God’s Biblical Vision for Our Churches: Maintaining or Multiplying?

For God’s glory, not man’s controlling;
But our churches, be multiplying;
Equip the saints, to reproduce;
From our meetings, start applying.

What Are Churches Producing?

So, in place of passive sitters;
Stop repeating, and mistaking;
Follow Jesus, in His steps;
Learn and teach, disciple-making.

Let Us Obey

Not self-focused, pleasure seeking;
But surrendered, dying to self;
Obeying Jesus, His Word and Spirit;
Go make disciple-making, eternal wealth.

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.
