Don't Faint in Faith - Poem

DON’T FAINT IN FAITH

“For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory” 2cor 4:17

O Christian, faint not, you are almost through

What God has spoken, shall He not make it good?

O saints, these troubles are only for a while

Think if you know what lies ahead you would smile

Even if you are the only one in a room of eight

And many other older converts have been caught by men’s sleight

Hear the voice of the One who holds His saints

Saying, “Groan in prayer as you must but NEVER FAINT”

For the joy before Him Christ endured the cross

Now you know he never suffered a loss

For this limited time manage to bear the pain

So for eternity you would reap an endless gain

Why Christ tarries is for us to double up our efforts

Let everyone leave the walls and forget comfort

Let’s go east, west, south, and north

As we tell the whole world OUR TIME IS SO SHORT!

The Peace Christ Made - The War is Over!

Hurray! The War is Over!!!

Speak... comfortably to Jerusalem... that her warfare is accomplished... (Isaiah 40:2)

And in that day thou shalt say, O LORD, I will praise thee: though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me. (Isaiah 12:1)

Our message is that God was making all human beings his friends through Christ... We were sent to speak for Christ, and GOD IS BEGGING YOU TO LISTEN to our message. (2 Corinthians 5:19 GNB, 20 CEV emphasis mine)

Roll out the drums, IT IS FINISHED!

Celebration for a MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

Heaven gates are now open so freely

IT’S FOR REAL, come on in to the holies

God and man in a new pact

Heart to heart touching, just like that?

A relationship in fellowship can now start

Even angels would wish to say “congrats!”

WHY ARE YOU CAST DOWN?

“Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my help and my God.” PSALMS 42:11 (RSV)

When tears roll down your cheek like a child who can’t see His lights

When you try to look out for a ray of hope through the nights

Try to see if you can see a reason to move on but can’t find one

If only you could see someone to share burdens with but found none

When all you could see is a destiny going into a waste bin

Though all an external observer could see is the grin

Food shortage imminent as penury hits harder at the door

And the results of your exams knock you down to the floor

When grief possesses the merry portion of your heart

But you see the ungodly men everyday grow fat

When the gate of death seem to have taken over your world

And you try to pray, but your torment come and make you bored

DON'T BEAR WITH FEAR

FEAR is False Evidence Appearing Real
With whom every ambitious must have to deal

It comes at every verge of triumph
And causes the weak things to show themselves tough
When you are just at the point of breakthrough
Then your ‘giant’ shows up to laugh at you

Only when your senses permit, fear penetrates
When you see how big the giant is, you faint
If you had never heard that snakes do bite
Would you have feared walking the bush even at night?

If you had never heard about the ways thieves rob
You won’t have seen any reason locking up your shop

FEAR IS EVERYWHERE
Oh! But you can’t go about blocking your ears
Neither will you keep the eyes closed to resist fear
In fact leave that environment and go elsewhere
Fear is everywhere and waiting for you there!

When fear comes knocking your gate
Don’t bear with it! Declare the words of FAITH
Recall how God has helped you overcome in the past
Seeing your weakest bold face, fear flees so fast
…to be continued, you win over the demon at last
