HOLY SPIRIT DESERVES THE WORSHIP
Composed on 16th September 1997, Hong Kong
God is a mystery which finite mind can't grasp .
He lives always without beginning and ending .
He manifested Himself to man in history
As the Father, as the son, as the Holy Ghost .
Godhead: the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost
Have equal majesty; They are Co-eternal.
They have the same Divine Substance in its essence.
Who can comprehend the wonder of Triune God?
They are three distinct Persons but They are just One.
The Father is as the Body of the Whole Sun;
The Son is as the dazzling light of the Whole Sun;
The Holy Ghost is as the heat of the Whole Sun.
The Father sent the Son to save mankind from sin.
The Son died on the cross to pay the price for sin.
The Holy Ghost brings men to Jesus from their sin.
How marvelous is the work of the Triune God !
The Father commands; the Son performs His commands;
The Holy Ghost manifests the Son's performance
And make redemption of Christ a reality
Which can be received only in the Holy Ghost .
The Father is seated on the Throne in heaven;
The Son is seated on the right hand of God's Throne;
The blessed Holy Ghost is in this world with men .
He is our ever present indwelling Helper .
But of all the Persons in Divine Trinity
The Father exalted Jesus far above all
To be the only Savior and the only Lord
In heaven, on earth and in domain of darkness .
People receive eternal life FROM the Father
THROUGH the Son of God Jesus IN the Holy Ghost .
Men worship the Father, and they worship the Son.
Isn't the same worship deserved by Holy Ghost?
REAL SATISFACTION IN LIFE
Composed on 21st September 1997, Hong Kong
Materials never satisfy im-materials .
Physical cannot be weighed with the spiritual,
Visible can't be measured with invisible.
Temporal is ne'er a match with the eternal.
Gold and riches are materials and temporal.
They ne'er satisfy life which is im-material.
Worldly pleasure and sex belongs to physical .
So can't they satisfy life which is spiritual .
Who seeks life's satisfaction from the materials
Lands on the shore of frustration and anxiety.
But the invisible life of Jesus alone
Brings eternal satisfaction and peace to life.
SHOULDN'T WE CLAIM THE BIRTHRIGHT OF OUR HERITAGE
Composed on 18th September 1997, Hong Kong
The earth with all the fullness and riches of it ,
Were created by God for man, Yes, for man only.
He gave him its authority and dominion.
So man was the sole owner and master of it.
There was an angel, an archangel, Lucifer .
He rebelled against his Creator and his God.
So was he cast away from the presence of God
And he became the enemy of all God’s children.
With deep cunning he beguiled and deceived Adam
And persuaded him to rebel against his God .
He convinced man to abdicate his earthly throne.
The earth and its dominion came to Lucifer.
It pained God, it pained men, it pained the earth as well.
God gave the earth to man. Now it's not in God’s hand .
Man gave it to Satan. Now it's not in man's hand .
The Lucifer became the owner and master.
For the sake of man, and for the sake of this earth
God wanted to swing the earth back to man again.
But legally it could be done by man alone.
The Greatest Law Giver couldn’t break His moral law.
God loved man; He wanted man to own the lost earth.
So He sent His Son to restore the earth to men .
Jesus became perfectly out and out a man .
He was more truly human than all other men
Jesus the perfect man represented all men .
He became the real Substitute of all men .
He stood face to face against the pretender prince
And laid His body and blood to restore the earth.
Jesus went down to Hades, the domain of Satan.
He stripped Satan of the authority and power
Which by his wicked cunning had stolen from men
Jesus restored the dominion to men again.
What Jesus did was done in our name in our place.
His victory o'er Satan is our victory.
His authority is now our authority.
The dominion of the earth is ours. Praise the Lord.
Jesus said, "All Authority in heav’n and earth
Is giv'n to me ". "I have the keys of hades and death"
"Go therefore into alt the world " . Claim it, own it.
Shouldn't we then claim the birthright of our heritage?
