The Unborn Child
#randomtots How does the fetus survive? In the darkness of the womb Day after day, yearning for light When will the months end? What does the world have to offer? What will my life be? How will I look? Many questions on his pre-primitive mind Anticipation eats her up He is anxious […]
Overwhelmed (3)
The pain of a break up can kill It is lethal, and many never recover Perhaps like an amputated leg Nothing can ever suffice for it Yet more deadly is the bondage of wrong love Like Cancer, It eats you up from within It’s enough to paralyze mentally Like the itsy bitsy spider, it’s failure […]
Have You Seen YOU?
Have you seen him? The one who forsook wisdom Pledging allegiance to mediocrity Insisting on perishing suddenly Have you seen her? The one who forsook her worth Preferring to die a nonentity Only for half the price Have you see them? The ones who forsook truth Collectively headed for destruction Birds of different feathers dying […]
The Tale of the Anointing Oil
So I got to church on Sunday morning and we were asked to join in the prayer session. I wasn’t informed about it before, but since it was ‘Yahweh’, the God I had been talking to and not ‘Sango’ or any other idiot, I didn’t need preparation. I’ll spare you details of my dissatisfaction for […]

There you see people charged for adultery, for gang-rape, incest etc. You […]
Their Version of God
So…it was in church, two Sundays ago, that the Drama department had this presentation; it was a great presentation, at least in terms of the creativity of the actors. It was only when they started this depiction of God that I began to wonder, “Which God is this?” It was clearly not the God that […]
Same Nonsense
Sadly, some of our preachers are guilty of the same things they accuse other preachers of; they’ve only found more Greek and Hebrew words, bible verses in several translations, and more time (as against the exhortations they call the sermons of the other preachers) to dress and package theirs-same thing, same direction, same commodity, same […]
Denial.
Mathew 26: 69-75; Luke 5: 1-3; Mark 14: 66-72.
The Philistine Army
I thought the terror of the Philistines was always an indication that the Israelites had forsaken God. I thought the Philistines come to oppress the children of the covenant only when they have forsaken their first Love. I thought their response was not to devise strategies to conquer the Philistines but rather to go back […]
