Title: A Call to All Christians!

My Dear Christian Friend,

Ever wonder why
Revival never comes?
Why the lost never
Understand our pain
And love for them?

Ever wonder why
For you faith is so easy,
But for them to believe,
They called it not sane?

Grief, oh great grief!
That our savior crying,
Days after days,
For people lost and not found!

Grief, oh greatest grief...
Is not them not believing,
But you, fellow Christians
neglecting in your prayers!

Do you pray?
Continuously?
Everyday?
Are the lost your top priority,
The top in your prayer list?

Or are they simply
Matters that concern you
Less than your career,
your money and your food?

Where is that Christian love,
Christ commands us to have?
Where is your mercy
And compassion,
your passion for the lost?

Think of our savior,
Think of his great love,
Will you not prefer to see his smile,
Over his pain-stricken tears?

You are concern for money,
And all material things
But you forget for a moment,
Those destined for a horrible eternity!

Friend,
I believe you do share
A burden for the lost like me.
But because of daily problems,
your business make them something you forgot.

Why no revival?
Why people remains unsaved?
Why don't we see the power of
The Holy Spirit,
Like in the days of Acts?

We are the "Why"!
You and I,
We contribute to the postponement
Of the greatest revival ever seen!

We cheat, we lie, we steal.
We are no imitators of Christ.
We pray, we fast, we give tithes,
But when we do so,
We do it with hearts not right.

Because of our salvation,
We grow arrogant,
Embracing a "Holier than thou" attitude,
Indulging in self-righteousness,
forgetting God's commands for us to be humble.

We embrace the lord,
We seek him so greatly,
We said we love him with our lips,
but that is all we ever did.

We quarrel, we divide,
We do not unite.
Each thinks each is right.
We organize lots and lots
Of salvation programs,
But the most important thing,
Our prayers,
We throw that aside.

Remember,
God is the one with power,
Not man.
In all you do,
Pray first before you plan.

A program you plan,
With the support of prayer,
This program God will bless.
But when you plan,
But do not pray,
The program has no power,
It has only plans!

Also,
Let us not quarrel,
Let criticize not our brothers.
Because the lord commands us to support one another,
Not cause our brother's fall.

Pray for the lost,
Salvation for them,
Come first,
Not your money or your pride.
Be willing to forgive,
And Never gives in to hate.

When you give tithes,
Do so cheerfully,
And when you pray and fast,
Do it with the right motives.

Friend, my Christian brothers and sisters,
Let us live right!
Be holy, and the imitators of Chist,
And let God's glory shines.

Amen.
