The Work-Out Plan

I heard that change starts with the man in the mirror, but I am in God’s image so I desire to be like the one before the mirror, and the mirror is His word, so I reflect upon it just so I can know who I am

It wasn't long before I realized that who I was was not who He intended me to be.

I needed a makeover.

See I was overweight with sin from eating life with a big spoon

Lived on praise and pride and lies that were like calories 

I didn't sing or dance for Him, was too unfit to, but I moved my head back and forth to music manufactured in Satan’s kitchen, so that when the tune kept ringing in my mind I picked up the cholesterol that it left in my system.

I became so obese that I could no longer run the race nor keep the faith, my blood vessels so narrowed that His blood could no longer flow through me
And then I got a heart attack, forgot He is my best defense

It’s like we have a systemic problem but only treat parts where symptoms are exhibited.

Jesus is patient with us, but that doesn't mean He's sick coz He hails as healer.

But we the sick seek cure from quarks

Mix pure with works

Absent of faith so Satan’s heat melts us like wax,

And we still want to be the light of the world? That doesn't come by singing

“Jesus walks” but by walking the talk.

And that’s when I began to WORK OUT my salvation with fear and trembling
Fitness to run with endurance the race that has been set before us and X, I mean the cross marks the spot, so I run focusing on the finish line, I mean the finisher of our faith.

See, He gave Himself to death so that we could warm up to Him,
To guard our heart with all diligence for it is the well spring of life.

We need to get on a strict diet, watch what we eat, I mean feed our minds with lest we become overweight, I mean burdened with sin.

So every morning I jog my memory with verses, feeding on His word for it is the bread of life.

I do my PUSH ups, I mean I pray until something happens,

Not giving up the fellowship of brethren because it is my gym where we encourage one another even as the day of the finals, I mean the final day approaches.
You can only be crowned if you compete by the rules. This here is my work out plan.
If you see me looking fit, go tell everybody that I am like God’s secret because He has kept me.

Kept me on track and lifted me over the hurdles. This race is for the crown that does not perish.

Therefore I urge you to run, not with uncertainty, to fight, not as one who beats the air,

But to discipline your body and bring it into subjection, lest when you have preached to others, you yourselves become disqualified!
