I knew a sad boy

I knew a sad boy who loved a girl and she broke him. He needed a friend but there was no one else to attach his soul to. He did not foresee the depths of the ache, so he feels he is doomed. He feels ashamed in front of others - perhaps today he has reached his limit. I reached out to him but he sighed in utter despair. In the end, I left him with some food and money and told him I would come again next week.

I want to see your soul

I want to see your soul
Know all your hurts and pain
I don't want to be asleep whilst you are aching.
Life ain't easy, we all got dramas
I just want to be there and help and pick up the pieces. 
I've been alone for too long,
For you, I discarded my isolated peace,
So your throwing stones won't make me leave.

Best Believe

I told her when we are alone, we are here to pray.
If she doesn’t like what she sees, then she can go away?
But best believe I’ll fight for you like Jacob for Rachel.
I won’t wear shoes that don’t fit my feet,
I won’t lose my soul to a dream that ain’t come from God.
Best believe I'm tempted to kiss you - especially in the dark,
That’s why when we are alone it will always be in the light! 
I did some mistakes in the past,
My guilt is gone cuz the blood has washed me clean.
Looking into your eyes is like I’m looking at the stars.
I’ll protect you with more than my life,
I’ll give you my time, my heart, my respect, I’ll serve you until the end of time.
I’ll carry you and our kids with all I have.
If it ain’t much, I apologize but I can only give what I have,
I won’t steal because of envy,
Content in Christ, in this He will bless this.
And if I fail in all this, best believe I’ll get up to fight for us another day.

Yesterday was a good day

Yesterday was a good day,
We had a nice walk,
I got my vaccine
My arm doesn’t feel numb.
She was so pretty,
I looked pretty dull,
I spent my night thinking
Of nothing much.
It's not worth the ask
I know what she will say
I've got to chase my aim
Otherwise, I'll end in disgrace.
She would be a pleasure, 
I thought about my dad
Lovely conversations
But didn't dwell on love.
I'll leave it to chance
But chance doesn't exist,
I'm feeling not a feeling
Only feelings of ease. 

K.Oni

I want to go somewhere I belong.

I want to go somewhere where I belong,
Find my identity in a space that is free of race.
I wonder what she thinks,
If I want to know, I gotta ask. 
Will the journey be free
And the end is hard.
What is it to breathe?
Too many are suffering,
I wish I could pray for them all
To find peace with the God of Love.
Too many reject him
It's a shame, he can set them free,
I want to go somewhere I belong.

Dear Lord, we are guilty.
May we move forward
And live righteously.

Love in deed and in truth

It’s no good merely thinking about loving my neighbour or community, I must love them in deed and in truth. 

How am I serving through my local church or in general? Let us show the world our good deeds and let them glorify God through us.

Let us be constant in prayer and go about doing everything for the glory of God.

One must fight for faith

 One must fight for faith. There is a spiritual war and we must put on the armour of God. The fight is violent but many are blind to its seriousness. Souls are being lost and do we care? Prayer is free in that it cost us nothing but ourselves and time. But how many give themselves to this commanded duty that brings about great results? A praying Christian in accordance with the word of God is often a holy Christian. 

K.Oni 

I gotta keep strong

 I gotta keep strong
Regardless of my wrongs.
Chose to have good vibes
Perhaps one day, I'll be a scribe.
The look in her eyes
She thinks why is my heart full of lies,
I've said too many times, I'm not wise. 
Now it's too late
She never got to see my traits,
I've added a few weights,
But still, I'm writing to create.

First words I wonder if she will leave

I wonder if she will leave
My thoughts are yes when the season ends.
It's such a shame
But it is what it is.
I wish I tried more
But too often I'm a slave to my sins.
I think about it all,
Is she a witch or an angel,
I think its the latter
But I'm a devil 
At least that's what I think,
But in reality,
I'm a sinner in repentance.
At times chained to my feelings.
I'm sure she is full of love,
It's all my fault 
And I will try to make amends
By speaking the first words!

Bring the sunshine

 I must always be about bringing sunshine into people's lives and not to be a dark cloud full of heavy rain. Although if someone is full of heavy rain, I still love them and accept them. I must be open to others to bear my clouds for I am not always in the sunshine state, and I need others sometimes to bring me the sunshine. O, may I invite others to see my clouds and not hide them when I am really in distress. May I believe that I can trust friends and family and that they will love me. 

K.Oni

I must constantly focus on holiness

 I must constantly focus on holiness. When I drift away, I am the most miserable person in the whole world. I must, by all means, murder my inward lusts and kill all of my sins. May I learn to be cointent in Christ.

May I learn to lean on the work of Christ and depart from looking at myself. I must linger on prayer not because I believe in the power of prayer, but because I believe in the power of God.

I desire to see many changes in the world but I do nothing towards it. I do nothing towards changing myself, so how can I see the power of God? 

I cast all of my anxieties on the Lord. oh, look at him, look upon the sweet Christ, He is beautiful and lovely. only those with the Holy Spirit can see the beauty of God in the face of Jesus Christ. He is marvelous. 

What do I want in this world that Christ does not possess? Riches, fame, power, holiness, are all in Christ. He is the darling of heaven, the author of life itself. Oh, such a gift is given to me. How wonderful life is!

K.Oni

Of Infinite space

 It seems wild
A rage constantly under the jaw of his eyes,
Blistering pose,
The action over the horizon
Sparked an infinite war in the decadent sky.
Gods and angels,
Demons and dragons at war,
As each tries to claim their stake
On Eden's golden land,
Created by the first walker,
Before mankind ruled the 
The seven universes of infinite space.

If you were to lose an eye

To show her my best and commit to her all of my love and hopes and fears.
To learn with her and promise her that all I do is with her in mind -
And although I will fail, yet I will never give in to the selfishness of my desires
But will always repent of it.
I love you not because you shine,
But because all the reasons are one that I cannot utter
Except to conclude this,
That I love you because I love you.
If you were to lose an eye your beauty remains perfect to me.
If you were to turn your back on me then I would adore your back in the hope I would see thy face again.

K.Oni

Bend at thy knees

Ah, pride
Bend at thy knees and show tears of want.
Her gorgeous eyes are worthy of our bow,
And although she eschews,
The hurt will not dig deeper if I ask one more time.

It’s not a secret that I like you.

It’s not a secret that I like you.
I wish I could tell you.
But you made up your mind so I’m scared to approach you,
I wish I could be better, definitely to be the man of your dreams.

Take my pain

I’ve seen the sunshine and rainbow smile at me  As I walk to the edge of the day.  Take my pain it will hurt your feet  But if you endure you might see what I missed.

Can’t seem to shake her

I can’t seem to shake her out of my head.
Dining alone,
I imagine her to be sitting opposite,
Looking pleased and amused
At my countenance. 
I remember that evening,
All her ways were enchanting and amiable.
Lovely - nothing less.
What did she fancy of me?

Praise God

It is not enough to merely see God’s glory. We must praise him when we see His glory. If we are not praising God, it is because we are not enjoying him or seeing his glorious beauty. 

CS Lewis writes in regards to praise: The most obvious fact about praise—whether of God or anything—strangely escaped me. I thought of it in terms of compliment, approval, or the giving of honor. I had never noticed that all enjoyment spontaneously overflows into praise. . . . The world rings with praise—lovers praising their mistresses, readers their favorite poet, walkers praising the countryside, players praising their favorite game—praise of weather, wines, dishes, actors, horses, colleges, countries, historical personages, children, flowers, mountains, rare stamps, rare beetles, even sometimes politicians and scholars. 

My whole, more general difficulty about the praise of God depended on my absurdly denying to us, as regards the supremely Valuable, what we delight to do, what indeed we can’t help doing, about everything else we value. I think we delight to praise what we enjoy because the praise not merely expresses but completes the enjoyment; it is its appointed consummation. It is not out of compliment that lovers keep on telling one another how beautiful they are; the delight is incomplete till it is expressed. (C. S. Lewis, Reflections on the Psalms).

In our grief, we praise him because he is our comfort. We see the beauty of his comfort and fall at his feet. We may weep for the night but joy comes in the morning.

Two Sparrows

 God is in the smallest details. 

Are not two sparrows sold for a penny and not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your father. But even the hairs on your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; you are more of value than many sparrows. Matt 10:29-31. 

If God is in the smallest details in regards to birds then he is in my smallest details. Birds die and they do so only according to God's will. 

Therefore, I need not worry. I am not going to die unless it’s God's will. 

I can live my life free of the anxiety of all things. And when I make stupid mistakes and decisions, I can repent of it and no longer worry. 

K.Oni

Why worry

I look at the birds and God feeds them. 

I look at the lilies and God clothes them. 

Not one of the sparrows falls apart from his will. 

I look at myself and doubt? 

Why? 

If I am more precious than these in his eyes, why worry?

Why worry at all. 

He is in control and always will be.

He does it all for my good and His glory.

The writings of Sunny Caane

 Dear Sunny

Why is love so far away from me? 

Will I ever find love in a women's heart? Would she treasure me and accept me wholeheartedly? 

Many have said before that they would have stayed if I could tell them the truth. They wanted me to reveal all that was in my heart to them. They found me suspicious when in truth I had not much to say. I thought I was transparent as much as I could be. 

They wanted more and some accused me of thinking often that I thought that the grass was greener on the other side. Fools they were! I thought no such thing for I always maintained to cut my own grass and to water it daily. 

It is what it is and I am not so sad as to be desperate as some that I know. If I was to die today, I would not have regretted not being married. But would I lament not having a Son? To have flesh of my flesh to advance me. 

My Old man was a ray of sunshine in the grey clouds of his generation and he looks on me as the child of his promise. I am his one and only son and considers me a dear friend as well as his son in whom he is well pleased. 

He desires me to marry for he is convinced that my son would excel both of us in this world and would be the crown of our earthly glory. 

Yours forever

Your time

We can easily lose ourselves in the world of entertainment. 

It becomes our escape. We forget about the tragedies of this world or the fact that at the end of this life, we will all come before the judgement seat of Christ. 

What are we doing with our time? 

Some have said that life is lived in moments. Are you ready?

Is it all vanity and the best thing for us is to eat and drink and be merry?

Or better yet, should we not spend our time Loving God and loving our neighbour as we love ourselves?

Where am I going with this? Only for us to think of what we are doing with our time because one day it will end.

If you are disappointed right now with your past and your efforts thus far, how will you change it so that you can look back and be satisfied.

For me, only those things done for Christ and for his glory will satisfy me. 

May I lose myself in Jesus and not in anything else. If I lose my life for his sake, then I find it.

The writings of Sunny Caane

Dear Sunny, 

If love is measured by thoughts, then she is my second highest love, second to Christ my eternal beloved.

But, say I had to choose between mother and father, son and daughter, friends and cousin, say which one would I chose to save?

But say, if I had to choose with whom to walk to the ends of the earth with, then it is her, my beloved, for her company, none better I have known to me, my dear wife and my only wife if I could have her for a billion years.

I write to express all of the heights of my desires for it is in her that I find all the joys of a woman’s all-encompassing beauty. She is the highest of my sorrows and the second-highest of all my joys.

Ah, dear Sunny, remember in my younger days how I feared that I would love no woman and that I would be a Solomon and desire many women. She is indeed my Sarah, Rachel and Juliet. All my labours are for her and my Christ. 

I am coming your way soon, dear Sunny. You were the one who taught me the ways of love and patience. See you soon my beloved friend.

Forever yours,

Mana

Everyone is a slave to this world

The bible tells us that everyone is a slave to this world until Jesus sets them free. 

No matter how free someone may look to us on the outside, if they are without Jesus then they are slaves to their sins one way or the other. 

This is the proper way to look at all men, namely that without Christ they are slaves to sin and alienated from God’s fellowship. Regardless of the creed that they profess, if they are without the Spirit of Christ then they are slaves and held captive to sin. 

Only Jesus can set them free.

So, in humility, we who are free and have the Spirit of Christ ought not to look haughtily at others but instead pray for each one, beseeching the good Lord to save them just like he saved us. And we ought to conduct ourselves in a way that is fitting to our calling so that God will be glorified. There is no boasting!

Love those who disagree with you and serve them with love. Take no offense to heart as to lead to hatred and retaliation for vengeance belongs to the Lord. Indeed in due time, their foot will slip. 

So, we pray for every soul to be set free and to come to the knowledge of the heavenly Saviour.

Book Review: Blackout: How Black America Can Make Its Second Escape from the Democrat Plantation

In Blackout, Candace Owen argues that the democratic party has not been kind to the black community. She details how the democratic party has had a long history of racism and questions the democratic policies towards black America.  

The book consists of 11 chapters where Owen discusses her views on topics such as Conservatism, Feminism, Faith, Media, Slavery, Family, Overcivilisation, Socialism and Government Handouts, Education, Culture, and Excuses.  


Owen views the Feminist movement (#Metoo) as toxic and highlights the bias of the media to favor the Democratic party’s narrative. Owen issues a challenge to Black America that it is time for a black exodus from victimhood, dependency, and from miseducation. 


She urges black voters to vote for Trump as she believes that President Trump is the president who will accomplish change for the Black community.  


Owen is a rising voice in the political and social media arena against the BLM movement and an advocate for conservatism. She offers a different perspective and urges Black America to free itself from the democratic party's shackles.
