Birthday Poem for Pastor Tunde Bakare

ORACLE OF GOD

Oracle of the Most High
You that hast been spoken about
From the days beyond
By the prophet Esaias

'The lord hath called me from the womb
From the bowels of my mother, hath he mentioned my name
And he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword
In the shadow of his hand hath he hid me
And made me a polished shaft
In his quiver hath he hid me
And said unto me
Thou art my servant, O Israel
In whom I will be glorified'

Oracle of God
You that hath seen the heart of God
And hath declared it
You that hath spoken to a nation
In a voice as thin as a thread
But hath sent quakes across the land
And jitters down the spines of the wicked

Oracle of God
Light of this time
Chosen as a watchman
To forewarn men of many evils
Chosen as a lighthouse
To point the path to many brothers
And navigate them back to the way home
Fearless in the truth
A lone voice in dissent
Unwavering in persecution

Oracle of God, know today
That your efforts are not in vain
For in places even where your eyes cannot reach
In places where your foot might not touch
An army rises, loyal to cause of the lord
The cause spoken through your lips
That we can win by righteousness
An army that will free this land that you so love
From the clutches of wickedness and corruption
To Steer the cause of the ship of our nation
Back to the ways of Jehovah
Singing the song
'Nigeria will flourish again!'

Happy Birthday, Pastor B.
