The Unleashed Truth

Sometimes in Life, good things happen to us and we just have to rejoice, celebrate, have fun and do everything we possibly can to feel good about ourselves coz we’ve achieved something.

I had reason to be happy yesterday coz what happened to me was a miracle, but behind the celebration and happiness.
Sadness was lurking.
The good was like a forerunner for the bad because the bad only manifested itself after the miracle. Now I can only hope for another miracle to get out of the mud.

Just when i thought everything was ok, just when I felt fulfilled, Darkness showed its ugly face.
I’m still happy though, but I cannot help worrying about the next step I have to take to make my Life less stressful.
This is something I have fought to get for many years, now that I have it, it opened a door to problems for me.

Doom was just behind the curtain. It doesn’t seem like I have a lot of choices but I’ll hold on and believe God for another Miracle and probably fight to see the impossible become possible.

Peace.

Like a dove she is mild
I’ve got dues to pay
I was confused, she showed me the way. lol.
I love to rhyme.
Okay here we go (This is freestyle, i don’t think you need to study or meditate to show God appreciation. Just say it)

I really don’t know how to start thanking you
Because you know everything I’m going through
Your power makes the earth tremble
Day and night, I’m in your temple
The birds sing sweet melody of praise
The blood in my veins is evidence of your Grace
I was designed to praise your name
My Life has never been the same

You’ve given me so much to be thankful for
Through my path of destiny, you are the door
Even when i think I want more
I’ve got more than i bargained for
I have only you to thank

A thousand tongues, not enough to thank you
Your works and wonders can never be repaid
You delivered me from the lethal claws of death
I cannot but dedicate my being to you.

I’ve search for the sweetest words
The finest poetry
To express my appreciation to you,
But none can truly express my innermost feelings
My true desire to love you like you’ve loved me
I just have to tell you somehow,
that i recognise your supremacy
I’m subject to your Sovereignty.

You are more than who we think you are
You are bigger than I ever imagined
Ever Loving, ever faithful father and friend
Your works are too wonderful to be ignored

Time would never be enough to describe you
Words can never really tell of your Greatness
But the little we can express and show our Love and appreciation to you, we would
You are higher than the highest mountain,
Deeper than the deepest ocean
I do not only thank you, but I praise you.

Your mighty acts cannot go unappreciated.
You are the creator of the universe
The maker of my soul
You are GOD.

You are most richly appreciated
“Dalu Chim” (Thank you God)
All I wanna say is thank you Lord.

ok, I guess that was a little long.
I guess it just flowed like a river.

I’m not sure of the bloggers that have been tagged.
I tag Queen Ebong, Solomonsydelle and In my head and around me
Don’t break the chain

I haven’t been here in a thousand years, been too lazy to update.
Not that i don’t have what to write about, but i think procrastination has had the better part of me lately.

Still striving violently to gain admission into a college.
In Nigeria, things like this are close to impossible.
These past experiences have taught me many lessons.
I still believe i want more from life, i get that feeling that I’ve gotta be some great guy, but don’t know how to go about it.
I know i’m gonna do a lot of things, but somehow i need to be in school. Coz sitting at home idly is something you sure don’t wanna experience.

Many things have happened, as usual I’ve taken a lot of exams and I’m yet to get some results.
Things have just happened.
I really wouldn’t say that I’ve been in charge of my life coz i just live as time, space, people and the world permits, itz like my life has been blown by the wind tossing me in different directions and instead of creating an opposing force, i just let the wind take me wherever it wishes. Thatz the kind of life I’ve had lately. The life that forces me to bend when my bones ache. I really don’t have the strenght to oppose anything right now and maybe thatz why i just flow.

I’m still hoping, praying and believing that my MIRACLE (thatz a big word) is on the way.
Got no choice but to live my life, probably stay outta trouble. I try.

Love from the Oracle.

Daughters of Eve,
Beautiful, powerful yet so weak
Possessing an attractive force
Almost impossible to resist
Creatures of the feminine gender
Seeking Love with their hearts so tender
The formidable power of her eyes,
Her voice as sweet as the melody of the birds
They call to me.

Around them, you’re blessed with a kiss
Away, they’re the thing you miss
These beauties are everywhere
Shining their light upon men
Bringing Joy into saddened hearts
They’re readily available
Ever charming and wonderful
Ready to put a smile on your face
Showing affection in warm embrace

I wish I could have them all
because their presence creates a hunger for more
But its “One man, one wife”
That’s how it is in life.
So, I’ll find me a girl that’s right
With whom I can share my plight
It’s hard to find one girl in a million
She may be Nigerian, Ghanaian or Brazilian
Wherever she is,
She’s a beauty of divine nature.

Sometimes i ask myself, “Why do people commit suicide?
Why do people wanna hurt themselves?
Why do people feel there’s nothing more to enjoy in life?

There are so many “WHYs” that will be left unanswered.
Things that we can’t explain happen, misfortune strikes at will at the good and the bad.
People ask God Why. But they are fed with silence as though God is not listening or he doesn’t want to answer.
It is a question I still ask. This evening, i had reason to feel that itz not worth being good.
Since bad things will happen to you anyway, whether you’re good or bad.

I’m the kind of person that encourages people and make them believe that itz gonna be alright but right now; I feel itz not alright.

I’m nobody to tell God what to do, but I think he shouldn’t have allowed what happened to me this evening.
But i won’t ask him “Why”, i’ll just live my life and stop where it ends

I’ve had reason to worry lately because I seem to look like someone everybody I meet knows.
I think I started to notice it while I was in School (secondary), when a girl in my class said I look just like her elder brother.
I simply smiled and told her that it happens sometimes.

Then some girls came to visit my uncle while I was in his place; they said I looked like their friend in Lagos. I told them I left Lagos while I was a child and only visited

A woman almost sent me to someone because she thought I was related to him.

While going for my cousin’s traditional marriage ceremony, the bus we boarded developed a fault, so we had to stop at Abia to fix it.
There was this guy at the Mechanic shop that people said I looked like.
I looked at him and actually noticed a resemblance.

And just today when I left the house, a guy asked me in Ibo
“Are you Ghana’s brother?” I guess he has a friend he calls “Ghana”
I told him I don’t have a brother.

Now this resemblance stuff is beginning to worry me because someday I may look like an armed robber or someone that has done something terrible somewhere.

I’m just myself and I don’t wanna look like anybody.
Has anyone ever had this experience or is it just I?

Far beyond the clouds of the sky
Deep beneath the ocean
In a land where fantasies become reality
The sacred place we go
when we’re asleep
The experience might be exhilarating
It may also be terrible

When we’re silently at sleep’s peace
we travel far, to another world
called DREAMLAND

The School Boy:
“Lord, I thank you for making me wake up this morning.
I thank you for my mummy and Daddy
I pray that everything will go well for me at school
Bless my family and all my friends in Jesus Name”
The Businessman:
“Father I thank you for another business day
Lord I pray that you bless my business today and that you send customers from the North, south, west and east today.
Bless my family In Jesus Name”.
The Preacher:
“Father I bless you for another beautiful day.
You said in your word that the Just shall live by faith
You also said that the fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. I come to thee Lord this morning with Appreciation.
Thank you for my Ministry and how you’ve increased I ask that you do more. help me to grow from Grace to Grace”.
The Hustler:
Baba God, I dey thank you as you make me see another morning.
“As i don wake today, abeg make you provide daily bread for me and my guys. Thank you Papa for everything”.
The Doctor:
“Lord I bless your name for another day at the hospital, thank you for the success you gave me in the last operation, I ask that you grant me the grace to help people overcome their illnesses.
I also ask that you diagnose every spiritual Illness in my Life.
Help me to prosper in my profession”.

The list is endless; we have all kinds of people doing all kinds of things that pray everyday for God’s Guidance, protection and everything they need.
But there is something similar about the prayers they all made.
They only prayed for themselves and people that are related or close to them.

It is not a crime for people to pray for themselves, but it may not be enough to pray and ask for things that will be beneficial to us only.
We need to pray for the people we don’t know the people that face difficulties in life.
People in Jail, People in the hospitals, people who suffer on the streets, people that have lost hope in Life
We need to look beyond what our eyes can see.
When last did we pray for our beloved country?
We need to pray for as many people as we can.
Someone might get a long awaited miracle because we helped in asking God to grant the person’s heart’s desires.
Let us pray and pray well.

What if i was a siamese twin?
My mother would probably ask God “Why”
What if i died at birth?
That will make my family cry
What if i was born a girl
Guess i’ll understand my sister’s feelings
What if I was a street kid
I would learn to appreciate the comfort of the home
What if i never went to school?
Maybe i wouldn’t have dreams for the future.
What if i was a Criminal
I’d probably bring shame to my family
What if i was a handicap
I’d probably end up a beggar in the streets
What if i never knew God
Maybe i’d die a sinner
What if i never had siblings
I’d be called “an only child”
What if I was sick in bed
Maybe I’d kiss the world goodbye
What if I couldn’t say “Good Night”
Maybe I’m suffering from Insomnia
What if i can’t wake up in the morning
Maybe i had a cold heart
What if I can’t say “Thank you Lord”
Maybe I’m an ungrateful servant
What if the Lord comes to take his children home
Maybe I’ll make it heaven

Just got back from a journey this evening, it was a hitch free ride. I’m glad i got back home safely.
I’m dead tired and i need a lot of rest.
I hope to open my eyes with the crowing of the cock, the breaking of the dawn. With a big THANK YOU LORD for being alive in a brand new day.

My word for today is “No matter what you do, make sure you’re moving”.
