God’s Messenger

Inspired by the book of Malachi

The Lord has always loved humanity
HE loved our ancestors for generations 
His greatness reaches beyond calamity 
But upon sinners He brings destruction 

Children should show honor to their parents 
Servants should be respectful to their master 
Don’t show contempt with false appearance 
Fake offerings will bring disaster 

Make up your minds all you priests
And honor the Lord of Heaven's Armies
Or cursed will be all of your receipts
And punishment comes like tsunamis

The purpose of His covenant
Was to bring us life and abundant peace
This required reverence
So God's favor upon us can increase

Are we not all children of the Heavenly Father?
Were we not all made by the same Creator?
Then why do we lie and cheat on each other?
We are unfaithful and celebrate traitors

The Lord has sent a messenger 
Coming to prepare the way
He comes like a refining fire
Purifying our sins away

Come back to Him and He will return to us
Pay back what is owed to His sanctuary
Watch Him open the heavens and earn to us
A multitude of blessings in our treasury

Let those who fear the Lord tremble in His presence
As His judgment comes burning hot like a furnace
May we soar on His healing wings of righteousness
As our names are written in His scroll of remembrance

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...
