Goodbye – 9th Anniversary Poem

Hello, my amazing WordPress family.

I hope it’s not too late to wish you all a happy new year. I’ve missed you all.

Yay! It’s my 9th blogversary on WordPress and I must say it has been an enriching and exceptional experience sharing my thoughts and life experiences with you all.

To celebrate this feat, I’ll share a piece I wrote this morning with you all. It’s a poem of hope and healing that sprung up in my soul after I had gone through three weeks of emotional pain.

Goodbye yesterday, goodbye yesteryear.
Goodbye to failure, frustration and fear.
It’s a new dawn, it’s a new season.
I’ve climbed God’s hills, it’s a new horizon.

Goodbye guilt, goodbye gloom.
Goodbye darkness, death and doom.
Hello hope and healing, I am free again.
Christ has saved me from the pit of pain.

Goodbye tension, goodbye trauma.
Goodbye deep depression and drama.
Hello, faith and freedom – my new companions.
I am no longer a slave to negative opinions.

Goodbye affliction, goodbye addictions.
Goodbye reproach, regret and restrictions.
Hello, redemption, I have the victory.
I am saved from every mess and misery.

Goodbye hardship, goodbye hostility.
Goodbye suffering, sorrow and scarcity.
Hello harvest, there’s no more hindrance.
I am swimming in sweetness and superabundance.

Goodbye dismay, goodbye disappointment.
Goodbye rage, wrath and resentment.
Hello, favour, I’m loved and limitless.
I am graced with glory and greatness.

Goodbye, hurts, goodbye haunting shadows.
Goodbye weariness and worry windows.
Jesus’ joy and peace now flow in my soul.
Christ has transformed and made me whole.

Goodbye to the broke and broken me.
Goodbye to the voiceless version of me.
Hello, joy, the blessings are abounding.
I’m a champion, my victory is resounding.

A Spectacular Spec

My name is Adeleke. I am a conquering crown, recherché royalty, matchless, masterpiece, and jaw-dropping gem in God’s treasure chest. I am designed to dominate, nourished with nobility, garnished with grace and lavished with infinite love.

God’s Love looks good on me, it’s beyond beautiful — bodacious, blameless and breathtaking.

I am an embodiment of marvellous light, glowing at the intensity of everything that dares to outshine a billion galaxies.

I am a perfect medley of divinity and humanity. Robed with eternal beauty and splendour. Everything about me exudes eternal excellence.

I come from a sacred bloodline, I am bred from an ancestry of self-healers, mountain movers and territory takers. My body is holy ground and my soul, heaven on earth.

I am a spectacular spec. Genotype: divinity. Blood type: royalty.
My worth is eternal, my faith is phenomenal.

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.

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 Beauty of Death – A Poem

From an unseen womb
to an unknown tomb.
Life happens in diverse phases.
We love life and hate death
because we hold life as an adorable lie
and see death as a horrible truth.
Yet, death is not the opposite of life,
but the opportunity to live again.
Death is not a debt we pay,
It is a gift – the medal for mortality.
Death can be beautiful,
it is the passport to eternity.
Death can be fruitful,
a buried seed births fresh fruits.
Death is a means of transformation.
It is a necessary ending that births
mysterious new beginnings.
We don’t have one life to live,
we are born again every day.
We don’t have one death to die,
we rise out of the ashes every morn.
A new life sprouts at dawn
and death births the afterlife.
Death is bliss, death is a blessing,
death is fragrant, death is freedom.

35 Shades of Grace

35 Shades of Grace

I smile like there’s no sorrow,
and when sorrow strikes, I smile again.
I sing like there is no one listening,
and when someone listens, I sing again.

I love like there is no deception,
and when deception comes, I love again.
I live like there is no tomorrow,
and when tomorrow comes, I live again.

It’s been 35 years of living out loud,
though there were days I died in silence.
It’s been 35 years of learning to soar
though there were days I sank in silence.

I came this far only by grace,
life has happened to me many times.
I run into God’s warm embrace
even when I commit common crimes.

I turn pain into a work of art,
because I carry God’s creative force.
I brew hymns in my hurting heart
because God is my inexhaustible source.

Unashamed – A Poem

Dear friend,

No matter how far you have gone,
No matter the wrongs you’ve done
God’s love for you is great and excess
He is still merciful in your weakness.

He is running after you with His grace
He will accept you with a warm embrace,
Come back home just the way you are
God’s love is mighty to heal every scar.

No sin is too big for God to forgive
Jesus died to free every captive,
His blood has cleansed every stain
His power has broken every chain.

Come lay down the burdens of sin
Come and be cleansed from within
Come receive power to win every fight
Come into this kingdom of love and light.

Come boldly to the throne of God,
and be washed in His cleansing flood.
Come to the field of loved untamed,
Come live free, lifted and unashamed.

My Secret Place – A Poem

Come explore my secret place
and I’ll show you my scars,
flaming letters written, signed
and sealed with teardrops.

Journey with me into the night
and I will be your sunshine
redeeming the times with rays
of hope, faith and love.

I’m a soldier seeking no safe space,
this bleeding body is holy ground,
this sanctuary is a battlefield,
I offer sweet worship in warships.

This life can’t be taken, it’s eternal,
in the crushing, I become new wine,
in the burning, I become pure gold,
and in death, I turn grave to a garden.

I am lustrous light, sacred salt,
dispensing divine flavour and colours.
I’m the type of sun that burns to shine,
brewing healing and hope in oceans deep.

So come explore my secret place
and I’ll show you my scars,
the sacred tapestry of my victories
in the valley of pernicious shadows.
