GOD DOES NOT SHOW FAVORTISIM.

But He showeth mercy
In place of judgement
He shows the way home
To the one who's wonder
Off from the Father's house.

God does not show favoritism
But He showeth grace
And make that graceless life
Graceful in all ways and manner
Making His grace creating the difference.

In the vastness of His eternal grace
No soul is left without a place
His love extends to great and small
A righteous judge who sees us all
In Him no partial paths we trace.

The rich the poor the young the old
All stand equal in His fold
He calls the humble and the wise
Sees beyond the world’s disguise
His truth is steadfast pure as gold.

Each prayer is heard each tear is seen
No one is last no one between
His mercy flows a boundless sea
To every heart His love will be
For God’s embrace is always keen.

MY GOD WHO SEES ME!

In shadows deep where silence speaks
Where heavy burdens crush the weak
There is a light that finds my way
A watchful eye, both night and day
My God who sees me.

You see me when the tears won’t cease
In moments robbed of hope and peace
Your gaze is soft yet strong and sure
A love that knows, a heart that’s pure
My God who sees me

When I am lost You still pursue
In desert lands Your streams break through
You hold my soul within Your sight
And chase away the darkest night
My God who sees me.

O God who sees the pain the scar
You know the depths of who we are
No corner of my soul unknown
For in Your care, I’m not alone
My God who sees me

You are the eyes that never close
In joy in grief You see You know
My God who sees whose love redeems
You hold my heart, my hopes and my dreams
My God who sees me.

SEE GOD.

You no need to fly
Before you can see God
God is always close to us
Just as our breath is
So He is.

You no need to climb
The highest mountain
Before you can feel
The presence of God
His presence is everywhere.

To every turn you take
To every road you travel through
You no need to go too far
Before you can see God
His presence is everywhere you go.

You no need to run the miles
Before you can reach God
God dey for you if you dey for Him
Na two way things and condition dey sha
So forget watin society talk about God.

Because God is never a God
Which is so far off Him way no too dey hard
His presence dey closer than you think
Watin man think say or paint ‘em nor bi em at all
Remember say you no need to fly before you see God.

IN THE HANDS OF GRACE.

Through storm and flame we rise and fall
But in God’s hands we’re held through it all
When the world feels heavy and hope seems dim
We turn to faith, we lean on Him
God, family and survival.

Family stands like roots in the ground
A shelter of love when none is found
Through laughter and tears, joy and pain
In their embrace we’re whole again
God, family and survival.

Survival isn’t just breath and bone
It’s love it’s strength it’s never alone
With God above and family near
We conquer the dark we conquer the fear
God, family and survival.

THE GOD OF THE GOOD AND BAD TIMES.

The phrase
Why does bad things
Happen to good people
Is an old long time saying
And the phrase has never gone para-phrasing at all.

Sometimes life takes on a tour
Spotting us into the spotlight of life
And life happens and still goes on
On on some highways
The good and bad moments.

Life still kept happening
Revolving as it goes on life clock
It lifts one up and set the other down
When least anyone can remember
But in all there is a supreme being up there.

To those who believe He exist
And to the one who doesn't
The later beliefs life is by luck
While the former beliefs life is control by the supreme being
The God of the good and bad times.

But in the midst of it all
No matter where you are
At the moment shit do happen
But make sure you get in under control
It we all fade away one day just keep hanging on.

GOD, FAMILY, SURVIVAL.

In the heart's quiet whisper, where dreams softly nod 
Lies the essence of hope, the presence of God
In trials and triumphs, His light gently streams 
Guiding our footsteps, igniting our dreams
His love, a beacon, through life’s stormy seas
Bringing solace and grace, a soul's sacred ease.

In the embrace of family, where love’s roots grow deep 
Lie the moments we treasure, the memories we keep
Through laughter and sorrow, together we stand
Hand in hand, heart to heart, a united band
In the circle of kin, we find strength anew
In their unwavering love, our spirits renew.

Survival’s harsh whisper, a relentless tide
Tests our resolve, where the strongest abide
Through valleys of shadow, and mountains we climb 
Each step a testament to enduring time
In resilience, we rise, like the morning sun
In the dance of survival, battles are won.

God’s grace, family’s love, survival’s keen art
Three threads intertwine, woven in the heart
In faith, we find courage, in kin, we find cheer
In endurance, we triumph, dispelling our fear
Life's tapestry rich, with these threads so entwined
In this trinity sacred, true peace we find.

So let us cherish this triad divine
God, family, survival, in life’s grand design
With faith as our anchor, love as our guide
We journey together, with hearts open wide
Through trials and blessings, in unity we stand
Crafting our story, hand in loving hand.

GOD KNOWS WHEN.

Even in the midst of stormy waters
Even when days are weary
Even when tomorrow is a distance from today
Even when through sunshine and hot water
God knows when.

When life begins to fall apart
And its center refuse to hold anymore
Every situation seems looking impossible
And when life seems dark and dreary
And it seems the sun refuse to sunshine.

After several darkest moment
The birds refuse to come out to sing
And life becomes bored and boredom set in
As you begin to lose interest in life
God knows when.

When life serves us a breakfast
That we never come to terms with it
Tomorrow is not sure while in existence of today
That life itself becomes its shadow of itself
God knows when.

When all of life is over
And its seems our hands are weak
To still hold out to the whole promises
What life becomes and still starts fading away
Just like a stars in the morning meeting with the sun of the day.

God knows when
When all hope is lost
When all nothing is left to nothing
When it all being said and done
Only the hope of a better tomorrow still lingers on the path of life.

God knows when
Our heartaches
Our trouble time comes sufficing
Our world come crashing down at our face
Our hopes are dashed amidst stormy moment
God knows when.

HOPING ON GOD.

Life will change
As life goes on
Moment we come
When it seems is too hard to hold on
To God’s own Words of promises.

And this is the time of
Hoping on God
Through the night
Come what may
Everything we be alright.

God is watching his own
He never sleeps nor slumber
He never tires of hearing our voices in prayer
No matter how many times we call
His hope makes us hoping on God stronger.

From the distance
God eyes is fixed on His own
Hoping on God
Is never a lost venture and it
Comes with great return on investment.

Hoping on God
While the moment past
While the days gone by
Whatever betides our states of existence
Hoping on God that is all we need.

Hoping on God
Even when our own hope fails us
And it seems is not stronger
To pulls us through and carry us
From where we are to where we want to be.

Hoping on God
Brings great gain and reward
Though many a times is so hard
For us to do so because when life issues
Come crashing on our shoulders it weighs us down.

HANG ON.

It is a lifelong call
The call out of distress
From a distress caller
The other end the voice sounds
So depress and desperate.

But the caller hang on
Still clinching to the phone
Dialing and dialing yet at the other end
No one seems to pick up
A distress call from the distress caller.

Called and called
Yet no one to yield the phone
To answer at the other end
Life is beginning to fake out on the caller
The sound of the voice still goes out.

Alas!
Someone pick up the call
From the distress caller
At the other end not waiting
For any response the caller says a word first.

Hello God,
Are you there can you hear me
Is me your child here speaking
I need to talk with you just a little talk with you
Am hanging on to wait for you to reply and listen to me.

From the voice
You can sense and see
That the caller is not ready to hang on
Until the conversation is been heard with God
Just a little talk with God makes it alright.

Of which the distress caller
Knows fully well that just a little talk
With God and everything is alright
Finally the conversation ensue
Hang on God said.

As he makes the request
Of the distress caller ready
And the answer is already on the way
What a relief the power of importunity
Just have faith hold on and hang on help is on the way.

NO TIME THAT IS TOO LATE.

Moses was 80 years of age
His life was almost going to an end
People say
A fool at forty is a fool forever
There is no time that is too late.

Eighty equals forty times two.
If this statement is true
Then a fool at 80 is a double fool forever
They say once you become 80
You cannot be useful by God anymore.

But God called Moses
To start a great work that will count for eternity
When he was 80 years old
Many years earlier, he had sensed and thought
About the call but ran ahead of God.

An act which cost him
Forty wasteful years in the desert
Lonely and abandoned
He walked the backside of the Midain desert
Tending the sheep of Jethro till he lost his self-ambition, pride and self-promotion.

When you think everything is finished
God says it is time to start
When you think it is too late
Now to do anything
He says this is the time to begin.

When you say I’ve lost every opportunity
There’s no point making any trial again
God says I’m willing to forgive you
You can get started now
There is no time that is too late.

We should not be in doubt
About what God wants us to do and
Where he wants us to be
There are people that are very ambition
Their hands, mouth, ears and eyes are everywhere.

THE AZUSA STREET REVIVAL

The mission on Azusa Street is gone
Memories have faded
The big question now
Before our contemporary church and Christian
Is this one question what remains…
 
Six million lives
It all begins in one single building
Then spread to all the whole world
 
One hundred years ago
A movement like none other
Since shook the very foundation
Of the American church
People reported speaking in tongues
 
New denominations were formed
And the charismatic movement was born
This was the outburst and result
One single event which happens on Azusa Street
It shook the foundation of the church
 
Spawned numerous denominations
Changed the lives of six million people forever
All this happened in the 20th century of the world
Azusa Street is the story of real event
Real people and real God
 
A warm April day of 1906
When a group of African and American people#
Gather together to pray to waits
On God’s Spirit a slave boy went for that meeting
William J Seymour preached as if it was his last message
 
Jennie Moore explains the touch of Azusa Street
It seemed as if a vessel
Broke within me and surged up
Through my being which
When it reached my mouth
Came out in a torrent of speech
In languages God had given me
 
What happen inside that house
Separated the father from the son
And mother from daughters
It invites ridicule from the press
And divided congregation in Los Angeles 

At the same time it change life forever and for good.

IF YOU DON WALKER FAR

Remember this
No matter how far
You don stay from home
I beg you make you come home
Because na house make sense die
 
Remember say
Your own be your own
If everybody don give up on you
Your own no go fit give you up
Even if them give up on you
 
Remember say
Papa God love no fit run out on you
Him love never dies talkless to give up
On you as you be Him pikin
Just come house as house make sense
 
If you don walker far
Remember to trace your walker back
To your papa house e dey wait
For the front of the door to welcome you
No matter how far you don
 
Go away from house
See outside no pay
As you go lost for that outside
Where you dey like this
If you don walker far
 
God dey call you to come house
He still get matter for your matter
Him no go fit fanish you as you bi
Him pikin wey Him die for
Before you go lost abeg come house back.

THE FAITH

The faith of our Father
Not the faith of our pastor
The faith of God's own Son
Not the faith of our pastor's son
The faith

Of God's unfailing Word
Not of man's failing word
Of the faith stands for a lifetime
Not faith only here in this world
The faith

That stands and contends against sin
Not a faith that is bent to suit circumstances
Not faith twisted to be deceptive
The faith of a living God with a pure heart
Not faith in the love of dissimulation

The faith is base on long-suffering
Faith of the old ancient landmark
The faith that forebears one another
Faith in God's won redemptive work of grace
The faith

Faith that we take us home
To get to see our Maker
Not a faith that whose hope
Is just here in this world
The faith

Eternal faith is never an earthly fate
Not faith in pursuit of material earthly gains
But faith whose treasure is laid up in Heaven
Faith that stands no matter the pressure of men
Faith that overcomes the tempter's snares

GOD DID IT

There are days
When it seems
God is so far away
And our prayers a distance away
From the dusk to the dawn of the day

There are moments
We will just need a speedy miracle
Out of life's problems
And it seems we're traveling lonely
On life's long road

There times
Will wish we can turn
Back in the hands of time
And bring back the beautiful moment
When all seems roadblock at a t-junction

There are period
When men's criticism
Weighs us in the balance
And be withered us
And we got sick for men's despitefully use you

But in the midst of all these
God came through
And proof is never a God-like man
But He is still the God in times of old
And still God in the present hour of our life.

A SOLEMN PLEA FROM THE HEART

God thank You for this opportunity
I don't know what You want me
To do right now or how will
This turn out but I know that
You knew the answer before
 
I knew there is a problem
Thank You for trusting me with this
Thank You for allow me grow in You
I know You must trust me a lot
To give me such a great assignment
 
So I want You to know that
I am listening I want to hear You
The very first time again like before
I don't know how long or difficult
This road will be
 
But I ask you give me the strength
For the journey I am not asking
You to make my journey easier
Or the road shorter
I'm just asking for You to be with me
 
To guide me and to give me
Your strength because I simply
Cannot do this on my own
And I am begging You to please
Let me live for You and You alone.
