Phillipians

From a slave of Christ Jesus
To God's people so zealous
May you be full of His grace
And of His peacefulness

I am grateful for you my dear partners
As we confirm the truth in His special favor
He who began the good work within you
Until Christ returns, will His work continue

We must live as citizens of heaven
United in spirit with faith as a weapon
Not intimidated by our enemies
But assured by serving in HIs embassy

Let us agree wholeheartedly with each other 
Loving one another and working together 
With one mind and one purpose 
Each of us burning hot as God’s furnace 

We should do everything without complaining 
So to us no one can be criticizing  
Living as children of God so innocent 
Shining brightly and so magnificent

Don't think religious devotion as priceless
Compared to Christ it is worthless
Infinite value is knowing Him as Lord
Everything else should be discarded

Jesus submitted to God in obedience 
Then elevated to the highest place
As He died a criminal upon a cross
He is Christ our Lord so glorious 

Forget the past, press ahead and look forward
Reach the end of the race and receive your reward
Eagerly waiting for Christ to return
So the prize won has been rightfully earned

Be full of joy, again I say rejoice!
Shout His name and raise your voice
Pray about everything and always thank Him
For His peace will guard our hearts against sin

Fix our hearts on what is true and honorable
Right, pure, lovely, and admirable
Think about things that are excellent and worthy
Keeping the faith and giving Him glory

The True Enemy

Inspired by Numbers 25 & Matthew Henry's commentary While the Israelites were camped at Acacia Grove To defile themselves the men willingly chose Seduced by Moabite women and their deities Making the Lord angry and release His fury Rapport with the wicked is more harmful than enmity It is our immoral desires that is the true enemy Giving into worldly interests and its pleasures Forgetting to put the Lord at our core and center Let us execute His vengeance in zeal and faith To remain in His good graces and holy estate So God may make a special covenant of peace And His divine favor upon us may increase God punishes the wicked not with a rod But with swords exposing their profane facade Punishing those who tempt others to fail While His righteousness will always prevail

More Than Conquerers

Inspired by Matthew Henry's  commentary  on Numbers chapter 21 Before our march to the Promised Land We may find ourselves in enemy's hands But let us look thoroughly to the Lord Our only way to keep moving forward So instead of Arad, we have Hormah As the enemy's sins are enormous God will bring about their destruction His love for His children brings protection But as we continue on our journey We can be impatient and be in a hurry Then complain about the Lord's provision Bringing about the Lord's derision The serpent comes back to bite at our heels Making our grievances his meal Our very lives does he greedily steal Making us look up so we can be healed Look up and see the serpent of bronze Do not fear death that corresponds The venom may stir up our sinful passions But only the Lord can bring salvation Do not forget and always remember When God blessed us with living water Our expectations should be tempered And only rely on His Grace and His Favor Wicked men tr...
