THE OVERCOMERS

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in he midst of the paradise of God.

Revelation 2:7(KJV)

                                                         

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.

Revelation 2:11 (KJV)

                                                        

 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.

Revelation 2:17 (KJV)

                                                        

 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:

Revelation 2:26 (KJV)

                                                        

He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

Revelation3:5 (KJV)

                                                          

 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.

Revelation 3:12 (KJV)

To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

Revelation 3:21 (KJV)

TOUCHING HEAVEN,CHANGING EARTH

Having received this glorious ministry
By God's grace and mercy
Let us not grow weary nor faint
We are His ambassadors on earth.

In our vessels, He put great treasure
May our lives continually bring Him pleasure
Letting His light through us shine
Revealing to our world His glory divine.

He calls us to pray without ceasing
Communicating daily with our glorious King
A ministry of compassion and intercession
Gallantly go forth with our gospel mission.

Touching Heaven on our bended knees
Changing earth as the darkness flees
In prayer,revival we will birth
Touching Heaven,changing earth!

For it is God who commanded light to shine out of darkness,who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.2 Corinthians 4:6(NKJV)

MIRACLE

You take these stammering words of mine

My humble broken cries
To work a miracle divine
Before my doubting eyes
When I am up against a wall
You open up a door
And in the wonder of it all
I trust a little more……

When I retreat to doubts and fears
Forgetting what You've done…..
…..Your faithfulness throughout the years
…….The gift wrought through Your Son
Lord, you don't give up on me
Or turn away Your face
But gently, softly, patiently
My fears and doubts erase

You take these fumbling, wretched hands
And use them to Your glory
I still would heed sin's vain demands
But for a wondrous story
A story that sets sinners free
To live in victory
The story of a blood-stained tree
And One who died for me

You take these stammering, mumbling words
The offering of my love
And promise me, though undeserved
A mansion up above
And as another miracle
Unfolds upon the earth
You take this broken vessel, Lord
And fill it with Your worth

THE PILGRIM'S PROGRESS

His heart was once dim
Grossly dark and full of fright
Caressed by the devilish din
Helpless in his pain and plight

Then someone preached to him
Told him of the Lord of light
How when He's let in
Ends sin's might and blight

Hence in his heart glory beams
Receiving Christ's life and light
Bids farewell to the life of sin
And in His Lord finds new delight

Now a christian, now a pilgrim
With a hope that burns so bright
Of the city yet unseen
The home for the pure and upright

Trusting in the One supreme
He sets out to do what's right
But then his adventure begins
Travelling the path of the meek and contrite

Confronting foes so grim
He decides to stand and fight
With great determination deep within
To reach that land of pure delight

So walk on precious pilgrim
In the path of what is right
Against all odds, stay keen
Progressing until you alight.

But now they desire a better,that is a heavenly country.Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God,for He has prepared a city for them.
Hebrews 11:16(NKJV)

Beautifully crafted verses. Good rhyme and rhythm. As I read through them, I was reminded of the Psalms of David. These might as well be called the psalms of Benjamin.
