Tomorrow

Who know what tomorrow holds?
Who even knows for sure what the next minute carries in its bosom?

Each day we live like blind bats, flying round hoping to land on a rich feast

Hoping to find the utopia often talked about.

Yet who would find it?

What distinguishes that one person from the next?

All lies in mystery.

Answers we may never know
But one thing we all know
Tomorrow we hope to see

We hope it brings joy
We hope it promises greatness
But most importantly we hope we know tomorrow.

See you all tomorrow :)

Alas, He Died

It was a long weary day, for He knew what was about to happen. It had been told Him as He had for my sake dropped his jewel of Omnipotence. He had to sit with the Father to peep into what ordinarily was readily at His disposal.

This sacrifice He made for me is oh so mighty but you know what I did not care!

With the weight of this revelation weighing on His mind, He was burdened and in agony as He could not fit this into what part of saving people or good plan this was but He knew there had to be more.

So He departed with three close friends to unravel the mystery of the revelation but He could not just be there but had to walk long miles as he gave up the switch of OMNIPRECENSE so that He won't freak me out.

He knew somewhere in His mind that He was the King yet could not explain to any where He left His crown and glory. For doing this would have further sent me far from Him.
He loved me oh so dearly.

He got to understand betrayal like I do because His best friends were of no comfort or help to Him when He needed them most they just Had to sleep. While another schemed to give Him away for money.

He could have kept them awake but He had given up His master key that allows Him access to keep their minds on fire.
He gave up much more than just His life when He saved me. He gave up everything and in exchange for what I wonder
Poor, old, wicked and wretched me.

Oh that thought is too great for me, to mighty for me to understand
That the Creator would become as a created just to hang out with me, to feel my pains, to save me from myself.
Giving up his Royalty, Power, All knowing and Ever present, His Word that made all things.

Becoming a baby in the womb of His creature, from that moment He gave up all the benefits of being the Script Master, Director, Controller, Creator, even the company of the God heads. The Trinity split because of me!

Just walk with me try to picture this if you can, three amazing thrones made of substance that my wildest imagination has not been able to conjure. Diamond, platinum, gold, silver and all the precious stones put together have nothing on the component of these thrones.

Thirteen million angels constantly worshiping and praising along with all other creatures in heaven. The robes of all three cannot even be looked at because even the sun is pale in comparism to on the radiance emanating from their awesome presence.

Then the Father says He wants to save me but the picture He has painted of how the salvation will look like made even the Avenging angel to shudder with fear.

They all see me with my constant defiance, there most certainly no way anyone was willing to leave the gathering for a piece of crap like me so they keep worshiping and thinking, hoping and most fervently desiring that the Father will forget about this new quest of His.

Oh they were not there at the beginning when I was fashioned, they did not see the grand plans the Trinity was privy to that, just as the worshipers thought the Father must be changing Him mind by the unexplainable catch in their breaths and the brilliance of the presence that was already too mighty for them yet it suddenly intensified to the degree that they all had to remain face down to the ground and still as though dead but the floor as shaking everything was shaking little did they realize that the Son as they knew Him had moved and was about to change everything they knew. He got up from His throne, got down to the worship arena and knelt bowing before the God head. It was just His movement that stilled everything and sent a chill down their backs. But when He said I will go
I can only imagine the terror and wonder in their
minds, saying "Why would He?"

Because of me Christ knows something I never will- God turning His back on Him.
The heavens was agitated waiting only for a signal from him to break him free from the cross but He gave no signal
And Friday night He Died.
The earth knew it and the heavens was silent.
Alas He died!

Love’s Conquest

I fear what I see
I fear what is hidden
I fear what is assumed
But all the fear feeds on is my imagination

I refuse to be cowed by fear
I refuse to be crowded by fear
I refuse to be conquered by fear

Is it that fear ceases to exist
Is it that fear is but a myth
Is fear really so weak
Then I wonder how fear makes me fear

I am the Princess how can I fear
I live in His palace no fear can reach me
I love so fear cannot stay
Fear flees when my love is perfected

I face my fear
I fight my fear
I frustrate my fear
Till the fears fear me.

I love so I speak
He loves so He promised
His love has come to perfect my love
So fear flees because I love

To Love

Hey, how are you all doing?
Been away for a bit. Hope y’all have fun plans for the “special” weekend?

Anyways whatever it is make sure you have fun.

Here’s a quick note for the 2 loves in my life. One Perfect the other imperfect but both more than I could ask for. Thank you FL- You are awsome

My darling Love
Loving you
It’s not something I need to deliberate on
It’s not something I need to be convinced about
I love you not just on the high days
Not just on the great days
Not only for the smooth sails
But for all trails
Loving you is simply what I do

I love you when I am excited
Even when the days are dull
When the mood is low
And when the pain won’t stop
It is a decision I have made
Not a whim I follow
I love you
This I say with all joy.

FL
Loving you is more than I could explain
Your love for me is more that I can comprehend
Even when I am not in my best behaviour Your love does not stop
It does not cease even for a moment because if ever it did I would be dead
Your love is unconditional

I want to love the way You love
Not minding my weaknesses
Or my shortcomings
Not minding my constant questions
And ever so frequent straying

I need to live my life loving You
In my words
In my deeds
In my thoughts
And my ways

May Your love consume me till Your love is made perfect in me.
To my First Love, You truly are my everything.

Tolumide says a bit about that love here. Enjoy!

All in a flash

Driving down the Main Street was just as usual nothing really out of place that wet morning; I was almost at Walter Street, which housed my office. It was another day off to work again. But is someone following me? I wondered. Looking in the rear mirror, there were no familiar cars from earlier on the trip but then it was dark so how could I tell for sure.

To shake off the odd feeling I decided not to go my usual route after all that’s what happens in movies, the victim’s routine is well monitored before the attacker strikes. The bad guys always come with full awareness of every tiniest detail.
Anyway, I decided not to turn off at Marble Street rather to go up the Connor Bridge then turn into Walter Street. Not like anyone would be following me but then it hurts nothing right?

As I climbed Connor bridge I noticed something I could not see earlier, because it was dark but Connor bridge is well illuminated, behind me were two Bugatti Veyron and as they got closer I realized they were Sang Noir, now those are some engines I thought, imagine there are only 15 of those ever produced.
Wait a minute did I really see 2 SANG NOIR!
What would they be doing here at this time of the day?
A person that can afford one of that would not need to be running around before dawn to beat traffic congestion or anything like that I thought.

Very odd I thought.
Just then the two of them seemed to close in on me and seemed to be bent on push me off the Connor Bridge. No that’s got to be my imagination, about then I noticed another car from the rear gaining on us so I thought at least this guys will give these two something fun to do than terrorize poor old me in my regular Toyota. But to my utmost surprise the new car approaching was another freaking Bugatti Veyron and OMG! It is a Pure breed (Pur Sang) now there are only 5 of those ever made so I guess you understand my surprise.

Ok back to my predicament who has time to ogle a car no matter how rare- Connor Bridge is across the Atlantic Ocean and I CANNOT swim! I never learnt to, how do I intend to pull off an emergency swimming lesson in the ocean? Even if I make it out of the car alive with these guys that seem bent on chasing me off the road?

For a brief second I thought of out running them but quickly I realized the folly of my though these are Bugatti Veyrons! They are built for just one thing SPEED! Besides one is right beside me with just enough space not to touch me but not enough for me to pull any quick action the other was practically ridding on my poor car’s bumper. While the pure breed seems content to watch as the show unfolds. How sadistic.

What do I do? Who will save me in all these?

My phone is near but I can’t take my hands off the steering, because we are on some breakneck speed here with me hoping to wiggle away from the edge, and I have not gotten round to activating my voice dial so amongst other things I will be paying for my procrastination.

At least I would have been able to call my boyfriend and say I love you one last time tell him what is happening so that at least someone will have the true story of how I died.
All these thoughts swilled in my head as I caught a glimpse of the mean looking Bruce Willis type guys in the vehicles around me. About then an intimidating Hummer H3 Alpha was gaining quickly and as that happened I watched as the vehicle next to me seemed about to take off, I was almost relieved till I realized he was only making room for the SUV to do what he could not; ram his car into mine and send me into the ocean below.

All this while other cars just passed bye like nothing was happening.
Won’t anyone help?
Would someone call a police?
What did I do to deserve this?
Still I wished I could pick my phone to call for help but then who has time to call anybody when I am one half of the car was off the road, no scratch that, one half of the car was already on the safety rail all they need is one more shove and my car and I will make breaking news that morning.

To think I thought it was a normal day!

So I thought to say a quick prayer, my last I guess. As I was doing this, a shiny silver car appears from nowhere- I did not quite get the brand or make this time around, and it charges at the hummer that was poised to toss me over, horns blaring and all, before I could blink the 3 cars cycling us (the hummer and I) earlier were pulling away at a neck breaking speed the guy in the hummer took one look at the silver car and you could see the look of horror that was on his face as he seemed to recognize who was in the silver car.
All in a blink the road was free again they were all gone. The silver car seemed to follow them till they were totally out of sight. Somehow I managed to get my car off the rail back to the floor after which I let out the floodgate of tears that had welled up within me for the last horrible 20 minutes of my life.
Suddenly I saw a really bright light shine on my face and I wondered for a minute- did I die? Was that God’s glory shinning or what to my utmost disappointment but pleasure it was only the headlight of a Cherokee jeep that drove into the parking lot. Then it came to me, I was in fact in the parking lot of my office and had been there for the last 30 minutes!
It was only my pounding heart that seemed to believe that entire sinister stunt actually took place.
… it was all in my mind.

I Stand

In the eye of the storm I stand
I won’t
Back down
Stand down
Bow down
Or even look down
I will walk tall
Stand tall and
Still stand
The storm may be fierce but it only lasts for so long
I am a victor not a victim
So no I won’t hang down my head in shame
I am made for the top
So I won’t sit below eating the bread of shame or drinking the wine of failure
No obstacle will stop me rather it only teaches me the ways things won’t work

In the eye of the storm
I stand
YES I STAND

Musing

There are times I wonder why do bad things happen to good people?
Just as the thought is completed it is quickly followed by who are good people? What makes a person qualify as a good person anyway?
But then good or not so good why do bad things happen?
Can’t God just stop them? He is powerful enough to stop anything.
But I also remember if He were to do that then:
*we cease to be humans since we have to go by His commands, we become like robots that are controlled by the switches put in them by the inventor or like camels that are directed by the bits in their mouth.
*we cease to reap the consequence of our actions or inaction. Should a farmer plan oranges and reap bananas now that would really be absurd seeing bananas growing on a mango tree or oranges on a banana tree then why do we ask God to take away the effects of our actions.

Yet we are good people right we demand justice from the government but we are not even just enough to accept the consequence of our actions?
Have you ever had an exam that you did not prepare for yet you prayed to pass it? Then you are asking that justice should not be served, you are no different from the guy who is trying to bribe a judge from passing a life sentence on a murderer. Tough right? Yeah but that is the case only God the judge in this case is not likely to be like the judge that gets swayed by the money involved. There is nothing you can give God that He does not already have

So then again who is a good person?
Is it the guy that goes to church and religiously pays his tithe knowing God will return in multiple fold what he has given to Him and his sole reason for doing this is to get the blessing of giving sure He will get the blessing but is this truly what makes him a good man? Is God expected to look the other way when he claims more refund from his workplace than he actually spent on that trip?
Or is it that lady that serves as a volunteer in the orphanage just to make sure that those little children get a tough of love? She gives all her resources to help then gives her time and heart too, only she thinks she is good enough for God as a result of these actions?

Our righteousness is like a dirty rag before God and He is not swayes by our actions because He knows what we are and that the imaginations of our heart is wicked continually -note the Bible says continually, not just till they come to know Christ and are saved. Getting saved does not rid you of your flesh, the fact that you are fair skinned even if it is a chemical assisted colour does not automatically change now that you are saved. Your heart still belongs to you, if you naturally are not organized you don’t become organized by the following day simply because you got saved so why do you think the tendencies of your heart to think evil goes away once you get saved?

Would you be proud of yourself if ALL your thoughts are broadcasted to the whole world daily as they come up? Would you be comfortable having your family, friends and loved ones listening to it?
NO?
Any you are a good person right?
I don’t want to imagine what is would be like if you are a bad person.

The only one able to lay sole claim on being good is God. He alone is entitled to hold that title. He puts up with me and all my many inadequacies and yours too.
He does not treat us the way we treat people we feel are slighting us yet we slight him daily.
God, I am thankful You are not me or any other human for that matter else …
There will be no more earth.
I am thankful.
