Just Like Moses.

The people sinned and judgement came

Fiery serpents from the Lord

Consumed their host,not a few

The consequence of sin can't be ignored.

Moses the meek and faithful one

Promptly called on God above

Abrasen serpent he was told to make

Look and live,the cure for all.

Many rejected God's command

Look and live isn't their choice

Other ways they'll choose to take

But destruction will be thier lot.

Like it was in days of yore

All men've been bitten again

Thru Adam and Eve in Eden of old

Eternal death the outcome of sin.

The Father God with love again

Made a cure for all our race

Jesus crucified on the cross

Believe in Him and you will live.

Jesus alone can save a soul

From the destroying grip of sin and hell

RejectingGod's only way to life

Will only bring eternal night.

All the Lord require today

From the sons of men of every race

Is nothing more than days of yore

Believe in Jesus and you'll live.

Don't Give Up.

Don't give up

Thebattle'll soon be over

Your victory is assured

For the Lord is on your side.

Hold on a little more

Your salvation is nigh

Just a little more push

And you'll enter into His rest.

The Lord is a rewarder

Of every diligent seeker

But He won't be happy

If you quit before the end

To the persistent ones

Though faintstill pursuing

To them the Lord will come

With blessings unknown to men.

-Odeniyi Oluwafemi(c)2007.

(Based on the Biblical verse Hebrews 11:6).

When Jesus Came.

Lazarus of Bethany

Buried three days already

Totally beyond earthly help

Written off by friends and foes.

But Jesus came on the scene

Dead Lazarus was brought to life

Hopelessness gave way to hope

For the Ressurection and life has come.

Whatever a man may face

On this terrestrial plain of ours

If only Jesus is in charge

Total restoration will be our lot.

-Odeniyi Oluwafemi(c)2007.

(Based on the Biblical account in John 11 and 12:1-11).

God Sees Your Heart.

In the days of old
When king Saul missed the way
A replacement was sought by God
For the peculiar Israel's throne.

Down the plains of Bethlehem
Went Samuel the man of God
To the household of Jesse
To anoint the future king.

Among Jesse's sons paraded
Before the prophet sent by God
None was found to have a heart
Befitting the glorious task.

Then the youngest son was brought
From the bush,tending the flock
Finally the Most High has found
A man with a perfect heart.

Appearances may deceive
But God cannot receive
Anything lesser than this
A heart perfect towards Him.

Won't you value what He values
For His eyes still searches on
To show Himself mighty
On behalf of the perfect hearted.

A heart wholly purged from self
Childlike in every sense
Purged from every sin
Like God's Son's in every realm.
-Odeniyi Oluwafemi.(c)2007.
