I Just Got Robbed

Poetry
Hey guys. It's the end of December and the end of the year 2015. For many the year might have been good, for some great! But however, if you feel this year has not been memorable, for one reason or the other, always remember that there are seasons when our faith and resolve is tested, our roots deepened and lessons taught us. Maybe 2015 was our year of strengthening. May 2016 be your year of flourishing.


I did promise you a feature post before the end of December, and I'm not about to dissapoint. Nelson Adewale Tokosi is our feature blogger for December, with the titled piece,"I just got robbed". 
Whenever you think that you have made some silly mistakes for which you deserve punishment and you suffer loss as a result of your own foolishness, always remember that God's grace rewrites history and covers your errors so much that the ripple effect of your actions turn out good.

 God's grace covers our flaws, giving us an image of perfection. Rest in His mind-boggling love for you, take off the guilt and watch God turn your errors into successes. Watch God cheat the laws of nature on your behalf. I hope you enjoy this. I know I did.



"I just got robbed", by Nelson Tokosi

Hey! I just got robbed
But I shouldn't be announcing you see
I let the locks up 
And hung out the keys

 Revel in my loss and sow in despair
This is what I get, it makes logical sense
I ran this ship, I'm bound to wreck

The Devil is a bandit
But God is a better thief
Cos what I deserve
He expertly steals

 Not once, not twice even when precautions I take 
When I lock the door, He ubiquitously stays
Hacking my treasury, stealing my inferiority
I've been robbed, let me hurt
But no, He must rob me too
Apparently the hurt we carry holds some value

 Hey! I just got robbed 
And I gave the assist
But though the Law is a bandit
His grace is a better thief.

"Prodigal"

Rhythm

Hey guys. Thanks for the positive reviews from last week. I am really glad you enjoyed yourself. Today though, the GI Playlist is taking center stage. Its time to go grab those headphones again!

The track introduced here is titled "Prodigal" based on the popular parable of the prodigal son. "Prodigal" is a lovely track for those times when we stray away from the Father's path prepared for us, as we go running off in the wind. Of course, we never know the implications of our decisions when our curiosity leads us deeper into sin as we are only little children full of confidence in our ignorance. Silly us.

However, as always, if we come back home to the Father, no matter how dirty and bloodstained our hands and bodies have been, He's always waiting for us even in our most desperate state. That's the confidence of every Christian, knowing that the Father's love is available in our struggle for perfection, anytime we realize our wrongdoing.

So there you have it. This song has a beautiful soft rock feel to it as well as beautiful composed lyrics. But, I'll leave you to be the judge of that.

Were you expecting a longer post? Noooo, I'm done typing. Its time for the music.

And please!!! Drop a comment about the song when you're done listening. Blogging is worthless without your perspective. Thanks.
