Lyrical Healing

       The power of lyrics is immeasurable. The words can cut through hearts, mend broken wounds, bring untold comfort and uplifting of our spirit.
       Throughout this year I have seen and felt the power of music. When I was broken He music healed me. When frustrated, it brought motivation. When angry it showed me the mercy of God. When lost it showed me light. When sick it brought strength to my body.
       God is working into our hearts. In many ways. I have discovered one: Music 🎼🎹🎶. Through music God speaks directly to me. He tells me not to worry, shows me my faults and brings so much gladness to my heart.
       The Holy Spirit brings a song to my heart and when i sing it it brings an activation of my spirit man.
     
       I'll share one of the ways in which music has brought lyrical healing to me. My junior WAEC (West African Examination Council) was only a few weeks to commence. i began to fall sick critically. I would have eye pains and continually run a fever. this broke me both physically and spiritually. I became easily angry and frustrated and it was like all my faith had melted away.
       I felt that way and i regretted every action that i took, as i saw ever activity I partook as a waste of time. i tried to read every possible minute I had, but nothing went my way. I refused to do anything else but read and continued to put my body under unnecessary stress. I would strain my eyes reading in the dark until almost midnight and it seemed like nothing to me. all this weakened both my social and biological relationships.
       as the exams became nearer, fear encrypted me. I became sorrowful and cried practically every night.
       Then the Lord gave me an instruction. each time I read I played music- as led by the Spirit. It brought such comfort and motivation tom my heart. i slowly began to see my faults. I would condemn myself and always continue to do things my way, forgetting that there is only one way.

John 4;16: Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth and the life, no one cometh to the father but by me.

       I started to ask Jesus to guide me and  I learnt to trust him. By the grace of God what came out during the exams were what God lead me to read.

       The are three main points that I am trying to make by telling you these story

  • There is power in music, so be careful the kind of music you listen to. Proverbs 4:23: carefully guard your heart for they are the source of life.
  • When things that the enemy is planning against you begin to work, it means you are wrongly positioned. position yourself in the word of God.
  • God is with you every step of the way, even when you do not realise it, planing ahead of you. 
  • call out to God anytime you are in trouble. Isaiah 58:9: Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer; you shall cry, and he will say, "here I am"

    Note: The term lyrical healing isn't something I just made up, it has existed ever since. proof? read the bible and see how Saul is delivered from his demonic attacks. through the playing of the harp by David.

Inspiring Poem

Did you know that the month April is recognized as World Poetry month. In honour of this and also because I'm a poet, I'm publishing a self-written poem titled, I'm a Youth. The poem identifies the carefree lifestyle of youths of this generation. I wrote this poem through accumulated experiences, how I feel at times as well as what I see in many youths. Hope you are inspired; Poem: I'm a Youth I'm a youth This means I'm young I'm growing and developing I'm a youth This means I can be shy I can be immature I can do insensible things I'm a youth My mum says I'm strong headed I love to do things myself and take orders from no one. I'm a youth My dad gives me responsibilities I grumble, groan and cant wait to be in the company of my friends. I'm a youth This means I'm always concerned about my looks- shape, clothes, hair I try to be updated on the latest trends. I'm a youth I love to list

Still I Rise

“You may write me down in history With your bitter twisted lies You may trod me in the very dirt But still, like dust, I’ll rise” The above is an excerpt from the poem ‘Still I Rise’ by Maya Angelou one of the most renowned poets of all times. I just love this woman (She’s late by the way…tears). This poem is a personal favourite. In the course of our struggle, success story we will encounter setbacks- fact. We’ll experience disappointments, betrayals, failure. But it’s all meant to make you greater, give you a new strength and increase your wisdom. So do not lament over issues instead give joy and thanks for it is another opportunity to learn something new, break records and refine yourself. Yes, I am aware it’s not easy during times of difficulty but you have to learn to have a resilient spirit that says, “No matter what happens, how big the obstacle is, how tired I may seem, I will not give up, I will not let the problem overcome me. I shall conquer, possess and achieve greate

Who is a Christian youth

Hey guys! Its Teenella reporting live from her bedroom😉. I just started this blog and I've been thinking nonstop what I should write about.  I wanted to write some kind of mission statement. But it didn't seem appealing to me. So I've spared you the weary talk. 📝 I'm not saying mission statements are boring or. Unimportant. I'll do it later. Instead I'm going to explain what it means to be a christian youth. Two words here: Christian and youth. Definitions: Christian- a religious person who believes Jesus is the Christ and who is a member of a Christian denomination. Youth- a young person (especially a young man or boy) literally a Christian youth is a young person who is a follower of Christ. But I believe there's more to it than just a young follower. Surely it has a deeper meaning. What's you're understanding of a christian youth? To be continued....
