Title: 'ORB of Crysta-L-ight'

Title: 'ORB CRYSTAL'/31 - Visual Prayer Art from Set by Rev.Bola A

John 1:5 

'The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.' 


Title: 'Orb of Crysta-L-ight'
 --------------------
Emblem of royal power
For every beloved hour
Made of precious metal
Gentle like a petal
A resounding royal cheer
With jewels, oh so rare
Consisting of a sphere
Surmounted by a cross.
Symbol of our cosmos,
The universal whole
For every human soul.

12 Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.
Title: 'HIGH EXPECTATION' - Visual Prayer Art by Rev. Bola A.

'High Expectation'

Nothing is ever all bad
Even when things appear sad.
No matter what goes wrong
We can always remain strong.
Seeing the good in a bad situation
Can lead to a new appreciation
If we can but sit for a while
Rather than become hostile
A solution will miraculously unfold
As if spinning straw into gold.

Title: 'SPIRITUAL INTEGRATION' - Version 2

Title: 'SPIRITUAL INTEGRATION'/Acryl - Visual Poetry by Rev.Bola A.
 
'Spiritual Integration'

Like too many stop signs
In meeting deadlines,
Though challenging at times.
We need the multitude
Of rich environments.
And the fortitude
Of such experiences,
That various cultures can provide.

Thus, in charitable contribution
Towards human evolution
We are enriched,
And not bewitched
By having quite a mix
Of experiences we can endorse,
 Made available to us.

Without this diversity
We would have perversity
Of lifestyle
Even for awhile,
 Our choices would be limited.
This could suppress our evolution,
Like religious persecution.

It has now become integral
To our human constitution,
That people make a contribution.
 And be allowed to choose
Without abuse,
Their own lifestyle.
Instead of having one
Imposed on them from without
For such acts are futile.

Limiting this freedom,
Has caused great misery
Throughout human history.
Mankind must now begin
To live in harmony
With one another.

Ceasing to indulge in misery
We can appreciate diversity.
Instead of running out of rope,
We can manifest great hope
For a better world,
Where everyone can cope.

Revelation 7:9 

After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands

Title: 'TO BELIEVE' - Free Prayer Art

Title: 'TO BELIEVE' - Prayer Art from Set by Rev.Bola A.

To Believe

People hurt.
People struggle.
People have pain.
One man's loss appears
To be another's gain.

A kind word,
An open ear,
A loving heart,
Can turn that all around.
Proceed to smile at
What very thing,
Makes you want to frown.

For as you give
So you shall receive.
No better gift have you
Than to believe.

Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

'FOCUS' - Wisdom Poetry Series by Rev.Bola

Title: 'FOCUS' /Oil  -  Picture Prayer-Art by Rev.Bola A.

Title: 'FOCUS'
-----------

In order for you
To succeed,
What do you need
 To focus on?

In case it should
Pass by anon,
The darkest hour
Is often just
Before the dawn.

Take some time
Each and every day
To write and to play
Before the
Midnight chimes.

To do so,
Is no crime.
Uplift those eyes
And let go.
Allow your mental
Stream to flow.

If for a
Whole life span,
You can only give
Fifteen minutes,
For little bits ,
As time permits -
Then so be it.

Just let it happen,
Make it fit.

If an hour
Or two,
Telling of how
Your dreams can
Come true,
Obtains their
Right of dew -
 That’s even better.

 So happy flower,
Happy letter!

Just don't quit.
For such merit
Has your duty
Strongly knit.

Don’t let yourself
Be distracted-
 Or foresee past
Failures re-enacted.

You will need
To postpone,
And remove
Any such thing
As a ringing
Mobile phone.

Deem yourself
Entirely alone -
Unassisted, unknown.

Hide,
Heaven and earth
From view,
If you have to!

Wherever the
Truth may be
Let it be
In sight for you.

Where sleepy
Twilight beams,
....Focus!
Then see
Your dreams,
Become a reality.

Their loveliness
So absolute
 It seems.
 More precious than
Betides mortality.

Title:‘YOU'RE IN CHARGE'


Title:‘You’re in Charge’

By and large
When you take charge -
Of your own thoughts,
Feelings and actions
And are able to
Detach from all distractions,
You can have plenty
And so be wealthy.

Do you see how
Wealthy you are right now;
And what the thoughts
Within you would allow?

Today you can rejoice
At your great choice!
For in accordance
With your endurance
The degrees of wealth
You choose to experience
 Being blessed with spiritually
And of course materially,
Can be up to you entirely.
