God - our faith depositor<br />

Oreoluwa Oyelade (13 years old)<br />

God has many names but have you ever seen him as a spiritual<br />

banker in your life? If not, then you have missed one <strong>of</strong> God’s<br />

names - faith depositor. He gives us faith when we need it! Just as<br />

we ask Him for wisdom to pass an exam, we also ask for help in<br />

times <strong>of</strong> need, for jobs when we face unemployment and for healing<br />

when we are sick, so too we need to ask for faith to receive miracles.<br />

Here are some reasons why I call Him our faith depositor:<br />

• He supplies courage when you’re afraid<br />

• He is a God <strong>of</strong> love<br />

• He helps us through challenges<br />

• He is always there for you<br />

• He will provide you with what you need when you need it<br />

• He is a God <strong>of</strong> endless supplies<br />

• He can never fail<br />

• He will always be there for you<br />

God has always been in the business <strong>of</strong> supplying faith just as a<br />

bank is in the business <strong>of</strong> providing money. If you deposit cash, it<br />

means you have money in the bank, therefore, when you deposit<br />

faith, it means you have more power. What do you do with the faith<br />

you withdraw? You use it to experience God’s miracles.<br />

How is your faith account? If you always obey God and love<br />

God you have a high score in the faith bank. However, if you don’t<br />

listen to God you have a low score. You must know that you can<br />

improve your score by listening to God. When God wants to give<br />

you a miracle, you must withdraw some faith from your account<br />

and apply it toward solving your problem. To build up your faith,<br />

trust in God and His Word for your life.<br />

I wish - Joy Edem (17 years old)<br />

Sometimes I wish I were a picture<br />

Why?<br />

Because a picture remains the same<br />

a picture never changes<br />

a picture never forgets<br />

a picture captures the past<br />

a picture speaks <strong>of</strong> the future<br />

a picture seizes a moment in time<br />

and a picture reflects on it.<br />

But who am I?<br />

I’m constantly changing<br />

I never remain the same<br />

I have trouble remembering<br />

I <strong>of</strong>ten forget<br />

I don’t know my future<br />

The past is just that, past<br />

I can never say “This moment...” because moments<br />

are only in the past, never in the present<br />

A picture never ages,<br />

A picture always lasts<br />

But I am constantly maturing<br />

I’m aging fast<br />

A picture makes you think<br />

I only make you wonder<br />

A picture touches your heart<br />

a place I’m not allowed to wander<br />

I wish we were a picture,<br />

A picture <strong>of</strong> you and I.<br />
