THE PASSION OF CHRIST
A Confrontational Poem by Atsu Adaletey

The Passion 
Of Christ 
Is a Mission
With Thirst

The Passion
Of Christ
Is a Vision
With a firm Decision

The passion of Christ
Is faith in Action
Not a Risk 
For Experimentation

Is not to take pride in church mansion with air condition
It is to step out, reach out to those poor souls in a hopeless condition
It is not to take pride in your smartphones during church service
It is to fear the Lord for his greatness and to revere Him with some level of discipline 

It is not for church sitters
But for church workers
It is not for crowd-driven souls
But for kingdom-driven souls

The passion for Christ
Now replaced with the passion for lust
That which ignores the essence of the Trinity

The passion for Christ is not for high hills who are reluctant to jump in His praise	
The passion for Christ is for flat feet that humble their reputation and position for His praise
The passion for Christ is not for make-ups that fake His praise
The passion for Christ is not for make-ups that denies 
the soul from true worship

It is for souls who truly understand what it means to worship Him in truth and in spirit
It is for those whose skin deserves some whip
It is for those whose palms receives some nailing, embracing the pain of sacrifice in worship

The passion for Christ is for “wanna dos”
Not for “wanna sees”

Show me your phone and let Jehovah show me how much time He spends watching over you
Show me your expenses and let the creator who gives you life showcase your offerings and tithes

Tell me how old you are 
And let Him tell you how many “minutes” you are left with
Tell me how busy you are 
And let Him tell you how free He is

The Passion 
Of Christ 
Is a Mission
With Thirst

The Passion
Of Christ
Is a Vision
With a firm Decision

The passion of Christ
Is faith in Action
Not a Risk 
For Experimentation

It is not for church sitters
But for church workers
It is not for crowd-driven souls
But for kingdom-driven souls

Where is your passion?
In Christianity 
or Vanity 
?
