Tine, Martine
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.

You don’t know that you’re alive until you wake up from sleep!
You overlook how well your heart keep beat until it starts skipping them!
You breathe effortlessly until your lungs gives you reason to worry!
Do you catch your mind wandering away from focus or do you realize way later that you had wandered off?
Time is of the essence if you have things to look forward to, if not it just drifts and you rarely keep it.
Yesterday, today and tomorrow are days that we often speak of but what remains engraved in our memories are either of today or yesterday.
We can’t keep any tomorrow memories until it gets here hence we’re always looking forward to it but never catching up because it keeps becoming a yesterday or a today!
If you were to write your whole life story backwards you’d have to know the ending first to backtrack to birth.
We rejoice at birth and cry at death whereas some cry at birth and rejoice at death, would you call that a life cycle well balanced? Ponder it!
Have you ever conversed with self concerning your unruly behavior and disagreed with your logic, explanation or excuses?
If heaven was on earth and earth was in heaven would humankind have to flip upside down to seek repose or would we enjoy our heavenly earth so much that we wouldn’t strive for any better?
What if you wake up one day to find that every single gospel truth you denied was the Only Real Truth and now it’s too late and you’re caught in a trap of your own making for eternity?
What if your kids decided to disobey your truths and lived your lies?
What if you were forced to face your mistakes for life and death was a recurrence of the same because the only truth that saves is Jesus and you rejected Him hence rejecting His Father also!
What if holding on to God meant nothing to Him because you denied His Son your heart for soul-saving?
What if your logic isn’t golden in God’s book but His Word is bond to save your mind, body, soul, heart spirit, mind, life and eternity?
What if God is calling you to step out of the by-word that has labeled your race to stand for Him on a ground that’s not comfort zone?
If you were told that if you trust, believe and raised your hand to God in your scary darkness, He’s faithful and just to deliver you. Would you rather remain in your scary darkness trembling in fear?
…That point in time when your life has so much going on so to balance faith walk and sanity means to let go of foolishness. So anyone who entertain foolishness gets left behind because the weight of the soul is a pressing matter which shouldn’t be bargained with.
Loving people doesn’t mean to reject self, learn that early on in life!
Letting go of the crowd that distracts your focus on God doesn’t make you a bad person, just a person of character with set priorities! Whomever disagrees can welcome your absence!
Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever! That’s comfort that never changes! But even in this know that the door to grace will someday close. The elects in Christ will be gone and there will be no more time to ‘get it right’ before you come to Jesus the Savior! Don’t wait until He comes as King and Judge to decide dearest, it will be too late!
THE KING-JESUS IS COMING!

She tried to help but was dummified.
She saw and understood the wrong.
Her righteousness wouldn’t tolerate
So great an act without a match.
She fought, she screamed and sought
To verify how deep the scar’s inflict.
Behold, she was discovered
And yes, great price she paid
Although it’s been so long
And she found out upfront
He made her dummified
A believer of the absurd
Accepting the inane
Approving obnoxiousity
The term for it is brainwash
Some call it manipulation
But I call it violation
Of others’ purification
I vowed to save her
From this madness
To make it right
So back I went
Due to the promise
My heart remembers oh
How persistent she’d been
To fix before it fell apart
The gifted child received
But alas! She suffered loss
I can’t like a judge with gavel
Just rule her guilty for I saw
Her injury while shielding me
Such must count as just
Even Cesar gets what’s his
And she’s greater than Cesar
Wounded in battle birth-giver
You’re free, oh variant warrior
No longer bound to his evil ways
Come off this wretched battle ground
Lay down your bow, sword and arrow
Lift the WORD that shields mind-body-soul
No, Says she! One must continue spirit-feed
You’re free I say, “Take Jesus” SPIRIT utter!
Come forth from darkness into light
In this was born and raised, I was and
Here I’ll die without a care I give, says she
Oh what a blow to child who seek to save
A warrior who’s life was laid as bridge for her
The sand all flowed, there’s no time left
Child walks alone with God as warrior turns to salt

Love is….
A rainbow
A power
An attitude
Good wishes
A psalm of gratitude
Meant to be shared
A song in my heart
A tonic when you’re blue
Something that will never die
What gives life its goal
Courage when misfortune falls
A rainbow
A light at the end of a tunnel
Thoughtfulness for another’s woes
The way I feel around you
Suffering for the love of a brother
The joy of doing things for someone dear to you
A thing that proves itself a thousand times a day
Letting you go though it hurts
Wanting to spend an eternity with you
Your gentle touch which is so comforting
The look in your eyes which resembles a shining star
The smile which shows how much you care
A rainbow
Like a butterfly, it goes wherever it please and pleases wherever it goes…

My Shadow follows me everywhere
He’s there in the dark and light
In the day, it’s easy to see my Shadow
As the sunshines he finds me
At night, it’s quite a different sight
Often I fear he may be lost
But that’s not so, for when the
Smallest ray of light appear,
As does my Shadow near
My Shadow follows me in every way
He does as I do, looks as I do
We are inseparable, Shadow and I
Even in the deepest and softest silence
Shadow speaks ever so lively
He breathes life in all that seem lifeless
My Shadow is important to me
Because he’s mine alone
None other would dare to compare
Shadow and I, on a journey to win
Through thick and thin
We’re determined to win ’cause
We’re survivors, we don’t give up.
We simply put up, at times
We shut up to get up, higher up.
Shadow ticks and tocks around me
Like the hand on a clock.
But through all the phases we,
Shadow and I look the same
Without ever looking into a mirror.
I see my constant reflexion
In my SHADOW!

THOUGH SKIES ARE GREY
Though skies are grey and hearts dismay
There’s gladness in my heart
You’ve been away, you’ve come to stay
Our love will never part
Cherish my love, look to the dove
For He has made us One
Watch the rain fall, it nourishes all
And blesses us each day
God’s reign is tall, our name He call
To see if we’re astray
We’re yours O Lord with One accord
Show us your burning light
Deep from within, I know I sin
That’s part of being humane
You cannot win or enter in
If you use Him in vain
So play it smart, be kind at heart
His Kingdom shall be yours
Then walk right in there’s life within
All has been forgiven
Thus you now shine, and you’re all mine
Says God to His Children

Just as the stars can’t shine without darkness, so also if the light stands alone its value and worth is undermined or stifled! If you find yourself in the darkness just release your luminescence to shine. As you do so your awakened blazing light will blind and swallow up that darkness. You were created to glow in such a time as this! As such, know that darkness will follow you because it can’t be helped (your beam will attract it like a magnet) since you’re obligated to twinkle your sparkle exists to disarm, destroy, deroot the weight of all darkness! So go ahead glowing, glimmering, gleaming from glints to explosions in gloom! As you carry Jesus the light of the world within, nourishing daily on God’s word, go forth shining bright!!!

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!

“…Choose ye this day whom you will serve, God or mammon…!” (Joshua 24:14-15)
You need to know that evil is really evil, it’s not a game to be toyed with but a malevolence to be rebuked at each given opportunity. Each statue represents an evil spirit and when fed or activated will aim to confuse, corrupt and kill its host and those around. These are not to be tampered with as it is pure diabolical. What you fear the most or despises most becomes that which you are spiritually initiated into marrying, it possesses and feeds through you to ransack others’ lives as it consumes you within. You as a host might not even know what you’re packing yet you are. It’s of utmost importance to seek to accept Jesus as your personal Savior because to not choose Jesus is to accept evil to rule in you! There’s no third wheel or shortcut to salvation, it’s either Jesus or the devil. To attempt to generate another route is to deceive the self! Your choice determines your eternity’s outcome. Your free will is to be used in your soul’s best interest so as to not fall prey to the evil one. Choose ye this day whom you will serve but be ready to pay the consequences of a fallen soul for an eternity. An eternity without Christ will hold you accountable for the borrowed soul which you must render to God without blemishes or stains. You who cannot create souls, how will you remit the ransom of your own soul and those that ought to have been saved through your gracious walk with Christ? Choose ye this day an eternity where Jesus continues to live in you even after your heart has stopped, your blood ceases to flow through your veins, your breath neither inhale nor exhale! In that place where death resides it gets plenty dark, you’ll need Jesus the Light to brighten your path to an eternity of glory! Jesus is there for you, receive Him today before the door to grace closes and Salvation is granted no more and the Holy Spirit leaves this earth!
