Introduction

Today I am here to introduce to you a Poem Book that the Lord has laid upon my heart to write, entitled, “A Wave of Inspirational Poems”.

          Briefly a quick pre-view of who I am and a little background. My name is John Adolphus Hodge, a national of St. Kitts/ St Christopher, Leeward Island, West Indies, born to two Kittitian parents; Mr. Wilfred A Hodge and Mrs. Dolly Agatha Henrietta Hodge, whom God blessed with eight loving, trustworthy, obedient, kind and respectful children, consisting of four girls and four boys of which I am the first boy and number three of all eight children.

          God blessed us with a uniquely-loving and passionately-special God-fearing-mother who gave her heart to the Lord, who heard from God and spent many happy years, ministering the Word of God, on the streets, old-aged-homes, shut-in and hospitals resulting in many people giving their lives to the Lord. While doing this, our mother were living a life for the Lord and training us by example, finally all eight of us gave our lives to the Lord individually for our own - selves. I got saved at the age of 13 years old, on Sunday 30^th May 1967. By a preacher, an Evangelist from Jamaica, a former soldier, T. C. Taylor, nick name Town Counsel and I have never looked back.

          In the year 1999, were the first time in my entire life, I was left all alone, all alone by my self. All alone isn’t any ordinary experience after growing up with a family… a house hold, a crowd of nine people, then a house hold of four and finally left all alone.  This experience of “Loneliness” felt like a prison, with the iron-gate seriously closing on me.  With this new experienced, I paused and freezed then looking at the present situation of my life, I had to make a life-changing decision. I finally “Prayed” to God, pouring out my hearts desire, choosing to positively following into my mother’s footsteps of “Constant Prayer and Fasting, daily seeking His face and ministering the Word of God in every form and fashion as God the Holy Spirit leads. It was at this point of my life God gave me this instant “Inspiration” to writing these “Poems” and this is how this Poem Book got its name, entitled, “A Wave of Inspirational Poems”.

          Then in 2005, 4^th October, it was the turning point where all this begins, attending a Crusade, held in St. Kitts by an Evangelist from Tennessee, USA, Evangelist, Rev; Pastor, Rita Partin Spaulding, A Servant of the Most High God, who received a Word from God for me through a Word of Prophecy. This is the place, time and point where God “Arrested” me, did a U-turn in my life, ripped-up and totally destroyed my “Plans and Purposes” which I had for my life and replacing it with His new compass pointing me to His “Will, Plans, Purpose and directions for my life of; Places, Visions, Dreams and Revelations as He continues to speaks to me.

I am a Christian/born-again child of God… many people today; are not aware and some do not believe that God still speaks to man today as He did to His Prophets in the past in the Bible, simply because most Christians do not know the “Voice” of God…which is very dangerous both for them and even more so, this too can be detrimentally-disastrous to even a nation and furthermore to the whole-world. Yes! God still speaks to some people, and reveals hidden and secret-things which is relevant for today and the future, through ways of; dreams, visions and revelations. And these Poems are not poem of rhymes or rhythms but carries messages, dealing with our daily way of living, dreams and revelations” from God, as He constantly reveals Himself to me, and for me to share with the world at large.

Also the financial proceeds of this Poem Book are going to do three main things; a) to help the poor and needy (any human…as Jesus would have done). b) To help in the spreading of the Gospel. c) To practically teach this present generation how to receive God’s divine blessings and benefits by obeying His written Word. This is an unbroken Covenant/Vow between God and me.
