Hypocrisy and Selfishness In the Ministry
Believing that I’m called to serve God in the ministry
I hate hypocrisy that afflicts it along with fatal selfishness
Compromising divine work for personal fame, honour and glory
Bringing forth anguish and misery as results of worthlessness.
Ministry that is genuine is leading people to the Saviour
Reaching out to others with faith’s fervor and mercy’s compassion
For transformation toward godly behaviour
Thus, tainting it with dishonesty and self-gain speaks of shallow devotion.
I confess my sins that hinder ministry-fulfillment
Seeking the Lord to subdue the root cause which is arrogance
As I surrender to Him for earnest ministry engagement
Blessed by His grace I can share with love’s extravagance.
