Churchianity or Jesus’ Christianity (Disciples Making Disciples)
So may we learn Disciple-Making;
Not forsaking, Jesus’ Command;
Calling His Followers, to reproduce;
From Churchianity, obey His plan.
The Church’s Secret
So now this secret, start obeying;
‘Disciple making’ is God’s plan;
Learn from Disciple-making movements;
Do grow and share, spread all you can.
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.
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.
Wilderness Lessons for Our Heart
“Keep your heart, with all diligence;
For out of it, spring;
The issues of life”;
Search your heart, to God bring!
Where are the Equipping Churches?
We’re not equipping the saints
For the work of the ministry
Instead our focus, polished preaching
Yet, we’re not coming to His unity.
Review Our Reactions & Habits
“Lord, examine and cleanse me;
Search and prove me within;
Try my mind, and my heart;
Do reveal, where I still sin”.
Harboring or Healing Grievances?
So be like Joseph, with his brothers;
So mistreated, misunderstood;
Despite the deepest of offenses
Forgave, believed God used for good.
