INTERCESSORS








By Ola Vincent omotade

What power do they have to watch?
They kept srinkling sweats from their skinny porches

Burning all their souls like white candles
So that others might live sweet and fine.
Never living the life of self,  they are selfless
Living the lives of others, sometimes endless

Yet communing on hills and mountains
Never considering venoms from mosquitoes and snakes

Groaning with hearts crying for lives,
Waiting to see change caused on them
So,  intercessors don't have time for themselves
Cos they spend every of their  days interceeding  for others.

So to you (intercessors)
To you gallant soldiers of Christ,
You who give your lives so others may live
Who stay awake that others may sleep

You who guard that others may be safe but yourself,  youre immuned from demonic forces.
You who protect the innocents of the earth
Who do your work in honesty and in great commitment

You who are called upon in times of trouble
You who break forces of evil
And fight for the cause of justice

You who work under rain and sun
Who leave your families and friends behind
And wander afar to restore order to humanity

You who spill your blood in selfless service
You whose services cannot and will never be quantified
A million thanks for all you do

May the owner of human lives
Protect you own lives
And stay awake when you sleep
And guard you to safety when in danger
And make you pure and innocent of heart
And reward your honest commitments

And save you in times of troubles
And shield you from the fangs of evil
And shade you in harmful conditions

And bring you safely back from all your travels
And gift you with length of days
That you may eat of the tree of your labour

FEBRUARY 27

By Ola Vincent Omotade Aderonke will be my only poem that never ends, For a good woman is but a poem. A genuine poem that comes in blue moon. You are a jewel of purest gold, The smile that never grows old. You are the beauty of the sunset sky, The intricate twinkle of a happy star. You are the keeper of an unborn life, A champion, heroine, a candlelight . You are a budding shoot, evergreen, a colourful sweetness. Your laughter is like the whirlwind of the spirit, it  keeps resounding in the valleys and hills of life and motions. Encircling the hearts of men with magical notions. So now the night of January is past and the day of February is broken Today speaks of this calmness, this brightness,the one you brought. Today carries  messages of heavy words, Words that are pregnant with beauty for you. And with my golden mouth and pen, I wish to celebrate your existence. What joy of a fuller and freer life, have I got if onl...

TOUGH TIMES

By Ola Vincent Omotade (True-life story) I am here to speak of God's faithfulness  And I hope that in hearing this, you get blessed  When it started, I couldn't tell where I was How long I have or when I got there All I knew was pain, I felt an enormous pain all over my body but for my feet. I noticed my plastered face, a connected drip and several bandages. A polite nurse noticed me and called out to a doctor. At his arrival, the young doctor said to me _"You're at the ABU ZARIA TEACHING HOSPITAL,_ _And its because you had an accident,_ _You've been unconscious for sometime,_ _Pls take care to rest"_ I tried to question him but couldn't find the right words to do so Eventually I stopped trying to do so But when I laid back, I was in tears When he came back later that day,  He explained how my accident was fatal, The surgery I had to undergo And the possibility of me being on that bed for y...

MAY 26

Dedicated to Olorunshola Victoria  May-26-2018 Beauty that can't age; the consistency of an adage. I'm addicted to your name; apparently love is to blame. My candid comfort; a pillar no one can abort. The blood in my veins; without you, life is in vain. The sweetness of honey; you're worth more than money. My definite sunrise... there's always hope in your eyes. The sweetness in a sensation; you've given life a direction. If the sky refuses to be blue; still it will forever be light for you. Happy Birthday to you..
