The Swimming Dove


I hear melodies
It's not nostalgia,
But a living gallery
Of Love

The chords from a harp
From the wilderness
Beside grazing sheep
And a quiet heart

A silent dove in distant land
Poured on a river of sacrifice
Without hesitation
In Love

Flying seem like the only choice
But strength waned
And swimming became an option
The only option

Once upon a time,
It flapped it wings
And flew
High into the skies

But time and chance betrayed
Stole the vigour and zeal
Back into the river
the story continues...

Oh dear!
On a river
Swimming?
Foolishness!

You can fly,
You have wings
Just try it,
They said

Again,
It stretched its wings
But instead of wings,
It saw paddles

Sighing,
It rowed along with the tide:
Beautifully
Then joyfully.

This is the right place
At this time
For a reason
Known to faith

It will fly
At the right time
In the right place
For the right reason

Wow this is awesome, the rhymes, use of words. May God continue to increase ur knowledge.
Beautiful! You may not have followed the conventional sequence of such rendition, but the message is clear.
Why struggle when you can wait? Why get demoralized by the comments of passersby when God is yet at work?
Wait simply means WAIT!
Thank you and God bless you, brother.

Prophetic Perspective: Israel vs Iran

The middle east situation between Israel and Palestine is a very complex one that can be viewed from many sides. Whichever perspective you choose, there will always be an unresolved issue. It is exactly a year that Hamas, a terrorist group in Palestine, dealt the biggest blow ever to the Israeli state, killing over 1000 Jews and abducting about 251. It sent a shock wave round the world. The October 7, 2023 attacks kick-started a war that has escalated to involve Lebanon, Syria, Qatar and Iran. Israel has gone all out attacking Palestine in a wave that many world leaders have been cautioning them to consider the civilians. ORIGIN OF THE WAR The origin of the war in the middle east can be traced back to the 1920s when Britain, in conjunction with the Arabs defeated the Ottoman military in Jerusalem and took the city as a colony of the British royalty.  It wasn't long before the British decided to release the land to the Arabs that fought alongside them. But, there was another set of ...

Nigeria In The Bible

As we approach another celebration of the independence of the nation Nigeria, I will like us to know some things about this nation that the LORD has shown me. If a man wants to know the details of God's will for his life, he would need to read the things that have been written or said about him by God. Prophecy is one of the ways that the will of God can be known. Prophecy is voicing God's will. This same principle applies to territories as territories also have a will established by God for them to fulfill. In the scriptures, we see details of many nations that existed in that time. Nations like Israel, Egypt, Syria, Edom, Philistine, Babylon and in the new testament, we saw countries like Italy and Spain which still exists till today. Most of the nations that were mentioned in the old testament bear a new name today. There were some nations mentioned in the old testament, but their names were not specified. God, through the prophets spoke about the destiny of some na...

EndSARS: Prophetic Intelligence

  Some moments ago, the LORD reminded me of the things He shared with me during the protests. As usual, when I hear of an event in Nigeria or on the global scene, I would go to God for prophetic intelligence. I have always shared how that prophetic (spiritual) intelligence is the highest form of reality. When we seek God's counsel about an issue in our life, family or work, we are seeking prophetic intelligence. If we seek it for different issues in our life, how much more would it be of greater premium when we seek it for happenings in our nation. The ENdSARS protests started without any prior notice. There was no signal to it in the physical and it gathered momentum within days so much that many were surprised that Nigerians could stand up for their right. As the protests were going on, I went to God to find out His thoughts about the protests. In following God in the last days, many have missed the trail because they arrange things based on the knowledge of good and evil. We...
