21/F/Nigeria I am Lois, a creative for Christ. / I write Christ-centered poems, sharing the love of Christ and His deep intentionality toward His creation—mankind. Through every verse, I hope to reveal His heart, His grace, and His desire for relationship with us.
It crawls beneath like a centipede under our bedspread It stays there and tingles, but after a while, we discover our skin is swollen. It betrays our consciousness— It comes like yeast into dough, and we swell and rise, we rise and swell, until we eventually burst like a balloon. Most times, it’s only then we realize we’ve swelled, because it betrayed our awareness. It’s pride, tingling our flesh, causing a swell. It comes unannounced, and makes us welcome it. It is left for us to kick it out, trash it, and pray to discern its arrival— so it won’t cause us to swell and burst, only to realize—after— it has already caused a ruin.

Pray To Discern Its Arrival
I try hard to be like him. Look identical with him, Like an identical twin. The way he would speak, I wish to speak. The way he would act, I too want to do, To be unmistakably in character. I wish the brush of my thoughts would paint the picture he would, To myself, and when I think of him or her, I wish to be like him. In words and deeds, I wish to have his character, copy and paste. Have I achieved it? I would say no. So I would keep practicing his ways until I am like him in character, As the words pop out, As the thoughts pop in, As the deeds sway out. I want to be like Jesus, Growing each day like himself.

Character
Time drips, drop and slips away Our life time ticks away And no one sec of time will be regained ever Time flies away Each day dashes out of sight, Never to reappear Each minute sinks as soon as it rises, Nine years spent in elementary school Which floats us into high school And Teacher says; read at least Eight hours a day, We graduated to solid foods, no more Seven days make a week... Six years passed, with some proud of the time spent, and then Five years in College or Four, bringing forth fruits of time utilized Some go and achieve beyond certificates Three years later produces Two children and the young ones discovers time fleeting nature in rhymes or song Singing Time drips, time drips drops Nine, eight, seven, six, five ,four ,three, two One and then we are at old age Perhaps the creator spares our lives And Zero

You can't hold it on in your hands
The light is an important part of us Light gleams than a hypo cleaned shirt It sparkles like a crystal glass Bright like the brightest sun Light shines and exposes what is concealed Light chases his enemy- the dark Light exposes dangers Light shines on our part and leads us right No one naturally want to live in darkness But somehow some live in it It could be ignorance Of the existence of light Or the importance of light But I can say darkness is ******* Light is very crucial God's first words in creation explains that “Let there be light” But this light came to dwell among us He is light, He came in form of a man He is far of a greater light than the sun I call Him the morning star But this light is the true light we need His light truly overcomes darkness John says it like this: This light shines in darkness and darkness comprehends it not. What kind of light could this be He came to reveal our crooked ways Our continuous stumbling Our missed roads The dangerous destination He came to reveal the father to us And when we come to Him We belong to that light IMOLE Do you want that light? Do you want to leave darkness? Do you want to return to the way home? Then come to Jesus He is that light And He is ever ready to receive you And you become what? Guess I would tell you. Light

The Heavy Message Of Town Crier
A king full of great authority Filled with honour and glory Drunk in power Clothed in majesty His Subjects went against His will And judgement of eternal death was passed The law cannot be broken like that of Persia and media But he was not only drunk in power, But also in Love His drunken love Made Him a reckless and rugged lover. He sacrificed his son As an atonement for their disobedience. His only Son Jesus. If they believe in him The death sentence is overturned And they receive life eternal. Our Creator is a drunken, jealous lover And He has poured out the life of His son To refill you with everlasting life

A Drunken and Reckless Lover
I went into the time machine, Just again, to examine. I beheld Him who formed Everything, and it was good, Including the first man and woman, Whom He adorned with glory And placed within a garden. Then, as I was about to step out, I saw they went against the law Of Him who fed them. They were led out of the garden. Yet, something enthralling happened: He clothed them. Traveling further, I saw him Whose hands smelled of blood and hatred, Yet a mark of mercy was upon him. An old couple, who had no heir Yet believed in Him, got a son, And became a father of a multitude. And there was this cunning shepherd Who needed a change, wrestled with the Creator, And gained a new status. A young boy, trapped by his brethren, Enslaved and betrayed, Yet it played out for their good, For the brothers and the world. The stubborn generation, Who had to see to believe, Who doubted more often than most, Were clothed in glory, fed, nurtured, And protected. And then the Messiah, Who took the pains of those living And those yet to be born, To bring back peace Between the One who formed everything And us. And presently, nations enjoy His sacrifice, And those who don't still partake Of His mercy. My examination in the time machine Is this: The One who formed the world is good, Always good and forever good. He is God, the Maker of heaven and earth.
