Creative young minds

In this journey of purpose discovery, there are lots of things we need to do There are lots of mistakes we will make, and lots of lessons to learn from them There are lots of questions we need to ask and lots of  decisions we need to take, There may be some bridges we need to burn, and some people we need to cut off There are times we need to yield to the fact that we can't do it all alone, and accept that some things are beyond our control But most importantly, there are times we need to close our door to the outside world and commune with our God

It's December again, and nothing has change One more year came and now it's gone yet things still remains the same My hopes and dreams were turned into nightmares When I tried moving forward regret calls me back to see the mistakes I have made I didn't plan for it to end this way, the thought of things I never push myself to do are now keeping me awake So I stay up most night, and sometimes I can catch glimpses of myself fading away, There it goes, I can still hear the whispers from the road I never traveled, it says now you will never know And now it's December again, and things are still the same, one more year came and now it's gone, still nothing has change

Not everything is meant to be seen, sometime we go too deep we want to know everything forgetting the fact that curiosity kill Yes we came, then we saw but conquest came with a price, an insatiable lust for more Scratching the surface wasn't enough we crumble the whole wall and it is now crashing down on us Planting our footprints on the moon wasn't enough we want the sun even when we know that  we will get burnt With all our knowledge and intellect we failed to grasp the concept of contentment We feel our fair share is not enough so we took it all, things that doesn't belong to us Greed is in our nature, we can no longer stop, so we push on, stretching our limits and testing our breaking point We are blinded by our desire, like the men of old we are building Babel but this tower is in our heart We do not see the vanity that awaits us, so we blindly build a weapon that will destroy us Now that we are still standing we refuse to take heed, our ear is not op

Someone said Christmas and I could almost hear the sound of the Harmattan wind. I could feel the dry air as it hit my skin, O what wonderful memories this season brings I paused, lost in thought I could see the children in their beautiful Christmas wears, I smiled as I watched them laugh and cheer It's Christmas again, that time of the year that is filled with excitement and joy There is a feeling in the air, a feeling of love a feeling of thankfulness as our Faraway brethren returns home Christmas bring to mind the prophecy of baby Jesus, the one whose birth will change the world He did came to save us all, O what a season to relive the glorious wonder of his touch

Here I am sitting in a lecture theatre, the smell of clothes soaked in sweat fills the air Outside the window the boy beside the POS terminal is pressing his phone The word that comes to mind as I sit and stare is Journey This is where I am now, but is it where am meant to be? Here I am in this crowded hall where everyone is busy and kind of in their own separate world The noise here is drowning but my mind is elsewhere Destination, when will I arrive? I tried to close my eyes  and imagine all the things that are outside my reach  and with this invincible hands I claim what is mine

The commandment I Neglected The stories I didn't tell are all coming back to me. How I wish I could hit reset, maybe then I might just do things well or Differently I guess The commandment I Neglected The neighbors I refuse to help are all screaming and I could hear their cries all the way from hell These ones are now beyond my help and their blood is in my hands The commandment I Neglected What about the ones I killed with my tongue? This ones did me no wrong, I do take pleasure in the use of my words, I can't help it if they but destroys The commandment I Neglected Now am filled with regrets and my eyes are swollen with tears am afraid of what comes next and I fear that it might be too late to repent

A great philosopher once said, "Man know thyself" you can be deceptive to others but you cannot decieve yourself You know your true identity, you know the kind of things you engage in behind close doors, You know when your heart is pure, you know your flaws Irrespective of who you are or the kind of life you live, there comes a time when you will have to decide on the type of person you want to become It happens, you wake up one morning and it's like your whole being is telling you to change, Your conscience is pricking you from the inside, and letting you know that you can become a better version of yourself You may try to shake off the feeling, but the more you try the more resilient it get, it bothers you, it keeps you up at night, that is Jesus, the master of the universe, He is the one knocking at your door, He so love you and he wants to get close to you, all you have to do is just let him in. He will take you on the best journey of your life, he will

The devil is aiming for my soul he is looking for ways to sink me low He whispers to me in the dead of night that he will not let me go sometime I feel his claws deep within me and I can feel my body going cold I feel like I am carrying such a heavy load Am in between places and the path before me is unclear the only thing am sure of is that I can't stay here Am standing on a quick sand that will sink me all the way down to hell, so now I have to make a choice, the thought of choice brings about a sense of relief and a feeling that I can be helped, but by who? Who will rescue me from this hell? in that moment a voice told me to lift up my head And when I did, I saw Him, the one that breaks every bond of sin, the lion of the tribe of Judah, the man that can walk on water and in that moment I knew I was free! Hallelujah

Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is grown He will keep to your code Be a source of warmth to someone when he is cold Your hands should be a helping hand that the poor can hold Don't allow you neighbours to be sad when you can lighten their moods with your jokes People can be frustrating at times, even then you shouldn't provoke Do the work of today and never you postpone Learn to be patient while you slowly build and mold By now you should now that Christ is the perfect example to follow When storm comes He is the only one that can row your boat Only His anchor will hold And when you are lost, just call on Him He will show you the road He will guide you, so that you can successfully accomplish your purpose And when you are done, and it's time to go, He will take you Home,  And you will reside with him in His humble abode. Amen!

A wise man once said those who said it cannot be done should not disturb the ones that are doing it, but they will never stop disturbing! People in their attempt to dissuade you will tell you don't go there! That place is a dessert place, you will make a mess of yourself or die of thirst, ignore them. The dessert may be hot, dry and barren, but you can still find your oasis. One sad truth is that most times your family and friends will not be there for you, they may not even share your dreams or ambitions The only person that can cheer you on in times like this is you, You just have to look deep within yourself and see that the answer you are looking for are sitting right there You need to look deep into the mirror and tell the person that is looking back at you that he can make it, whatever he desire he can get, all he has to do is act Now drop that mirror and go out there and soar like the eagle that I know that you are, the sky is your starting point.

If heaven was a mile away i would have packed my bag and leave this world, If heaven was a mile away, I'd run as fast as my feet will carry me and I swear nothing will make me stay. living in this world is like a nightmare, the streets are no longer safe If heaven was a mile away, I will do all I can to be among the few that will line up at it's gate I know that I won't have to wait long because God's name is printed on my DNA  and He knows I have been running the Christian race, I try to help those I meet along the way, even with all my burdens and travail I will still press on
