THE WALLS OF HOME

(Dedicated to all broken homes trusting that God will restore them; and also, to my big home on earth, Nigeria.)


What are these walls made of?

Bricks, adobe, porcelain, illuminating glass;

Paper mache, cement blocks, aluminium panels;

Mables, mosaic tiles, ply woods, stones or concrete?

Huh! They are made of inestimable characters -

The fruit of the Holy Spirit – love, joy, kindness, peace,

faith/faithfulness, patience, humility,

self-control and goodness.

...creatively crafted by godliness and contentment,

And arranged in courses by the bloodline.

Walls of home enclose the father, true and strong;

The mother in queenly quest,

striving to show the world God’s way is the best;

The children, led to know that truth is absolute.

The walls of home, like galleries,

hold pictures rich and rare;

All framed in golden memories,

and kept with loving care.

Some tableaux echo childish glee,

and others are serene;

While love, and faith, and loyalty

illumine every scene with astounding clarity.

Tho’ years may alter museum halls,

and banish transient arts;

The timeless joys within home’s

Walls are etched on human

hearts which stand in eternity.

Walls of home professionally finished and aesthetically ornamented

with the portrait of a real man, a real woman and godly seeds.

Walls of home make a healthy and well-balanced family,

properly equipped to withstand all the chronological seasons of life.

A family that is unique and typifies the heavenly family

Walls of home make the home not only

peaceably habitable;

But also, a home away from Home (Heaven);

A home where God’s will is sought;

A home where the Lord is an honoured Guest/Dweller;

A home where the altar fires burn with white flames;

and glow with a glorious, irresistible, infectious radiance;

A home that is free from the blight of wrong, intolerance,

prejudice, inequality, disorderliness, immorality,

religious disparity and disunity...

How so much important are the walls of home.

Home is the foundation of the society,

A healthy home makes a healthy nation;

And a healthy nation makes an remarkable history.

Can we view Nigeria as our ”National” (earthly) Home?

Then, with the walls of home,

A peaceful Nigeria, where the Lord is our God,

And where everyone is ONE is possible.

We become the happiest and strongest people on earth.

We are one big family and live in the same

Home called Nigeria.

Regardless our diversities, we are ONE.

One Big Family, One Great Home.

Thank God for the gifts on the Walls of home

which enclose us all and make us ONE.


HAPPY INTERNATIONAL DAY FOR THE FAMILY...
