<p>Christ says, If He is lifted He will draw all men unto Himself.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Self</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Self works overtime in the Lord's field nurturing wild weeds and tares,</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Choosing who is worthy of being drawn to Christ when His blood was shed for all,</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The small, the great and the Tall,</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>All have a spot at the foot of the cross,</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Our work is only to lift Him up.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Let His name be exalted,</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Let self be dethroned,</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Let your heart be remodeled according to His will.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>We need the Holy Spirit to fuel our inspirations because He is the One who inspires us with Divine aspirations,</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p> For the word says: It is God who worketh in us to will, to do, to choose.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p> So choose to be humble, there is nothing to lose, only shackles of sin and chains of addiction and in addition, there is a heaven to win.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>There is an eternity to gain, that moments of pleasure can never replace.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>There are angels to judge, there are souls to be won, and it's not our winning, no-no.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>It is Christ's winning because He is the one who gave out the bidding, The great commission.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>He gives us the instructions and conditions which are to be fulfilled without omission.</p>

<p>Ever making excuses for defeat.</p>

<p>Siwa sivuka we say ( we rise and fall )</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I wonder why we allow the old man to resurrect and fight battles that are not His.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>We are a chosen nation</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>We are to walk and work according to a peculiar fashion.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Look, you are the apple of His eye,</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>He never sleeps, doesn't blink because He never wants you out of His sight,</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>But you, Oh Israel, have bewitched Edom with your lentil stew.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Dishing out to the world messages that make mention of Christ but have no reverence for His Holiness.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Israel, learn to walk in lowliness,</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Treasure a meek spirit, take pleasure in consistent faithfulness.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>There is a world to heal, the serpent's head has been crushed stop giving Him your heels.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Giving Him nails in your heart to hang the carcasses of temptation from your dead past.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>You have been adopted and renamed,</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The prodigal has been reclaimed</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>You are now an heir</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>In Christ's sufferings, you are called to share.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Live in the reality that we live in a broken world in need of repair</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>And stop building sandcastles in mid-air.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Israel, why do we let Christ's sheep drown in despair when we carry the compass, the map that leads to the throne room of the porter<br></p>
