PULPIT ABUSERS

Do pastors of today preach the word of God out of love for God and the work of God or it is just a mere fear mongering business aimed at making people submit and pay offertories that would fatten the pockets of such preachers? It is their main act to scare people with the dangers of heaven and never touching on the beauty of heaven. Should it be so? I seem to be complaining and lamenting about this situation, but the fact is I am not the type who would keep quiet on issues like this and think straight.Being a Christian ( though not one God would be so proud of ) I cannot help but speak on issues like these which are tainting the image of the once noble faith. Somewhere in Africa, a pastor says the Holy Spirit has commanded him to impregnate 20 of his church members. And he would twist a scripture to back this devilish act. A friend comically said, “that spirit is not holy” and I guess he’s right. Sadly, he (that so-called pastor) would have people for his defense

My hopes were so high up like Mount Afadja. I could not wait to finish my long day of lectures. Though it’s only six in the morning and I am yet to do anything at all, I just wanted everything to be fast forwarded. I went through my normal morning routines, only that today my clothes were extra pressed. The date for this date was the best. There was enough money to finance everything. I wasn’t a bit scared of what the costs might be. So I got everything set and went for the lectures. The lecturer was standing up there being slow with what he ought to do. I know he knew he wasn’t being serious. I daydreamed the thought of us being alone and talking for the first time. We could see and share facial expressions at least for a moment. I really hoped it would be the beginning of a lifestyle. I checked the time so many times but my wrist watch seems to be behind time; maybe it was moving backwards. It is still morning. About five hours more to time.   First lecturer has finally

FOUND!

Providence gave us the encounter Lawlessness kept us at a distance Nonetheless Destiny rejoined us Far we'll drive Firmly hold me near Till we arrive With grips tight So I sail away never again Googling through the dark Mazes of shame and torture you strode To bring me back home A voice from afar Your call it was Yield to me you cried! Listen, would not I Quit, you wouldn't Stretching towards me My heart to get and All my hurts to heal Laying your dignity Not in your royalty But so low you came That so High I go A Wonderer I was Tossed around By the world Carried around by worries Though I was strong Bodily yes! Strong. Yet always wrong In your sight When your heart I met Weak I became Now right I am In your sight. Since I met you Stronger now I am Spiritually, Yes! Strong Your love did it all. In it would I dwell Yes forever! Keep me closer. I love it here Your warmth and words They soothe my pain I'll give my al

SEARCHING FOR PEACE; FINDING UNREST

How did I get here? The centre of blissful joy. I have finally found the long sought centre of blissful joy. What I admired nature from where I perched. Below the branches of the strong oak tree just seeping my coke. The non-natural sights of my house and room pushed me here to appreciate what nature could offer. Trying to shove away the teething troubles of a new semester behind myself. But at the distance of a neck's-stretch I see one that's not so natural though beautiful from afar.  I saw artificial illustrious illuminations through the black greens. In the midst of it I sat and could not help but seeing it far off. Beautiful scenery with sin behind the scenes. The colours that make up a kente cloth cannot blend to form this beauty.  From where I was relaxed that evening I had no thoughts anymore o anything I hated. Amidst all these I sit. Right at the centre. Only I am not the master of the developments nor a partaker its many lures and fantasies. Sentiments
