Spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ

Silky Threads – Edwin Mamman

Heaven is not a wish granting factory. God,Is not a genie in a bottle granting 3 wishes.Your prayers are not just scented smokeBlown by the wind and lost on their course.They are invisible threads woven by angelsInto balls of precious yarn, presented to God,For His wonderful delight.And He untangles them, thread by thread.Spins them into…

Divine Grace – Akuei M. Adol

In a world where shadows are harsh,a glimmer of light emerges from the dark-ness.With love as its compass,grace will walk by your side,guiding your soul to a celestial haven. Witness! I was a lost and desolate soul,entangled in doubt and consumed by terror.But grace intervened, showering me with compassion. My heart was battered and torn,dwelling…

Your mercy lord

Your Mercy Lord – Shadrech Mhone

I kneel before you, Yahweh,With a heavy heart and tears,I confess my faults and failings,And the pain I’ve caused over the years. I long for your forgiveness,To be free from guilt and shame,To walk in your light and love,And never again to be the same. I promise to turn away from sin, Lord.To live a…

Relief

Relief – Benny Wanjohi

Perplexed by my inabilityTo do that which honours,Anxious about my credibilityFor,My struggle is real –My flesh, a big deal,Unto whom shall I appeal? Posture of my heart wantingFailing on that which honoursThoughts on my mind ruiningFor,My struggle is real –My flesh, a big deal,Unto whom shall I appeal? A holy God, who shall approach?A contrite…

Love – Akpan Emem Jacob

Torn between the lies and frustration of this worldI soaked in sin and deathMy eyes were blinded by the tears and darkness of the earthand I couldn’t see the love you offered me. Roaming the streets of sin and reproachI made there my place of residence.You loved me from a distance,when I had no idea…

Divine Love

Divine Love, Endless Embrace – Paul Shunom

If love was all I got, I’d count it all as gain,A treasure more precious than silver or fame.In its warm embrace, my heart would surely soar,With love as my guide, I’d ask for nothing moreIn its might I’ll conquer every snap of fear. If love was all I got, I’d find strength in its…

Exalt, O Morbid Seed of Adam – John Owen

Exalt, O morbid seed of Adam’s race,Enslaved by sin’s pervasive, damning plight,Within thy soul, concupiscence takes flight,And in thy veins, corruption finds its place.But hark! Salvation’s plan, divine embrace,Unveils a love profound, in death’s despite,For God, in mercy, sends His holy Light,To bear thy sin and offer saving grace. Behold the cross, where Jesus gave…

Beauty of God's Love

The Beauty of God’s Love – Tatah Allen Laika

The storm rattles the roots of our designs.Like Peter, on bended knees, we look to HimWho slumbers through the angry storm. In our zest to be one with God,Our daily wounds drag down our pace,The fog of pains blankets our sight,we become unsighted— like BartimeusBut the walls of the world can’t block our cries;Our fates…

I'm Possible

I’m Possible – Courage Ogbeide

Ride the waves of my doubtsand sift my thoughts from unbelief;for I am drunk, from a gulf of self,neglecting the presence of I AM. The possibilities of little things–tangible as my biggest dreams,so I yearn to increase.Combust my heart in the furnaceof your words unfailing,words that can never return void. Fasten mine eyes on thee,…

I Refuse to Let This Grief Win – Faith Simbizo

Tears on your bathroom floor,Sometimes faith looks like grief,Surgical blades piercing your body,Sometimes faith looks like fear. Sometimes faith looks like grief,For we resemble the accelerationof the sands in the hourglass,Sometimes faith looks like fear,Like a man sailing tideswith Jesus believing he could drown, For we resemble the accelerationof the sands in the hourglass,And aren’t…
