The Church’s Secret
So now this secret, start obeying;
‘Disciple making’ is God’s plan;
Learn from Disciple-making movements;
Do grow and share, spread all you can.
Ever Hearing….Just not Obeying!
LORD, may our churches awaken
Equip God’s people, disciple-makers
Obeying Jesus, to go forth
Not be passive, but ‘Harvest laborers.’
May Your People Rise!
Yes, pray with passion, for the people;
To grow in zeal, for the LORD;
Be surrendered, emptied vessels;
Awaiting Jesus, His Spirit poured.
Expectations, Preparations for All Believers
May churches multiply, have vision;
Equip and train, mentor God’s people;
Send them forth, to reproduce;
Not merely sat, beneath a steeple.
Will We Obey?
Yet many churches, too clergy centered
The ‘Lay-people’, passive spectators
In church activities, weekly rituals
But not discipled, equipped as laborers.
Where are the Equipping Churches?
We’re not equipping the saints
For the work of the ministry
Instead our focus, polished preaching
Yet, we’re not coming to His unity.
Our Imprinting, as a Believer
We must seek, God will lead;
Learn from mentors, start partaking;
Equipping us, for this ministry;
Obey, go forth, disciple-making.
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.
“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.
Is the Modern Church Biblical?
Since the church, is Christ’s body
We’re His temple, a living stone
But, seems modern church goals
Miss disciple making, so little known.
