Vessels Unto Honour.
Fit for the Master's use
Purged from self and sin
Vessels unto honour they are
Blessings unto sons of men.
Filled with Holy Spirit
Empowered to do His will
Led by Him alone
Instruments of God divine.
The choice is ours today
To be numbered among the few
Purified from self and sin
Sons of God in word and deed.
-Odeniyi Oluwafemi(c)2007.
(Based on the Bible verses:1 Timothy 2:20-21).
Called,Chosen and Faithful.
It's a priviledge to be called
Like the men in Gideon's day
From among the countless throng
Of the seed of Abraham.
What a greater priviledge
To be chosen by the Lord
To carry out the desires
He foreknew from ages past.
But the greatest priviledge
Is to be faithful to the Lord
For only the faithful ones
Will reign with Him at the end.
-Odeniyi Oluwafemi(c)2007.
(Based on the Bible verse:Rev.17:14).
By His Spirit Alone.
Like the stone from David's sling
God's power and not human might
Can cause a soul to yield to Christ
Obeying the Gospel call.
Thus on theSp[irit we must rely
When Hisruth to men we speak
For no human wisdom or skill
But His power that'll change a life.

(Based on the Biblical account in Zechariah 4:6)
We Have Toiled All Night!
Peter and his companions
On the lake of Gennesaret
Toiled all night in the cold
Just to take care of their home.
All their experiences failed
Their sleeplessness yielded no fruit
After many hours of labour
They finally resolved to quit.
But Jesus came on the scene
The Maker of Heaven and Earth
Just a word from the Lord
And their sorrow turned to joy.
If you'll only allow the Lord
To take charge in your life
All things will begin to work
Together for your very good.
-Odeniyi Oluwafemi(c)2007.
(Based on the Biblical account in Luke 5:1-11).
When All Else Have Failed.
The woman with the issue of blood
Spent all her living on drugs
Just to get permanent cure
From her shameful state of health.
To different physicians she ran
All her resources she spent
Nothing to show for all her stress
Back to square one she returned.
But she heard about the Son of God
And desperately she sought for help
From her grievous condition
For He alone her last hope on Earth.
The very power of God she touched
And her ailment vanished away
She was made totally whole
For she has met the Source of life.
If you'll only seek His face today
With total resignation and trust
That He alone is your only hope
Just like her you'll smile again.
-Odeniyi Oluwafemi(c)2007.
(Based on the Biblical account in Mark 5:25-34).
Can God Count On You ?
In the days of old
When God searched for a man
To stand in the gap for Sodom
In Abraham He found a man.
In the days of Isaiah
When Heaven's clarion call rang
Throughout the Universe
In Isaiah God found a man.
In the days of Eli
When words from God were scarce
God found a man in Samuel
Despite his age and inexperience.
If you'll separate yourself
From things of dishonour
God will surely find in you
A vessel for His glorious cause.
_Odeniyi Oluwafemi.(c)2007.
(Based on the biblica account in 1Samuel 3:1,4).
The Missing Link.
Valleys of dry bones
Problems abound on Earth
Beyond all human ability
Hopelessness reigns supreme.
Tere is a God in Heaven
Who gives life to the dead
His power is unlimited
His abilitycan't be quantified.
But a link is missing
To conduct divine currents
To turn human tragedies
To siongs of rejoicing.
God is is still searching
For men who are ready
To consecrate their all
For Him to change the world
To you Jehovah is calling
Won't you hearken to Him
Won't you obey His call
And regret will ever know.
Odeniyi Oluwafemi(c)2007.
(Based on the Biblical account in Ezek.22:30;37:1-10 & Is.6:8)
