STELESCOPE

In a world where sensory inputs are rated as the peak of logical perception, it is quite out of place to try convincing an Einstein with loads of scientific formula upstairs that ‘we walk by faith and not by sight’ or “what you see in the eye of the spirit supersedes what you see in the physical”. This being on the count that he even accepts that life has a spiritual dimension.

That you haven’t seen a Mexican physically doesn’t negate the fact that Mexicans exist (ignore the banters of philosophy for now). Truth is, there is a spiritual dimension to life and that dimension controls every activity in the physical. Out of nothing a spiritual God created a physical world. Simple logic purports that if there is a spiritual dimension, then there are spiritual sensory organs.

On this note I ask you to bring out your stelescope (spiritual telescope).

Enter Elisha’s servant with reports about the Syrian army that had surrounded them, eyes about to drop, heartbeat rounding the corner of a cardiac seizure, flight/fight instinct searching for the surest escape route and all Elisha does is smile; Elisha even asks the dude to chill, for the Assyrian troupe that he sees hold nothing against the Heaven’s host that was with them. At this point, the servant must have been another guy who thought that Elisha was nuts.

What does Elisha do? He simply prays that his stelescope be decrypted – when this happened, dude chilled. He realized that the heavenly host that was with them could decimate the entire Syrian army with one swipe. That’s what made the difference in the situation; the enlightening of his stelescope. So, do you see with the physical eyes or with your stelescope?

God asked Abraham to look around him and any land that He SAW, would be given him and Abraham SAW the world. How do I know this? Cos God promised him the entire world after Abraham had looked round – go to Sunday school please. How is it possible that Abraham SAW the entire world with his physical eyes? Nope, his stelescope did the job. He was blessed with even the land that Lot his nephew saw as beautiful with his physical eyes.

It’s apt that we visualize our purposes, not by what the immediate environment offers our physical sensory organs, but by what our spiritual antenna pick up.

See with your stelescope and not with your occularis.

UNFATHOMABLE

I could call you a super nerd
but that would mean classing you with the nerd herd
& your works surpass the confines of the earth,
Therefore, I’ll simply class you in the God head
A king & prince though humble in birth
You are, you were, you are to come
Time unclassified, space with form
The voice that calms the storms
Protector of all, even the slums
Light of the world, dearer than the sun
You are that you are, as near as far
The morning star, with a body of glowing scars
Jericho’s nemesis & Israel’s oasis
Red sea cracker beyond analysis
A rebel cum prince of peace
The “non-consuming” fire on the lips of Isaiah
Omnipresent, air that fuels our desires
South & North Pole cross-wired
Unfathomable, despite the slaps of cynics & liars
Eternal life, bought through thorns & briars
The lamb that roars in Judah
Redeemer, saviour, justifier, sanctifier
The sparkle in a baby’s eyes
The lone hope in the night skies
Word made flesh, word that strangled Egypt in a mesh
Salvation song & the grace stretch
Cross bearer for the wretch
Calvary’s icon, conquerors of Hades’ phantom
The resurrection, the life and the first son
First begotten of the dead, all power’s sum
Master, teacher, sage & the law’s bump
The beginning and the end
Yet picks on the little details between both ends
River of life, ocean of love, root and stem –
Of Jesse’s loins; steering of our helms
The anointed and the sent...
Inventor of inventors yet, just word of the creator
Mentor to mentors; owns the earth & property realtors
Classifying you would be a sham
Naming you would be a never-ending task
Till when I can fully figure out your majesty
I’ll just chill with “my Lord”; the definition of sovereignty

I TRIED

I knelt till blisters, till bleeds, just so to break the fetters
That held men like me...
I wept night and day, tossed & turned in bed, thinking, pondering,

Strategizing, mourning and praying some more, thinking some more
& crying a fall of unseen tears for the souls of men

Hades was overpopulated; there was a demand to depopulate it
I thought of schemes to incorporate... schemes to crack the stronghold
Of the dark media... I got drunk on the Holy Ghost & got “Holygofied”
Contacted “gospophillia”... My eyes all hazy with bloody tears...
I strove at work just so to dump my earnings in the gospel boots of
Evangelists... men hurt me, men mocked me, men slapped me
Men deprived me of all, still I strove
Still I fought the good fight... I denied myself of all pleasures
Even family & friends
Almost living hermetic, amidst acerbic remarks of critiques
Many even tagged my passion as heretic
“the Kingdom, the kingdom, the kingdom” that was all I heard, felt,
Tasted, breathed, ate, slept, drank
So that men could be directed right!

Still souls were trooping to Hades... what was to be done? More evangelism?
More denials? More strategies? More prayers?
I gave myself so much to the word, that I became the word...
I prayed till I became prayer itself...
“I told them dad, I did, I even begged them” many heard, but not all were changed...
I took over the media with the gospel like you asked me to
I flooded the internet with punch lines & humorous liners
Pay & terrestrial TV all showed the movies you gave me grace to make
Plus the serials, series, features, documentaries, & cartoons
“I tried Dad, I strove”... Cinema halls had epics, futuristics, comedies,
Suspense, thrillers & all genres about you dad...
I made sure the box office had you as boss...
Radio shows had you proclaimed... LPs, EPs, soundtracks, mix-tapes, albums on the
Charts had you up there...

“Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus” the sold-out concerts clamoured...
Dad I tried! I strove & I was not thinking of the crown you had waiting for me...
You know it was plain love... I felt the hurt you felt for the world,
The tears you cried for the media... that’s why I wrote till ball points
stuck to my fingers...
it’s why I typed till my keyboard went blank...
Dad you know I tried & never got tired to publish in the print media
Newspapers, magazines, journals...
every phone had your wall paper & every new media had your life...
I made sure of that...
I showed your light in the media dad, they all heard... they heard ...I know
But some kept pressing the delete button...
I won more than a million souls; you already know... but I weep for the few
Who kept pressing the delete button! Dad I tried

***

This shall be my report when I stand before God one-on-one
What would be your report? What will you have to show that you were a Christian?
As far as you are a Christian, you have a calling to win souls
Your gifts shouldn’t lie fallow, use them up...
The grace you have been given, please exhaust
Sow your last dime into evangelism... if you cannot do it,
Let the finances that you strive for do it
Yep!
Let your sweat pop souls from Hades into Heaven...
Please Try!

THAT NAME JESUS

The Name Jesus, The Name Jesus, That Name Jesus Christ
The definition of might, might that defines the only definition of almighty
Jesus Christ in us the wisdom and power of God almighty
The name Jesus, The Name Jesus, that Name Jesus Christ

Born as a child, given as a son
Child did some carpentry runs, but Son was the one that calmed the storms
Child remained a child till death, but Son lives eternal
Son was internal working out salvation for us on the external
While Child endured the external that Son
Might become The Obedient Son
The obedient son Jesus Christ…
The name Jesus, The name Jesus, That Name Jesus Christ

Jesus harbored Christ, Jesus nurtured Christ, Jesus gave Christ visa to earth and then hell
Christ entered hell, Christ wrecked hell, and Christ led captivity captive
Rendered Hades inactive
Christ turned on the heat in hell till the thermostat broke
Then Spoke till the Holy Spirit froze all of hell’s assets
Shook hands with his folks, Abraham, David and others, took them home
That’s why at the mention of that name Jesus Christ hell freezes over
Since, Christ entered hell and came out unburnt
And we died with him even while we were yet unborn
Therefore, we have records in hell that cannot be unsung
& our deeds in Hades can never ever be undone
That is why you are a conqueror at the mention of the name Jesus Christ
The name Jesus, The name Jesus, that name Jesus Christ

Christ returned to Jesus, and the two became one,
So now wherever you had the child, you found the Son
That was the resurrection
And all authority in heaven, on earth, and in frozen hell was handed over to the son
Both went up, both one returned, the son
Now he dwells in us, Christ in us, the Wisdom and the power of God in us
So all authority lays in us… no me but us
Because “me” will malfunction without “us”
So whenever “me” mentions the name of Jesus
“Me” is not speaking for one but for “us”, for all
You see, Silver and gold I have none
But what I have in the Son, I give through the son
So in the name of Jesus Christ, your pains are gone
Your tears and brokenness are gone, your lack is gone
Your infirmities don’t need dispensaries
The intensity of the name of Jesus Christ seals your destiny
The name of Jesus Christ heals your infirmities
The Name Jesus, The Name Jesus, That Name Jesus Christ

That name Jesus walked on water then if I utter
That name on the alter of worship and purpose,
The salty waters your heart mutters in pain can be subdued
Even if all I do is stutter that name Jesus Christ… I am not a plumber,
But in the Name of Jesus I reverse the plumb lines in your tear glands
I, I, I see rivers of joy flow from your tear glands…
That same Name Jesus keeps you from faltering and falling
Because he whom the name of Jesus has set free from sin is free indeed within…
So in the Name of Jesus, run this race without faltering and falling
That Name Jesus Christ remains the same words of wisdom that laid
The foundations of the earth, so in the name of Jesus Christ
From your head, through your mental, your soul, the melodic rhythm of
Your heart and every vital organ to your soles that touch dirt,
I rebuke to death every worldly wisdom, & I infuse your entirety with the
Wisdom of God that knows no dearth…
The name of Jesus Christ opens you doors, props you up, illuminates your core
Toughens you up… it’s sharper than any two edged sword, separate weaknesses
From your soul, creatively reconstructs fractured bones, gives lives to dead bones,
Softens hearts of stones, breaks every demonic stronghold, pops every relationship yoke
Hey! That name Jesus Christ
& if you haven’t encountered the power in the name of Jesus Christ,
Come up thither… Come Higher to the level of Absolute trust in the Name of Jesus Christ
