Gordon Mcconnell Poet Rhyme

Praying Seriously and Being Watchful -1 Peter 4:7

This is a day of real deep declension
the clouds look to be drawing near
Jesus warned us of such an evil day
when mankind will have much to fear

This world has consistently rejected God
more and more as the years have gone by
they're without excuse as judgement comes
then the great judge will declare you must die

Peter warned of this in his first epistle
telling all that the end was in sight
exhorting believers to be much in prayer
making sure our pleadings go into flight

Be praying with a real seriousness
making sure to be contacting every day
with your saviour and Lord who hears you
He will listen carefully when you pray

Learn to be ever watchful all around
be on your guard as Satan seeks to attack
on your knees looking up for God's provision
then the Lord's armour won't ever crack!

('But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers.')
1 Peter 4: 7 (NKJV)

Jennifer Proxenos February 15, 2019 at 10:37 AM A very direct and positive poem and message to look out for satan - he is just looking for an opportunity to ensnare you into his evil net, don't give him the chance - stay with faith in God. Poetry hugs, Jennifer. Gordon Mcconnell February 15, 2019 at 3:47 PM Thanks Jennifer, Glad you were impressed and yes we must be always on our guard against our arch enemy. Blessings always, Gordon
