The ‘Church Growth Movement’ Failure

Rather persistent, prayer and fasting,
Based on God’s Word, to pour His Spirit,
To equip, start making disciples,
Cry unto God, “Our church come fill it”.

Why Many Churches Are Closing

Not endless rows, of pew spectators,
Passive, unaccountable, few partakers,
Instead of church routines, traditions,
Learn to train, disciple-makers.

Knowing or Obeying?

More than knowing, is our growing,
Not understanding, but undertaking,
More than defining, are we applying?
Not just saying, do keep obeying.

Our Feelings or God’s Favor?

Now godliness with contentment,
Is surely, great gain,
God shall supply, all your need ,
By Christ Jesus, we obtain.

Jesus’ Command…Will Churches Obey?

So may church leaders, see beyond,
Customs, traditions, familiar ways,
To awaken, to Jesus’ command,
Learn disciple-making, and obey.

My Story, all for God’s Glory

So while on earth, achieve God’s goals,
Wholly surrendered, obeying Jesus,
A selfless life, fulfil God’s plan
Ever certain, He is with us.

Yearning or Spurning?

Yes many spurning, ignoring Jesus,
Choosing death, and endless rife,
Follow deception and destruction,
May they repent, receive His life.

Wrong Feelings… Feeding or Defeating?

So not focused, on wrong feelings,
Ever forgive, instead to love,
Grow not weary, nor frustrated,
Keep claiming grace, from above.

Billions in Bondage

So why continue, in futility,
False beliefs, that but deceive?
So, pray and share with barren lives,
That Jesus Christ, invites believe!

Degrees or Disciple-Makers?

Discipling ministries, now growing,
Teach to equip, train ‘man-to-man’,
May we too, obey Jesus,
Go reach all nations, with His plan.
