Way of the Kingdom

Way of the Kingdom

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

This is the way 

Of the Kingdom

It is the only way

To true freedom

To go higher

You must go lower

To be wiser

You must suffer

In order to grow

You must throw

In order to flow

You must sow

To be happy

You must not envy

To receive 

You must give

To be alive

You must die

In order to die

You must self deny

In order to deny

You must try

In order to be the best

You must take the test

To be the highest 

You must be the lowest 

To be the greatest 

You must be the least

The Price

The Price

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Everything in life

Has a price

Are you willing

To pay the price?

The price of living

Is in the dying

The price of loving

Is in the serving

The price of winning

Is in the losing

The price of receiving

Is in the giving

The price of happiness

Is in the obedience

The price of acceptance

Is in the forgiveness

There is no greater price

Than to lay down one's life

Just as our Lord Jesus'

Pure and Holy Sacrifice

He gave His Life

To pay the price

That we may be

Redeemed and free

He came to serve

And not to be served

He came to save

Even the undeserved

He came to give

That we may receive

The gift of eternal life

Paid by His own Blood sacrifice

Much Ado About Nothing of Worth

Much Ado About Nothing of Worth

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

A lot of time is wasted

In doing things unimportant

Nothing is targeted 

At building the Kingdom advancement

Much ado

About nothing

Is what people do

For a living

Busy with their living

And accomplishing nothing

Deceived in their thinking

That only money is worth making

Neglecting their role

Of nurturing the soul

Falling into the pit

And unable to climb out of it

Let us repent

And not pretend

To just accept

The world view at hand

Start preaching the Word

And obey the Lord

This is what truly is of worth

And will bring you reward

God or Mammon

God or Mammon

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Busy counting money

Will not make your life like honey

Do not continue on this journey

Being deceived by a phoney

Recognize the phoney

He is a shrewd liar

This path leads only

To indulge in the wrong desire

Beware of the cost

Of selling yourself short

You will end up totally lost

From what truly matters most

You cannot serve

Both God and mammon

You either love

Or hate the other one

Choose wisely

Do not be deceived

The price is costly

For your soul to be redeemed

Only the Lord Jesus

Can redeem your soul

By His most precious

Blood that He poured

No amount of money

Is able to save you

Do not be in a hurry

To dismiss Jesus' true value

True Repentance

True Repentance

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Worldly guilt and sorrow

Will not get you through 

To tomorrow

Only true repentance do

The Lord

Looks at the heart

Not the outward

But the inner part

Take heed

To not

Simple concede

And be without

The true joy

Of freedom

Experienced when you 

Fully surrender to His Kingdom

Steer Clear

Steer Clear

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Do not take appeal

To things of the world

Beware the enemy comes to steal

From you the blessings of the Lord

All that is in the world

Will not bring you reward

Steer clear from temptation

Remain steadfast in His direction

Abide in the Lord

And you will receive reward

For obeying His Word

And turning from the world

Careful

Careful 

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

Be careful how you live your life 

Do not be deceived by the lies

Watch the desires of your heart

Be far from evil and depart 

Let not your hearts be troubled 

By the worries in the world 

Submit them all to Jesus

And allow Him to direct us

Made Right

Made Right 

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

The blazing heat 

Too hot to bear 

No wind to ease 

No cooling air 

The ground too hard

No green will grow 

Too many hearts 

Have grown so cold 

Weighed down by life's 

Concerns and cares

Distracted by strife

Happiness so rare 

So full of darkness

In the absence of light 

Seeking forgiveness 

Hoping to make things right 

None shall be found 

By those with pride 

A need to bow down 

Be humble inside 

The Lord accepts 

A repented heart 

Clearing sin debt 

By Jesus' Blood

Judgment

Judgment

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

The days are hot

With heated fear 

The ways are not 

Righteously geared 

The cries go out 

Towards heaven

Which then pours out 

Kingdom presence

All evil burn

To yield justice 

The righteous earn

Peaceful solace 

The judgment due 

Towards the wicked 

But mercy still 

Seeks the repented

Right Attitude

Right Attitude

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

If you don't have

The right attitude

You won't rise to 

Higher altitude

Don't dwell 

On the wrong things

Be wise 

In your thinking

Humble yourself

Before the Lord 

Deny yourself

And trust the Lord

When in God

When in God

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

The days are bright 

When in God's Light 

The nights are warm 

Despite the storms

The mind is clear 

When in God's Peace

There is no fear

The spirit is strong 

When in God's Grace 

His rhythm and song 

Help win the race 

The life is full

When in God's Truth 

You will see life

In its true worth

Loving The Father

Loving The Father 

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

It's not about 

The things you have 

It's not about 

What you have less

It's not about 

Obtaining more 

It's not about 

Filling the stores 

The blessings are great 

But there's so much more 

Don't let life go to waste 

Not knowing how to score 

Don't chase after 

The blessings 

But seek after 

The Blesser 

Nothing is greater 

Than God the Father 

Set your hearts fully fixed 

On loving your Father

Don't Be Stuck In The Past

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

All the regrets and pain 

Will only drag you down

There's nothing to gain

Harboring a tonne

Time will go by 

Eventhough you sigh

It'll still go by 

Eventhough you cry

There are things that do not last

No matter how hard you try

Don't be stuck in the past 

Make the most of your life 

Bring all the regrets and pain 

To the foot of the Lord's cross

So that it won't be in vain

And there won't be any loss 

Let the Lord show you how 

To deal with things in the past

So you'll live in the now 

All healed, renewed and refreshed

Have a show?

Will the roots 

Ever grow?

Will the world

Become bright 

Without God

As its Light?

To give us true hope 

For all eternity

So take the straight road 

And enter His Glory

Do make them count 

Be still and humble 

Before the Lord
