NOT ALWAYS FULL OF ROSES by Kingsley Chidiebele Echewodo

The Truth will always outlive a lie,

When people don't understand, they persecute,

Never be scared to do the right thing,

Never be mindful of what people may say,

Always be closer to God,

Criticism should be a motivating factor for you to keep moving ahead,

Stop giving explanations and excuses,

Why won’t you continue doing good,

Always be closer to God,

In everything you do, think of why you started, 

Think of the impacts you could make

Then you will always see reasons to keep pressing on,

Know that life is not always full of Roses

But it doesn't mean life isn't worth living,

No great man ever succeeded without persecutions,

You are a shining star, to be an Achiever

 But you must put on your fighting armor,

Never allow people's negativity towards you

And your goals make you weary,

If Jesus had stopped at the thought of his pains at Gethsemane

 Or at His three falls on the way to Calvary,

We wouldn't have had the salvation we all celebrate today,

Just now that the world is waiting for your manifestation,

Don't give up, with time your results shall truly reveal your efforts

And those who didn't understand you

Then will surely celebrate with you or forever remain silent,

But always be closer to God.

HERE IS THE SECRET by Joseph C. Ogbu (JoeNwaOgbu)

Proud I will ever pronounce my belief,

With no shame I will stand to defend my faith

Even when battle is higher to stop my stand

Then, I will remain firm not to fall

For I ever know who is behind my steps

And who faithfully equipped me with a secret

That no earthly king or queen can afford.

God thanks for the gift of your Precious Mother

Mother thanks for the gift of your Powerful Rosary

Which has remained a great weapon to us

To the Church and universe at large,

Whichever makes my heart melt with joy

Whenever my eyes see Mom’s Rosary

For I do know the grace lying in it.

Imagine a world without a Mother

Who out of love brought a marvelous gift to her children

Which is nothing but the Holy Rosary,

The powerful prayer of all ages

The mighty ladder to climb and grab heavenly favour

The powerful hammer that breaks every bad yolk

And a lamb that gives light to every dark path.

Oh, what a life without Rosary of My Mother

Never will I separate my heart from your Rosary, Mama

For in it, I daily meditate on the love of Christ to the world

For in it I remember the Mysteries of our Saviour

For in it, remembrance gives to the intercessory and caring nature of Mary

For in it I plead to have a share from Mother's given graces

Which daily flow like a river and remain unfinished.

Mother, gratitude I bring to you for the gift of your Rosary

That often remains a solution in time of predicaments

And a consoler whenever hearts are visited by loneliness,

Remember, in Rosary the poor and rich truly find joy

In it the cries of the weak are easily heard

And sinners grab a heartfelt forgiveness,

Yes, Rosary is an answer to every hidden and unhidden problem.

Mom, if I may forget any prayer, please let it not be yours

If I may ignore any weapon, never will it be Rosary

For in it, liberation and testimony embrace each other

For in it rests peace and growth in virtues

For in it, I remain victorious in Christ

For in it, weakness turns to strength and courage

So! Why not I daily recite the Powerful Rosary of my Mother Mary.

Now, let us make Virgin Mary our Friend and Mother

Through devotion to Her Precious Rosary

Which offers no harm to humans, but uncountable graces

Given to Her by Our Supreme Father

That everyone may come to enjoy from Mother's love

Which She freely gives to anyone who calls upon Her

Not minding one's colour, race or nation.

Mom, today I willingly promise You these

That with you, I will ever have my earthly journey,

That you will ever be my Greatest Mother and Lover

No matter what the world may have in words,

Know that I will ever hold you tight till the end

Know that my life and hope will be nothing without You.

Please Mom, help your children throughout the World

Not to separate from You and Your Holiest Son

Now and forever, Amen.

Love It, Pray It
There is power in Rosary
