"Induction" [Sun Tsu Series #6-14] (John 15:1-17; Matt.25:1-13;15:21-28; Luke 12:41-48;)

Induction (electricity) – it captivates my mind;
Perhaps because that’s how I lead – folks copy me, I find;
Conduction (electricity) means plug-in, then turn on;
Induction (electricity) – come close, we’ll get along.

If you “Induce” says Sun Tzu – they will do as they see fit,
But if what’s seen is far from true, they’ll goof because of it;
It matters not, what you require is how they will respond
When real response is what they do – this way is seldom wrong.

Control the info you let out, do so to ascertain
The patterns of their movement, when it no more is a game;
Watch for formations they’ve arranged – their play-book in them read
Their forces – just how there deployed, and how their troops they lead.

For safe terrain which gives you life, that’s tenable for fight,
Is not that way just in itself, for some can use it right;
While others can’t use good ground right to save their life, it seems,
So be on guard, attend with care, find what each action means.

You’d think some ground is death itself, it’s lethal all the way,
Not tenable to any man as field for battle’s day;
But agitate your foe and watch the use he makes of ground;
It’s magic – turning bad to good when movement-key is found.

That’s how Christ acts, as General, in Kingdom-layer’s task –
He watches how each man responds, ’till plan is there at last
Quite formless do His troops appear until He sees the break
In walls of Jericho, day seven, so He can city take.

Abide in Christ; stay flexible; keep oil for lamp topped up,
With Spirit bending to His will; delay? Then don’t give up;
But rather, see His sheep get fed, do that until He comes
To set the captives free in Him, His mission-project done.

Thanks Lord for this.
