Compromised or Consecrated?

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.

Not to dwell, on sin and failure
Rather focus, on the LORD
See beyond, my upset feelings
Trusting God, see blessings poured.

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.

So, seek first God’s kingdom
His righteousness, daily
Be filled by His Spirit
Spurn sin, as our enemy.

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