Peace

I wish for a peace

A mind that will give me peace

Peace like never before

A peace that is unspeakable

I wish for a peace

An overwhelming serenity in my being

A peace that passes all undersatnding

An extraordinary fearless peace

I wish for a peace

Friend..?

Friends do come and go
But God is always gonna be there
Friends can one day turn on you
But God will never forsake you
A friend can go and do things that will break your heart
But God say "come unto me ye who are weak and heavily laden and I'll give you rest"
A friend can make you wish you had never know them
But with God, you always want to know more of Him
You may be so worried sick for a friend yet they do not care less what happens to you
But when you seek God, He's there and He cares more than you'll ever know
A friend may seem to be the best, yet they're the poison that drives you away from God
A friend may keep doing something and their mischief will haunt your dreams just because they're your friend
Friends do come and go
But God will always be there
God be the judge between us
What kind of friend are you??

Moving On

Here I am. All alone in my little world. Where did everybody go? We’ve been together all our lives and yet I never thought that things could take such a drastic turn like this. Now it seems like we’re worlds apart and nothing can be done. Sometimes I wish that I was never born and maybe things would have been different. Things can’t ever be the same. I tried and failed and now I’ve come to the point where I feel like giving up. What hope could ever be there in a broken heart that is losing faith and the will to live on like this? One day you’re flying at the top, the next day you’ve crash landed and you’ve broken more than just a leg. Things in life sometimes paralyse the mind and also the heart. At times it even feels like there is no-one in the world that can help and most of the time that is true to me.

A changing moment is hard to find when you’re drowning in sorrow. It seems like your spirit is drained and cannot seem to find the strength to reach out. When we were together it seemed we were always happy. Despite the ups and downs we may have had I still held on. But the day you gave up, a part of me was lost. A part which no-one can ever replace. I gave you my life and in return you gave me anguish. I gave you my heart and you trampled on it. What did I do to deserve the brutality that you put me through? What did I ever say that made you bring out such harsh words to me? What else did I ever do besides doing you good? I thought that it could be forever, but I realise that you never cared.

I can’t live my life in grief because of the dark shadow you left in my heart. But in a way you taught me something. I know for sure that I’ve come out of this a stronger person. You can’t trust everyone in this world. I realise that you can’t force someone to love you back no matter how much you love them. I’m responsible for me, and for what I do. I’m sick and tired of living like a bird caged behind bars when I should be flying above the mountains. I cannot cling to the dreams of yesterday because the light isn’t shining in those dreams no more. I’ve got to believe in myself when everyone else doubts me. I have to wipe away that draped veil of darkness and penetrate through it all. I know that I have to rise from within this insanity which my life now finds itself in. You brought me down so far that I cannot go down and farther. Now I have to conquer all that I once believed could not be conquered. I must stand firm in my conviction that I will not be defeated anymore. My dignity can no longer be at stake because of another. I’m moving on.

N.B. It's not me by the way, its just creative writing I felt like doing

Such love

Such love
When I was a sinner yet still He loved me
Such love
When I cheated and lied and was too blind to even see
Such love
What did I ever do or say that I could ever deserve
Such love
I could have been dead long back but my life He chose to preserve
Such love
I can never do or say anything that could ever repay
Such love
All i can do is live and follow and walk the way
Of Such love!

Im thinking...

Have you ever caught yourself thinking, “Will I ever change”? This question has been ringing in my head for days and I keep wondering, what and why would I change. But all this thinking of varied things just complicate my reasoning of getting to a point or coming with the answer. I just wonder in many ways why my mind is placed so much in disarray. This confusion drives me deep in thought and I’m lost in a world of my own. It is the obvious thinking of people that we’ll all grow up and mature more than we are now. But my concern is myself. See I know I find it hard to explain myself in a way that people can understand and see exactly what I mean. Sometimes I think that the complexity of the mind is too vast that it can’t be put in words for one to absorb the contents thereof and understand the point of view. I personally believe that if I really put my mind too deep I’d either come up with something extraordinary or I’d zone out completely. I don’t know what other people of my age think at this stage of life, but all I know is that I’m different, and maybe too different. More or less in maturity than others too. I don’t want anyone thinking I got some complex because I shut out and sort out issues by myself without the help of so called friends. I’m predestinated to a greater destiny than what men see me at now. I’ve been anointed to prosper and that is an assurance no-one can take from me.

Life is

Like Job today I’d say, “oh if my words were written in a book”. Life has a funny way of changing your view on things. Sometimes it’s too hard but yet you must go through it. Emotion, it’s always about emotion. Feelings, trust, let downs oh how far too many these things are. Growing up is hard thing but there is no choice to make. One must go through a valley to one day come up on a mountain. Emotions boiling within my being. Feel like the only way to express them is through my tears and silent words. I wish I could quieten my mind for some time. The noise of silence is sometimes so deafening. At a time like this is better to live of die? But the will to live holds its arms tightly around my heart. There can be no struggle, I just have to trust the hands that hold my life. Learning that its too much of a burden to hurt for another. Yet I still must but do I have to? Far away my mind must travel, only to come back again and realise why it must go. Let me be propelled by a dream and hide fear and worry. What is the dream? I do not know. Life is...

Sincerity

Sincerity, it could be the answer to most of the problems we are facing. Reason gets in the way of focus. It creates worry and rejection of the way that is right. Sincerity could be accomplished in such a simple way and it only requires commitment and determination to come out right. But people turn away from it because they are too hazy in their way of living. Sometimes sacrifice is required for a result to come through. People seem to want to obfuscate simple things and get belligerent when corrected. Sure you can “jam” with your friends all you want and do whatever it is you do. But one thing you’ve got to remember is that your friend won’t be there to stand for you on the judgment day. There you will have to stand alone and speak for yourself. You may despise the truth now but when you stand before the throne there is no more trying to explain what you’ve done when here you had the chance to make it all right. So in life you have choices to make, I suggest you make them wisely.

You're my friend and I'm here

N.B This is a poem I wrote when I was at school and I'd just read an email from my friend who was not feeling very good. So I thought it's pretty good encouragement to a friend. The poem is inspired by "Its just today you know" because I wrote them one after the other.

Hey Becky there my friend I know you going through something
I don’t know exactly what it is but its only joy I wanna bring
You a kind of person that I haven’t known to be getting all messed up
And I hate you telling me that you having to drink from a sour cup
See I’ve known and grown here with you even though not for long
But I’ve never felt so close with a friend that it hurts to see things wrong
Ok so what I’m different that’s why I chose to express in rhyme
This is weird and pretty original but it aint a waste of time
Anyway where am I going, let me get this back on track
Becky please feel better it’s not exactly all a total wreck
Just go with the flow
Its ok, that I know
So don’t fell heavy
Ignore the chevy
Galang mi sistren
Yuh luk good eeh
Stop di bawling
Mi got luv for yuh
Mi nuh care bout dem tings dat bother
Look just imagine your mind has wings
Let your mind fly free, get off them things
Otherwise you’ll get strappin with ganja mate
Ha ha ha, that wouldn’t be great
But I care, I really do, I’m here for you
I know you can and will pull through
That’s wassup
That’s my mind
And this here for you I’ve signed
My name’s Charity
Aka Chazyt
You choose
Or even make it three

Inner longing

I search for a truth with a feeling
A sensation that changes a being
A greater surge than the one that once destroyed the veil of darkness which had draped itself around my life
The feeling that felt like chemical reactions within my being and pushed away all strife
When I had lived without regarding what a soul in search must find to live on freely
Un-certain of what power was holding my life in the battles within that were on the verge of defeat and ruin
Circumstances led me on and in to an electrified atmosphere that drove me to a want that never did exist
The haunting silence of the darkness hanging like a shadow within the depths of my heart disappeared in a mist
What then does my heart search for now?
My soul refuses to stand in solitude but at times I stand in exile within my own mind
The need for the extra-ordinary thing which must rest in a weary soul tells me to keep searching
As I have read I must let my life be brushed by the fingertips of my immortal soul
The thirst of my spirit must find the answer that will erase the past
Just as an oak thirsts in a drought but yet the outpouring of rain brings it to life and makes it grow stronger than before
Just as a rose wilts and seems lifeless but as the sun shines on it, new life springs from within
So shall it be that when my heart’s craving is fulfilled my soul shall be like a bubbling fountain of new life
I must be an individual of immense courage within the battlefield of my life
There is no greater battle than that which will be fought with my own life.
Despite the pain, the despair, the disappointments, the suffering, the loneliness within
I must not surrender the very essence of my dignity and hope to the enemy which hovers around me in pursuit of conquering both my mind and my soul
I must find another touch out of the darkness of deception in this lost world
I have known, I know...and I shall know

New day for change

It’s a dawning of a new day; a victory has risen in out hearts. The Lord keeps on doing great things for me. He answers prayer each and every day and every morning. I have every reason to praise Him with everything that is within me and I can never thank Him enough. Do you ever have a day, when you want something and you just say I want this, and then it is provided for you in the simplest way that may be overlooked as just coincidence. But I like that type of coincidence, because it gives me what I need. God blessed me this morning, when I needed something and I didn’t even need to pray, I just got it, and to me, I see God even in the little things. I wish the world could see how great the Almighty is.

Yet everyone seems to want to ignore the gifts and the beauty of what God has made by giving credit to luck or something else. But let me be the one that will enter His gates with thanksgiving in myheart each and everyday. He’s worthy of all the honour, all the glory, all the praise. It’s surely the little things we should never forget, because it’s those small things which lead us to the greater things when we have built up the faith. Keep pressing on the upward way, new heights you’ll gain each andevery day. Have faith, take courage. Take up your cross and follow Jesus. May God bless each and every heart today, and let everything that has breath praise the Lord. He keeps on blessing me!

What more

When you’re caught between a rock and hard place, when you’re troubled with all sorts of circumstances and don’t know what to do. Who is there to guide you through all those problems? Who’s the one who’s willing to take up your burden upon His shoulders? He who will even give His life for you just to live. He woke you up this morning and started you on your way. Gave you the life and strength to face yet another day. It is Jesus, yes; He’s the only one that can take care of you. Many times we take things for granted that we ought not to. We should see God in every aspect of our lives. Thank Him for everything that we’ve ever got, because it’s by His grace and mercy that we are saved. Through all that we’ve gone through, He’s always been there. To give us the good things of life and save us from the bad things that are thrown at us.
All He asks of us is to live for Him, a clean righteous life consecrated to his living word. But many have forsaken the truth and marry themselves to the world. Yet there are still many that are yet holding on, and I’m glad I’m one of them. While I’m waiting for my promises to be fulfilled in my life, I’ll praise Him till they come. Each and every one of them He’ll answer, if they are for the right reasons. Because God is a faithful God, His word never fails, He’s never failed, and He’s not about to start now. So to you I say, live Christian live….live a life of holiness, if you cannot testify just live, if you cannot preach you can just live, for you cannot hide from the presence of the Lord. So live Christian LIVE….for Christ!! Its time for the atonement. You have to accept it, if you’re willing. It’s in your hands.

My Family

Sometimes I sit and wonder
What would it have been like to be the eldest in the family?
To have everyone under you
And then I start to think, what kind of person would I be with no-one above me
It seems I’ve never known or grown in any environment without another person over me and never will
But I guess you have to look at it from Heaven’s eyes
Our lives were known before we were even there
Every birth that took place in our family was a blessing to the world
And now that we are grown and mature and have to make our own choices
I can decide to follow or disregard those that set the example before me
But how can I disregard the footsteps of not one, but three
Much I’ve learnt when they were there,
Little I would gained if they were not there
There’s a love that I give, and also receive freely from my own
A love I can never neglect and it cannot dwell alone
I can’t even imagine life without my loved ones
Because without anyone of them I wouldn’t have made it this far
I have to live my life knowing this one thing
That whatever I do, wherever I am
My reproach is their reproach
My failures are their failures
My promotion is their promotion
And my success is their success
I have to make them proud
And to this I am vowed
All of my life I have to do something with what the Lord gave me
And I can never ask for any other better family
Because when God gives, He gives the best
And He will never make mistakes
His ways are perfect and if we follow them we’ll be blessed
Prosperity and success has a foundation
And it has to start with what has been instilled in you by those that gave advice
So I thank God that He found me special to give me those that He baptized
Now the word is in my hands, and it will take a strong hand of faith to execute it
Quitters never win, and winners never quit
I won’t be the one to start a bad trend
I’m here to stick it out till the end
I am blessed, not cursed with Jesus as my best friend
*MY FAMILY’S MY LIFE*
Jer. 29:11
"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to GIVE YOU AN EXPECTED END."
John15:12
This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

You, the world and I

What do you see when you look at me?
Do you just see an ordinary person? Do you think I’m like the rest of this world? No! How can I be? After all, I am not of this world, so I cannot be like the world. You may think that we’re all the same, but nay. “Our Rock is not like their rock”. My soul is bound for the Promised Land. That is why I cannot live like the world lives, I cannot talk like the world talks and I cannot go where the world goes. See children of God are peculiar treasure. “We’ve been made more than conquerors, over comers in this life; we’ve been made victorious, through the Blood of Jesus Christ”. Brother if you think what that song means you won’t settle for anything less than the best. You can’t stay at the same position that you where in before you came to this original Word of promise, NO! u have to refuse and not let the devil take your possession.

The problem with people is that they think that they are loved and liked by the world. Yeah of cause, they like you for your money and because you let them, they will use you, abuse you and leave you rotten in the gutter with nothing and nowhere to go! You think the world likes you, nah my sister, the world DON’T like you at all. They HATE you. That’s what the Lord said when He was here on earth, and that is why He even prayed for you. But His word still remains in which He said in John 15:18-21“If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you... If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you... because they do not know Him who sent Me."
So don’t you think that the world likes you my friend, because if you think that, you will end up with the wrong company. Just knowing that He chose you, OUT of all the billions that are in the world….shouldn’t that be enough for you? But Jesus said in John14:18 "I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you”27_Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
28_Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I."

So even when the worlds don’t like you, God cares, and He’s there with you if you believe it. All you have to do is call Him; He’s just a prayer away. People try too hard and crank up a whole load of things which only brings them worries and burdens. And after you’ve done all that, God is just waiting for you to call Him up and tell Him what you want. Stop trying to do this and that and just give all up to Jesus. Walk with your head up high and show this world we don’t believe in a God that is dead, NO NO NO! He is alive, and if He’s alive He lives in you. So why should you walk with your head down when you have the One and only True King of Kings living right inside oh you. Ah some off it man, we gotta show the world that we’ve got the power.
Don’t you want to live you dream? I do, I wanna live my dream. But you have to say it, tell the world until they get sick of hearing it. The more you say it, the more you believe it, and the more you believe it, the more you say it, so SAY IT OUT LOUD!!

Life's lesson ~ FAITH

Sometimes in life we overlook many things that are important to us. Influences start to draw people apart from the ways that have been taught all their lives, especially young people. We lose focus on the things that matter in life and begin to depend on the pleasures of the world. But for us to be of any success, we have to turn ourselves from the things that drag us down and walk in the examples that have been set before us. This is the only way we can find any solution to our numerous problems that most of the time we think we can fix them ourselves. You try so many things, go to great lengths to try and find help when it is lying right in front of you. The problem that most people have is pride. People don’t want to take advice because they think they will be losing their dignity, they want to be the one’s known to know everything. But as long as one remains stubborn and hardens their head, they cannot receive any help that they need. Maybe sometimes we are not given the best of advice, but give someone the chance to have their say, then you be the invigilator and you have a right to mediate what you have been given. But for anyone to be success they must be willing to take in what other people have to say for them to better themselves.

There are so many things that happen in life that teach everyone a lesson. But to walk this road of life is not easy, that is why you must apply the principle of the Word. You cannot be successful if you live life in a haphazard way. For anything that is made, there is a operational manual. So as human beings, we will never be able to reach our full potential unless we read the manual. Because if you buy something, and just use it from your own intellectual knowledge, you are not using it to its full potential; because there are many things about that thing, that you do not know it has unless you read the manual. Therefore what we need to use for ourselves is the Word of God. There is no success outside of it. The key principle that we need is in the Word, and that is FAITH. “Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God”. “Without Faith it is impossible to please God”, and it is absolutely impossible.

Many people say they have faith, but they have nothing to show for it. But the word of God says that “Faith without works is DEAD”. So no matter how much a person says they have faith and do not show anything for it, it is of no use at all. There is always an action that follows faith. You have to show faith by your actions, because God will come and honour the action of faith that you’ll take. Where there’s faith there are always risks, but you need to have an aggressive faith, that will defy the odds. That’s what faith is all about, it reaches out for a paradox because that’s the way God works. The solution that He’ll give will be so much above your imagination when you expect something else. It may be the simplest solution, but the wonders it will work are phenomenal.

Now in everyday that I’m living , I’m expecting a miracle, I’m expecting something out of the ordinary, I’m expecting the impossible. This a year with an anointing of ACTION. I feel it deep within me, because you can’t just sit down and not act. There has to come a time where you will welcome change, with open arms. Change has come, this is the season for change, and it is going to take effect. I may not know how, I may not when, but my God has got it all in control and He’s working on it. I am not where I want to be, but one thing for sure, is that I’m not what I used to be. To make me what I need to be. It took him just a week to make the moon and stars the sun and the earth and Jupiter and Mars. How loving and patient He must be; 'Cause He's still working' on me. Amen
