  This poem is dedicated to all who were born, have died and are living  in November. THOU ART NOVEMBER! 🕚 Thou art November,  The penultimate month of the year. For on the annual earth's annual clock, Thou art the eleventh hour. Thou bringeth hope when she is gone; Thou imparteth strength when we can't go on. Children love to play wild in thy weather calm; Couples in love lark openly in thy friendly arms; The birds of the air twitter in harmonious chorale,  For the aura of thy delightful season is that of  Calmness and warmth and enduring pleasantness. Thou art November, but known differently In the asssorted tongues of men the world over. Some calleth thee Novembre, Nufimbir, Shiyiyue. To others thou art known as Obubuo, Alemle, And still to others, Nuwamba, Adeemekporxe! Thou sitteth majestically like a comely noble prince,  Between those two that serve as thy faithful attendants: October on your left and December as thy right-hand man. And after a successful consultation w

Our cars are just parked there, no where to go to. The private jets are lying in waste, air spaces are all shut, every country nursing its citizens and fighting an unseen tiny enemy. Each man is confined to a room in those big mansions and the designers; clothes, bags, shoes, perfumes and make-up kits have all become useless and serving no purpose. No more urgent appointments and business meetings that deprive us of time with God and family. No parties to attend and hangouts to meet up with friends, no more convoys and sirens, even the money stocked away in the accounts and soakaways are useless...  Even our expansive and expensive church auditoriums are empty, it is now each man with his God in truth and in spirit. All we need today is food and air to breathe, we just want to be alive. Nothing else is really important. This world has never seen vanity as it is today! Good news is; we all have one more chance to introspect, to reflect and ask yourself why does God nee

There were some lines of text we saw in the New Testament Gideons Bible during childhood days. Though they were not readily understandable, they are now clearer than ever before. Those words strongly echo the fact that the Bible is indeed the infallible word of God. Below is the text from the NT Gideons Bible which many people might be familiar with. These words might be well-known to us already, but have some time to ponder them critically. Enjoy. The Bible contains the mind of God, the state of man, the way of salvation, the doom of sinners, and the happiness of believers. Its doctrines are holy, its precepts are binding, its histories are true, and its decisions are immutable. Read it to be wise, believe it to be safe, and practice it to be holy. It contains light to direct you, food to support you, and comfort to cheer you. It is the traveler’s map, the pilgrim’s staff, the pilot’s compass, the soldier’s sword and the Christian’s charter. Here too, Heaven is opened a

I remember back in secondary school days when we sang 'Ancients Words' during morning assembly. I loved the song so much but could hardly sing along and just lip-synced because I was not acquainted with the lyrics. The song reminds us of God's written word that has survived elimination and still lives on to change the lives of those who cling to it. If you have been in such situation or still are, here are the exact words in the inspiring and powerful song by Michael W. Smith, Ancients Words . Enjoy! Verse 1 Holy words long preserved For our walk in this world, They resound with God's own heart Oh, let the Ancient words impart. Verse 2 Words of Life, words of Hope Give us strength, help us cope In this world, where e'er we roam Ancient words will guide us Home. Chorus Ancient words ever true Changing me, and changing you. We have come with open hearts Oh let the ancient words impart. Verse 3 Holy words of our Faith Handed down to this ag
