A living sacrifice for Christ Archives - Page 2 of 8

Flesh or Spirit?

In Christ we are righteous
Through Him, overcome
By His Spirit, victorious
Our battles are won!

So, life is not random ‘luck’
God knows our will and ways
Sees our heart’s intent
God decides our lot, always.

Like Israel of old
We’re to purge our lives
Drive out, all our foes
Know God’s blessings, and thrive.

So like Israel, we too co-habit
Instead of purging, die to self
Compromising, we let our flesh
Pursue the carnal, and worldly wealth.

So, He trained and role-modeled
Not spectators, but partakers
As He discipled His followers
To be faithful, disciple-makers.

While many churches, think revival
Are not equipping and training
How to go, make new disciples
That go forth, disciple-making.

Not just missionaries, overseas
Nor pastors, evangelists
We’re each called, to reproduce
Be disciple-makers, be a catalyst.

So are our churches, today
Filled with saints, on fire?
Discipled, and out sharing
Making disciples, as required?

In Christ, free from sin’s guilt
And free from sin’s power
Let us walk in God’s love
Each step, and each hour.

We must hunger for God
Abide daily, in Jesus’ vine
Come dwell in His courts
We’re made dependent, by design.
