Deaconess Poems | Examples


The Gossiper

The old deacon is a gossiper 
He's like an old woman 
Though he's an avid worshipper 
He does not count as one

Deaconess is his old wife 
But like him, she's like an old toad 
For, what they do is to mine other's life 
Like they don't have their own load

Premium Member What If

I laid my back on the soft sofa bed
To draw myself out from stress and sadness
But inklings with regrets whirled in my head.

Was dreaming to become a deaconess
For a full-time worker in God’s service
What if I’d pursued, workloads bring lightness?

Less kids at Sunday schools, I’m more at ease
No lesson plans… just teach bible verses
Play the hymns on church organs without cease.

What if I’d become one of the nurses
Taking care of patient and not grader
Lots of patience, but no hugs and kisses?

What if I would be a teacher forever
Rejuvenation comes once in a while
To play with kids as friend, sis and mother?

As my thoughts swirled, I gave myself a smile
I laid my back on the soft sofa bed
Rejuvenation comes once in a while
But inklings with regrets whirled in my head.

Nigerian Preachers and Scary Sermons

Till tomorrow a nasty style
Nigerians stretch a bold mile:
Sermons which begin with obituary 
And proceed to The Mortuary…
 
The Waiting Choice of Deaconess Emmanuela 
Seeking and discovering The Best Umbrella 
For mandating sinners’ fastest repentance 
Of deeds that might no more clinch penance. 

Also, of Pastor Prince at war with Theological Schools, 
Because break a preacher could one or two rules… 

I simply pray Prince won’t this try in London 
For a Whole Assembly shall him abandon: 
Spiritual messages of the scary;
Tales Gospel – like but still fairy.

I Say Yes, Jesus Said No

Hello Church Family
There is something I want you to know
When I was saying yes, Jesus said no
When the Doctor says, "There is nothing I can do for you"
I was devastated and felt deep down in my soul
I still say yes, but Jesus said no
All who knows that I truly love singing for the Lord
Today was a special day, Church Anniversary, Deaconess Sunday
To be led by me for devotions, however,
I say yes, Jesus said no.
Sometimes God has a reason, a season for all of us
To go through the valley
No matter what day or what we say, stand still
Be obedient, He's in control
I can't say yes, when Jesus says no.

I’M A NONE DENOMINATIONIST I DON’T WORSHIP CHURCH, TITLE, NAME NOR TOPIC          
TO ALL THOSE MISSED LEADING PASTORS, PREACHERS, DEACONS, AND DEACONESS 
CHECK YOUR CIRCUIT, BECAUSE THE CURRENT THAT IS FLOWING IS COMING FROM 
THE WRONG SOCKET
YOUR ANALYSIS IS TOTALLY WRONG FROM THE MAIN IDEA OF THE BIBLICAL TOPIC

I’M A NONE DENOMINATIONIST I DON’T WORSHIP CHURCH, TITLE, NAME NOR TOPIC          
LOVE AND PEACE IS TO BE SPREAD NOT JEALOUSY, HATRED, AND JACKET
BROTHERS AND SISTERS, BE CAREFUL OF THAT WHICH YOU WORSHIP BECAUSE THE 
DEVIL IS THE MASTER OF ALL KINDS OF TRICKS
HE KNOWS YOUR WEAKNESSES,
REMEMBER, HIM ALREADY ANALYZE IT 

I’M A NONE DENOMINATIONIST I DON’T WORSHIP CHURCH, TITLE, NAME NOR TOPIC          
LOVE FROM THE HEART 
NOT FROM THE MIND
RESPECT GOES OUT TO ALL
LOVE AND PEACE TO ALL THOSE WHO HATE AND USED YOU 
BECAUSE SPECIAL GIFTS AWAITS YOU

I’M A NONE DENOMINATIONIST I DON’T WORSHIP CHURCH, TITLE, NAME NOR TOPIC
