    About this ebook

    Without an established relationship with the Creator the life of Man on earth and beyond is useless. A man was once given the choice of choosing between the wealth, riches, and fame of the earth and a narrow path that led to a mysterious destination beyond. Led by faith and clothe with humility he choosed the narrow path. That rough narrow path eventually led him to a haven of eternal bliss. There his wealth, riches, and fame knew no bounds and his happiness knew no dead end. We do not survive each tick of the clock by our own making but by the unmerited grace of the Creator. It is that unmerited grace that has sustained the continuous survival of man on earth. Knowledge, wisdom, and understanding come from the Creator, seek them and they shall be delivered unto you. The Creator loves you!

      Visions - Imeje Fidelis

      PREFACE

      Without an established relationship with the Creator the life of Man on earth and beyond is futile. A man was once given the choice of choosing between the wealth, riches, and fame of the earth and a narrow path that led to a mysterious destination beyond. Led by faith and clothe with humility he choosed the narrow path. That rough narrow path eventually led him to a haven of eternal bliss. There his wealth, riches, and fame knew no bounds and his happiness knew no dead end.

      The content of this book came to me by way of vision. I have written them the way they were shown to me. Understanding is the name of the Creator for no man can understand anything without His divine directions.

      I do not claim as an individual to discern the meanings or know the interpretations of these verses. Neither do I claim complete understanding of anything that has not been shown unto me. It is a message, an invaluable message meant to be delivered and my part and task I have completed by delivering it. No man is perfect and as such my writing and or choice of words ( diction) may not satisfy every individuals level of comprehension. Hence, I accept full responsibility for shortcomings that are diction related. Any wise individual should read between the lines and read meaning to each message.

      We do not survive each tick of the clock by our own making but by the unmerited grace of the Creator. It is that unmerited grace that has sustained the continuous survival of man on earth.

      Knowledge, wisdom, and understanding come from the Creator, seek them and they shall be delivered unto you. I need not write more than I ought to write. The Creator loves you!

      Imeje Fidelis.

      DIDACTIC

      Do good and goodness shall be your companion all your days. The heart of a man discerns between what is right and wrong before an action is taken. God is only interested in the content of a mans heart. Be good in all that you do. The collection of poems under didactic serve as instruction to man. Do not only read them but also attempt to find hidden meanings in the messages and re-examine your life.

      THE CONVERT

      He longed to serve God

      With all of his heart and might

      This he had desired for his life

      But in his life he finds it hard to defeat lies and trials

      At last he obliged to pitch his tent among the monks

      In that sphere he grew spiritually strong

      With his entire strength he struck staunchly

      Prayers and praises persisted promptly

      Divine consolidation and counselling characterized the confessor

      Who admonish and exhort the convert to follow the upright path

      Presently, the fiend and forces of the dark realm struck a foray

      Desperate to frustrate this converted soul with dark loads

      Thus a war is declared that he must wage on his own

      To determine his stance and fate

      With much ado he fought with faith to prevail

      Against his downfall the mighty hand of God

      Vivify him so that he does not slump nor faint

      Yes indeed he vanquished without stress and much travail

      Leaving behind trails of regret for the dark forces and its followers

      Now at rest he sees the beautiful gate

      Not many souls behold its magnificent ornament after their days on earth

      Nothing there is like to serve He who sits up beyond the blues

      With cordial lilt he walked his way through

      To the lake of glory and happiness, chorusing praises

      To the Lord God Almighty

      THE TRAITOR

      The scuffle was hot and tough

      All fought with great might and valour

      In the hope to retrieve the enemy

      They thrashed and prevailed without hopes

      So that they fumbled demurely into holes

      Not
