THEN MY LIVING IS NOT IN VAIN
If in life I find the road that lead to the Cross
And by faith apply the atoning blood for cleansing
If truly am saved & genuinely saved
Then my living may not be in vain
If I can lighten up someone's darkness
And make him find a reason for living
If I bring joy to the gloomy in mind
Then my living may not be in vain
If I can help somebody who is in need
And help him get to find a means of survival
Through which he can be fulfilled
Then my living may not be in vain
If I can cheer up the broken hearted
And help him fill up the created cracks
That he can be up on his feet again
Then my living may not be in vain
If I can be a channel of blessings to others
To help them through darksome times
That they in turn build up a wall of support
Then my living may not be in vain
If I can give food for those who are hungry
That some people can have their stomach filled
If the hungry can be fed by me
Then my living may not be in vain
If I can give a cup of water to the thirsty
And I can quench the dryness in that throat
And bring a soothing relief to the athirst
Then my living may not be in vain
If I help with words of encouragement
That the wearied and weakened are raised
And finds hope and reason to live
Then my living may not be in vain
If I run so well with the given vision
And didn't give it off for any reason
If I escape the snares of temptations
Then my living may not be in vain
If I remember to teach my children
The eternal words of my Saviour
And they hold this Creed as their magnacarta
Then my living may not be in vain
If I can combine spiritual success with my academic pursuit
And I am not wanting in my matrimonial duties
If I am able to have a balance in these
Then my living may not be in vain
If I keep and contend for the faith
That in the scriptures can be read in me
And my life lead others to Christ
Then my living may not be in vain
If I am able to raise the banner of holiness
That my identity is that of His righteousness
And refute affiliations with the world's practices
Then my living may not be in vain
If I am able to preach the gospel
To the young and the old either male or female
That I might by all means save some
Then my living may not be in vain
If my talent is used to populate heaven
And the kingdom of hell suffers a great loss
And I set up a joyful celebration for the Angels
Then my living may not be in vain
If I be a man of God in truth
Who is not a failure in my day-to-day work
And I am not a reproach to His kingdom
Then my living may not be in vain
If I spend quality time to pray always
Such that I can talk with God as much as I do with men
And my voice has a special recognition in heaven
Then my living may not be in vain
If I can make mark in the sand of time
That even at my demise there is a remembrance
That I did all I could for the Kingdom
Then my living may not be in vain
If my whole being be so used to God
And He is so used to me
That He initiates all I do
Then my living may not be in vain
If my life be so lived in Holiness till death
And till last breath didn't compromise my faith
If I live in purity till I cross the eternal border
Then my living is not in vain
If by the side of the river of life
I open my eyes only to behold
The incomprehensible beauty my Bible had told me of
Then my living is not in vain
If I finally find myself in that celestial city
Where the streets are made of gold
And I hear welcome home at last, enter into eternal rest
It is only then I can boldly say that "my living on this side of heaven is not in vain"
THE TRUTH 3
TRUTH IS FALLEN IN THE STREET
Oh Truth! The authenticity of fact
Oh Truth! The validation of reality
Oh Truth! The immaculate idea
Oh Truth! The originality of precepts
Oh Truth! Sold out in quest for fame
Oh Truth! Given off because of fleshly demand
Oh Truth! Relegated because of power
Oh Truth! Abandoned because of riches
Truth is taken with levity
Truth is fallen in the street
Truth is misconstrued as a fallacy
Truth is considered outdated
TRUTH has lost its stance
Many have chosen the antiparallel of TRUTH. Truth have been traded with
Falsity and corruption have found there way into dominance
TRUTH has been betrayed by many devotee.
Hope have been dashed and betrayed
Insincerity is of more preference
And TRUTH is treated as if its valueless
"And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for TRUTH IS FALLEN IN THE STREET, and EQUITY CANNOT ENTER
... and the LORD SAW IT, AND IT DISPLEASED HIM that there was NO JUDGMENT". Isaiah 59:14-15 (KJV)
"BUT IT IS HAPPENED UNTO THEM"
The scriptures talked about it
I've heard it in stories.
It happen in films
I have also seen it in real life
"... the sow (pig) that was washed to her wallowing in the mire"
It is a pitiable condition to be. It is an unpalatable scene to behold. When a well washed pig decides to go back to the dirts from which she was cleansed. When this happens:
- It renders the labour of the washer useless
- It creates an impression of ingratitude
- It makes mockery of the owners efforts
- It gives the younger ones license to follow in like manner
- It grieve the owner
This case of "the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire" explains the condition of a backslider. It means he has been a Christian before who believes the totality of the word of God but along the line went back to the evil he has once rejected and renounced. It us an evil predicted to be preeminent in the last days. Many a youth have followed this abjuratory lifestyle of pigs.
Backsliding is a snare and a trap set by the devil to pull down or bring back one who has been on the right track of the truth. It is aimed at making him refute the totality of the truth he has once believed, preached and defended. It weakens such a one's spiritual understanding to the extent that it becomes difficult for him/her to agree that his new style of belief is wrong. It emboldens its victims such that they can defend the present error publicly more than the way they could even have done for the original they once had.
It is a situation deserving an inciting pity when a vibrant Christian suddenly turns around to belief a form of gospel that is against the genuineness of the gospel.
This cancer of backsliding eats up the possibility of returning to the original truth in its victims and leaves them with an a large space filled with falsified gospels. The victim finds no reason to see that he has changed his direction of path. And that danger lies ahead in this new route.
The major reason the devil is doing this is just to make those who could have been strong pillars in the house of God to become caterpillars. The devil makes use of the spiritual noesis to destroy that which is true by simply altering the truth they have already known. This can only be done in two ways - either by adding a little to it to make it look like what is not or by removing something from it to make it accommodating.
Little do the victims know that they have given off their mansions in heaven and that they have started a foundation of eternal pains and regrets.
It pains me when I hear of people who have been fervent in the Lord and decides to turn away from the Lord. Though I know there will be falling away before Christ returns the second time but I know that His grace is still sufficient to see those who are determined through.
"I have decided to quit the way of sin and Satan
I have given a quit notice to the world and its lust
I have lost it all, the sensitivity to sin
I have bidden devil farewell never to be entangled
I have decided to follow the path of the cross
I have counted the cost and I cannot give up
I hold on to the totality of the scripture
I have vowed a vow and will not recount
I have chosen the path of life, Lead me Lord
I have declared Christ as Lord, see me Through
I have a crown to wear, Redeemer, hold me
The fort I hold, Your grace is enough for me"
THE PREEMINENCE OF HOLINESS
True Oh true brother!
Holiness was their watchword when they began
They could do nothing without approaching the throne of grace
Their holy living with grace got them special anointing
But the anointing got intoxicated along the way
That the foundation of holiness was dropped
Before long grace fell of their life
Unknown that they also had fallen off grace
They continue alone with anointing
They were not conscious of the two wings
On which the anointing lies
Holiness and grace they refuted
Alas! It was over when they passed away
They thought it was the matter of anointing
Until they arrived the pearly gate
Anointing is needed on earth was on the inscription he saw
But boldly underlying was HOLINESS IS THE KEY TO ENTER HERE (HEAVEN)
Down they had to go along the rail
Never knew how all got drained
Gently down the dangerous steep they move
Unknown to them that the time of grace has expired
They thought it was the matter of anointing
But they forgot that the foundation of holiness and grace should never be neglected
That if they want their anointing to carry them to a holy place (heaven)
Their heads must not lack the ointment of grace
Neither should their be a trace of unholiness in their life
Unfortunately, they have found themselves in the dreadful path
To a place where they will holy men never go
True is it that they had the anointing but because holiness was missing
They missed heaven and sank down in hell
There are more HOLY men in Heaven than ANOINTED men.
There are SOME Anointed men in hell but NO Holy man in hell.
HOLINESS is a MUST... ANOINTING is a Plus.
Therefore, be holy, live holy & stay holy
In June, you will JUBILATE
In June, you experience UPLIFTMENT
In June, you'll prevail over "NO"
In June evil will ELUDE you
In June, you'll have Jubilations Unlimited Now and Ever
Welcome to JUNE 2017
