Odu Mkwute Poem
Christian lose not heart,
For that is the loss of every thing,
For he has not promised,
The tempest to prevent,
Neither affliction to forestall,
Nor travail to avert;
But
Keep preciously your heart,
Amidst life's stream and,
Maintain an undefeated front,
In the face of life's difficulties,
For the promise to you is that,
You shall not be overcome,
Then
Gird your heart with faith,
And keep your heavens or,
You soon lose your earth,
Remember that the Lord thinks
On you always, preparing ahead;
For you long before you awake.

Odu Mkwute Poem
Today's man,
Drinks liquor
as fish water,
Has vile language
enough to peel
wallpapers
off a wall;
And the moral of
a stray alley cat,
The man adoring
man.

Odu Mkwute Poem
When your most cherished object is removed ,
And your life's light seems to go out,
When disappointments dodge your steps,
And your schemes fail through;
Remember the word that says,
My peace I give to you,
not as the world gives
that your joy may be full.
When your labours bring in no reward,
Learn to bow your head to say,
Your love is better than wine,
Don't stop short of this blessed experience.
Remember.....................
The Holy Spirit, the true wine of life;
Drops into your heart these words,
From God's very throne of grace,
And distills an infinite peace.
REmember.....................

Odu Mkwute Poem
Count it all joy,
Counting is not sentimental,
But cold unerring calculation,
As we press on,
we count the dangers,
oppositions, discouragement, sorrows,
depressions, temptations, desertions,
with difficulties on every side.
Summing up the bits,
we are enveloped in God's,
abiding presence, peace, happiness,
depth in knowing Him, maturity,
glory,and becoming like Him.
Adding up the sum,
we see God's promises,
are unfailing and His will,
is being fulfilled with rewards,
and recompense awaits the disciple.
Then
the total sum is,
all joy with unspeakable glory.
Since the present sufferings,
cannot at all be compared with,
the glory to be revealed in us,
who believe.

Odu Mkwute Poem
O come, let us worship the Lord;
Kneeling down before him,
Let us bow down in worship,
For he is our maker and God.
Worship Him all you His people,
The sheep of His hand,
Let us listen to His voice,
And do His bidding to us.
O worship the Lord,
In the beauty of holiness.
Let us fear before Him,
All you the whole,earth.
Worship Him all you gods,
Exalt the Lord our God,
Worship at His footstool,
For He alone is Holy.

Odu Mkwute Poem
Four in one, nine baptized,
I hear you say legalized fraudulence.
Promises air-conditioned highways and streets;
Salaries and wages without workings,
An easy life made sweet and comfortable.
Now, all can join the bandwagon of rigging,
Of Moonslide and Marsslide victories,
With babies and peoples ritually sacrificed.
Received with glee by their lord,
The god of Politricks.

Odu Mkwute Poem
Shoot me as your arrow, O Lord;
Disannulling my aimlessness,
And the resulting heat,
In my spiritual day.
The entrance of a friend,
At times transforms my soul,
From languor into light,
But Lord it is you I long for.
You are the true light of life,
Focus your living light to my mind,
And to my path shine profoundly,
Banishing the fatigue of my life,.
Into the very recesses of my mind.
Enter, possess and stimulate;
Vanquishing all its encumbrances,
The weariness laid on my mind.

Odu Mkwute Poem
Love
without fear,
guile and deceit.
But
compassion exuding,
founded in sincerity,
Is
desired love,
I longingly cherish.
Love's
strength stands,
In love's sacrifice.
And
love's action,
truly manifests her.
