ALWAYS WITH YOU

See, I'm always with you Stretching my hands like i'll do to any you It bleeds my heart that you don't see me you Even as much as i try to be here with you. (Pause)... I'm always with you Travelling as much as many distance with you Searching for me while I'm right here with you You're so much distressed that you don't feel me you. (Pause)... Engrossed in your search So the much that you've searched in me through But still you think that i'm NO WHERE near you Its only your thought cos I'm NOW HERE with you. (Pause)... I'll be here for you Hoping you'll find me PALPABLE That you may know that I'm CAPABLE And can make your impossibles POSSIBLE. Akogun Olalekan(c)2010.

THE EVE MENTALITY

Call it a syndrome and you won't be wrong. Call it a disease and you're not far from it. Call it a helpless mentality,and i'll say you're there. Adam i want this, Adam i want that. Adam i've taken this, Adam i've taken that. Adam see this, won't you take a bite? Adam!, don't just sit there and watch, this is really pleasant. ..........WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF EVE,ALWAYS AT THE COMMAND OF HER EYES. When it say here, she moves here, when it says there, she's there already. SHE'S ENSLAVED TO HER EYES...........Listen as i quote THE BOOK; "And the woman STARED at the fruit (Gen 3:6 CEV)" "And when the woman SAW that the tree was good for food (Gen 3:6 KJV)" Are you still there? Untill the gazing, staring thing came to play, she wasn't decieved (i mean untill her eyes nailed her, she couldn't be nailed). EVE is strong, but only when her 'eyes are shut'. EVE desires whatever looks pleasant even if it&

ADAM MENTALITY

God: Adam,give me 3-reasons why the world is round. Adam: Well the garden says so, Eve says so, and you also say so. THIS IS ADAM,YOU'LL NEVER CATCH HIM WITH THE 'ME or I', he's never involved,its either God, Eve or Someonelse. He forgot so suddenly that few months ago he exclaimed "This is another me,the bone of my bone" (Gen 2vs 23). But only the first storm raged in the garden before he turned around to bite the fingers that fed him... Saying it was the woman that you gave me.(vs 12) What is it that i turn back the blame to God about... THE ADAM MENTALITY; He's never caught unaware. Always thinks he's got it all under control. Always quick to speak and justify himself. Never takes full responsibility of his actions. Is never repentant(never says i'm sorry) Most terrible of all, BLAMES GOD FOR EVERY OF HIS OWN ERRORS. Now,Shall we all repent and throw away this ADAM MENTALITY,THERE'S A JESUS MENTALITY WE OUGHT TO CARRY ABOUT. ..

A RUSH OUT OF SURGERY

I think am gonna walk away, i've stayed too long under this knife of yours, you know this was not my plan, but you kept urging me, i dont want to stay no more, i mean how long is it gonna take, tell me, how much longer till you done with me!!! Its like am fighting out for my life, yet you hit me with another round, today am glad cos i think you're through and the next, you're out with your knife again, feels like i'm in surgery, still you cut deeper, deeper arghh! than deep. With my eyes widely open, my will you cut away from me, my flesh you disect like bread, you call them all excesses, you know well i love them all, yet you cut them all of me. I've got to get out, but there's this something within, i've been runing from your table, that's why i refuse to pray; But you don't ever get off me, still you keep calling me to the table to work on me. (Tears)... Lord now i am here, please take all you need, i don't care h
What on earth,or underneath it could we say is the matter with a man having a plate of food placed before him by the waiter, but instead of eating,he continues soloquizing; I'M HUNGRY, I'M SO HUNGRY,how do i get food! Hmmn! A problem of sight many 'll say, Fear of his belly, or maybe its just Share mischiveousness many concluded. In anywhichway you may want to see it,i think his major problem is that WORRY has gotten into his head. (worry is being anxious or unhappy about something so that you think about it a lot,and lose yourself). "Which of you by worrying can add a cubit to his height?" so the Bible says in Matt 6 vs 27. Let me put a pause to it on this note,worrying will get no man nowhere,the more your worry,the 'crazier' you become. Ooops! Have i left you without a solution? No, its all there, Matthew 6 vs 25-34 has spoken it all. THAT PROBLEM WAS ON EARTH EVEN BEFORE YOU EXISTED,and you'll surely leave it there again if you die worrying.I

WHO AM I?

Like a flower quickly fading,here today and gone tommorrow, A wave tossed in the ocean, A vapour in the wind. Like a ripple amidst the mighty ocean, A particle of sand along the beach, A molecule of O2 in a thousand breath, A fly out of a trillion flies. Like the light of a torch pointed into the blazing sun. So inconsequential a man am i, compared to HIM.What on earth would i look like when i'm placed before Him? One who sitteth in the Heavens, making the Earth His foot stool, i feel this, IF THE EARTH IS SO BIG,THEN HOW ABOUT YOUR FEET? ...Who am i, that thou art mindful of me or what is the son of man that thou take note of him? Who am i that; The eyes that sees no SIN will look on ME with love? Who am i; The voice that calms the sea, will call out for me? Who am i; That the voice that tears appart the cedars, will speak to me in a still small voice? Who am i; That the Lord the consuming fire, will rain nothing but his mercies upon my head. Its clear, and it can only g

WAITING FOR DEATH

WAITING FOR DEATH A time comes in the life of a man,when life would seem like a box of impossibilities. With no way to turn,no room to stay,and all ideas seem to have ceased. Believe me, at this point life becomes a locked box. At this point friends, the only thing that can break you out of the box is the Risk you take. Follow me, let me take you through the account of 4 men who took dangerous risks.In the book of II Kings 7:4, i learnt something i have never learnt before,from people i never thought i would (LEPERS)... "And they said to one another, WHY SIT WE HERE UNTILL WE DIE? Hmmn!, here lies the issue. SITTING HOPELESS IN A HOPELESS SITUATION IS SYNONYMOUS TO WAITING FOR DEATH. Listen to these lepers... "if we say we will enter into the city,then the famine is in the city,and we shall die there: and if we sit still here, WE DIE ALSO. Now also let us fall unto the host of the syrians: if they save us alive,we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die".

THE LOST HERITAGE

THE LOST HERITAGE Passed down from our fathers , chains and chains of years age. Kept with the uttermost of care, secured with lives of men who fought a thousand and one battle to keep it strong ,longing and hoping to pass it on .From generations to generations they kept it on ;FOREFATHER to GRANDFATHER; GRANDFARTHERS to FATHERS; FATHERS to CHILDREN ,on and on they kept the flow. A Substance, What substance? A Vision, What vision? A Treasure, What treasure? Issues we will trash as we go on. The present did not birth the past , the past birth the present, leaving the Faith of the birth of the Future in the ands of the present .We all live in a world passed down, the original substance getting changed with every line of the chain .It is a clear fact I need not emphasise, we own the coming world a pass down of what we’ve GOT .Crude or Refined we can’t but pass it on because today we live, and tomorrow we cease to exist again. The Faith of a generation lies now in the hands of a ch

SECRET OF THE BIRDS

Like airplanes,birds rely on lift-an upward force that counters gravity in order to fly.Birds generate lift by pushing down on the air with their wings.This action causes the air,in return to push the wings up. Hmmmn!...Here lies the biggest secret of flying,and it remains the most important secret of the birds."THEY USE THEIR RESISTANCE TO GARNER MOMENTUM,STRENGHT & PUSH to get to where they would.Something i've always loved to learn & do is climbing my stumbling blocks as though they were stepping stones.Never give up on your resistance,instead,push it down,look it in the face and confront it until you finally beat it down.Hence,ensuring you a flight over it. NB: The way you treat your resistance determines whether you remain resisted or not. Akogun Olalekan(c)2010.

MY CHOICE DEATH

MY CHIOCE DEATH (Sallah Special) Seated with my legs crossed, eyes straight, mouth ruffled upwards, scratching my cheek to my under jaw, swinging from side to side, I was awaited Usman who promised to bring my share of sallah meat. If the next minute passed without him showing up, it will be exactly an hour since I’ve been waiting for him to arrive. With my eyes so tinted, nose blown out, knuckles cracking under the pressure of their neighbouring fingers, I awaited Usman like a man whose entitlements after retirement was being denied him. In the midst of my wait, I looked away and saw this view, a young man pulling a stubborn ram across the road. Quickly my thoughts ran like a flash, and the question popped into my subconscious; WHAT GOOD DOES SALAH DO THE RAMS? I beheld the young man pull the ram like “Come here, you are beginning to waste my time” and I also saw the recusant ram draw back like “What good will you be doing me where you are taking me to?” T he tussle got so bad, th

LONELY ME

LONELY ME Standing here and on my own, right about now there’s no too much for me to show I got friends when I was down below, but am up here right now and am so alone Like a pyramid events seems right now, the fatter it is below, and the thinner it gets above The fact is, not many get up there, but I have found myself there and now I’m living like “upstairs”. Its true you see so clear views, everyone’s around you, but then the pain is here; there’s hardly one next to you. Now you must live like ion oblivion, please take it that way, because for now its your new religion. Its lonely up here I declare! Little wonder you see me sigh and every time I talk to the birds. Life has changed, am not finding it game, and this fame, beyond my thought is making all things lame. But looking well, who am I to blame, the people down the lane or myself up the plain? Life was fun sitting where all was loud, now am like oh my God! How much I miss the crowd. Without feign I’ll take my pain wi

LET THERE BE MINE!

LET THERE BE MINE!!! I've seen days, but now i want to see "the day", I've clapped hands so many times, but now i want to clap "my hands", Eaten food countless times, but now i want to eat "the food", I've seen my phone vibrate and ring, but now i want to see it vibrate and ring "the ring", Met already so many men, but now i want to meet "the man", I've roamed about the lane tirelessly, but now i want to face "the house", Its been eternity in the library, but now i want to read "the book", The speakers have hummed and boomed in my ears, but now i want to hear "the song", My lips have ran, speaking and teaching a lot of messages, but now i want to be "the message", Good music I've sang using a number of keys, but now its i myself who wants to be "the key", Stories I've told, and infact many yet untold, but now its me who wants to be "the next great

CALL IT WHAT YOU WANT IT

They call it a TRANSISTOR RADIO, but i choose to call it my SOUND SYSTEM... They call it a PHONE, but i call mine a TELECOM GADGET... They call it OUT OF FASHION, but i call it ARTIFACT... They call it a WASTE OF TIME, but i call it A SPEND OF TIME... They call it FAILURE, but i cal it LEARNING... They call it an UNDERSIZE, but i call mine FITTED... They say its PRIDE, but i call it SELF ESTEEM... They call it FOOLISHNESS, but i call a show of wisdom... They call it MEDIOCRITY, but i call THE MAKING OF A SUCCESS... Call it ACIDIFICATION OF BASE, and i'll call it a NEUTRALIZATION REACTION. .........Mon Ami, it isn't what they call it that matters, IT IS WHAT YOU CALL IT THAT COUNTS.

A BIT OF PRIVACY

A bit OF PRIVACY "We give you a free software and you inturn give us vital information about you life, your friends, your likes and dislikes. Even most times, you tell where you are at every point in time". Like the words of a captor, whose captives are in ignorant captivity,These are the words of a man i heard over the media.. I'll love to withold his name for the sake of my medium. Permit me if these lines put together sounds like an idiom. All in the name of fighting terror, the world is now in error. A man's life is monitored all about the place,with CCTV's stationed all about the place,in the banks,stores,hospital,schools,airpots,eateries,and even worse of all i found one in the toilet. There's hardly any privacy in our world today. I was only trying enjoy myself with the GTBank ATM machine song when someone tapped me and said "Boy, hope you know u're on record" There's hardly a thing you do without being monitored. Well they say &q
