STOP
Listen to the stillness…
The loudness of the silence
The way creation seems to scream of
Something higher
The way the atmosphere whispers of the soundness of
The Creator –
The unbiased way the sun shines on us all
The platter of the rain seems to utter
The secrets of the earth.
All speaking of –
The omni presence – of…
The omni potence of…
The Almighty – this is – the language of nature.

Poem: IN WORSHIP
You are the true God
You rule & reign in our lives
Just…are your ways
You are the very centre –
Core of our beings
You etch the law on our hearts
And place utterance in our mouth
I adore you –
With my heart I kiss towards heaven
Exclusively I honour you
In animated sacredness, I extend to your holiness
Slay me, that my life may intercourse with yours
Pry my heart & soul & remove prostitution
May you be worshiped in my silence
In my action, I usher your presence –
In complete surrender, I live in righteousness
With raised hands, I praise
With a contrite spirit, I survive daily by inquiry
My life is your sanctuary
We gather to celebrate your wisdom
Putting our hands together, we applaud
Your Sovereignity
Under your wings we hide
With one voice, we speak your dignity (ALL)
In your Word, we abide
By your love, we know your integrity
Knowing not any form of backslide
Be worshipped in our relations-
May you be honoured when the bread breaks
In our community, be exalted
You who places the lonely in families
With our Language, we acknowledge You
O Great!
O Powerful
O Awesome
GOD!!!!!

Poem: This Season of Inauguration
I am breathing in a space for which I was created.
I am walking in the land of divine moment.
The land whose soil is full of the footsteps of the patriarchs.
It is a place of sacredness.
A place of sacrifice and commitment.
A place of unique view into the divine nature.
It is a place where divine thought hits mortal arrangement.
A place where the logos becomes flesh.
In this place, I am putting on a new mantle.
I am receiving new authority.
In order to advance the faith, to wash the feet of my brothers and sisters
And to push human civilisation, into new frontiers.
How wonderful it is to breathe in this space,
The air is dense, the oxygen is pure.
My mortal body is re-energised and healed,
to meet the demands of eternity.
How I long for my brothers and sisters, my sons and daughters,
To assume citizenship in this land of divine moment.
How purifying it is in my heart, to walk in this space.
God, grant me the skill to preserve this frequency,
And to pass it on to the next generation,
If the sun of my day drops - over the mountains and seas.

Poem: The Story of the Faith
The conversation of Elohim
Recorded, in the annals of eternity
To make a replica of Himself
In the form of humanity
Thus, was the formation, of the Adam’
In the Image of - Elohim
In the Likeness of - Elohim
A covenant established in the garden
A covenant, between humans
A covenant, between male and female
Thus, was a release –
Of the Power of Collaboration
To steward the Image of God
To steward, the authority of God
To rule over Creation
And God saw, that it was good
A voice heard
In the cool of the day
Resonating, in the conscience of man
Imparting life and purpose
So, was the mechanism, of human living
Bang! The law - of sin
Bang! The law - of disobedience
Bang! The principle - of greed
And chaos, entered Humanity – for generations
Chaos, entered Creation – for ages
Yahweh, stirred in His Sovereignty
Judged and redeemed
And the Christos was released, into the mortal age
As the frequency of redemption and restoration
The prophet announced
Unto us, a child is born, and a Son is given
Abraham, saw Him
David, wrote about Him
Isaiah, prophesied
Yes, even Joel, prophesied…
A people gathered in the upper room
Praying and waiting
And suddenly, a sound from heaven was heard
So was the birthing of the New Human Race
Through the Seed of the Last Adam
Through the pattern of the Last Adam
A Holy Nation established
Through the declarations of the prophets
Through the patterns of apostles
Through the philosophy of the didaskalos
To become an agent of God
Redeeming the nations
Impacting redemptively, upon the systems
Bringing finality, to Divine Purpose
This is the city, which Abraham pursued
A city, seen by our brother John
Downloaded from the Divine Mind
A civilisation from God
A civilisation of the people
The hope of the nations
This is, the Story - of the FAITH!

Poem: Change is the Distance to Immortality
Immortality is my genesis.
For I once existed in divine consciousness, as divine thought
There my being was formed
There my redemptive purpose was established
There my competences were configured.
I entered the land of mortality
And I have walked in this body of weakness, pain and evil desires.
And yet my submission to the laws of the Christos,
Has served to empower me against carnality.
I daily am working out my salvation,
In order to have my soul redeemed.
As I yield to the principles and protocols of the Christ,
I am morphing into a new being.
My consciousness is slowly surpassing the order of mortality.
Soon, mortality will not be able to contain me,
As in the case of my brother Enoch.
My brothers, my sisters –
I have measured the distance…
between this mortal land and the land of immortality
The distance is not in miles,
So that I can get the fastest machine to get me there.
But I am already wrapped up in immortality,
For in Him we live and have our being.
The distance to immortality is change.
So as I submit daily together with you - my brothers and sisters,
To the principles of the Christ.
I am decreasing the gap between myself and immortality.
As I work out my salvation with fear and trembling,
I am coming closer to perfection.
So whether I am reach or poor, young or old, male or female, black or white –
I have the power to walk the path to immortality,
Through my daily obedience.
And the scriptures declare, that not all of us will die,
But we will all be changed, in a twinkle of an eye.
The immortal will overshadow the mortal,
And so shall we be with the Lord forever.
My brothers, my sisters,
Change – is the distance to immortality.

Poem: Thou Art with Me Indeed O'Lord
Father, you formed me and gave me a home in my mothers stomach
And later, you called me by my name, & I arose from my slumber
You set me apart from friends who spat venom like deadly snakes
And gave me a new name, a name above the rest.
I saw your works; I witnessed your good deeds
You always had my back, even in time of need
I never understood why you inflicted so much pain in my life
But you do things accordingly if you saw it was right.
Night flees like lightning at the arrival of your light
Tyrants tremble at the presence of your might
Kings fall at the sounding of your trumpets
And good sheppards arise when they hear your mighty voice.
You told me never to despair even in times of turmoil and strife
Because you were with me and bringing me towards light.
Kingdoms have fallen, new cities are being built
But you remain the same, unaffected by time.
You told me to grab your hand so I won’t be led astray
You showed me that home is just a few good deeds away
You sacrificed your love so that my sins could be washed away
I have no reason to doubt you; you have always held my hand
And you took your precious time, to correct my deeds.
Although I have been shot by hurtful words, & I still fill the pain
You never left my heart, and you kissed the pain away.
Thank you for the gift of life that you have given me
Even though it can be easily blown out in the blink of an eye
You have always protected it as if it were your own
Just as the seas are great in depth
Just as the sun never stops shining
That’s how I view my love for you.
