Christian? (Who are you?) I walked into my class I looked at a lot of people They were playing. Some were reading. I had just finished my last secondary school examination. I stared fixedly at a girl , she was giving out tickets. "Here's a ticket to the biggest sign out party. Get yours now"  she yelled About 20 people got from her.  I smiled I walked out of the class.  I went to my school's garden and I prayed. "Thank YOU God" I said when I was done praying "Hey , Hannah" Someone greeted me "Hello. How are you , Christianah?" "I'm fine. So , I hope you'll be around for the party today" she said "No dear" I said "Why?. It will be fun. There won't be any alcoholic drinks. I guess.

MELLOW BY GEJUMI

Mellow Just take it slow, it’s not that difficult  It is apt that you mellow, it’s not that important  Smile and show those stunning dentition Walk with me through and you’ll see it’s tantamount to nothing  Let those waves wipe off your trepidation  Give in to peace to define your being,  Let it flow through your veins  Do you mind we sit and understand the mist of antiquities?  My duty it is to let you know you’re not alone  The burden you bear is not for you to condone  I repeat that it’s apt that you mellow  Inhale to the deepest you can go to release your fears and sorrow  Are you calm? Did that feel right? Are you still tight? Did you see the light?  Shall I proceed? I’m gay that you think it’s funny  Don’t frown, don’t recede; I just don’t want your stress to cloud your sight  Remember to inhale deeply when you lose sight  I repeat; It’s apt that you mellow ©️Gejumi2020

Tell Jesus( The Solution) I heard incessant laughter and jeers from my classmates as the teacher spoke. It was Mathematics class I'm don't like the subject but I have never failed it. I never had higher than a B Grade though I want this term to be completely different. I'm working on having an A I tried to concentrate but I couldn't My classmates kept playing They didn't pay much attention to the teacher. I kept struggling and trying to keep up. My own was in my mouth as I stared at the board. The door flew open. I raised my head to look at who it was It was Annie "Why is she always late?" someone whispered but it was audible "She doesn't even look neat" "I wonder why she dresses like this" People kept saying different things I looked at Mrs. Robinson. She wanted to scold Annie but she couldn't do anything. I felt she couldn't find the right words to use at that moment. She warned her several t

CHRONICLES OF ENTANGLEMENTS (MY VIEW)

Chronicles of Entanglements (My View) Sometimes , we fall in love Or let me say we get tangled with feelings and emotional brouhaha It feels like that's the one The 'Mr or Mrs Right' or 'Final bus stop' Then they see their future together Their brain is in love and the heart also But it stops being real after a while One person sees the reality The other thinks the chemistry never existed Talks of relationships based on electrovalent bonds and alike becomes real to them Going back to previous chats then brings pain instead of good memories Conversations are forced One person regrets or both end up regretting Inseparable people turn to strangers Friends become enemies Numerous people rooting for you begin to think  'I knew it was going to happen' The future once seen together become blur and finally erased Memories... Forgotten Tears are shed Some are held back from dropping Pain becomes unbearable One moves on...One is hanging on One doesn't care...One s

WHO IS THE HOLY SPIRIT TO YOU BY GEJUMI

WHO IS THE HOLY SPIRIT TO YOU? Emmanuel and Bisola were having this heated argument about the Holy Spirit one day, to me it was not an argument about the understanding of the Holy Spirit but a petty squabble about who was more biblically knowledgeable about our friend, the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit can be whom you want him to be to you. Let’s see this verse, Ephesians 1:13-14 KJV 13. In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,   14. Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.   As soon as you received the life of Christ, after believing in God’s enormous love for you, God gave you an inheritance that you should hold dear, which is the Holy Spirit. He should be your priced possession and that one person you can’t do without. Do not get into arguments with people about the ori
