Spoken Words


Do you believe that amidst chaos
If you really listen
You’ll hear the still small voice saying “I am here"?
Well... ’Do you believe?
Or
Do you lament your fate every time
Wailing and complaining to everyone who cares to listen
But on the real though, don’t give a damn
Of the trials and sufferings
Meted to you by your enemies?
Really...Not to sound sarcastic but then again,
I‘m allowed to change my mind.
Even His Son who bore your sin had complaint but who did he take it to?
Yes...In case you forgot.
God!
HE is the Alpha,
HE is the Omega,
The Beginning,
The End,
The Middle,
The Hereafter,
The Thereafter,
The Comma,
The Full Stop,
Need I go on?
If the weight of the world is on your shoulders, remember HE is God
Even the president who has to sort the troubles of 160 million people goes to bed
Heavily guarded by armies of soldiers;
What does that tell you?
HE isn’t Omnipresent
HE isn’t Omniscient
As you also go to bed unconscious of the swarm of angels
Doing battle on your behalf
Only to get up in the morning…rested…or almost
And walk out like you own your body…
Forgetting to say a prayer of thanksgiving
Oh yeah!
I remember, the body that was once a temple
Has become the holy grail of different markings
Some
Scars…that run deep
And on Sunday you go lift up “holy hands”
Oh really...
Those hands that touches filth
Hands that lay calabashes at the T junction.
Laying claims to wealth not labored for
Did you forget…that He Said?
My words will not return to me unfulfilled,
Or that He will not test us beyond our abilities to withstand
Rather you test His patience.
Pushing the buttons to find how far you can go
Before you turn and say “Save me Jesus, I‘m an unworthy servant”
Remember he is patient because he always shows mercy
But he will not wait until… (I’d allow you fill in the gaps)
So now that you know what you already knew
How about I ask you the question one more time
Do you believe that amidst chaos
If you really listen
You’ll hear the still small voice saying “I am here?
