Strange Love

Posted by Celestine S Ikwuamaesi on April 2, 2021 at 4:03

Why shed the blood of a lamb

that can't trample a scurrying ant
nor scare a perching fly;
that can't hurt a brooding hen
nor startle preening chicks;
that can't raise her voice above a baa
nor bleat in a noise-free zone;
that can't brawl with fellow lamb
nor upset her shepherd's peace;
that can't restrict udder to her young
nor deny fingers of a milking maid;
that can't shield her ram from harm
nor…

I Ask And Bask

If you ask me anything in my
name, I will do it (John 14:14)

My life is wary of a wild world;
I'm a stranger in a crusty clime!
What a drudge to live each day!

Yet the day guards its brightness,
night its darkness; yet to see sun
slow its course, moon its stroll.

The elements in a pact with God,
with God who abides by his Word;
who won't peddle a fake promise.

What grace to flourish in his love:
ask by faith…

Help On The Way

Rousing rays rise, drill through frowning

clouds. An orb, unused to haste, crawls

like waking sun, haloed with golden glow;

drills through a dark mass, full of blaze

no eye can reach.

It looks right, the sight; smells nice,

the fragrance of spring roses, against

choking stench of blood clots—the stain

of shame, cultured into…

Coworkers With God

I was thrilled reading Prophet Elijah's chat with God (1 Kings 19) and wondered at the level of intimacy I observed. Can I get that close? Looking at the passage again, I discovered that Elijah was concerned with seeing God's law obeyed in Israel. There was nothing personal or material in the complaint he lodged with God. Then I saw God list out issues he wanted Elijah handle before coming home. Just like a foreman in a construction site distributing duties at the start of day's work.I had a…

Oh Lord our Victory!Raise your banner on top the mountain.Call up your army—tens of thousand angels—With flaming swords and flashing spears;With quivers full of fatal arrows.Raise your voice; wave your flag.Show your glorious powerIn the arms that bear your word.Spur them to trouncing victoryAgainst the wicked in the land.Yes, the wicked!

Tips for the Intercessor (Part 1)

The Meaning of Intercession

Every believer is called to pray (1 Thes. 5:17). We pray for one another, for the church, for the nation and her leaders, and above all, for God’s will to be done around us. Thus, praying is the natural life of the church and the believer. Prayer is to the believer what water is to…

The Finishing Line

Anyone in prayer ministry is at the frontline of battle, and is constantly under attack. He or she has to survive. Anyone in prayer ministry is a diisciple of Jesus Christ, and wants to reach the end and win the glory, What do we do? We have win the battle; we have to race to the finishing line, hail and hearty.

The Lord gave me the word below, which I want to share with fellow warriors, just for edification…

May God bless your Christian writing and music ministry for His glory and be with the persecuted church in Nigeria and all over the world.

Lord God, we pray that You will guide us in our prayers for our persecuted brothers and sisters all over the world. We know that Nigeria is hit really hard. Please protect them and strengthen their faith. Without You we can do nothing. In the Name of Jesus Christ who suffered unto death to save us from our sins, we pray. Thank You God. Amen.
