Live Not For Worry


This poem is written by me and my friend Adebayo Yinka.

Worry is a castle built in time of despair,
When with hurts no one can repair,
When things are bad
And we are sad,
Tell me why not to worry,
Who else cares
Where can I run to if not the big castle.
Am  running to these castle 
Not just for shelter...but for what?.

Since I can't get a cure,
Let me get hurt the more,
So much to worry for,
When there is no cloth or fur,
Boiling up with faults,
Did not make such things halt,
Nevertheless salty.
Though I do crave for tea,
That's not the task,
This to quench some thirst,
Alas! My head is banging,
Eye socket's hanging,
'Why is this so hard...?'
My heart recoiled.

So much to worry for,
My state is so faugh!
What I need,
Is it really a hug?
Ahh! Am frustrated
And even irritated,
Why worry? 
When I can pray,
Hmm,
What have I gained ,
Even from these state,
Nothing but a vengeful taste,
Of defeat.
Why worry?
There's nothing to gain,
But lose that cost.
Worry isn't Fake but dust.

Preparing for the Second Coming: Living with Eternity in Mind as a Christian

Image
  Photo by Sebastian Knoll on Unsplash  There lived a man named Samuel. Samuel was a kind-hearted and humble individual. He spent his days volunteering at the local shelter, assisting those in need, and spreading love and compassion wherever he went. One day, as Samuel was going about his usual routine, helping his neighbors and tending to his business when he noticed an unusual commotion in the town square. People were gathered, whispering amongst themselves with grave expressions on their faces. Curiosity piqued, Samuel made his way towards the crowd, eager to understand what was happening. As he approached, he overheard snippets of conversation mentioning the "rapture." Intrigued, Samuel inquired further, only to discover that according to the beliefs of some, the rapture was an event where the righteous would be taken up to heaven, leaving the rest of humanity behind to face a time of great tribulation. As the discussion unfolded, Samuel realized that some people were act...

Your Journey In Life is Spiritual.

  There was a song I learnt as a kid, which was—read your Bible pray every day—the song affirms the notion that if you don't read the Bible you won't grow but shrink and when you do read, you will grow. The song is one of the ones my mind ponder on most times and I find myself singing it to the younger generation. They might not understand the real meaning but at least they’ll get the deal when they get to. And when they get to, it will be for their spirit, whatever you are and will be begins from the spirit. There is spiritual growth and spiritual shrinkness. Spiritual Shrinkness. Spiritual shrinkness can be likened to a weakened soul battered and scarred, sucked out of energy and left to die. The thing is , the shrinkness doesn't just start, it's like when a poison is taken in the smallest fraction but biomagnifies when smaller portion are accumulated everyday to the extent that it becomes lethal and yes—you know the end. Spiritual shrinkness occurs due to our inadeq...

How to Cultivate Gratitude

Image
  In the busy and often overwhelming pace of modern life, it can be easy to overlook the countless blessings that God bestows upon us each and every day. From the air we breathe to when we overcome bad situations to the loved ones who fill our lives. Yet the gifts of our Heavenly Father are abundant, and often underappreciated.  However, cultivating a spirit of gratitude is not only pleasing to God, but it also has the power to transform our perspective and enrich our lives in profound ways. By intentionally recognizing and embracing the daily blessings that surround us, we can find greater joy, peace, and contentment, even amidst life's challenges. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. - James 1:17 KJV Recognizing God's Blessings The first step in cultivating gratitude is to train our eyes and hearts to see the blessings of God all around us—it's like seeing ...
