“I have told thee all that is essential. There is neither thou, nor anything for me or for a great one; nor is there any teacher or disciple. The supreme Reality is natural and exists in Its own way. I am the nectar of Knowledge, homogeneous Existence, like the sky.”
The seeker seeking God does not exist,
is shocking news for our wayward ego,
on discovering it is a bliss mist,
shining as pristine white light, pure like snow.
Feeling limited, we wish to expand,
that a time may come when we feel complete
but the real truth we must understand,
is that as Self we mirror God’s heartbeat.
We cannot attain yet we can become,
the divine spark that births the universe,
as light that lights all lights, the cosmic hum,
dancing in dreams with no need to rehearse.
There is nothing to know, much less to do,
as breath by breath we feel bliss beats renew.
Our mission comes from God’s command
By His authority guiding us with His hand
We pray to the Saviour Who grants life eternal so grand
Along willing compliance to His demand.
Our mission draws our hearts to the Lord
By His love binding us to His redemption-cord
We reach out to those in need of divine gift He alone can afford
Along desire to proclaim the Gospel for their everlasting record.
Our mission requires us to show compassion
By Christ’s kindness provoking us into action
We rescue the perishing from hell’s damnation
Along caring deeds that speak of biblical conversion.
Our mission propels us to exercise faith’s firmness
By the Lord’s power enabling us to continue in His goodness
We warn against works of unrighteousness
Along goal to populate heaven midst Satan’s deceitfulness.
Our mission calls for our commitment
By the Scriptures driving our soulwinning engagement
We direct the spiritually blind to the truth for their enlightenment
Along diligence vanquishing slothfulness-allurement.
Our mission gears up our Great Commission endeavour
By the Almighty’s plan to do our part midst mercy’s fervour
We disciple others for them to grow in His gracious savour
Along teaching* conviction that glows around His sweet favour.
Our mission as God’s stewards brings rewards toward eternity
By His strength upholding our incapacity
We edify brethren to fulfill ministerial duty
Along shining testimony to accomplish responsibility.
*Matthew 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Dark days were foreseen
Events turned out mean
No more was I serene
As on the rim do I lean!
The cause, the loss of my pen
My favourite, gifted by my Beloved
Shall I bear with such a stand?
Existence itself seemed recurved!
Blessed thought I be to be though
When a tap I heard on my window
A little dove it was, with my pen in its beak
Delighted, I felt my heart getting weak!
Dark days turned golden
Must be the Mercy of Urizen
A little dove turned invisible
After acting as his rightful disciple!
My Beloved shall not be sad
Fate did not allow me to be bad
To write eternal verses I shall,
Of his love, care and enthrall!
" Unforseen Evolution"
Meant for something better
Wait for me.... the world is changing!
I swear l will find you and when l am on top she will say l do it good this a journey of a lifetime in a Lexus without a nexus l was King in my nightmares only to be resurrected by the Knight in my dreams this tale is of royalty.
No plan l was scratching my head , no nosh it was water boy , no toys bro , just a base ball cap and a string for faith .
On my knees l was praying each and every day l saw an angel in my mento and she whispered you are a warrior keep your head up you are almost there.
Forget about the shortcuts , cutting corners l use the long road it got me safe on my feet when l landed l took a trip to Mars and the moon winked my approval for a chance at the hightable.
A tribal chief like Roman Reigns l am a champion , two formidable cribs with a pool and a jacuzzi , a German shepherd , one cat and thirteen fast cars the last disciple being him l am talking Mustangs.
A slice of cheese , cameras shooting , history being made and l ain't never going back to empty shelves and pockets this is my moment l am basking in.
from the minute you gave your soul
into the safe keeping of Jesus Christ
you went on to lead an upstanding,
productive and blessed life
from the moment you met and married your true love,
your husband Kenneth Reid
you reaped a bountiful harvest
and built a business with God's righteous seed
the enemy came upon you shooting arrows
from every angle and in every way
yet our Father God continued to shield you
and lift you up each and every day
you fought the good fight Debra
and now you can gracefully lay down your sword
for Father God has called you up heaven
to receive your just reward
so today we salute you Debra
for being a soldier in the army of God
and your memory will live on forever
embedded within our hearts
you've been a trooper and a true disciple
until the very end
and our love for you will never die,
Debra Reid Our Sister, Our Friend
He, a seeker after Truth, set out
on an audacious journey
to see his old master
with a handful of blooms
he paused before the open door.
from deep meditation
the squatted figure, looked up.
in a trance, he saw the silhouette of a man.
on gazing intent, emerged distinct
his former disciple, left long ago
seeing his hands laden with flowers,
the master smiled a recognizing smile.
in close surveillance, the penetrating eyes
gauged him through and through.
the master’s pursed lips opened ajar.
from him, arose a single word-
‘’ Drop”
gentle but firm was its timbre.
he dropped the flowers, one by one.
in sterner voice, the master said,
‘’ Drop”
all at once, he let the remaining blooms
go off his clasp
and down they fell around his feet.
folding empty hands, he stood,
waiting for the master’s behest
after an eerie silence,
once more came the hefty command--
‘’ Drop”
stupified, the disciple queried-
‘’ what more should I drop? “
eyes emitted sparks!
‘’ not the flowers, but your ego”-
instant was his reply.
a spear stuck deep into his self.
as by a whirl wind, his body tottered.
he felt a deep twirl inside.
unfastening the hinges
of the imperious shutters,
a boulder rolled down,
dropping to the ground with a thud.
back home, the disciple gleefully walked,
the clogged fog clearing from his head
ego shorn, here now reborn
in a state of divine transcendence
feeling as weightless as a feather

Lift your celestial gaze to be amazed in Wonder
As has Ptolemy, then Copernicus and Kepler after
Who are the capricious Gods who dance in wander
To revere Mercury? Venus? Mars? Saturn? Jupiter?
Ptolemy imagined a play staged at his own residence
There the Gods heaved upon us all their vain existence
Trapped by Humanity's Ego, blind to exposed evidence
His glowing Hearth lifting higher embers of negligence
Copernicus heralded the inspirational spark of sacred denial
Orbits dared to be spun into the ire wrath of Church reprisal
Hush your Truth. Mankind cannot, will not be the Sun's disciple
Calculations implore? Observations explore? ASTRONOMICAL!!!
Kepler awoke to his divine intervention lifting the veil of Dogma
He questioned atop ashes of descent burned without anesthesia
A revolution uproar of Ellipses stretching in variable speed inertia
The Gravity of his Truth pulling inextricably at undisputable raw data
The moral of this recounting is to shun the fantasies touted by Elves
Be wise. Be curious. Gather the courage to see Truth for yourselves
why do Christians give thanks to the Lord Our God?
It's because we feel the need to reciprocate on our part
as Christians many think that we consider ourselves as being better
but all we're trying to do is follow God's commands to the letter
so what is it about Christians? are we that different than most?
what is it about Christians? do you think it's the Holy Ghost?
so why do Christians give thanks and what do they hope to gain?
we give thanks to Jesus the Christ so His death won't be in vain
not everyone who's in the church is there for the right reasons
some so-called Christians only attend church during the summer season
but a true Christian soldier, a true disciple of Christ
attends church to praise, to worship and give honor for His life
we give thanks in gratitude for His death on the cross
It was the supreme sacrifice so our souls would not be lost
yet some people attend church with their own agendas
and it's not about sacrifice nor is it about surrender
for Godly gratitude isn't about the superficial things in life
It's about giving thanks for His blood sacrifice
I thank God for Jesus who died for my sins
I thank God for Jesus, my Savior, my Brother, my Friend
He was the greatest gift given to me as a guarantee for my salvation
the most perfect present I've ever received and I show my appreciation
I thank Him for His love which is not dependent on my worth
I thank Him for His grace which is sufficient here on earth
so why do Christians give thanks to the one called Jesus the Christ?
I know I give Him thanks for being the Redeemer of my life
unblemished, pure, holy, just and upright
the Prince of Peace, the Salt of the Earth, the Son, the Sacrifice
His blood that was shedded on Mount Calvary
paid the price for any sin that was inside of me
now cleansed of all unrighteousness, I've been washed from inside out
and that's why Christians give thanks without question, without doubt
January 2 Scripture Meditations Based on Genesis 4-5
Key Verse - Genesis 5:24 And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.
MY GOD, THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME WALK WITH YOU
Thank You, my God, for letting me walk with You by Your empowerment
As You gear me toward fruitful Christianity with my faith’s enlightenment
Surely enabling me to win souls and bring them to Your salvation settlement
While I cooperate willingly in Gospel sharing involvement.
Thank You, my God, for letting me walk with You by Your grace
As You uphold me toward the Great Commission midst prayer-brace
Surely encouraging me to serve You with sincere exultant praise
While I persist along my designated ministry-track race.
Thank You, my God, for letting me walk with You by Your authority
As You propel me toward Your direction of Bible studies’ effectuality
Surely illumining me to learn from Your truths for rich spirituality
While I apply principles of stewardship’s productivity.
Thank You, my God, for letting me walk with You by Your instruction
As You straighten me toward Your standard of character-transformation
Surely exhorting me to disciple others with Your scriptural education
While I present Christ-like example through my dedication.
Thank You, my God, for letting me walk with You by Your mercy
As You invite me toward Your presence of sweet fellowship’s consistency
Surely nurturing me to delight in Your nourishing clemency
While I beseech You for constant revival’s fervency.
Thank You, my God, for letting me walk with You by Your command
As You pull me toward Your deliverance of eternal life’s assured stand
Surely enjoining me to proclaim Your love and peace, joyously grand
While I rescue sinners from guilt-penalty’s tormenting demand.
Thank You, my God, for letting me walk with by Your glory
As You drive me toward Your sacrifice of blessed kindness at Calvary
Surely energizing me to follow Your leadership along declared victory
While I testify of Your sovereign control in my miracle-story.

the stones will tell the story of their journey into the Promised Land
the children of Israel with the Ark of the Covenant at Gigal they came to stand
they had crossed over the Jordan River when the river bed by God was made dry
and the Lord told them to tell all the children if they should ever ask why?
God is at work in our lives, He has a master plan
He's prepared us for that which for us He has in His hands
our lives have been redeemed by His unlimited mercy and grace
as He's the God of the whole universe of all air, land, sea and space
we've been fashioned in His image and the likeness of His Son Our Holy Lord
and when we accept and acknowledge Him our lives become more in accord
as all things work together for the good of those who love Christ
no matter the trials nor the tribulations that you experience in this life
when our children ask why we worship and honor the Lord God
the words out of our mouths should be from the depths of our hearts
tell them that once they understand the purpose that for them God has ordained
they'll be more equipped to handle life's frustrations, upsets and pain
let them know no matter what in life they are going through
the joy of the Lord comes each morning and He will always be with you
trust in God to open doors and let His Holy Spirit guide you along
believe in His word, follow His commands and you will never go wrong
by exposing the core of your being, your soul and becoming a vessel that God can use
now as a true disciple and servant of Christ you can never lose
so reverence God, respect God and hold Him in the highest regards
and when our children ask why tell your testimony from the heart
that God is omnipotent, there is nothing He cannot do
He parted the Red Sea and the Jordan River so His people could pass through
so when our children ask why, why we glorify the Lord God?
we can tell them about all the wonderful things and the miracles He imparts
