God keeps His promises, His word Archives - Page 9 of 20

‘Fishing’ or ‘Sitting’ Churches?

So pray, that ‘sitting’ churches
Obey Jesus, ‘tis His will
Daily outreach, reproducing
His Great Commission, to fulfill.

So, we celebrate Christmas
But are missing the Messiah
No manger no mention
Of our need, to look higher.

Now, in place of carnal thinking
That feed our feelings, reactions
We’re renewed, in our minds
And godly thoughts, lead to actions.

The soldiers were gambling
For Jesus’ garments to win
Concerned with the outer
So blind to their sin.

This mystery unfolded
God reached out as man
As the Lord of Creation
As Messiah, His plan.

But ‘Agape’ love
The heart of God’s nature
Is selfless, sacrificial
There is no love greater.

His purpose is cleansing
Like gold refined pure
That our lives, should reflect
His glory, yet more.

So, daily cleave to God’s Word
And set your mind above
Keep proclaiming, God’s promises
Denounce the devil, declare God’s love.

Instead, Jesus commands us
To love, even our foe
So live not, based on feelings
Obey Jesus, and grow.

So, each offence forgive
Repent, be reconciled
Be freed from those burdens
Pray God’s love, be recognized.
