NOTHING IS DIFFICULT
Composed on March 10, 1998 Hong Kong
God Who made all things out of nothing by a word
Can return them again as it was before.
He changes things to another form when He wills.
He can do all things as He said in His word.
God is God; He is my Father; I am His child.
I'm redeemed by the blood of Jesus His Son.
I’m indwelt by the Spirit of God and of Christ .
Therefore nothing is difficult for me, too.
Believer's faith is as powerful as God Himself.
Faith is trust in God's word as infallible.
The Bible is the word of God given to me.
Praise God! I have the source of faith in my hand.
OH LORD, ACCEPT MY FINITE SINFUL SACRIFICE
Composed on 11th March 1998 Hong Kong
Jesus, You are the same unchanging One,"I AM".
Eternity is just like a moment passed by.
You never grow old; Your strength and power never fail.
Nothing can stain Your loving heart to love me less .
"WONDERFUL", is Your Name and You are Wonderful.
No creature can understand Your Infinite life.
Men who are finite beings, the created creatures
Can't grasp You fully even in eternity.
Then how is it that You love me a vile sinner?
By laying Your Infinite body and Holy blood
On the Cross as the vilest and the most sinful?
It is indeed the wonder of wonders of all.
So today I lay my humble life at Your feet.
Your Infinite love arouses my finite love; .
Your Infinite Sacrifice touches my vile heart
Oh Jesus, accept my finite sacrifice too.
THE RICHES OF THE WHOLE WORLD ARE MINE
Composed on 11th March 1998 Hong Kong
The riches of the whole world: gold, pearl precious things,
The beauty of the whole world: flowers, green leaves and light,
The fullness of the whole world: land, mountains and seas,
They are all created for me by my Father.
Adam abdicated them to the Lucifer
My Savior Jesus Christ as my own Substitute
Came and redeemed them back for me by His own blood.
The world and its riches are mine; I'm the owner.
The gold is mine, the riches of the world are mine.
By virtue of birthright they are mine forever.
They were created and redeemed back again for me
To use them for God's glory and for His kingdom
Then should I abdicate them again to Satan?
Should I beg as a beggar for my own money?
Should I go hungry, naked, homeless, penniless
When mine is vast mansions with all treasures in them?
YE ARE THE LIGHT
OF THE WORLD
Composed on 14th March 1998 Hong Kong
The Throne, the throne of God dazzling,
Encircled by Shekinah glory,
He is seated as a flaming fire.
That's our God, His nature, His glory.
Jesus said, “I’m the Light of the World."
His eyes were flaming like burning fire,
His feet - dazzling like heated furnace,
His countenance like a shining sun .
In the eternal city of God
There will be no sun to shine in it.
Jesus Christ Himself will be its sun.
His glory will lighten the city.
Jesus said to us , His followers,
"You're the light of men and of the world".
How can we be light without a fire?
Is not the Light the essence of fire?
“Baptize with the Holy Spirit and Fire",
"Tarry until you're endued with power",
"Be baptized with the Holy Spirit".
Thus Christ gave to us His commandments.
When an iron is cast into fire
It catches fire into its body.
Then its nature and color changes.
It becomes fire; it burns; it dazzles.
When a person is baptized into
The body of the Holy Spirit
He's transformed to the likeness of Christ.
He becomes a burning shining light.
WHAT COMES FIRST IN YOUR AFFECTION AND CHOICE
Composed on 16th March 1998 Hong Kong
Araham had only one son by Sarah
Who was born when he was a hundred years old .
His whole life was knitted to his only son;
He was his world; yes, he became everything.
One day God told him to sacrifice his son
Laying on an altar as a burnt offering.
His love for God was tested. What did he do?
His love for God was great; and it was matchless.
He built an altar for a burnt offering
And he laid his son on it to sacrifice.
God saw his genuine love from innermost heart.
So He accepted his love and blessed his son.
"Do you love me more than these", says Jesus Christ.
What comes first in your heart affection and choice?
Who's placed first in your life, God or someone else?
"Do you love me?" Says Jesus, "Do you love me?”
