Touched by God

About the Book

Touched by God is an eclectic collection of soul-searching and motivational poems inspired by the Holy Spirit. It has several chapters, each with its compilation of germane poems to uplift, challenge, and bless. Poems on prayer prepare the way, allowing faith to usher in the promise of God’s Word timely fulfilled. You will become cognizant of the love of God as it emanates from the very pages. Your faith will be taken to new heights as you engage the poems on faith and courage. The way of the Word and obedience will reinforce the foundational importance of the God’s Word in our lives. In a world of increasing perplexities, this book offers hope to a people who will direct their minds to be in touch with God. The rallying call to all in such times is epitomized in the scripture Psalm 94:14, “For the Lord will not cast off His people, nor will He forsake His inheritance.” Touched by God is a light that shines in a gloomy world spiraling out of control. It enables man to know that there is a blessed hope available. The only real hope man can embrace is through contact with the omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent God, who alone knows the heart of man and the issues that spring forth. There is no better place to be than to be drawing ever, being in touch with him. The words contained in the book come with no bias to those who are already in touch with God or to those yet to know God the creator. The spirit-filled messages will enrich the lives of all—man’s soul no longer disquieted, the peace of God assuming control. Read with an open mind and allow yourself to be touched by God.

About the Author

Born in London, I attended church from the age of ten and developed a personal relationship with God soon after. When you are in the iron-fisted grip of a spiritual mother, one does not have the option of refusal to go to church. Through hardships and loss, I have witnessed from personal experience the very hand of God on my life in remarkable ways. When all appeared lost, the power and presence of God was evident when hope seemed elusive. Poignantly I can identify with the writings of Paul the apostle, who stated in Philippians 4:12–13, “Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Spurred on by the prompting of the Holy Spirit, I began writing via e-mails as a way of getting the message of the Gospel across to a small number of then work colleagues. When religious meetings were banned, the Spirit of God enabled me to know the Word could not be contained. Writing became a way of expression as the Holy Spirit would commune with me on matters pertaining to life, empowering with the knowledge that in reaching out to God, all things are indeed possible. My prayer is that through the dynamic, resurrecting power of the knowledge of God’s Word, the sick would be healed and the poor enriched to become a people characterized by the Word. There is life in the Word of God. Once you have the encounter, your life will never be the same again. I speak as one who has been touched by God.
