Tell Me Jesus, How To… Poem by Dr John Celes

Tell me Jesus, how to

drive Satan away?
follow Thee;
become ‘Fishers of men.’
become clean in body, mind and soul.

be healed;
have great faith;
take heart;
have my sins forgiven.

praise God, the Father in heaven;
get honor from people around;
not doubt;
listen and understand the Word of God.

show compassion on those hungry;
guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees;
have in mind, the things of God;
take up my cross and follow Thee.

not be afraid;
not be rich;
remain righteous in a deceitful world;
pray to God.

heal the sick;
rebuke the evil spirits;
be a servant to all and first with God;
gather treasures in heaven while on earth.

give to God, what is God’s;
not be deceived;
keep the Sabbath holy;
cancel the debts due from others.

be a good samaritan;
be freed of my infirmities;
not make others to sin;
leave my life of sin.

hold on to your teachings;
be washed by you;
love Thee;
Prepare my soul to eat at the feast of the kingdom of God.
