OH TURKEY BAKE
preservationman Nov 2015
The catch being the take
The make being at stake
Into the oven you go
Must add all the right seasoning you know
The table will be all set
The kitchen being well kept
I must remember to keep you from my pet
The gathering will come
Eat and drink some
Thanksgiving almost here
That Turkey wasn’t easy to find
But at least I know its mine
Turkey on this day
Happy Thanksgiving to Hello Poetry family I want to say.

THE HOUND THAT GETS AROUND
preservationman Jul 2016
Even though the hound is a dog
Every day across the country, the Greyhound bus knows how to cut through the fog
The Greyhound bus covering the entire United States map
I am dreaming traveling on Greyhound during my nap
It’s cities into towns
Destination ready anywhere bound
The hum of the Greyhound bus engine being the sound
Well, lean back and enjoy the ride
Watch as the oceans hit the shore tides
The Moving Picture Theater being our stride
A wave from a farmer as we pass
Highway to country road and a Greyhound bus stop that came fast
The Mountains that are standing tall
Echoes of travel in all
We are in the middle of nowhere and don’t need to stall
Storm and rain hits the bus windows
Yet the Greyhound bus pushes on regardless of how long
A friendly handshake from a fellow town citizen
It is all in good reason
A Greyhound bus thought to think about, “Stick with us, and you too will have no fuss”
No new kid on the road
That Greyhound bus stretch
The headlights of behold
We are king of the road, but that is what we are told
So that hound bus continues to get around
The Hound having a reason
It doesn’t matter in what season
The fact is, an Icon having the right given name
No need to tame
The Greyhound bus being the world’s aim
Across the country and back
It’s pretty hard to keep track
But all in all, what do you think of that?

ADOPT A PRAYER

Adopt a prayer from the inner heart
The spoken word heard through the inner ear
The sincere cry
The kneeing prayer an effort try
Heaven’s gates that are open wide
The spoken response
My praying continual in God’s time
My heart was troubled with full of despite
I felt no one really cared
But while I was on my knee’s
A praying hand was extended out
All I could do was praise and open my mouth in a big shout
Cry no more, as I will help you bear more
I am the savior for you to explore
It’s the Heaven’s full of galore
It’s the testimony that will be full of sure
Adopt a prayer
A praying hand of motion
Your horizon seeing beyond any ocean
The vision in looking up
Then later, “Adopt a prayer”.

A man named GORILLA STRONG
His last name Strong describes him perfectly
Strength in his own right
Strong and Might
Gorilla Strong started on his journey as a Weightlifter
He would lift weights beyond expectations
In fact, when he lifts weights at the gym where he trains appropriately called “INTENSITY BEYOND”
Every weight he lifts sounding like an Earthquake around him with shakes and vibrations
It surrounds Mr. Strong’s training formation
His body parts seem to muscle flex without Mr. Strong doing a flex
Mr. Strong has received numerous Weightlifting awards and top honors in sportsmanship

You are probably scratching your head in wondering who is this Gorilla Strong is a person who I made up in my head
However, it would be surprising if Gorilla Strong really existed
So where did the first name of Gorilla originate?
It wasn’t from the ridges of Africa nor a descendant from King Kong
It describes Mr. Strong’s strength capabilities and Gorilla built structure
But there is another side of Gorilla Strong
He became a competitive Bodybuilder
How does one go from Weightlifting to Bodybuilding?
Easy answer, Train, Eat, Preparation and Transformation
Mr. Strong competed in Bodybuilding Contest in winning the Mr. Sensational Title
Because Mr. Gorilla Strong is unique and was wonder and instilled competitive
No imagination or dream, but fierce competition in what bodybuilding could become
The stage was set and when Gorilla Strong stepped on the Posing Dais or some would call the podium along with the other competitors, there was no comparison as to who would win the bodybuilding show
Mr. Strong was vascular, constructed, muscle pumps and showed promise and plenty of detail
It was because of his Weightlifting days that paved the way for Bodybuilding
Even when Mr. Gorilla Strong shook one’s hand, it was like shaking hands with a vice
He was just that strong
After all, one’s last name of strong is nothing to ignore
Think on crush and ouch
Some might think that Mr. Gorilla Strong might be too strong
Just saying, what if Mr. Strong was arrested, and was put into handcuffs, do think they would hold being his strength?
It might be considered a strongman act
Gorilla Strong being a man of excellence
Essence at its best
Powerful with might
Mr. Sensational
Global name

Show me a good book and reference materials

I will show how researching should look
It’s a matter of organizing and that’s all in took
The library has books and magazines on various subjects
It’s the reader’s find in elect
Knowledge and understanding in illustrating the proper effect
Books and magazines help one relax
A journey beyond but getting away from feeling perplexed
The library offers wonders in revolving chapters
Just like a book what happened after
Pages turning mystery into theory
A past in what happened in history
I am the Librarian to help you expand your mind
Watch as knowledge becomes the twine
Now knowledge will take you far
It’s not something one can get to by car
As a Librarian, I know the way
I am here daily every day
Who says a library has nothing to offer?
Then you really haven’t read a book or magazine
Think of the library being a lean and clean cuisine.

There were many figurines and various toys for a child’s galore
FAO SCHWARZ was a store visitor’s from around the world that would explore
At any given day when you were walking pass FAO SCHWARZ, one just couldn’t ignore
Even the GM Plaza and Central Park knew the toy store best
But truly only FAO SCHWARZ could confess
A toy store being history in the books
A remembrance only a child will want to look
Wednesday was a sad da7
But thanks FAO SCHWARZ in being a New York City stay
We as New Yorkers are used to disappointments
Living in New York City teaches us how to cope
Every day breath is continued hope
FAO SCHWARZ, a name that will be held close to many hearts
As a specialty store, you made your mark
FAO SCHWARZ, you captured everyone’s heart
From the little one who gave a bear a hug and to the adult drinking water from a FAO SCHWARZ mug
The Christmas bells have stopped
The Central Park carriages can no longer step up
FAO SCHWARZ your doors have finally shut
Your advice to us in don’t cry
You might come back with another try
I will always cherish my 18 wheeler FAO SCHWARZ truck
My little bear in a FAO SCHWARZ bag being well tucked
Your F in being fun, A in appreciation, O having many options
S being Satisfaction, C in Continuous, H in Hello, W in Well, A in Acceleration, R in Remembrance and Z in Zebra figurines in multitudes
You were more than a story toy as you made it for us to soar
Your winning sales were your score
You didn’t say Good-bye as you stated you didn’t want us to cry
Moments for the minute
A name that will be cherished
FAO SCHWARZ and me, and that previous location of toys, I will never ever see.

Promise as it relates too man in delivering expectations
But wait!
Deep in the mind with some suspicion
There is a question of man’s doubt
As you read on you will see what I am talking about
The theory to an answered quest
With man’s thoughts, what else is left?
But Jesus who says it best being my quote, “Honesty is what I have come to know and every day is what the Holy Spirit shows”
The Lord being supreme and eyes on the sky of the Heavenly beams
Man is always subject too fall with a broken promise
Results man wants you to believe in a possible guarantee, but it just relies on a would be
But the Lord takes promise and turns it into it is done
However, it all depends on the urgency of the need, and if it is truly honest in nature
But through prayer, it is for the believer to nurture
Our time watch has a limit, but God’s time at the point of bull’s eye
I see on your face a question of why
A man who sits high and is wealthy in being thy
It is a test of true saints in being patient
Then comes the level of assurance
However this is a reminder of who has influence
Results being God’s given right
Promise seen beyond man’s sight
However it is everlasting God’s guidance light
Promise that you can applaud and praise in thanking our Lord.

2015 ACCESSORY

Constant news stories beyond compare
There were births that parents wanted to share
Danger and caution became words of beware
Yet many disasters that took place
2015 was a year no one will ever erase
it was also a year of wars
there were also wounds with scars
the thought of isis would control territories ever so far
However 2015 was a year of murders with hit and runs
This all happened from beginning to end, and we’re still not done
Terrorist threats that took place here and there and probably everywhere
2015 was a year in being hard to be fair
justice seemed like it was a term, but not having any latitude and solitude
it was a search, but no bearing found
yet the multitudes of voices being injustice sounds
various politicians got into some inappropriate involvement, and will have to serve jail time
my term, “Washington questioned, but has trembled down”
all one has too do is follow the flow
2015 was also a blessing to us all, some were able to overcome and some were crumbled to lives being none
speaking of politics, “The question is who will be able to stand in the president’s seat come 2016
but the politicians running are getting mean
it’s a round up of who is actually lean?
Well there’s the rundown of 2015
A new year 2016 to think about
Be honest and trustworthy
Moving forward from 2015 into 2016
A new hope with a promising tomorrow
2015 of sorrow with 2016 being caring heart having morrow
2015 nothing more than a year we all lived through
it was a mission impossible that we had to pursue
but heaven is how we truly got through
2016 resolution, “put Christ first, and you will see how your life will suddenly reverse”.

IT’S A TAKE

I had famous legacies from education and experience which some these achievers can be found in history books
But let’s take a closer look
For starters, it was my time attending CUNY MEDGAR EVERS COLLEGE, my library Supervisor was Leola Maddox, Wife of Alton Maddox, the famous Lawyer in the Tawana Brawley Case in 1987
Also at CUNY MEDGAR EVERS COLLEGE, I had the honor and pleasure to have Professor Dr. Betty Shabazz, Widow of Malcolm X and she taught a Health and Wellness class
But I had Dr. Shabazz in the fall term that went fast
Now at the Greyhound Corporation, I had 3 Mentors, but one that was significant and his name was Joe Black, Vice President, but who also was the pitcher for the Brooklyn Dodgers and who played with Jackie Robinson
I still have the books that Mr. Black gave me in Achieving Worth Receiving
Now back to CUNY MEDGAR EVERS COLLEGE, June 8, 2017 of the 46th COMMENCEMENT, I had the opportunity to see Medgar Evers Widow, Dr. Myrlie Evers, Daughter and Grandson. I witnessed former Secretary Of State, Hillary Clinton being the keynote speaker
Ken Webb, Formerly of KISS-FM Radio Host lectured at CUNY MEDGAR EVERS COLLEGE as a Professor along with my Professor Dr. Mary Umolu in Radio Station Operations Production Programming
We move from the College to the Old New York Coliseum that was in Columbus Circle in New York City, and it was the New York Auto Show and this is where I met Jesse Owens, won numerous gold medals in the 1936 Summer Olympics. We talked briefly one on one
At Rockefeller Center, I bumped into Mr. David Rockefeller and we talked for 10 minutes one on one
I also met Ted Turner at CNN CENTER, Atlanta, and he gave us a talk in my tour group
I also shook hands with Cardinal Terrence Cooke on the steps of St. Patrick’s Cathedral as they were celebrating the Church’s Centennial
Met Movie Star David Hasselhoff of the Knight-Rider TV Series Fame as we talked directly at Universal Studios, Hollywood, California and also had conversation with KIT, the knight-Rider Car
Miracle on 34th Street I actually lived during the R.H. Macy & Co., Inc. and Gimbels era, but also extends into the TITANIC
I spoke to Arnold Schwarzzenger during his Bodybuilding Competing Days and Superstar Billy Graham of Wrestling
Dr. Hazel Duke of the NAACP New York Chapter preached at my Church
Eubie Blake, Famous Jazz Pianist/Composer is my Great Uncle and who is also in the Smithsonian ***** Museum in Washington, DC
There are a host more, but I leave it right there
Each star personality with qualities beyond compare
Reflection fitting any occasion
History being part of me

THE STORYBOOK POETRY CELLAR
preservationman Dec 2014
I remember a wizardry Fella
As a child I recall the book of Old Yeller
It was those poetry letters starting with T
Then it was the creation all coming from me
A once Homeless man alone on the street
It was his courage being his own mystique
Many words told a marvelous story
One could only imagine as there was plenty of glory
A Homeless man determined to overcome his plight
As the street lamps were his light
He wasn’t taking questions of why
The Homeless man just held up his head being high
Every call to his movement was his action in appreciation
The Homeless man was alive being his own lesson of education being nothing more than pure indication
Yet it took a lot of determined persuasion
A young boy who saved a woman’s life
The young boy was his own advice
A car accident took place
The young boy thought he better keep up the pace
Time was steadily moving
The car was starting to catch on fire
The rescue attempt was full of anguish and desire
The young boy carefully pulled the woman from the car
He moved swiftly so he would be far
Not a moment too soon as the car exploded in doom
The house with only doors
Many intruders who tried to explore
All the dangers that were ignored
Many intruders were loss in the house forever
However what was found in the house was raging mouse
Dangers being a warning
Stories that have their own flow
Details of dialogue being slow
The storybook poetry cellar
Found once upon a time
It was all the words that were combined.

Distance in an instant
Reflect and recline back
Rail and Airlines can get a fund
But Buses are left out not being among
Buses have been moving America more than you know
But you seem you just want to let go
Buses support communities and I am not talking about cities
Passengers depend on the bus because Rail and Airlines don’t go direct
So buses do have and add to the travel effect
Buses support highways I daily travel
So how noble
Now buses are the only magic carpet being destination direct
Again, buses do have that effect
Buses are more than just wheels that roll
It’s the pride and honor in Motor Coach Driving Engineers who take hold
Safety being the number one priority
So bus travel dependability being a reality
Long before trains and air, buses were the backbone roads that started in encouraging people to travel by bus
It’s not a fuss it was a plus
As the parade of buses embark upon Washington, DC, it is a message to keep motor coaches striving
As the buses honk their horns in your city, it is all about Unity
“Buses Move America”
I hope the message will move into you Senator’s heart, and think twice that buses should be funded as well
The results are strongly depended at the Nation’s Capitol
Please sign the Motor Coach Bill
Don’t let buses be a road ****
So Senators, please make it your will
Without buses and drivers, bus companies will be non-existent
Think on the time of your Greyhound and Trailways ride
Think on the scenery you encountered as America passed by
It was a memorable travel experience
Now take that experience and let Motor Coaches Continue to Move America into tomorrow
Please don’t let it be sorrow
All it takes is a sign
I hope you will consider and be kind
Now buses deserve all the recognition and that would be fine.

But rest assured
We continued to have life in applause
We must think on new challenges in achieve
Looking to God’s mercy in receive
We must conquer our own redemptions
We must see the right and expel the wrong
Yet we must all remain strong
God’s grace is where we all belong
Let there be peace within our troubled hearts
Let the image be more than reflection in the mark
I pray for a world that will come together in unity
This means around world into every community
Races upon Races uniting as one
End of story and I am done.

Make your salvation stronger and always hold Heavens near

The counselor is Christ
He is the one that offers excellent advice
God is the one that can move obstacles
An understanding in seeing how to step over the mountain or going around the mountain
Open your mouth in prayer in asking, “Take the solid barrier away”
Let my spiritual soul be ok
Help me see my own solid rock
Let it be the praise among the flock

THE WALK WITHIN THE BOOK
preservationman Aug 2017
It’s a giant novel
It’s not a book anyone can hold in their hands
It’s simply a walk in the book, and the visitor observes the sentence lines within the chapters
Being up close and personal
But the visitor might be surprised if they are written about in the book
The method being like Candid Camera, but in this case “Candid Pages”
So you are probably asking how did this come about?
Well a Novelist felt writing a book was something being like a hobby
The theory and technique the Novelist wanted to share
You could say the small novel into a Giant novel being a comparison
One visitor was torn by the thought, but going along got understanding in what they sought
On this particular novel, it seemed the pages came to life
In Chapter 5, a murderer took place, and the visitors actually witnessed as two characters from the novel got into a brawl, and one character was murdered
Now this wasn’t a who dun it, but the dialogue in how the murderer would be captured
The visitors watched as chapters 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 saw the murderer on the run
But because the murderer was running and became short of breath, the murderer would soon be outdone
The Final Chapter being chapter 11 found that he was caught by the authorities
The reason for the ******, the murderer loss a bet
Now how low can you get
Easy as that
Does a Giant Novel get any better?
We will have to wait and see
Until next time.

HUSHTONE MANOR
preservationman Feb 2015
A party going on with dead souls
The owner of the Manor who died long ago
You are invited to the party so let’s follow the flow
Now remember we are all alive
Just try taking this in your strive
Back in 1896 Christopher Honey was a very wealthy man, and he is the same owner of Hushtone Manor
But there was a creed in Hushtone, “Silent being the lips and harmony being the tone”
But there’s more
The living will be cursed if the creed wasn’t followed
The citizens be came outspoken and hollow
They became a shadow among themselves
So eternity becoming death among anyone’s breath
There souls were all they had left
So Christopher Honey and the undeserving celebrated in walking anguish among the living flesh
This was the colonial way in their confess
But was it more like a contest
The name Hushtone Manor, the place of dead flesh and living souls with plenty of beholds
The gates of Hushtone Manor
A welcome if you come in
Perhaps a different life that positively could begin
The moon has turned black and the lightening has flashed
No time to run or swiftly dash
The moment has arrived and all you have is understanding in an uncertain strive.

Marriages wishes to all couples along with prayer
Mr. & Mrs Kiya Huesca with hope of a Happy Prospecting marriage of bliss
To all other marriages I have the same above wish
Yet it all started with that enduring kiss

Please close your eyes
Lord bless each and every couple with the sound of my voice
This is a happy occasion with a time to rejoice
Lord guide each individual couple with your guiding light
Let it be goodness with understanding in plain sight
It’s not the understanding being one’s own accord
It’s everlasting which only comes from the Lord
Lord, you are the beginning and the end
Please let each couple see compromise will always be in begin
Commitment and devotion is what stands
It’s communicate in working things out
As struggles arise, let their be communication, but no shout
Let each couple see that God is in full control
Husband and Wife being an entity within your behold
Together Man and Wife you became one
Don’t ever forget, it was love that brought you both together being among
My prayers is always keep God within
Call on him when you need on when
But don’t make it every now and then
This is the moment you should give thanks
The idea is prosper along
Yet stay in God’s care in how your marriage will get along
This I pray that all marriages will last
But not lose sight of understanding and letting love past
Always have understanding that involves trust
This is an absolute must
But don’t fight, and forget God is the guiding light
Don’t let circumstances become a plight
Remember, you are not in the marriage alone
God sees and it will always be shown
Communicate, but don’t disrespect
Make this a priority and not an elect
I see flying Doves flying above
It’s beauty and goodness with everything in life to think of
Christ is the Holy One that gives advice
It’s a matter once again in being understanding, but not thinking twice
This I pray in God’s name
Togetherness is always the aim
Marriage into one, and my prayers continual among
The Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I say AMEN.

I was vacationing in Los Angeles
I have a cousin who is in the movies living in West Hollywood
But that wasn’t my purpose to come to LA
Then there’s Universal Studios sitting high above
But there is more to think of
I visited NBC Studios in Burbank
The theme was “Come home to NBC”
Well with a slogan like that, I had to go and see
I took a tour throughout
But as I go further, you will know what I am talking about
I actually saw what is behind the scenes at the Wheel Of Fortune
It wasn’t the Host and C-Host
A show that goes coast to coast
It was pieces of wood in where they stood
The Fortune wheel is nothing more than some carved wood and pasted paper around the wood
Now the camera doesn’t pick up that
The TV audience only sees the glamour being a track
I had the opportunity to see Bob Hope and Ann Julian
I was also able to see the NBC Nightly News live
Well this is Anthony Blake on the scene, and I had to write what needed to come clean
Now you know what the Wheel of Fortune is about

SETTLED DOWN

A look back at the old western days
A time around horse driven carriages in their ways
Stagecoaches that travelled deep in mountain terrains
It was even during storms with heavy rains
Indians attacking over territory
But under the watchful eye of old glory
Here now continues our story
Settlers looking for a place to live
A new life where they could strive
Later tents were temporary put up
As work was being done in building permanent shelter houses
The houses had to be sturdy in all kinds of weather bouts
Stability is what I am talking about
Determination to stay put no matter what
The settlers would not be chased away
Having faith every step of the way
Traveling from place to place was quite difficult especially moving wagons through deep mountains
It was stuff, but the settlers showed they could be rough
Settled west, well that was enough
Survival in settling down, but being stability bound.

The family were driving on the New Jersey Turnpike I-95
It was a three and half hour drive
A tractor trailer truck had just passed the car
The family had left New York City, but weren’t that far
Suddenly without warning, one of the truck’s tires disbursed from the truck trailer’s carriage with a direct hit at the family’s car windshield
You would think an accident becoming the motion
But there was a different notion
The windshield was smashed with cracks, but the driver was able to maneuver the car and gained control
Miraculously it was a sight to behold
The driver was able to pull the car to the side
Yet traffic stopped from a distance, which only God could provide
Later the family continued onto Maryland
Once the family arrived at their destination, the windshield just caved in
But death didn’t become to be an end

Entertainment ride that will make you laugh
It all takes place on the bus
You might just forget the ride
But don’t duck and try to hide
Later Riding Willie will be like a tour escort
Riding Willie will tell the passengers to recline back and relax with no fuss
Are you sure this is a bus?
Now Riding Willie isn’t an actually motor coach operator, but rest assured, he will be stringing you along
Catch my drift!
A passenger asked Riding Willie doesn’t he always travel by bus?
His response was, “He was bitten by the hound literally, and travelling by bus became permanent
Riding Willie later suggested, he always had to sit on a mantle at Driving Sam’s house and collect dust
Boy did I fuss and cuss
I wanted to travel and explore the U.S. land
But Driving Sam always said, “Not at my command”
I tried giving Driving Sam the hint I deserved to be on the road
I guess my threat worked, to my surprise became a behold
Well I am finally on the bus, but don’t know how to act
This is a pure fact
But Riding Willie says, he doesn’t meet puppets of his kind
While the passengers kick back and have their wine
I am all alone and I just whine
Many times I help Driving Sam drive
There must have been some confusion, as we landed in the wrong direction
Driving Sam stated, “Your observation is speculation”
Riding Willie replied, “Total indication”
But the question is who was right and who was wrong?
Neither one will give in
There’s no time frame in the begin
One of the passengers stated, we are being greeted by a puppet
Riding Willie’s response, “Were you expecting a Muppet”
Riding Willie suggestion, “There’s no room for me and Ms. Piggy”
Thank you passengers for letting Riding Willie entertain you
Well, let me leave that to Marilyn Monroe
Enjoy your ride
Sit back and relax in your recline
You are in good hands, Driving Sam is maneuvering just fine
Before I go, I don’t want to alarm you, but Driving Sam missed his turn off.

Words inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King
Inspiration with empowerment
Every sentence by the hour
The image in having power
No period could ever certainly stop
It’s the movement’s that keep all of us on top
We shall overcome
Yet the fight continues and we are not done
Together we are all one
The sunrise in standing and looking beyond our cries
Every effort should be our try
Surpass obstacles that label us outclass
Take no backseat in being last
Races are about associating and living among
Races come in all shades and we are one
Freedom is a given right
No challenge just asking for respect and being polite
Races are not asking for the world
It’s our voices in being heard with understanding being the swirl
More than just Washington, DC steps
Not Las Vegas where you can place a bet
Speeches are made to keep the world abreast in aware
There should be no negative caution in our beware
Think on resolutions, but not be a square
The focus point in how races can go from when to there
As a Content Writer/Poet the voice is in our hands
It has become a solid demand
Think about what causes us to write
Think about how we will continue with Dr. King’s fight
Dr. King fought hard so that races would be recognized
That is enough for us to energize
The mission wasn’t truly complete
History has regained itself with bringing deceit
Slavery was a thing of the past
But the outcome didn’t last
The fog has lifted and we can see clearly now
But today we have a battle and we must show the world how
Speak with positive initiatives
Let your word of voice be like the raw of thunder
But not take cover and hide under
The mirror shows the image of whom we are
Dr. Martin Luther King who took this far
Races that come together are like no other
A separation between
A battle of good and mean
Honor the man who said you are a person
Honor the man who instilled dignity and purpose
Dr. King who died for us
Step up the platform being a must
Dr. King, “Thank you for inspiring me”
I will carry your dream continuously for all too see.

preservationman May 2019
I AM VERY DISTURBED HOW SEPARATION HAS COME INTO SOME CHURCHES
SO WHAT DO I MEAN BY THAT?
IT’S NOT A FACT
TRUE REALITY AT EVERY WORD
I MEAN SOME MINISTERS, DEACONS AND OTHER AUXILLERY THAT THINK THEY ARE MORE HOLY AND ONLY GREET CERTAIN MEMBERS
SAINTS, IT’S ALL ABOUT FELLOWSHIP
JESUS IS FRIENDS WITH ALL INCLUDING THE SINNER
WE ALL CAN ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN BUT WE MUST BE BORN AGAIN AND FULL OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
JESUS IS THE OPEN ARMS
WE AS BELIEVERS MUST EXTEND THE INVITATION
JESUS WANTS ALL CHURCHES TO BE ON ACCORD AND FELLOWSHIP TOGETHER AS ONE
JESUS DIDN’T SAY LET MY FLOCK GO ASTRAY
HE SAID, “FEED MY SHEEP”
JESUS IS NOT A PICKY GOD TO ANYONE AND SHOWS COMPASSION TO ALL WITHOUT BEING JUDGE MENTAL
THERE ARE NO HIGH NOR LOW STANDARDS
ONE STANDARD COVERS ALL

WHAT IF JESUS SAID AND SWITCHED ROLES, AND YOU COULD ONLY EXCEPT CHRIST IN HAVING STATUS
HOW WOULD YOU FEEL?
YOU WOULD FEEL BETRAYED
YOU WOULD THEN QUESTION WHY IS JESUS LIKE THAT
SO FELLOWSHIP THAT JESUS HAS STATED, WHY DO YOU SEPARATE LIKE THAT?
JESUS IS YET PROVEN AND THE FACT HE DIED SO THAT WE MAY ALL HAVE LIFE EVERLASTING
THIS IS THE REASON MY BROTHER AND SISTER AND EMBRACE IN THE GOODNESS OF JESUS THEREOF
WE SHOULD AS CHRISTIAN’S SHOULD SAY, “GOOD TO SEE MY BROTHER AND SISTER, AND IF THEY ARE SICK, WE SHOULD OFFER PRAYER
JESUS PAID IT ALL AND HE IS THE PRIZE
HE IS THE ONE WHO WAKES US UP TO RISE
THERE ARE NO LITTLE U’S NOR I’S ON EARTH NOR IN HEAVEN
EVERY OPPORTUNITY IS AN INVITATION TO WALK WITH JESUS AS HE IS THE WAY AND THE ONLY WAY
EVERY ENCOURAGING WORD IN SERMON’S IS THE PREPARATION BEFORE THE TRIAL AND TRIBULATIONS
GOODNESS IS IN THE PRAISE
THE WONDERS IS JESUS AMAZE
CHURCH MEMBERS SEPARATION NOT
JESUS IS THE WINNING SLOT
WE WERE ONCE SINNERS OURSELVES
SOME OF US NEVER WHAT CHURCH WAS OR WHO JESUS WAS
BUT YOU GOT AN UNDERSTANDING OR PERHAPS STILL LEARNING
NOW THAT JESUS TURNED YOU AROUND
THINK SALVATION IF YOU INTEND TO BE HEAVEN BOUND.
