Paralyze Not the Ministry

Don’t paralyze the ministry Afflicting it through selfishness-injury While compromising with worldliness’ infantry Bringing forth anguish misery. Ministry* is leading people to the Saviour Guiding them with love’s fervor For transformation toward godly behavior Radiating heavenly light of divine favour. Beware of sin that hinders ministry-fulfillment Abandon pride with its fatal impairment Vanquish idolatry by Scriptures’ engagement Overcome idleness through diligent involvement. Let truth anchor your ministry-standard Disloyalty is sure to pull you downward Dishonesty can catch your heart off-guard Disobedience – that you ought to discard. God wants you to enjoy ministry-blessings Let not dimness of vision instill in your souls cursings Due to unbiblical appraisings Thus, persist… anchored by spiritual enforcings.
*1Timothy 1:12 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry. March 26, 2019
