THE TRUTH
I picked my pen, faced down, head bow, deep thoughts, and wrote out this poem;
Addressed first to myself, then to you, and to everyone out there;
To stop believing lies disguised as truth only to capitalize on your pocket-size knowledge of the actual truth;
This lies have eaten deep into the core of the Christian family,
and many are preys swayed and outplayed by its flawed crusade;
Tricking you to consideration of their false presentation of who you are, have been and will be.
If you are still thinking of what to believe;
Then listen, this is the TRUTH before you; TAKE it, KEEP it, UNDERSTAND it, and DO it;
Else, the world is calling for your attention;
But remember EARNESTLY CONTEND.
It is without doubt, He is coming for His bride;
And you as well as I have to keep our lamps burning and shining bright when He comes.
The world will tell you your oil can never run out;
But remember, EARNESTLY CONTEND.
Your faith was never built on sand;
NO! it has its engravings on a rock and HOLINESS is its seal;
The world presents an easier version;
But remember EARNESTLY CONTEND.
I beg you, the road is not easy and its not a ride in the park;
But be encouraged, light shines at the end of the tunnel;
“with ease it is”, the world says;
But remember EARNESTLY CONTEND
I tell you, family, friends and the whole world will despise you;
But let them understand that you weren’t in this to make friends;
The world will not stop seducing you;
But remember, EARNESTLY CONTEND
Its not just about being a Christian, NO! it’s about being Christ-like;
Difference should be your motto, it distinguished the disciples;
The world will expect you to still be the same you;
But remember, EARNESTLY CONTEND.
You are not the old you, you are not the same you;
The sinning you departed, make sure to never let it show its head again;
The world will present to you sin again, because itself is sin;
But remember EARNESTLY CONTEND.
Your life is not yours again, you have been sold out;
God is your buyer and now your owner, Christ His son was the currency;
The world is still in the market; it wants you;
But remember, EARNESTLY CONTEND.
Christ has authored your faith;
And believe me, only he will finish and perfect it, but HOLY you must live;
The world will tell you “salvation is enough”;
But remember EARNESTLY CONTEND.
The law is not your master again, you now have the almighty password, GRACE;
Christ has bridged the gap and opened up the path to the father;
Yes, the world will tell you the same;
But remember EARNESTLY CONTEND.
The greatest ever mistake of the devil, he allowed Christ to go to the CROSS;
For this, he has lost you already; but still he never gives up;
The world will tell you not to care;
But remember EARNESTLY CONTEND.
Yes rejoice, you are now a new creation,
But it doesn’t end there! Let Christ be fully formed in you;
The world will tell you “salvation is all”
But remember EARNESTLY CONTEND.
You confessed your sins, you believed; alas! SALVATION;
Recall that what separated you before was sin, never let it back in;
The world will say “sin is not a boundary again”;
But remember, EARNESTLY CONTEND.
I tell you, only he who is Holy will see God;
If you must be a Christian, you do not have a choice; HOLINESS must be your nature;
The world will tell you “salvation is all”.
But remember, EARNESTLY CONTEND.
Can’t you see it, SIN drove satan from heaven;
Do you seriously think God will allow a minute of it back up there! NEVER;
The world will tell you “your sin is nothing”, carry on;
But remember, EARNESTLY CONTEND.
Jesus never came to abolish the law, NO, He actually fulfilled it;
The righteous requirements of the law still holds! And you must keep it;
The world will only say “you are not under the law”;
But remember, EARNESTLY CONTEND.
If you must claim to be a Christian, then pray, study and keep to His Word;
Remember faith comes by the Word;
The world will say something similar;
But remember, EARNESTLY CONTEND.
True Christianity presented to the world is to them being an extremist;
I don’t blame them, they have never seen nor known Christ, so they cannot understand;
The world and its desires are passing away;
But remember, EARNESTLY CONTEND.
Hmm, only two pathways are available;
One is WIDE and accepts anything and anyone, the other NARROW and has a pass-card, Righteousness;
The world and the false Christians/believers are on the former;
But remember, EARNESTLY CONTEND.
The two roads are easily accessible, but the latter has a gate-fee, Holiness
One leads to destruction, the other Life (eternal);
The world already knows its end, destruction;
But remember, if you EARNESTLY CONTEND, by his grace, the latter is your end.
I say it again, He’s coming for his bride the church;
You are the church he’s coming for, and he must meet you HOLY.
