RELATIONSHIPS
Cease expectations from the other
That we long, they will provide
Our deeper needs, seek from God
So, bear His fruit, in Him abide.
Jesus’ Commission, or Men’s Traditions?
If church planting or growing
Need both teaching, disciple training
Use Jesus’ template, to multiply
As we are sadly, sitting and failing.
How Jesus Disciples
From God’s Word, we also find
Discipleship is reproducing
Be wholly yielding, and outreaching
Not just head knowledge, but observing.
Relationships and Our Heart
So may our hearts, love God and people
God, daily search me, know my heart
Reveal all barriers, or wicked ways
Cleanse, transform me, a new start.
Gathering AND Going?
So focus not, on just the gatherings
But go like Jesus, disciple training
Mentored His followers, to reproduce
Obey His Commission, go disciple-making!
Not Focused on Church Buildings
Jesus finished, His atonement
Yet His ministry, was incomplete
Left His mission, disciple-making
We are commanded, to complete.
Will You Answer God?
O how selfish, and sinful
We keep God’s Word within
Are not praying and sharing
With our world, so full of sin.
Doers, not just Hearers!
Yet sadly, churches look at numbers
In the pews, or at home gazing
Churches failing, how to mentor
Evangelizing, disciple making.
Teaching or Training?
To make disciples, who can battle
Train and teach, to keep obeying
Trained as ‘doers’, not just ‘hearers’
To multiply, disciple making.
Blessing Others
For we are called, to follow Jesus
His Great Commission, go multiply
Learn to witness, make more disciples
Jesus is with us, He will supply.
