The following poem was written by one of our students of the Kingdom, a Kingdom citizen, Malik Shakir. He shared it with us and we would like to now share it with you. We believe it will touch you as it has us.
Thy Kingdom Come…
I know what I’m about to say,
will rub some folks the wrong way…
But I don’t care,
because God is tired of us,
like He was with those in Lot's day!
Let's be honest, today Christianity has grown into nothing more than a business…
It's all about getting more members/more money,
And it don’t even matter if it's Baptist, Catholic, or Jehovah’s Witness.
And for the record, Jesus never told anyone to be a Christian…
Read the Holy Bible, because the word Christianity is not even mentioned.
Even though the word “Christian” is in the Bible 3 times…
I challenge all to show me where the word came out of Jesus’ mouth one time!
Man first came up with the word Christian in Acts 11:26…
So even though the Word is perfect,
God shows us that it was the Acts of men that tried changing it!
It’s clear that man took a saying to mean Christ-like…
And turned it into a religion, that Jesus never taught a day of His life.
Nevertheless, the Bible warns us of false doctrines and false prophets…
Religious leaders claiming to be like Christ,
But Jesus never preached for a profit.
Jesus came only to do the Father’s will…
If you take away the money, then we’ll see how many were “called” for real.
Jesus preached that the kingdom of God was at hand…
People today are preaching prosperity, just to be lovers of men.
Churches today care less about lost sheep and the poor amongst the flock…
but lust for money, cars, real estate, bonds and stocks.
The Bible tells us to study to show thyself approved unto God, not man…
But the only time many preachers open their Bibles, is when preparing a sermon.
Many religious people don’t even understand the significance of the cross…
There’s no wonder why most people claiming to know God, are actually lost.
They put their faith in the hands, of so-called wise religious leaders,
which actually is a sin…
1 Corinthians 2:5 says,
“put your faith in the power of God, not in the wisdom of men”…
And many of you still won’t get what I’m saying…
But the next time that you try to hide a sin, ask yourself, are you trying to hide it from God, or are you trying to hide it from man?
Now again, ask yourself, if the man that you are following is going to hell…
where do you think you're gonna dwell?
Now please take notice and try to understand…
God sent the Law, the Prophets and the Blood of Jesus,
all to show you that His Kingdom was at hand.
Now there are those that God has anointed to be in spiritual leadership…
To help the young in faith, to become spiritually equipped.
Then there are those not anointed, but appointed to earthly positions…
And can be led by internal motives,
that has nothing to do with Jesus' real mission.
Read Luke 9:23…
Jesus says, “take up your cross daily and follow me”…
But let’s keep it real, everyday it’s more people faithfully being followed on Facebook and reality TV.
You see, people mostly turn to God the second they think they need Him…
God says, I AM THAT I AM, so, He never need us, but every second we need Him!
I never get how for two hours some folks worship God one day out the week…
When we should be worshiping Him everyday, because everyday we are weak.
Or why do some quote scripture just to impress men…
When God knows your heart, and see how much you love sin.
God is compassionate and merciful, that’s the truth…
But through God's love, is how you hate the sin that’s even in you.
Last but not least, let me explain why Jesus said,
He didn’t come to bring peace! John 14:6, Jesus announced,
“I am the way, the truth and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through me”…
So there’s no way around Jesus,
and that’s what many of you can’t see.
Jesus never taught so that He would be lovers of men…
His sole message wasn’t Christianity,
it was the kingdom of God is at hand!
Religion is all about man's ideas, concepts and opinions…
But the Word of God is all about a King, His Kingdom,
and His Kingdom citizens, that God gave earthly dominion.
Religion has thrown man off track…
And because many people think they know so much,
they don’t look at the facts.
It’s only so long, that people can continue manifesting wrong…
Eventually all will bear witness that God’s Kingdom has come,
And His will shall be done!
Glory be to God…
