Concealed Destiny

Good morning everyone who feels they are guided by Thee

You have to understand that you have a concealed destiny

Now, to understand your destiny, you must first water the seed

Like everything in life, you will eventually have a need

We are all seeds in life, that are planted by Thee

Spread all over the world to one day grow like a tree

You cannot grow in life if you are not fed water to grow

Every living thing needs water, which is God’s Spirit, if you didn’t know

So take time out of your busy day to feed your spirit

How else will it grow if you don’t listen to it?

Your destiny is planted within you, as it lays waiting for its feed

As you grow, like anything in life, it’s your soul that has a need

How can you claim your destiny if you leave it in a buried state?

Feed the spirit and watch it grow, and you will learn your fate

We go through life always wondering why we all meet troubled ways

Yet, do you realize problems bring wisdom far beyond your days?

Like any seed, you must be buried deep, so you can grow

How could you ever learn, if you feel there is nothing you need to know?

So take a moment and think of the path of you and me

As the sun shines, it will one day reveal our concealed destiny

A Humble Heart

Today we heard a message so deep

While we listened to the bishop, some began to weep

The bishop spoke about how to bless another

What may seem so easy to do, yet we ignore our own brother

We seem to win a battle, yet we lose the war

Instead of the anger, we need to know what to pray for

While we speak one word from the very start

The Lord doesn’t hear your words; He hears your humble heart

The bishop spoke of how so many commit to television shows

Yet they forget the church, when only Sunday is the time they go

He asked the question, "Why do you run to see Empire?

Instead of committing to church, you act like God’s on fire"

He asked, Why do we sit idle while others live like kings?

When you stretch out to see what a humble heart brings

You must allow the Lord to secure you when you ask

He will soothe your heart as it cries out at last

So you have an obligation that will require you to do your part

Just understand that God listens to a humble heart

When?

Today the question was asked to the very end

While we ask the Lord the one word called when

The bishop spoke of a man named Daniel

He was a man who felt he had found hell

While he went through hard times that he felt would never end

Daniel was a believer who asked the Lord when?

Just like everyone who has troubles, yet we believe

While we wait on the Lord, hoping it’s our pain He will relieve

The bishop informed everyone; you have your own purpose

While we struggle with life, He lives in all of us

Yet while you have faith, you still don’t understand

Daniel continued to question the spirit within every man

Why do I suffer? What have I done to deserve this?

Yet if you’re not given struggles, it’s the lesson you would miss

Daniel was informed that his words were heard

Yet his humbled heart was truly not scared

So understand your walk is one that has no end

Allow your Holy Spirit to answer your question, When?

Stay in Your Lane

The bishop was on a roll this Sunday

While some would disagree, others felt the spirit today

As the bishop cleared his throat and yelled, Stay in your lane

It seemed like he was pissed, while others would label it insane

Now you need to stay focused on your given path

While some might consider you angry and others will call it your wrath

Stay in your lane and allow others to follow

Instead of giving false words that to some may seem hollow

Stay in your lane while you see others adjust

That will be the moment that your spirit will need your trust

Just stay in your lane, and at the right moment you may shift

You may not realize it, but to some people you are their gift

Stay in your lane, and slowly you will see some people disappear

Those are the phonies in your life, who didn’t really care

Stay in your lane and you will see the satans revealed

Those friends and close people in your life who only wanted to steal

Stay in your lane and stop gazing at the sky

While you stare with a puzzled look and ask the question Why?

Stay in your lane and allow God to shift you

The Lord will show you His way and what you need to do

Listen and learn, because the Holy Spirit may also give you pain

Yet stay in your lane as we all have so much to gain

The Shift

The bishop came out to speak
