Poetry
How can anyone picture?
God’s kingdom or know its texture
Whereof, its citizens have their fixture?
Through parables answers come as gesture
Like a pearl that’s precious
Like leaven in spreading gospel is ferocious
Like a child in its acts so hilarious
Like mustard seed becoming a tree so boisterous
God’s kingdom has a vision
To execute it has a mission
Good news is preached in unison
Souls enter after sin remission
In summary nothing is better
Rejoice with fellowmen as go-getters
Doing good in this life span
That’s the gift of God to man
Not just hearing God’s word
But holding it as sword
In God’s kingdom one must stand
Who desires to join Christ’s band
Son of God is Christ
Son of man is Christ
God as man is Christ
Seek His kingdom first
Everywhere blessings do rain
With continuous ‘holy’ refrain
No pain even death is gain
No stain, no efforts in vain
Not eating and drinking
But being peaceful and rejoicing
Not suffering or being glum
But joy dances as you hum
I heard about trees that sing
Glory of King of kings
Concerts of angels makes you sing
Whilst good news they do bring
Time is fulfilled take your stand
For the kingdom of God is at hand
Repent and believe the Gospel
For that alone darkness would dispel
Impact to understand of the above message
John the Baptist you must envisage
Preaching in a wilderness passage
Honey and locust being his meal dosage
Herodias wanted to put an end
To behead John, therefore she did send
Her daughter to Herod on a queer errand
With act completed, she thought, “I’ve put an end”
God’s kingdom receives great care
To put an end, would anyone dare?
John’s baton Christ held upon his martyrdom
With same words explained God’s kingdom
Homosexuals, sodomites, thieves, fornicators
Adulterers, enviers, murderers
Revilers, covetous, idolaters
Drunkards, extortioners – the list never alters
Beware! Do not be deceived
Above unrighteous people never inherited
The kingdom of God that is coveted
For they have not repented.
Someone was stopped at the gateway
Before entering the King’s highway
Long runs the grand pathway
Records qualified his walk that way
An experience called ‘born-again’
Is essential for anyone to gain
Entry into His kingdom a wonderland
I surmise there’s golden sand
Conditions apply one cannot sway
Meet God’s standard come what may
You’ll progress with power each day
In this tent until thou doth stay
Tax-collectors and harlots
Got privileged entry as a special lot
When God their mistake did spot
They repented being pricked at heart
Can you of any man perceive?
Who approached Christ but did not receive
Expected miracles in his life to conceive
Unfortunately ‘eternal life’ to him did deceive
Does your eye cause you to sin?
Pluck and fling it into a bin
To enter His kingdom flee from sin
Else, into hell fire will be thrown
Through needle’s eye, a camel can travel
For a rich young man, this seemed a marvel
To enter God’s kingdom he felt impossible
He believed money made many things possible
Riches, can become a stumbling block
In God’s criteria examining clock
Beware! Never yield to others mock
Trust not in riches kept under a lock
Christ is the eternal Rock
We are His beloved flock
Like Peter deny not even before a cock
But with God walk and talk
Christ is the only way
Sinners He never casts away
But their sins He washes away
In God’s kingdom makes them stay
In you, a lovely mud pot
God has put a fire that’s hot
Choice is yours to keep it kindled
Through you God’s kingdom is reflected
Are you for kingdom of God waiting?
It’s there! Why are you waiting?
Take courage face Pilate and endorse
Like Joseph of Arimathea show others the cross
Jesus was but greatly displeased
“Let them come to Me” He remarked
“Do not forbid little children” He declared
Theirs is the kingdom of God. He concluded.
Receive His kingdom like a little child
Not by being wicked or wild
To gain entry always be mild
Plead, “Lord! Make me Your child”
‘Here I see no visible kingdom!’
Such voices are heard seldom
Those having treasures of wisdom
Cry, “It’s within that’s Christendom”
If someone made your day today
Food becomes secondary that day
If in God’s presence one does stay
His glory manifests even through clay.
