Why Me? — A Poem

Every human being will at one point or the other experience life’s uncertainties, unfulfilled promises, unpleasant situations, unfair treatments and undeserved pains.

The world is wired to give us roses with thorns, sunshine and rain, and a fair share of losses and gains. We must learn to find the blessings and lessons in every season of life.

We should not be quick to accuse God when bad things happen and then forget to acknowledge Him when we experience beautiful things. I hope this poem speaks to your soul.

---

If you have to ask “Why me?”
When it seems God can’t hear your plea,
When secret storms won’t let you be,
And haunting shadows are all you see.

When your jar of joy runs dry
And no one seems to hear your cry.
When funds are low and debts are high,
And you can only look down and sigh.

When the skies pour fiery raindrops,
And your field is full of dying crops.
When everything you hold dear flops
And your eyes brew bitter teardrops.

When you lay hopeless on a cold bed,
And it’s hard to see what lies ahead.
When you’ve forgotten what God said,
And needless noises fill your head.

When you seem not to have a lifeline,
And your noble dreams do not align.
When the twilight stars refuse to shine
And you are left without a positive sign…

Then, when God finally comes through,
When His countenance shines on you,
And He prepares a table before you,
will you be bold to ask “Why me” too?

Your pain has a purpose, my friend,
even if it’s hard for you to comprehend.
Trust the process, never condescend,
God is merciful and faithful to the end.

God is not like people, who lie; He is not a human who changes his mind. Whatever he promises, he does; He speaks, and it is done. Numbers 23: 19 (Good News Translation)

The Frequency of Faith

When last did you read or listen to a ‘breaking news’ that broke your heart? Let me guess, some minutes ago, right?
I know that times seem to have changed without giving us a heads up, and our world is fast becoming somewhat strange. But maybe we all need to tune to a better broadcasting station void of negative news and repulsive reports.

In our world today, as nations fight against nations, economic instability seems to be at war with emotional stability. As funds are dropping, faith seems to be declining too. As debts are increasing, despair seems to be rising too. Wars and rumours of war are raging against global and personal peace.

But in all these, we all must strive to stay sane, safe and strong – a victory we must all win against all horrible happenings and negative news.
We must never lose heart. We must never settle for less. We must never settle for the lies of the devil.

In every trial and tribulation, the truth still holds, “we are more than conquerors” Romans 8: 37.
God has better broadcasting stations. It’s time to tune in to divine frequencies. It’s time to get back on the ‘Track of Truth’, and take back our peace. We must not let situations shut us out of the frequency of faith, hope and joy. We all need help. We all need hope and, no doubt, our world needs healing.

I would have loved to write another epic epistle to you but I would like you to declare this affirmation over yourself. Say this affirmation.

---

I am constantly connected to the frequency of faith, favour and freedom in Christ.
I shut down the frequency of fear, failure and frustration.
I only hear sounds of peace, hope and overflowing joy.
I shut down the waves of worry, weakness and weariness.
The troubles and trials of life will not tear my soul apart.
I rise above past pains and the pressures of life.
I dwell daily in love, light and limitless possibilities.
My jar of joy will not run dry.
My pool of peace flows freely always.
The storms and struggles of life will not keep me stuck in the pit of pain.
I rise above the rage of rejection and resentment.
I have an Anchor who keeps my soul steadfast.
God is the author and anchor of my life.
I am forgiven, favoured and fortified.
I am free to love, laugh and live my best life, no matter what is going on around me.
I am free indeed.

When Strange Storms Rage

On the 9th of February 2022, I woke up at about 4:30 am and had a strong push in my heart to pray for my mother who was battling gastric cancer. I was still in my prayer mood when I got a call from my elder sister that my mom was in a critical condition and had been placed on life support.

I sent messages to some of my friends to pray for my mom while I set out to go see her at the hospital.
By the time I got to the hospital, she had passed on. I wept bitterly looking at my mom’s lifeless body on the hospital bed. I refused to be consoled until I sensed a divine atmosphere around me and I saw my mom smiling in heaven. I quickly wiped away my tears knowing that she is in a place of eternal bliss where there is no pain or sickness.

I remembered that I still saw her the weekend before her death, I never imagined that I won’t speak to her again. God knows best.

We had to bury her three days after her death. After the funeral, I had to resume back to work. The pressure became too much on me and I started having some strange symptoms. I was scared for my life because of the backlog of health issues I was dealing with before then.

I was recommended to go for two major medical procedures barely three weeks after my mom’s burial.

In all of this, I was dealing with a toxic work environment. It was as if all hell was let loose. I couldn’t pray as I used to. I became emotionally numb. I had to resort to deep Bible study and occasional worship.

It’s tough to sustain a joyful atmosphere amid strange storms and painful experiences but I constantly had to remind myself that joy is my perpetual atmosphere and I can’t lose it even if I’m going through hell and high waters.

I’m still trusting God for victory over all the situations that are threatening my joy but through it all, I rejoice.

While I was meditating on God’s word this morning, I was inspired to write this short piece.

Joy is the seal of God’s presence.
It’s the atmosphere of heaven.
Heaven is where God lives.
So, because God lives within me.
I am heaven’s expression on earth.
Even if I am going through hell,
God still lives in and with me.
I will never forget who I am.
I will never lose my joy.
I am heaven’s expression on earth.
I perpetually host God’s presence.
Joy is my eternal atmosphere.

I hope to fully get back on my feet emotionally. But in the meantime, I will keep basking in the joy of God’s presence.

Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls:
Habakkuk 3:17 KJV

Have a great one, friends.
Love and light,

The Faithful God

Oftentimes, the challenges of life shake the foundations of our faith so much that we tend to forget who God is, what He has said, what He can do, and who we are to God.

The moment we begin to doubt the integrity, ability, and sovereignty of God, then, discouragement, despair, and darkness begin to set in.

We need to constantly remember the person, the power, and the promises of God if we must sail through storms seasons without drowning.

If our faith does not fail, we will eventually prevail.

Faith is the key to unlocking the victories given to us by God. Our faith flourishes when we focus on the presence of God amid pain and pressure.

God sometimes permits pain and pressure to promote and protect us. It takes crushing and pressing to produce new wine. God will use whatever the enemy designed against us for our good and His glory.

My dear friends, today, be reminded of these timeless truths…

God is too faithful to fail you.
God is too merciful to forsake you.
God is too mindful to forget you.
God is too powerful to be defeated.
God is too wonderful to be limited.
God is too beautiful to be degraded.
This great God lives in you and loves you recklessly.

Scripture Reference. Isaiah 41:10-13 ESV

Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Behold, all who are incensed against you shall be put to shame and confounded; those who strive against you shall be as nothing and shall perish. You shall seek those who contend with you, but you shall not find them; those who war against you shall be as nothing at all. For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, “Fear not, I am the one who helps you.”

In knowing these, be encouraged.

Love is Calling Your Name – A Poem

You are a legendary love letter
written with the pen of paradise.
You are an epic epistle
written by God to mankind,
every line carries His gift of grace
birthing endless ecstasy everywhere.
Every word offers a warm embrace,
brewing hope and healing for all.
You may be decked with scars
but that does not define you,
you are God’s priceless work of art
– a perfect blend of divinity and humanity,
You may be crowned with thistle
but that should not deter you,
you are remarkable royalty
bred from the bloodline of self-healers,
rise gallantly from the ashes negativity,
shake off the shackles of neglect.
You won’t live like this forever
and, certainly, you won’t die like this.
If you sometimes feel lonely,
it is not because you are deserted,
it is because you are alive.
Rise to hope and healing,
banish every negative feeling.
Love is calling your name,
step out and show up,
answer with grit and grace,
you are worthy of epic love,
this is your moment,
today is yours to shine,
You are loved eternally.

Happy Valentine’s Day lovely friends. What’s your plan for Val? 🥰

I Don’t Chase Love – A Poem.

I don’t chase love,
since the day I chose life,
love has been chasing me down.
He lights up shadows,
kicks down barricades,
tears down contentions,
walks on stormy seas,
and climb up ageless hills
coming after me.
In Love, I live.
In Love, I move,
and have my being.
Why should I chase the Love
that lives in me.

Love is my nature,
Love is my culture,
Love is my life,
I don’t chase my life.
The equation is simple,
God is love,
God is life, I have God,
I have love, I have life.
Love loves me.
I don’t chase love.
I just choose life.
© Adeleke Adeite 2022

Two questions: 😁🥰What’s your take on chasing love?
What’s your plan for valentine’s day?

Scripture References: Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. I John 4:8.

For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. in him. Acts 17: 28

Where Love is Served – A Poem

There’s poetry in every garden,
a verse in every bloom,
an epic story in every season
that only loving hearts discern.

There’s a song in every stream
as it surges over stones,
there’s a rhyme in every dream
as immortal spirit drones.

and just as there is a spectacle
in every breathing work of art.
there is a matchless miracle
in every pure and generous heart.

just look out for the signs
that magnify the depth of divinity.
and listen for the lines
that amplify the peak of humanity.

Fix your gaze on the marble
where peace is preserved,
secure a choice seat at the table
where legendary love is served.

The Bleeding Blessing

I woke up this morning feeling worthless and useless due to the myriad of setbacks I suffered last year and the few disappointments I have faced this year. I felt like I have achieved nothing with my life so far – a voice in my head kept reminding me of the failures of my past and the inadequacies I am dealing with presently.

I reluctantly got up from the bed, prayed, and went to my church for Sunday Service. The first lady I greeted at the church told me that she has been using my daily affirmation book Whispers of Winners. She thanked me for gifting the book to everyone as a New Year gift.

Her compliment jacked me back to the reality that there is more for my life. During the church service, I started hearing a beautiful voice speaking in my head and I began to write what He was saying to me.

If you are dealing with depression, struggling with suicidal thoughts, or feelings of inadequacy, these words are for you too. Here are some of the things that voice said to me:

You are not worthless
You are not useless,
There is more for your life.
despite all your past mistakes,
you are still a miracle.
You may be bleeding now,
yet, you are still a blessing.
You are not cheap,
don’t let anyone discount you.
You are priceless,
don’t let anyone put a price tag on you.
You are an epic story
that no mortal tongue can tell.
You are matchless work of art
that no merchant can sell.

You are valuable, you are adorable.
The fact that you are broken
does not nullify what God has spoken.
Your mess is loaded with
beautiful and meaningful messages.
Your messy pieces are raw materials
for God’s masterpieces.
There is a great purpose
for your toughest pain.
You may look like a worm now
but there is a wonder inside you.
Keep evolving,  keep emerging.
Your current location
is not your final destination,
keep growing, keep going forward.

Don’t give up now,
your best days are ahead of you.
God is not done with you yet.
Silence the echoes of defeat
and despair in your head.
You are a champion.
Don’t be limited by your past losses.
Don’t let the opinion of men define you.
Find your value and validation in the One
who knew you before you were born.
God didn’t create a loser,
you are a winner.
