FINDING ME by Akinyemi Mary Stephanie

FINDING ME

Look what I’ve become
An impulsive step to finding me
An unsought act of life
I’m hurting me, my other self or Him

I hurt when I think of it
I don’t know if I should take
that step of letting go
I don’t know if I should make
right my wrong
Or if its fate playing its role

Funny how I’m not ready
to take that step of letting go
I don’t want to let go
Call it selfish or wishful,
I want to take it all
It messages, it calls, its attention…
Even though I know it wouldn’t last forever
We will be forced to wake up to life’s call
But for while I can still have it, I want it

Strange how we take it
on ourselves to hurt us
How easy it is to really break it
all by ourselves our own
I hurt all by my own doing
I feel broken thanks to me
Filled with the capacity of breaking me.


Only in this moment when
I feel down and wishing
For me everything is
Different from what it is
I hope and pray I am enough
For me and though
It all, I will come
To love and accept me
For me alone

FROM THE UNMADE CHILDREN BY PETER SALAMA TISAN

We are created in heaven,  We are made on earth.  While the Trinity mold us and breathe  life into us,  Our parents form us and give us identities.   Our families give us the life we now live,  The society only strengthens that life.  A man is a product of the society,  But first of all manufactured in a family.   Parents,like tailors  And we, like unsewn clothings,  Are left helplessly, at the mercy     of our parents  To sew us based on their knowledge and wisdom.   At risk are we,   when our parents know nothing  on child upbringing.  The same calamity  befalls your piece of clothing,  When the tailor is devoid of skill.   Parents:  When you lack understanding in raising     godly children,  Don't call us forth.   If you are not ready to fight for us on your  ...

FAITHFULNESS

-
 By Deborah Temitope Jacob It is no doubt that great is the faithfulness of God and that his mercies endure forever despite our imperfections. Two questions which then remain to be asked are “ what does faithfulness mean?” and “who is a faithful servant?” Faithfulness is the quality of being steadfast and committed to something or someone. It can also mean being reliable and worthy of trust. In Matthew 25:45, the Bible made mention of a faithful servant as a person who can be trusted with responsibilities. There are 4 different aspects of faithfulness according to this writer: Faithfulness to God (Hebrews 11) Having faith in God is trusting him completely. It is the proof of our relationship with God. We have faith in God because we know he never fails. Faithfulness is total obedience or belief in God's word and this will requires us to be connected to God and trust in his word completely. Faithfulness in relationships (Proverbs 28:20) In our relationship with people either f...

UNITY By Ayuba Michael

INTRODUCTION One of the challenges Christians and the body of Christ face this generation is that of disunity, which has taken different forms and patterns ranging from differences in denominational practices, doctrines and believes, to conviction on certain biblical principles and values. Although these issues are not controversial in the Spirit, Christians have perceived them differently and this has made the topic of unity a must teach topic that should be considered among believers and followers of Jesus Christ our Lord. DEFINITION Unity is the state or fact of being one undivided entity. It also means to have one purpose and goal by more than one person or entities. Jesus while praying for his disciples in John 17:6-19 also prayed for us in 17:20-21 “Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee that they also may be one in us: that the world may ...
