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.
A Modern Pharisee or Disciple? (Rule-Keepers or Jesus Believers?)
Are using Scripture, not as a mirror;
But as a weapon, to beat others;
And so, break God’s commands;
For they fail, to love another.
A Controlling Spirit
You find a deep need;
To have your own way;
So, the plans of all others;
Must follow your say.
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.
Impeachment
Let us pray for repentance;
May God’s Spirit be poured;
And His people in DC;
Uphold the truth, before the Lord.
Heart Disease
But many sadly, stay hard-hearted;
Wanting only, their will and way;
So they reject, keep refusing;
As they rebel, and disobey.
Not Just a Branch
With no beauty in us
But the fruit that we bear
Keep abiding and growing
That God’s glory we share.
Delight Yourself in the LORD
Do we so, desire God;
To awaken, and fill us;
Are we hungry, and thirsty;
To draw nearer, to Jesus?
