Obedience
By: Miracle Man
5/17/2021
Obedience demonstrates our true love for God,
by keeping His commandments on the path we trod.
Only God knows, how and when, our life will end,
the steps that we’ll take and the rules we’ll bend.
God alone knows, a heart and mind, for certain,
and His judgment looms beyond death’s curtain.
But forgiveness awaits for our life’s wrong choices,
and each time one repents, all Heaven rejoices.
Ephesians 6: 1-3
6 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
2 Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise;
3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
Waste not your good beginning granted by God.
Spend your time’s treasure to the utmost…
…devoid of vanity’s worthlessness;
Use hours well, maximizing each second…
…toward fruitfulness’ abundance!
Waste not your good beginning; pray first for your ventures.
Seek first the Lord’s kingdom, guided by His wisdom…
…perfect, never making any mistake;
Utilize His bestowed grace…
…neglecting not any aspect of Your task!
Waste not your good beginning; avoid being selfish.
Serve the Master, constrained by His love…
…believing that you’re a called steward;
Uphold His standards anchored by His Word, the Scriptures
…directing you toward good success* for His honour and glory!
*Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

Reigning over my life is God
Enabling me to enjoy His granted eternal life
Guiding and girding up my faith for trust’s height
Instructing me thru the truth of His Scriptures
Nourishing my soul* with salvation-blessings' bounty
Assuring me of His presence constantly.
Redeemed by the blood of the Saviour
Empowered am I by His might to exalt His name
Fortified by His faithfulness
Optimized am I to engage in His ministry.
Rejuvenated midst weakness
Zealously, I strive to keep on doing His will.
Admonished to please Him by His grace
Desirous am I to delight in His fellowship
Offering myself to Him with praise and thanksgiving.

Dear Reggie,
A blessed birthday to you. I believe that this poem echoes your testimony.
My inner voice tells me...
to optimize life, enjoying it with zest
while trusting, the BIBLE
re-creating me spiritually
with its seed imparting to me divine nature
enabling my born-again experience vibrantly wondrous
when I was acquainted with God, the Author, also the Source of breath.
My inner voice exhorts me...
to grow in the faith, feasting
in the nutrients of this book called Scriptures
that nourishes soul with milk of grace along compassion-honey
enabling me to grow, go and glow while relying on the Creator
strengthened against trials and turmoil
as I plunged into the depths of its exposed wonders.
My inner voice prods me...
to mature in heavenly wisdom
while studying divine book of the law
as my vision is illumined by its inspired revelation;
assured with eternal redemption’s security
triumphant to share its truths toward regeneration
righteousness-imputation, revival-wrought victory
through the goodness and greatness of the Lord.
My inner voice instructs me...
to be steadfast as soldier of Christ
using the Bible as my sword
to conquer deceit, overcome wiles of the Devil
subdue carnality and vanquish worldly offers
by the omnipotence of the omniscient Almighty
Who keeps on instilling in me the values
as well as virtues of staying in His blessed will
while advancing the kingdom of the King of kings.
My inner voice keeps on admonishing me...
to wait for the Lord’s glorious coming
while taking the sword of the Spirit
in fulfilling my role as His steward and servant
radiating everlasting light
reverberating life-changing truth:
“This book of the law shall not depart
out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate
therein day and night, that thou mayest observe
to do according to all that is written therein:
for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous,
and then thou shalt have good success.”*
*Joshua 1:8 of the King James Bible

Illumined by God thru the Scriptures’ light
Led to do the Lord’s will with the Spirit’s might
Loved so much around the Saviour’s compassion-delight
Upheld for faith-driven good works’ height
Moved toward grateful worship, joyously bright
Imparted with divine nature that is godly and right
Nourished by grace* and mercy day and night
Assured of eternal salvation’s security for heaven’s flight
Directed along holiness-walk midst spiritual fight
Attended to in prayer plight, I rejoice in the Father's presence, devoid of fright!
Accepted am I as God’s child with His certainty
Guided by His prudent authority
United to His supreme purpose of great sovereignty
Sanctified for effective witness-integrity
Taught to trust always the wisdom of the Almighty
Inspired as enabled in fulfilling steward’s duty
Nurtured with God’s provisions, I abide in His security!
Driven toward willing obedience faithfully
Ordered to share the Gospel diligently
Liberated against selfish agenda powerfully
Instructed with Bible truths constantly
Named as God’s own to live for Him triumphantly
Trained to testify about His goodness gladly
Always, I thank and praise the Lord sincerely.
*Psalm 84:11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

My Dearest Sister Ming,
A blessed birthday to you. I love you. . I believe that this poem echoes your testimony.
3 John 1:2 “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.”
"Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older
they judge them; sometimes they forgive them."
by Oscar Wilde
Precious in the family
children are special treasures
carved with love; polished with care
learning great lesson of compassion from parents
since babyhood when they were welcomed with serene bliss.
Prospered in their nourishing home
children progress with gracious nurture
along growing up pains and mirth-filled adventures
bracing adolescence might of curiosity-driven pursuits
to optimize freedom-driven exploits, guided by parents.
Prodded toward challenging choices
children radiate wisdom they have gained
exhortations on virtues, reflecting parents’ faith-prudence
admonitions for good manners, fortified by training and discipline
vis-à-vis imparted kindness indeed marked with sharing of blessings.
Propelled beyond carrying family name
children continue to expose parents’ legacy
verily endowed well, by the bounty of the Lord
around sweet partnership and harmonious relationship
midst exercise of truth, forgiveness, justice, gratitude, and appreciation.
*Ephesians 6:1-3 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
