Love bled for me (1)

It was time, he knew. What could stop the inevitable?  Just a desire but that wasn't strong enough.

The faces who loved him grew cold, it wasn't intentional, but for a purpose.

The ones who hated him rejoiced for what they were about to do

The first hit laid the first stone of many that were still to come, could there be a plot twist?

Well, there was none.

The charges were brought, he was pronounced guilty

I could never bear someone lying against me, but he did, and he deserved none of it

They started to strike him before the journey, what a strength.

He took up the cross and walked, walked and walked, my Saviour was tired to the extent that he allowed Simon to lend a hand

He felt what any human would feel

He was pierced and nailed to a cross. What an excruciating pain

Nonetheless, he told God to forgive me and that was because he thought of me throughout that day

He knew it was for me, he had nothing to gain but eternal life for me

He gave up the ghost and the world went dark.

A familiar feeling (2)

... After 6 months I almost got caught again, I knew I couldn't escape what was coming at me next, I barely escaped from the police officers, I was running out of luck, what if my life had ended with a gunshot on the streets, would that be all? I cried so much that night in my room, I had moved out from my friend's place and rented a room, I had stolen enough to cater for the rent. I cried so much with no one to disturb me, I came to a harsh realization that I couldn't live like this any longer. A crazy idea found its way to my mind, your parents will take you back if you try I didn't know where that came from but I started to think it through. How would they take me back without any hesitation or disappointment? I thought about it for two days before I made up my mind to give it a try "It won't kill me to try" I said to myself. The next day, I boarded a motorcycle to Agege, where our house was situated, I wore a black gown, I tried to look as miserable a

My identity(poem)

When the stars come out, I remember God's promise to Abraham When I see tap water gushing out, I also remember the rivers of living water that flows out of me When I see a bride's veil, I remember how there's no more veil separating me from Jesus When I hear rain sounds, it makes me remember the storm Jesus conquered And I know in this I would also find peace My reality found in Christ is worth more than gold The promises He made to me spirit and life So much to treasure Worth more than gold

"What saved me"(part 3)

 After dinner, we stayed in the parlor and talked about school life, we talked for over 3 hours, during that period, we talked about what the future would hold for each of us and he said something that never left me.  "I might be perplexed on every side but never crushed". It sounded so strange but nice, I wondered if Shakespeare had a new book I never heard about. I asked him what he meant by that "Oh, it's just a boast I make in Christ" he laughed "Why and how do you do that?" "I have the authority too, I make boasts in Christ Jesus. "Wait, for what I was confused. "How would you boast in someone you are supposed to be afraid of, Kunle?" "We are not supposed to be scared but be joyous always because God is not out to get us but has shown us his lavish grace" "And how does he show his 'lavish grace?" I shot back "His grace is lavish, chill, I'll show you but his primary way was sending his son to di
