forehead,  (Deuteronomy 6:6-9). This is how deep within our hearts God’s Word should be engraved because it is quick and powerful, sharper than a two-edged sword. It can do for and within us what we’re unable to do for ourselves. Jeremiah must have experienced in part the power within God’s law, Word, statutes and command when he said, His word was in my heart as “fire shut up in my bones” (Jeremiah 20:9)!
How much and how deeply are you willing to let God’s Word transform your life today? …So after having been defiled by the wiles of the devil, remit your life and soul to Jesus, the only one who can refile that which was once defiled! In trusting God you won’t be put to shame for He holds true to His Word which is Yay and Amen. (2 Corinthians 1:20) A present help in time of need we find in Him, a light to our path, lamp to our feet, the good Shepherd that never loses a sheep, the lighthouse to our soul! Whatever the sin the blood of Christ cleanses! (Isaiah 1:18-20) Trust and believe that the Holy Spirit intercedes before God’s throne for us with sighs and groanings (Romans 8:26-27) still and take courage! Hence, let the Spirit of God’s Word move you to glory, for time is at hand!
