PREFACE
SIMPLE WORDS, GREAT MEANING, TREMENDOUS IMPACT, is a collection of little poems, prayers thoughts about God, thoughts about life and, thoughts on scriptures that have helped me as a Christian to enjoy God. Inspired from Bible scriptures and from the reading of books from imminent preachers of our time, SIMPLE WORDS, GREAT MEANING, TREMENDOUS IMPACT, will help enrich your life with a life-changing knowledge about God, life, man, that will bring wholeness to your life and would cause you to take your relationship with God to another level.
YOU WOULD NOT FIND IT JUST INSIGHTFUL,THRILLING,
CAPTIVATING, AND SOUL-TOUCHING, BUT AN ADVENTURE IN THE LORD'S PRESENCE.
CREATION AND ITS WONDERS
Although it cannot be accurately counted
nevertheless it could be considered as many
years ago, when out of an empty vast covered with
utter darkness that readily described chaos
a great undescribable Being, not just a
Being, God walked out from eternity with a
vision of a well designed world that He
would create. By the words of His mouth which
are His unequal power, He created life, heaven,
earth, astrals, seas, animals, trees, lastly, man who is powerfully and wonderfully made.
GOD
Although is a Spirit.....
Yet we can feel His presence.
Although the whole earth cannot
contain Him...Yet He dwells in
the heart of His children
Although heaven is His habitation,
Yet He’s nearer to man than his shadow
Although He’s invisible to our eyes,
Yet He could be beheld through the eyes
of our spirits Although no invented and
most sophisticated machines can ascend to Him,
Yet through simple prayer of faith we could
be ushered to His throne of grace.
I WILL PRAISE HIM
Dear Lord, what has our world
become? What should you be
praised for? Wars are ravaging
our nations World economies are
collapsing, insecurity is prevalent,
sickness are multiplying and
death-driven, natural disasters are
hitting as no other times in history
and are putting us in utter confusion,
poverty and famine are putting us in
hopelessness with no sign of a better future
for generations to come. Although our
world may seemingly be unstable and
destruction-driven, yet in Thee we find
a more sure sense of security and joy
for living. I will praise you not just
because of the seemingly good happenings
around us, but because you are God, and that
praises is the essence of our existence.
THE JESUS I KNOW
Was He a prophet like many called him?
Was He another John the baptist?
Was He Prophet Elijah? Those who
described Him like this, could have
seemingly be wrong about identifying
with Him about His true personality
characterized by His messaic mission
to earth. But their assertions only
revealed the Jesus they knew.
If they said He was a prophet, they
were right, to them Jesus was just
a sent from God. That was their
understanding. If they said He was
John the Baptist, they were right.
To them Jesus sounded a frank-talker
about moral and societal issues.
If they said He behaved like Elijah
they were right. To them Jesus was
nothing but a great miracle-worker
If they said He acted like Jeremiah,
they were right. To them Jesus was
a good orator with grand charisma.
They all had an understanding,they
all had a view, they all knew a Jesus.
But the Jesus i know although sounded
like a prophet was more than a prophet.
But the Jesus I know although sounded
like frank-talker is more than a frank –talker.
But the Jesus I know although performed
miracles is more than a miracle-worker
But the Jesus I know although sounded like
a great orator is more than an orator
He’s God grace personified for the
salvation of the sinning human race.
He’s my Savior and that of the whole world.
THE PERFECT HOME
Up there above the skies,
Up there above the firmament,
Up there above all the created
astrals; the sun, the moon, the stars,
Is a glorious dwelling made up of
emerald, pearls, sapphire, jasper,
topaz, chrysopaze, sardonyx
carnelian, amethyst, chalcedony,
beryl and pure gold, It’s called
the felicity, the heavenly city,
God’s habitation, the perfect
home for all God’s children, where
they shall atlast find the perfect rest.
POWERFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE
He said let there be light, and it was.
He said let the waters under the skies
be gathered to one place and the dry
ground surfaced. He said let there be
lights in the firmament so as to separate
the day from the night, to serve for times,
seasons, days, and years, so did the lights
appear. He said let there be aquatic
creatures in the waters, and they all appeared
He said let the land produce animals of all
genre, and they all came to existence.
But for man, He didn’t say, let there be....
Rather He summoned the trinity
For sure; God the Father,God the Son, and
God the Holy Spirit,Who all committed
themselves to creating man in their
likeness__the likeness of God ___bearing
in him,the spirit which no other created
creature possesses. That’s why we
are powerfully and wonderfully made.
I’LL BE WITH YOU ALWAYS
Although these words were far long declared,
however, this consciousness has helped people
of all generations to understand and realize
that there is a more sure Friend Who had
promised never to depart from us no matter
the pathway we take in the day like in the night.
Eventhough our physical eyes could be far away
from beholding Him, nevertheless, the consciousness of His presence sunk in our sub-conscious could make Him become real to us than any other faced reality.
