A Man of Righteousness (6.5.10)

“The conferences of man rarely settle on the will of God, 

                                         rarely discover the will of God, 

                                         rarely seek the will of God. 

The conferences of man confess the ideas of man, 

                                                     the will of man, 

                                                     the motivating heart of man. 

Be aware of the counsel of the conference that did not attempt to listen to, 

                                                                                    to acquire, 

                                                                                    to prepare for, 

                                                                                    to discern, 

                                                                                    to transmit, 

                                                                                    to institute, 

                                                                             the will of God. 

Be aware of the counsel of the conference that does not know: 

                                                                             to heed; 

                                                                             the wisdom of; 

                                                                             the reason for; 

                                                                             the effect of; 

                                                                          the counselling of God. 

Be aware of the perils implicit in the decisions carried by coercion, 

                                                                           carried by the voice of dominance, 

                                                                           carried by the pit of camaraderie - 

                                                                                                   far from the word of God, 

                                                                                                   far from the ways of God, 

                                                                                                   far from the will of God.

Be aware of the counsel of the conference designed to curry favour, 

                                                                                    to not resolve the issue, 

                                                                                    to bring procrastination from the devil’s courtyard - 

                               the courtyard that does not know the counsel which could be construed as for the benefit of man.

For a man of righteousness has a lonely walk, 

                                             has few who can counsel within the will of God, 

                                             has even fewer who can see a vision laid before them; 

                                             has many who will decry a performance of great merit, 

                                             has many who would decry the effort expended to achieve an outcome sourced from angels,

                                             has many who, 

                                                                without direction in their lives, 

                                                           shut down the dreams of others - 

                                                                                               the others - 

                                                                                                     reaching out to wonders in the callings of their God.

For a man of righteousness has the strength of character, 

                                                   the boldness of his spirit, 

                                                   the support of his soul, 

                                                                              to overcome, 

                                                                              to conquer, 

                                                                              to lay waste, 

                                                                              to bring to no avail - 

                                                                                      the plots, 

                                                                                      the schemes, 

                                                                                      the waywardness, 

                                                                                      the roadblocks, 

                                                                                      the dead-fall traps, 

                                                                                      the falls from grace - 

                                                                                  all of which - 

                                                                                          in the time of his dominion - 

                                                                                  Satan prepares as a roadway for the strewing of the dead of heart.

For a man of righteousness has a vision of the future, 

                                             has the empowering of The Spirit, 

                                             has the oversight of God. 

A man of righteousness sidesteps the lure of lust, 

                                       sidesteps the emblems of envy, 

                                       sidesteps the march of mountains, 

                                       sidesteps the income of iniquity, 

                                       sidesteps the catching of calumny, 

                                       sidesteps the peril of the promise.  

A man of righteousness sidesteps a visit of vacuity, 

                                                      the bleating of a body, 

                                                      the idleness of indigence, 

                                       sidesteps the needling of a net, 

                                                       the call of confidence, 

                                                       the wishes of the winsome. 

A man of righteousness sidesteps the snares of Satan, 

                                                      the dessert of devils, 

                                                      the feasting on the fallen. 

A man of righteousness has the stride of sovereignty, 

                                       has the vision of the victory, 

                                       has the scroll of sequence - 

                                       has his body, 

                                             his soul, 

                                             his spirit: 

                                                     seeking the flag of freedom; 

                                                                  the landscape of the loving; 

                                                                  the promises to the pardoned.”
