Missing in Churches?…Making 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 are our churches, today
Filled with saints, on fire?
Discipled, and out sharing
Making disciples, as required?

Jesus’ means, of building churches
Equip our saints, disciple making
Spiritual reproduction, multiplying
May our leaders, start awakening.

Life’s not a cruise-ship, but a battleship
We’re not observers, but partakers
And not passive, but active
Bear God’s armor, no abstainers!

Yes, those bugs and frustrations
God allows, each our way
Are to get our attention
Cause us turn, and obey.

For behind all the bloodshed
A spiritual war, deploys
With dark forces of evil
Seek God’s chosen, to destroy.

Hallelujah, set free
Midst trials and testing
In victory, now walk
Yes! in Jesus keep resting.

Know God alone conquers
Every battle is won
Yet, He invites us partake
Wholly trust, in His Son.

For our Father, the vine-dresser
Is pruning, discarding
As branches, of His vine
For more fruit…keep abiding.
