SLAVERY AND ETERNITY

Kidnapped and stolen from homeland Their capture was brutal and inhuman For a terrible voyage each was branded Hot coals to the skin was much dreaded Packed into hot and dark holds of slave ships Everything were they given accompanied by whips Surviving a loathsome and terrible voyage Death was an only way out of bondage Years have passed since slave trade ended Still many live in fear and some in hatred Some willfully go into worst slavery Thinking not of freedom because they move freely Unfortunately everyone is born a slave But can choose to whom he/she is enslaved Fearfully many go for evil And become slaves to the devil When oft with luxury they are blindfolded Many forget life after they are dead But unto God we are not slaves but sons Wearing crowns as bright as the sun On the day of that great morning When in beauty it shall be dawning Which gate unto you shall be open That to peace or to an oven Written by Precious Eze For Favour Bulletin

LORD, GIVE US A HEART

Like pearls cast before swines So have we thrown away our values We have given up eternal values for temporal gains The quest for possessions has possessed us Making our hearts to pant for material things We have allowed fear to replace our faith The very fear of losing our worldly fame We tend to surrender some to Him Leaving a greater part for our flesh 'I love you Lord' we'll always sing Yet our heart is far from this Our lips play its part But why has our heart gone so far God we need a heart like yours A heart that will pant after you As the deer panteth for the water brook This is when we'll be able to seek you with all our heart Lord give us a heart . . . .

THE CAPACITY OF DEXTERITY

Against all odds of hostility and difficulty I see a gravity of opportunity Yea, i don't look strong and mighty Yet i believe in the totality of my capability Killest i not lions in fifties nay sixty But productivity is my mentality It is not a matter of bread and tea Neither is it availability of property But in the dignity of my specialty I acquired not at the university Neither was it given to me as a bounty I am not trying to be haughty But quote me 'dexterity is the handwork of my confraternity with the almighty' Written by Joseph Bentem

PIECES

Broken, torn apart Shattered and battered A very true opposite of a once whole heart Like a dream Yet a reality What was once held so dear Has escaped into the thin air Why? how? for what? Endless questions Yet no answers 'The end of the road is here' Its all that rings in the head But what about this pieces? Till we throw them to the one who cares They will remain only but pieces He cares,God cares He knows how those pieces hurt Take them to the repairer Fixing is sure Those pieces can be put together again Into one fine WHOLE [This is dedicated to the broken in heart. . . Psalms 147:3] Written by Alice Asuquo

THINK OF THIS

How good is a house if its not a home How good is a tree if it bears no fruits How good is a garden if it has no flowers How good is a clock if it cant tell the time How good is are friends if they cant care and share How good are eyes if they cant be used for sight How good are ears if they cant be used for hearing How good is a nose that cant be used for breathing How good are legs if they cant be used for locomotion How good is a mirror that cant reflect images How good is a phone that cant be used for calls How good is a heart that cant pump blood How good is a book that cant be read How good is a youth without a dream and How good if your life if you are not living for Christ Remember a life without Christ is a life in crisis written by Alice Asuquo
