August 30 Praises to God Bible Meditations Based on Ezekiel 5-8
Key Verse – Ezekiel 5:13 Thus shall mine anger be accomplished, and I will cause my fury to rest upon them, and I will be comforted: and they shall know that I the LORD have spoken it in my zeal, when I have accomplished my fury in them.
PRAISE BE TO GOD FOR MAKING US
KNOW THAT HE IS THE LORD
Praise be to God for making us know that HE is the Lord
Who accomplishes His fury against our:
Wickedness while walking against His ways
Worthlessness while wasting His wisdom
Wantonness while wavering in His will
Weakness while wandering from His watchfulness
Waywardness while wishing beyond His Word
Ezekiel 6:10 Praise be to the Almighty for
not saying in vain:
Assertions against His attributes
Affirmations against His attitudes
Assurance against His authority
Approval against His agenda
Admonitions against His accolades
Acknowledgment against His abilities
Appreciation against His appraisal
Ezekiel 7:9 Praise be to the Lord for smiting our:
Pride flawed with foolishness
Perversion faking His promises
Promiscuity fixed on falsity
Practices framed by preferences
Proofs that flatter our personality
Ezekiel 8:18 Praise be to the Saviour for
warning us with His dealing in fury to:
Guard us from abominations
Guide us against arrogance
Gird us to get away from apprehensions
Govern us to glow despite anxieties
Grant us His grace in our adoration. Amen!

Today, loafing on the porch I reminisced about yesteryears,
Recalling Mom's admonitions still ringing in my ears!
As a feckless youth I let them go in one ear and out the other,
Alas, paying little heed to my long-suffering Mother!
"Stop slamming the screen door! You're letting the flies in!"
"I'll box your ears if you pull that silly stunt again!"
"Get that dog outta here! Can't you see he's full of fleas!"
"No, I don't have money for that! Money doesn't grow on trees!"
"The children in China are starving - now clean your plate!"
"If you know what's good for you, you'd better be home by eight!"
"Were you born in a barn? Now please shut the door!"
"Wipe your feet! Can't you see I've just mopped the floor!"
"Bundle up good or you'll catch your death of cold!"
"Things would go better around here if you'd do what you're told!"
"You sass me again and I'll wash your mouth out with soap!"
"I don't know what's to become of you - for you I have little hope!"
"Quit jumping around! A cake's in the oven! You'll make it fall!"
"Finish your chores, young man, then you can play some ball!"
Those admonitions have stuck with me through all these years!
(Come to think of it - some have pierced my kids' delicate ears!)

"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” John 14:6 of the King James Bible
Expedition toward heavenly adventure... beyond
Xanadu pursuits marked by sublime spirituality
Propels our souls for faith-soaring endeavors
Exalting God while reaching-out to others
Despite difficulties, trials and challenges
Inspired by the Saviour Who is the way..
Transcending earthly, selfish ambition
Instructed by infallible truth precepts
Optimizing grace along mercy
Now ready to reach goal!
Expedition still on the go
Xenacious will of mine keeps on
Praying to the Lord for great victory
Empowered for service by divine grace
Desirous, determined, devoted, dedicated
Imparted with Gospel seed for new-creation bloom
Triumphant midst faithful stewardship and discipleship
Illumined by the Holy Spirit toward worshipful adoration
Openly accepting admonitions and reproofs for virtuous glow
Nurtured while nourished to become a blessing with eternity in view!

Expert skiers ought to know
That skiing ever faster
And off the beaten track just might
Precipitate disaster.
The specialists who gauge the snow
For slickness, depth and such
Put warnings out so all who ski
Stay out of danger’s clutch.
Yet more and more, those athletes
Who love risks and taking chances
Ignore all the advice and yield
To daring circumstances.
And so an avalanche occurs,
Which causes pain or death.
I wonder if regret’s expressed
In someone’s dying breath.
For admonitions only work
If they are sternly heeded.
A dab of caution is the dose
Of medicine that’s needed.
I sympathize with those who’ve lost
A loved one to the slopes;
But those who died so recklessly
Were those who knew the ropes.
(for: ’niyi osundare)
the goldness of those eyes,
like the eye of the earth –
beaming, mirrors the secret softness
hidden by the ash-like depths of our souls!
many of them, brother, so learned;
o! carrying shrines of empty superiority,
as they coaxed the lads
to believe the new deities of half-truths,
and bring sweet-smelling oblations
to each black prof who looks and speaks at us;
’niyi, my brother, you know these well!
yet, when we saw your inner complexion,
we knew it well:
we, the celebrate sons born at the niger’s banks,
you’re a prof: a black prof: a twin of us!
the preciousness of those sharp eyes,
the ever-ruminant seed of that heart
which almost marked your pen, a ruffian!
are these the ingredients
in those soup of our radical celibacy?
your presence like other presences
in our village:
spoke tranquility and hopefulness
to a village full of raw anxieties!
then you twinkled away from us
not forever, no, but for a while!
brother, while our eyes, almost in cessions,
are down-turned in supplications
to the brightest eye of the earth;
our ears in remembrance with our eyes
seeing the sacred lips gaping in admonitions:
‘whenever the muse in ferocity comes:
then strike the pen as a hunter in his primes!’
yes! when we heard this lexicon,
we knew it well:
we, the sad sons suffering at the ant-hills,
you’re a prof: a black prof: a twin of us!

Now* is the time to assert God’s truth-verity
Affirming the Lord’s love of mercy’s certainty
Especially His salvation along eternal life’s security.
Now is the time to avoid falsity and deceit
Abiding not in discouragement defeat
Vanquishing unbelief with Scriptures’ heat.
Now is the time to attend to the Lord’s warning
Heeding to divine admonitions for attitude-refining
Thus, from selfishness and pride … abstaining.
Now is the time to appreciate the Saviour’s grace
Accentuating thanksgiving for His goodness-brace
Worshipping Him sincerely, bereft of guilt’s trace.
Now is the time to apply Bible instructions
According to the Supreme Commander’s exhortations
By His wise guidance toward worthy service-directions.
*2Corinthians 6:2 …Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.

Let’s please God with our faith* while growing biblically
Showing Christ-likeness believably
Revealing scriptural wisdom boldly
Presenting eternal life blissfully
Exposing heaven beautifully.
Let’s please God with our love while proclaiming His message confidently
Sharing the Gospel and salvation plan capably
Conveying Bible truths for Christian nourishment constantly
Illustrating discipleship lessons clearly
Explaining stewardship blessings conscientiously.
Let’s please God with our joy while heralding the good news of hope dutifully
Informing the lost of His truth’s assurance determinedly
Inspiring the discouraged of the Father’s care discerningly
Persuading the proud of the Spirit’s work decisively
Warning the skeptics of imminent judgments dauntlessly.
Let’s please God with our trust while communicating for Him earnestly
Standing with sanctified posture enthusiastically
Walking according to Spirit’s direction eagerly
Influencing others through good work’s gestures emphatically
Expressing sweet fellowship with the Lord endearingly.
Let’s please God with our sacrifice while delivering His tidings of peace faithfully
Enunciating “Thus saith the Lord” counsels factually
Asserting “Fear not” admonitions firmly
Uttering “The Lord is my shepherd” favourably
Saying “Even so, come, Lord Jesus” fervently.
Let’s please God with our service while exhorting believers gloriously
Voicing out the Saviour’s compassion gladly
Sounding battle cry against sin and hell’s wrath grimly
Instructing with precepts of holy living graciously
Verbalizing the great commission gratefully.
Let’s please God with our gratitude while declaring divine promises habitually
Praising His Deity in worshipping the Trinity heartily
Exalting His name in teaching His doctrines honestly
Honouring His presence in living for Him healthily
Testifying of His awesomeness in yielding to Him humbly.
*Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

It's safe to assume that this is my only wish,
Our land will prosper in peace and flourish.
Toss your hopes and dreams into acute end,
If you accept, all will pretend to be your friend!
The origin of my growth and the source of eternity,
To reassure everyone, this is utterly a fraternity.
You're calm, friendly, and care around flowers,
Everyday potency completely rebuilds your power.
A loving father who has no weaknesses in love,
A deep hold reaction, similar to a thrashing shove.
Safety, direction, and projection are solid,
We show it as a sanction rather than a squalid.
Despite the sour days, efficient was kindness,
One to wrap you in when your mind is in hastiness.
I intended such a debate to soften the damage,
It melts when friends awareness warms the adage.
The admonitions kept my pulse steady,
It has no counterpart in all human heady.
Ignoring dread until it arrives at a later time,
I win the heed as a dutiful offspring, sublime.

oh, oft' times did I watch her in the sand
trace sweeping loops with ballerina toes
a cursive language only meant for those
with knowledge of ballet, to understand
her tiny feet were powerful, yet showed
the brutal admonitions toe shoes teach
but, rollicking in bare feet on the beach
the sand forgave, so dynamism flowed
her movements, as the tide, did ebb and flow
sand pipers dancing 'round her in a troupe
the flawless shape of every arc and loop
stead witness to the balance of her toe
now tho' I saw her dance upon the stage
enthralled within my state of dazzled awe
she didn't show the flawless grace I saw
as when she spun beside an ocean rage
performance is the showplace of the art
and I applaud the skills of that demand
yet I would rather watch her in the sand
alighting on the toe shoes of her heart.
