Burgalry Series (2) Robbers Came AGAIN!

Robbers came again.
They think it’s a game.
Reaping where they have not sown
dispossessing , desecrating.
destroying, dislocating,
Found rich picking.

Hungry for laptops,
They broke from the top
Surprisingly no one could stop
Their madness, blindness,
Boldness, brazenness, wickedness,
nonchalance and defiance.

Sent by their master,
It’s their bellies that matter.
Neighbour’s hedges clambered,
Using improvised stair-case
from hell, you can easily tell.
They’ve vowed to make this a base
From which to plunder and rape,
The redeemed, blood-bought, blood-kept.

But He who sits in heaven laughs.
He knows the redeemed will have the last laugh.
The tough gets going, growing stronger, glowing brighter,
When the going gets tougher and rougher.

The foe says, ‘ I will pursue,
I will overtake and spoil.’

But listen to Faithful and True,
“I will bless mine super-abundantly.
I will anoint them with fresh oil.
All your wicked plans I will foil.
Plan your plans they will be annulled.
They will not stand
My command will stand.
Your wicked schemes
will not work at all.
Your house and strategies
will crumble and fall.
I will raise the apple of my eyes
and make them tall.
Your fiery darts will return to you
Like a boomerang.
The redeemed will Passover and Prosper.
They will triumph through this trial.
For I give an appointment,
Even through disappointments.

Two months after they came
( August 18 2008), looting my laptop, Bible, microphone, cash cards and credit card- using the cards to top up their mobile phone, buglers invaded again on Oct 20.

This time they stole the laptop of my friend and co –tenant and also broke into another tenant’s room. That tenant is not in town so we are not sure what may have been stolen.
They attempted to enter my room again but this time the angel of the Lord prevented them. They broke the handle of my door but could not get into the room.

This poem was the result of that violation of my property.
I hope these poems encourage you as you go through your trials.
The thief is the same- Satan. He only comes through various channels.
He came to steal, kill and destroy.
But Jesus came to give us life and life in its fullness.
