Count all as Loss for Christ Archives - Page 5 of 10

Flesh or Spirit?

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

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 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.

So, live not for this world
That will soon pass away
But, for our calling, eternal
To trust God, and obey.

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.

Yes, am setting my mind
Asking for God’s grace
Not stuck in life’s mire
Seek His thoughts, to replace.
