We are saints lying in wait!

The eyes through which I see things have changed
My perspectives on life have been transformed
It is not because I read Marx’s Communist Manifesto or
delightful poetry by Keats!
You see as I gaze upon my surroundings everyday....
The Lord has made me see that His Second coming draws nigh
The world has become more temporal to me
These physical things are of lesser interest to me
The worldly success that it dangles before my eyes are not my focal point anymore!
These materials and accolades that we accumulate on earth
Are they ever a guarantee of the heavenly glory that awaits
???
Heaven’s gates does not open to those who carry the weight
of the world
It only welcomes those who carried the cross of Christ
diligently
Demonstrated His love consistently,
Never allowing themselves to be tools in the hands of the
enemy
It only attracts heavenly felonies!
The path that we tread on in life is a lonely one
It is wide for those who expand in earthly riches, never
willing to shed them off and seek more of His Spirit
Seeking hungrily after only spiritual food
As the world grows darker and darker
Demons come out fearlessly, dancing around us in mockery
Each with a name and an assignment to accomplish
Violence boldly walks our street killing the innocent
Seduction coils the lustful around her fingers
Immorality parades the streets loudly like a marching band
No fear of what is coming!
The days of Lot are upon us again!
So in these times, we work out our salvation with fear and
trembling !
For no ones the hour for which He will arrive yet within our
spirits in prayer…
Our heartfelt cry is: “Maranatha, even so Lord Jesus come
now!”
The world has nothing to offer…I desire to rest in eternity
with you
I put myself together in readiness!
Making sure every day I empty myself out to the perishing
souls
The words that they need to hear, not those they want to
hear.
Jesus, you are the standard that every day we seek to
master.
We desire to sit by you on the glorious throne
Basking with you in glory, as you honour us with magnificent
crowns
For this is our sure reward for labouring tirelessly in your
vineyard
I know you are nearer to us than before
My spirit is alert and very much aware!
I pray to thee Oh Lord, that my heart be set on you daily
That I live a Christ impacted life!
In that day, after my works have passed through the burning
furnace without burning
I long to hear you say onto me “Well done, my good and humble
servant!”
My eyes are set on you daily, help me to tread carefully and lovingly
every day!
For no one knows the hour of your return…so then until, Oh
Lord, we are simply saints labouring and lying in wait!
