My truth test
I am not there yet.
But, oh my,
What could be
If I would, if I could
Get this right.
My truth test
I am not there yet,
But I can see it in the horizon
I get goosebumps when I think of what could be
If that truth,
becomes my truth.
You see,
I now know
that truth makes you free.
So if ‘it’ is truth,
then it must make me free
So, now I ask myself
Can it make me free?
Is it making me free?
If yes,
it is truth
If no,
It is not truth
If it is truth, then
Can it make me live IMPOSSIBLY?
Or does it tell me that I am limited by my capacities or incapacities?
Can it make me do IMPOSSIBLE THINGS?
Or does it tell me to stick to what I can see with my natural or sourish eyes?
Can it make God real to me?
Or does it tell me that God is a figment of a dreamer’s imaginations?
If it is truth, then,
Can it help me live selflessly?
Or does it tell me that I am number 1, in this life, and in the one to come?
Can it help me love genuinely?
Or does it tell me that love is love only when it is given to me first?
Can it help me serve the undeserving?
Or does it build qualification tests that the needy have to pass, before they can get my help?
If it is truth, then
Does it give me a pass for being reacting to the brokenness of life, by being broken myself?
Or does it help me RISE above my pain, and find healing in impossible places?
Does it encase my heart in anger and prejudice?
Or does it help me forgive the unforgiveable?
Does it compel me to look for love in places and with souls who can only dish out counterfeits?
Or does it draw me in to respond to the Lover of my Soul?
Most importantly…
Does it make me GOD, in my own eyes
Or does it make me a CHILD of GOD?
Does it build mountains between me and God
Or does it call me in, to that sweet place, where the God of all the earth dwells?
Does it entrench the idea that God is a mystery
Or does it unravel me lovingly, as my eyes open to SEE who God really is?
And when that TRUTH
becomes my truth,
When that TRUTH
shapes my reality,
Is the darkness that has shrouded around me dispelled?
And when I open my eyes, do I see…
JESUS?
My truth test
You see,
I now know
that truth makes you free.
So if ‘it’ is truth,
then it must make me free
So, now I ask myself
Can it make me free?
Is it making me free?
“And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” – JESUS

The B.O.O.M Walk Program by Toyin Oladiran
We all come from somewhere. We all have our battle scars. We all have those life experiences, past or even ongoing, that have forced us into shadowy corners in our lives, preventing us from living fully, loving fully and most of all, serving God to the uttermost.
Some of us have carried on in this way, and gone on to do life ‘normally’, to become pastors, engineers, fathers, builders, lovers, secretaries, government officials, wives, teachers, sports coaches, gym instructors, you name it. Yet many are living a façade; a classic tale of smokes and mirrors. Many are carrying around, and being defined by those pivotal life experiences. Many have learnt to accept that this is just the way life is – living with and from the baggage.
What’s your scar? Where does it come from? Is it still driving your thoughts and responses to life? Are you tired of your scars keeping you wedged off into the fringes and sidelines of life, constantly angry, bitter, frustrated, rejected, insecure, proud, self-righteous … etc?
That’s what you and I will be tackling with the HOLY SPIRIT in The B.O.O.M WALK PROGRAM.💥
This Program is for EVERYONE…
…Yes, I said EVERYONE!
Be careful now. Do not think that only people who struggle with what we erroneously call ‘the big sins’ like murder, slavery, adultery etc struggle with the ‘Old Man’ (‘B.O.O.M’ stands for ‘bow out, Old Man’). Yes those are reflections of the ‘Old Man’ at work, but for the vast majority of people, the traits of the ‘Old Man’ are way more subtle, and internal.
I’m talking anger, bitterness, unforgiveness, self-righteousness, pride, fear, insecurity, rebellion against God, inferiority complex, lack of self-control…the list can go on.
The ‘Old Man’ thrives in secrecy… it’s all about the state of the mind, isn’t it?
Come on. Do not be afraid! And do not settle for more of the same!
Click here now to indicate your interest and to begin to prepare your heart and your spaces. The kind of transformation we are talking about here does not come by the click of a finger, neither does it come by lurking in a spectator’s seat. You need to take a bold step, own who you are and where you are at, and come along, for The B.O.O.M Walk Program.
I cannot WAIT to work with you. And if I am so excited about it, imagine how God, the Incredible Lover of your soul feels?😉
