Inspiring the world
We will run
We will fight
We will endure
Because
The greater one
Lives in us.
He lives in us
To guide us
To protect us
To teach us.
In our Christian race,
He is constantly
Enabling us
And empowering
Us to greater heights.
When we run
We do not
Lose hope
Or get weary
Because the king of glory
Is with us and within us.
Echoes of the past
Take over my soul
As I remember
The sins of my youth
Echoes of the past
Torture me
As guilt wraps it’s ugly
Hands around my tired soul
I toss and torn
In my bed
On a cold winter night
In Cincinnati
Troubled and uncertain
I get up from my bed
To get some water
Then I heard Him say,
” You have been cleansed
From past sins,
Your sins are forgiven
And forgotten
Your punishments are cancelled
Cleanse yourself from guilty conscience
And believe
Just believe
And watch my glory come upon you.
I love you.”
As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace: (1 Peter 4:10 ESV)
Stewards of grace
Custodians of His light
Ransomed to be
The light of the world
May we never
Disgrace the grace
Of God
Or drive people away from
The light
Because of our actions
May the bride of Christ
Not hurt
Those they should protect
Because of error
God of all grace
Crown us
With the fullness
Of your grace
Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. ” (1 Peter 5:5 ESV)
Humility
Our beautiful and handsome clock
Despised by men
But highly loved by God
In humility Jesus won
In humility Moses was victorious
In humility Paul was
In complete submission
Words cannot tell
Enough about the
Benefits of humility
Who can look down
On you precious virtue
O pretty one
Only the sons of darkness
And the unwise
We will embrace
You humility
Fruit of light
And the foundation
Of Obedience
We will cherish you
The way Jesus did
Because God opposes the proud
But gives grace to
The humble
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? (Romans 8:31 NKJV)
Who can be against us
When the Creator
Of all is with us
We will not fear
Man or demons
Death, hell and the grave
Death could not hold Him down
He is Lord above death
He holds captivity captive
He has the keys of death and life
He defeated death hell and the grave
He fought with death
And won
He won for us
All power belongs to Jesus
All authority in heaven and earth
Has been given to Him
He is supreme
He is highly exalted
Over all things
Praise God!
Jesus won the victory
Over death and punishment
Praise God!
Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it. (Colossians 2:15 NKJV)
He fought
He won
He made a mockery
Of death and the grave
The mighty One
Is a warrior
A great man of war
He fights evil
He defeats evil
He loves righteousness
Thank you Jesus
For you alone defeated death
And set us free
If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him! (Matthew 7:11 NKJV)
If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!” (Luke 11:13 NKJV)
It is important to note that this scripture says, those who ask. It did not say those who wish or desire. Desire is very good and we must start with desire, however we must verbalise our desire by asking. We must formally present our desire to God in prayer.
I indeed baptise you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptise you with the Holy Spirit and fire. (Matthew 3:11 NKJV)
God wants us to get to that point where we realise that without him we can do nothing. This is the place complete surrender and absolute dependence and reliance on God.
We need the Holy Spirit more than air and oxygen, and that realisation is actually great wisdom. Wisdom however comes from God.
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. (James 1:5 NKJV)
God will keep leading us step by step until we get to that place where we treasure Christ’s Spirit like the hidden treasure in the parables of Jesus. When that man stumbled upon the hidden treasure he forsook all else for the sake of hidden treasure.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field (Matthew 13:44 NKJV)
The Holy Spirit is the one who makes the Kingdom of heaven manifest or visible on earth. He makes you experience the tangible presence of God with heavenly visions and dreams.
Jesus said that the Kingdom of God is within us. All we need is to ask God for good things and the greatest good thing is the Holy Spirit and fire.
Baptised by fire
I stand tall
In a world
Of weakness and fear
Baptised by fire
In Him I reign
Against the forces of hell
Becoming an untouchable
Baptized by fire
I become His beloved
By experiencing His love
I become the apple of His eyes
I become His pride and delight
Baptised by fire
I fulfil destiny
The owner of my soul
Will indeed be pleased
That I have fulfilled
The purpose of my
Existence on earth
Come, Holy Spirit
