It is often the case that God encourages us with good news

It is often the case that God encourages us with good news. When we are down and depressed, dead, and lingering in the darkness, God encourages our hearts with good news. The gospel is the greatest of good-news and it is always available to the believer and unbeliever if they would believe. We often make light of this glorious remedy and often linger in our gloom longer than we ought and God often whispers to us some other good news like with an answer to prayer to lift us out of the mire. Such is the sweet love of God that even after presenting us with the greatest of news, He blesses us even more. If you are discomfort today, I beseech you tp take your grieve and misery to Him and remind yourself of the glorious news that Jesus died for you and that you are forever accepted in God's sight despite your vile and wicked sin. Blessed be his name!

I knew a sad boy

I knew a sad boy who didn't think much of himself or of anything else. He was aloof of this life and wondered why he existed at all. He could think of Hume's argument of only relying on the five senses and then he would think about Kant's thoughts that we can't really know anything of the outside world. He would sigh under the lovely blue sky that always welcomed the sun in the day. He would look around and often wondered if others saw the vanity of all things. It is a sad thing that something exists rather than nothing. It was better for nothing to have always been than something because he would not have to dwell in his vanity. 

He was very sad indeed and I counselled him many a time that God exists by necessity. He saw the good in my argument and was convinced by its logic and necessity but he could not bring himself to believe it because he had abandoned the pursuit of truth and rather loved his preference of being miserable. His case was of the man who acts according to his taste rather than what is objectively true.

A prayer for my soul

O Good God, the great and magnificent one. You are too lovely, too pure, too beautiful. You are indeed the best that there is. O I love you and that dearly. It is not enough to give up sin but one must be in the duties of righteousness. O let me love your house. Let me be constantly seeking your presence. You are indeed the amazing one and may I enjoy your glory. O teach me to rise early in the morning to praise your name. Yea to only praise you. May your words be in my heart and may it flow out of my mouth to encourage and bless humanity.

They got me looking

They got me looking  

I keep thinking about the light in the sky 

In her eyes 

Should have made a move 

Be bold 

Now me and her is a story untold 

Say what you thinking 

Life is short  

10,00 years from now 

It won’t matter 

But that’s lie 

So you better keep it Holy 

Picture me in paradise  

A million years from now 

Remembering because I didn’t waste this present life 

Gave my life to Christ 

Eternal time to enjoy is mine  

I see her 

We smiling together 

With a million others shining brighter than the stars 

10 times a billion 

So many in this eternal sunshine 

That will never end

The writings of Sunny Caane

O Sunny,

I want the absolute best for both of them - the truth is my hope is not in her to achieve that and it is not in him to provide that - my hope is in God and right now it looks like the absolute best for both of them is each other. Circumstances are what they are but my hope is in God.

I want to know the truth and enjoy the highest good

I want to know the truth and enjoy the highest good. But where can I find it? Certainly not here on earth. If not here on earth then it must be somewhere in the universe. But if it is not in the universe then it must be outside of the universe. What is the truth anyway if there is indeed a singular truth or to put it another way, who dictates truth because everything must have the truth behind it which would naturally come from the originator or the creator of it. Not as an artist who joins this material and that material together to make another thing but an artist who had no raw materials to begin with, but created everything out of nothing and thus deciding its properties and uses. Surely, it is this being that knows what the truth is or is in fact the truth. And if this being is the truth and knows the truth then it must know what the highest good is that mankind can enjoy. That highest good I want to enjoy completely and eternally. The answer did come that Jesus Christ is the truth and that He created mankind for himself and that the Godhead has called mankind into fellowship with themselves so that mankind can enjoy the highest pleasure which is to be in sweet communion with the living God.

I told her not to worry

I told her not to worry

When the stress of being alive gets overwhelming 

She can cry and I won't judge 

Cuz my eyes will be blurry.

It's kinda funny

Out of something bitter came the honey.

Don't worry about the money,

The day will come when cash can't pay for your act 

Better be righteous and die poor 

Otherwise its an eternity inside a prison door.

I wish I could trade my life for yours,

But I fear my misery and grief runs deeper than yours.

The only encore I'll adore is the one the Christ gives

So I shun the pleasing eyes of the world 

Turn my face to God whilst the world whips my back with lashes 

That was uncalled for if she was righteous like the God who made her.

K.Oni

Dear God, please help us

Dear God, please help us

The situation is dire

But nobody wants to listen.

The warning is shunned of your displeasure

Humanity is heading to its grave 

The saints are preaching but there are few faithful remaining 

The mass has drunk deep and followed the world into being deaf.

Dear God, please help

The catastrophe when it comes will be undeniable 

Holy Spirit please convict

Or lift your people out of this mess so that we can be in peace.

The writings of Sunny Caane

Dear Sunny 

It has been a while since I have sought your face. Your remarkable grace always bring a smile to my heart whenever I think of you. I have been altogether well although recently my heart was heavy with grief. Yes, heavy due to the sins of my nations and of my neighbours, it weighs me down and sleep is far from me. Each night I mourn and plead with God to change their hearts, to open their eyes to the wickedness of their ways. Even those in the same church as me think me too dramatic, too high upon the mountain that they say to me to come down and see that the road is not as crooked as I think it is. But I mourn as I see the absolute depravity of their ways in so much as I compare it to the infinite holiness of God. They do not seek him and even those at my church who claim to seek him do so flippantly. They have no reverence or courtesy! In my many prayers, God has sought fit to lift me up and to have hope and this is why my heavy grief has ceased. I pray one day that they all share my evangelical faith, yea I pray that they have it to a better degree than I currently do.

I didn't know that there was hope until I looked

I didn't know that there was hope until I looked

In His word, and found treasures I once misunderstood

I'm looking out and now I see the promised Land

I'm marching on through the valley where once I was stuck.

O I sing on my journey now

Bring the pain with all its ache and all my tears,

I'll keep marching on, keep praying on, I have hope.

Hope that He will take me to the promised Land.

Fear not ye weak and weary saints

Keep marching on, keep praying on, your strength will not fail!

The Lord calls us to love

The Lord calls us to love. And to love is to go all-in for our neighbor. We are to meet their needs wherever we can. We are to love despite our feelings. I may feel some hatred towards a person for their evil act but it shouldn't prevent me from giving them a cup of water if they are thirsty. Love is to act. God did not have mere feelings towards us - His love was rooted in his action of sending his one and only Son to save us and reconcile us back to himself. 

Who do I need to show love to today? That is a love of not mere thought but action. The hard truth is that love cost and it hurts but it is also sweet and the natural outpouring of a contented heart. Show me a person that is content in Christ and it is they who will love without expecting to be paid back. They know that their reward is in heaven and it is God who will reward them. 

K.Oni

They want to know my thoughts

They want to know my thoughts
I warned them that I wasn't born in a house of love
My thinking is all mashed, the sweet potato is on the counter
Do you dare to eat? I'm not even twenty
But I've seen too many crime scenes.
But then what is peace
Will it start when death comes to pay me a visit
She never stays, ain't got time to play because she ain't Life
Life has been my partner until death comes - I guess that's how it is
So I ain't fighting - but I'm craving for some sanity
Do spirits bleed? In the hereafter will I still be lonely
Because I can't understand humanity's greed.
They want to know my thoughts
But does it matter if in the end we all turn to dust.
I can't understand why we study the past
All it shows is our future a billion years in time.
But I believe in the man that rose from the grave.

The sin that is killing me

Dear God can you hear me

My heart is failing 

I think I'm waisting 

I couldn't taste it

My unbelief is deep within me 

Where is the grace that they saying

Will save me in my time of need

But I'm drowning 

I can't find the faith that will keep me

I'm wishing for a vision

But The prophets are liars 

Are they yours because they claim the name of your Son

The preacher can't preach 

The singers can't lead but they sing empty words

I wonder if they plead 

Or they feed and spread the seed of your words

I can't deny that there is evil in my deeds

And in the past, I've mistreated the gifts that you gave 

Especially the gift of the man in the mirror. 

Is this the consequence of all my errors

When will I be taken away from all the terrors

Cuz my heart is in a place that they call a jail

Will your Spirit pay the bail again and when I'm out will I end up in my maze again

Have I been saved or was it all a false feeling 

And is that why I can't kill the sin that is killing me?

K.Oni

She was fine

She was fine 

To get her attention I had to step out of line

Nothing to lose but a dream

My fantasy was me and her to be a team.

Picture the scene,

The presence and the warmth 

The days have gone by, 

But nobody remembers the past

When the present is full of reverie,

My allegiance to the cause will not end like a memory. 

K.Oni

Dedicated to excellence

I ought to be dedicated to excellence, that everything I do is done to the best of my ability. We ought to give all to God and do all as if we are doing it for Christ. And if we are doing it to such a master who expects the best from us morally, then it follows that he expects the best from us mentally and physically. Whatever good we find ourselves doing, then we should do it to the best of our strength. Worldly men exert all of their efforts to gain a perishing prize, we Christians are gaining an eternal prize, so we ought to even more as Christians, first to show the worthiness of our excellent Lord to receive our mercy and to show the world that there is a more excellent way in doing things. 

O I pray that Christians will top every good thing in this world. We will be the best educators, the best scientist, the best in everything. And even if we cannot be the best, that is to be the number 1, at least our approach to it will not be second best. 

K.Oni

I wonder if I fall

I wonder if I fall, do I have the will to stand

Or will I stay down

And think the trouble it ain't worth

Looking at the moon

Will I stay in the fields of dreams

At the end of it all

What is life but a sequence of despair?

Tell me what I know

The impression is a mist 

There is chaos in the breeze

The lustre of urbanity. 

K.Oni

Her ways I once enjoyed

Her ways I once enjoyed 

But now disengaged from the facts

Of which her sunny smile compelled me to adore.

The interest of her charm was remembered on an equable farm

The pleasure of flight, on the leaves the birds and I asserted our cries.

I walked through the faultless light 

Her pleasant rays tendered my sight.

O, gentle glow

My Spirit has learned not to be so low

At her remembrance, what could have been

Will never be seen!

K.Oni 

But not defeat!

It is not worth the feelings to dwell too long on what is past

It is unchanging like the rapidity of a bad smell.

Take courage to sit at the enemies table

For only through composure can fear be fought,

The broken supply of hope led to my clamorous chime.

But breathe, even defeat can make sense in love

A dove whispers, unlike the sea she does not roar.

Gentle flames in time will burn the wheat

May my habits reflect the significance of what I perceive.

Each step, no matter how far back it goes

Will seek to regain whatever distance was lost.

Even if at the end of my life I ended up where I started

The markings on the sand will show my history was a continuous war

But not defeat!

K.Oni

I never did think I would win in my own strength

I never did think I would win in my own strength

But I had angel friends who believed

And in the strength of Christ, I went

And came back defeated.

Goliath stumped me 

The devil hurt me

But I will always rise

Because God has declared that no one can ever kill me.

But sometimes I'm a fool

I fail to prepare,

This time I'll dedicate my time

To the tools, I've got to learn

It doesn't guarantee my victory

But the war is already won.

In my losses, I keep my smile

It shows the hope inside

Faith is to keep marching on

Despite the countless loss.

K.Oni
