Church Leadership Ingredients
Look beyond, gifting and training
To know their heart, motivation
A vessel, wholly dedicated?
Or tainted needing, more consecration?
Let Go, and Let God
“Not by might, nor by power
But by My Spirit” says the LORD
So that His will, be done
We then see, blessings poured.
Churches Teach, but Don’t Disciple
One-on-one, in small groups
Much time, mentoring, Jesus discipled
Equipped and trained, ‘how’ to obey
To reproduce, go make disciples.
Renewing the Church
Seem so few, will die to self
So ask Jesus, to start using
My life holy, be His witness
Disciple-making, reproducing.
Surrender
So dear saint, do surrender
His Word and Spirit, alone obey
Not the world, the flesh, the devil
All on His altar, fully lay.
What Does God Expect of Me?
Be teachable, be open
As clay in God’s hand
Humble, repentant
Obey, all He commands.
Our Stepping Stone, Our Rock
As our LORD, and our King
May we never bring shame
As His child, bring but honor
Daily glorify, His Name.
Our Battles are Won
For Jesus only, our Creator
Living in us, He can supply
His grace, ever sufficient
Simply trust Him, and abide.
Revive Us, O LORD
Shake us and wake us
Revive us O Lord
Send down the fires
May Your Spirit be poured.
Church Leaders in Disciple-Making?
So let us focus, on Jesus’ mission
Train in outreach, disciple-making
Equip the saints, reach the world
Role modeling, and mentoring!
