No More Slates By Ogri Mathilda Sarah

Twenty years of slavery

Went down the slates of clay

Written beneath it

Several years of slavery

Straying...

Fashioned in cloaks of mistakes

Lived us in this self of decay

Ride we in these tunes of defiles

In a song sung by jezebel

Little oh little

Did we never see us drowning

Dancing in the wind

Twenty times tossed by the wind

Twenty times diced by the tides

Twenty times cast down the shores of life

Oh little!

Little wonder never did our smile

Brighten than the day

Twenty years of calling

By the Messiah

Your burdens I carried

The pathway do I show you

Oh ye!

Listen, if only thou would listen

A new garment I shall cloak you

In rubies, gold, silver and diamond

I have placed you

No authority is far greater

Just a step..

If only you take the step

You shall testify then, in multiples of this great beauty

Thou will behold

Twenty years of slavery

Went down the slates of clay

Only for one,

One day of confession

And many days unending

A basking joy of redemption

A royal priesthood thou'est become

Placed upon truth

Rooted in an undying, fervent love

Twenty years of slavery

Went down the slates of clay

Awash do we become

Choosing light over darkness

Sorrow be damned

For light has come

In days unending filled with Glory

For in rising, we’ve been placed upon a rock

No wind or tide can shake

We live gloriously

Twinkling everyday as new

As a new creature

No more slates to count

No more bones of decayed flesh

No more the twentieth slave of darkness

No more, other than a glorious life of victory

A precious heir do we become

With no more slates going down the clay.

No more slates

Converted but Unbroken Christians!

Converted but Unbroken Christians! These Christians are converted but they have refused to be broken of themselves to the Will of God! One example we have in the Bible is Jacob! Jacob always loved to do things His own way! Although, he was His covenant child, he still went on to deceive His brother and cheated him out of His right! Later in Jacob's life, God renamed him Israel, which means "he struggles with God." In fact, Jacob struggled with God his entire life, as many of us do. As he matured in faith, Jacob depended on God more and more. But the turning point for Jacob came after a dramatic, all-night wrestling match with God. In the end the Lord touched Jacob's hip and he was a broken man, but also a new man. From that day forward, Jacob was called Israel. And for the rest of his life he walked with a limp, demonstrating his dependence on the Lord. Jacob finally learned to give up control to God. Converted but unbroken Christians are workers of

Broken Pieces 1

A boy was going for a walk. It was a Wednesday, Jerry was supposed to be in school just as his peers were, but things were no longer the same at home. Beverly his cousin was in coma and his dad had become a drunk, his Mum, a nagging wife. Nothing seemed right anymore. So he decided, to take a stroll. Hoping it'd ease off the pain and anger he felt within. Two streets away from home, he heard a gun shot, three gun shots ; At the building where he was resting. The gate seemed to be ajar, so he walked in trying to figure out what had happened. He met his Mum lying helplessly in cold blood, someone had shot her, he tried running after the one who had shot her, but he had lost whomever it was, he went straight into the rooms searching, there was no one, except for himself and his dead mother. Her body had become all cold, how did he get here in the first place? he wondered. There were sounds from afar, someone was in the house. "Jerry... " " Wetin happen ? &quo

It was Saturday, I was done with my chores, which were, fetching water from the well, sweeping the parlor and room. Lacing my boot before I head out to the field to play soccer. Dad’s phone began ringing. “Hello” “Yes, I be Nnamdi, wetin happen?” “Chineke!” “Ewo…. Ewo!” “Ogini?” Mum asked. “Dad what is it? I asked confused” “Jerry” “Sir” “Chigozie” “Sir” “Your Uncle and Aunty just get accident” “Ehh!!!... Chineke me! ……. Life is funny isn’t it? Yeah it is, he bluffed and smiled, as he tried leaning on the prison wall. But it became ridiculous, when he stumbled on the truth. Beverly Parents were dead and buried. The accident that took place was indeed fatal. Beverly Johnson had become an orphan, just in a twinkle. She began living with us. She had to adapt, for two years, when she’d be twenty years of age, to inherit her Father’s assets, it was willed so, and so it was. She was the only heir, and that left Dad and Mum too creepy. I was
