Have Churches Lost Their Way?

Instead of Jesus’ plan, ‘Go forth’;
Most churches center, on us sitting;
Disciple-making, so neglected ;
Jesus’ Commission, largely missing.

A Missing Church Ingredient

Yes now, church leaders may learn;
Disciple-making, multiplying;
How to equip, and train disciples;
So do obey, and start applying.

“The Church of Equipping” : Disciple-Making

With the goal, to build up others,
All be accountable, committing,
All be equipped, for work of ministry,
Not just passive, pew sitting.

Outcome of Our Spiritual Childhood

So as leaders, learn discipling
Disciple-making, to reproduce
And saints, dear pew sitters
Get discipled, with no excuse!

God’s Vision, for His Church

Single-minded, serving God
His Commands, His Commission
Not distracted by ‘religion’
Nor our pleasures-just His mission.

A Call to God’s People

So pray and give, to spread the Gospel
And telling God, “Here am I”
To reach the unreached, with salvation
Go make disciples, that multiply.

Churches are not Equipping

Instead equip, the saints for ministry
To train them for outreach
For the work of the ministry
To multiply, so all are reached.

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.

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!
