Flesh or Spirit?

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

Our life’s full of troubles
Tribulations, each day
Yet instead of our resting
We keep struggling, our way.

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.

But washed clean, before we offer
As in the Tabernacle, with laver
Now Jesus’ blood, still sanctifies
So, our heart and offerings, find favor.

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 let us humbly repent
Let us battle, by His Spirit
Putting on, all His armor
Pray in earnest, without limit.

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.
