Pondering Over A Sermon

Last night I listened to Costi Hinn,
The strange nephew of Benny Hinn.
Benny Hinn, a filthy rich heretic,
Costi Hinn moved away, not a lunatic.
Surely, the riches of Christ unfurled
Surpass the pleasures of the world!

 Oh, what a great sermon!
Oh, what a conviction!
Preaching with authority
From the word of God accurately;
Faithfulness of an under-shepherd,
Not worldly-success must be our effort!

50 years of Macarthur shield
Resonating never to yield
To the call of worldly pleasure,
For indeed we have a greater treasure
Of God to dispense relentlessly,
That’s the real pleasure endlessly.

Attitude of a shepherd in the morn
Could be a horn or a thorn,
Rewards or Judgment from the Lord.
Distraction and laziness we can’t afford!
Shouldn’t the first hour of the day
We delight to devote our time to pray?

Indeed, Twitter, WhatsApp, news,
On the phone, we are to refuse.
The true condition of the flock
Only known when to God we talk.
May the Lord in the morn be our priority!
Would that be your unwavering integrity?
