AM I NOT BORN FOR GREATNESS, WHY ME? By Emmanuel Damelare Micheal

-

 

Oooohh... Why me?

Am I not born to be great?

I feel empty and weary,

My plans are still tight on air,

   Self-heartened, not adjusting.

Things are getting worst and

   tougher; like I'm not saved, as if

   I'm not destined to be great.                          

 

Why me?

Is it that I had no visions to supersede

   my mission for it to be accomplished?

This road seems coarse and unrefined,

Like I'm not distinct to be on the right path.

I see danger crossing my boundary.

Am I not born for greatness?

It seems I lack potentials

And the zeal to flourish my dreams,

That way, I'm still left behind.

 

Why me?

I feel lonely all day long.

My efforts are all in vain; unproductive.

No one to cater for me,

I feel frozen at all words said to me.

 

Oooohh... Why me?

Am I not saved to be great?

People don't see a change in me.

Am I not an optimum of progress?

But all men could see and say is failure.

I feel upset always, falling aside to

   regrets of being alive,

It seems I'm the cause of my pains.

 

Why me?

The days are miserable, undesirable;

   like I'm not sure to be great.

I'm hopeless, yet anxious and eager to get

   out of this cage.

All I can recall is;

"I don't deserve all these".

A stream of tears flowed from my eyes,

Could this burden be turned around for me?

No one cares for me,

But I know it will end soon.

 

Oooh, why me?

I'm bloodless, self blinded and countless,

   always searching for a way forward.

As if the world is not meant for me.

I feel sorrowful all day long and night,

Is this how I will still be?

I wish I can see the end of this?

 

Why me?

I'm distressed, I have the feeling of resting

   my case

Since life is not meant for me,

But suddenly, I heard a strange voice, saying;

   " Forget your sorrows my son, for I have

   paid all for you to be saved, come close to Me

   and have rest".

 

On hearing this, I felt calm and I rest my thoughts

   on this statement.

Oh, of what profit am I worried since Someone,

   somewhere had paid all for me.

I am the major cause of my pains,

I need to work on myself to strive for greatness

  in life.

No more profit in being worried!

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 ...
