Discipleship Christian

Think of the contemplated. We can simply imagine and be fascinated with the thought of providing the entire selves and lives to God without really doing it, and just think about it as being completed since we have predicted it. The primary part — that we may be attracted to an idea of totally following Christ without ever really doing so — isn’t new. Many begin a journey they did not finish, sprout for the moment time, only to be choked out with the worldly care and finally go out, since they were never actually with us in 1 John 2:19. There are many that handed much for the time, however, fall short of providing their entire being to Jesus. However, after a bit further of observation, something which is terrifying for those who considered it: Some who refused to provide their whole being to Jesus died without understanding it. They think that they live wholehearted disciples since they have predicted it. “Many people give much, but drop short of providing their entire self to Christ.”...

The word discipleship cannot be found in the Bible. This word is unclear in English. It will mean discipleship with the sense of a personal pattern of following Christ , trusting him and realizing from him. That’s discipleship. It will mean that. Or this will mean an activity of helping other people be disciples in a sense of learning and growing from him. “People needed to become Christians, people needed to be taught about how to feel and think and act as one real Christian. That is being a disciple.”      The next meaning is to help other people. It has a verb in the Greek New Testament: to make disciples. It will mean preaching the gospel so people will be converted to Jesus and became Christians and, therefore, disciples. An example in Acts 14:21 that states, “When they had spoken of the gospel to a city and created many disciples, they will go back to Iconium and Lystra.” So that “will make disciples” is a Greek word there, that means “to have them transformed ...

In order to own that discipleship heart , we must make sure that we are working towards growing it every day. Below are the lists that will help you grow, then, daily applied it. 1) Deepen your connection with God We can’t be the disciple of our father in heaven when we don’t grow deeper in Jesus Christ and we don’t have that personal connection with Him. When we’re looking at His 12 disciples, we can see that each one of them had a personal and an intimate relationship with Him. With the tales of Jesus’ living on earth that had been contained within the gospel, we see His connections with His disciples. Jesus taught them, was intended by them, pay attention to their troubles, they are working together as one, then, gave them the authority to preach His word. We cannot get from this life through using our personal strength, so we should make sure that we struggle everyday to have a connection with Christ to rely alone on His strength. You may work towards deepening the connection you h...

Talk to youth leaders from urban to urban and from coast to another coast, and you will feel sanctified that God bless you to be fronting these different types of youth leaders with diverse backdrops on a pretty reliable basis. Talk to them so you will know if you need to counsel, console or encourage them to “fight throughout until the breakthrough”. You can see a pattern that lots of youth leaders are overworked and underpaid. Most are volunteers and worked as a full time task on top of the youth ministry. The sum of spiritual, emotional, and physical energy it will take you to keep up these teenagers, let alone supports them, would leave the most lead pastors frustrated and breathless. And, since the youth leaders typically don’t see the immediate payoff for every hard work, a temptation is to pull on to those more “glorious” rank in the ministry or either be totally out of it. Before you set up anything in mind, here are 10 solid-rock reasons why you should not quit in the youth C...

Great leaders take charge The concept of moving intentionally toward a clear and compelling purpose and motivating people to follow you is implicit in the word "leader." A leader has a goal in mind and rallies his or her followers to help him or her achieve it. In ancient history, no one is a greater example of this than Jesus. How did a lowly carpenter, seemingly out of nowhere, lead a small group of undervalued blue-collar followers to "make disciples of all nations"? Leadership is the answer! The test of a Christian leader's efficacy is what happens to his or her followers after he or she has passed away. The incredible thing about Jesus' leadership abilities is that his disciples are still carrying out his mission 2,000 years later. Jesus was a great leader. And, if you think about it, he's still in charge, but now from a higher vantage point. “I will construct my church...” Jesus said to Peter in Matthew 16:18. From the right hand of the Father, t...

There is a particular taste to the Black Church and discipleship in general. The Black Church provided him with the opportunity to feel "seen" in a culture that did everything it could to make black people disappear. As a result, he felt more like a human being. It met all of his needs and specifications. There has never been a time when history lessons were more essential than they are today. The Gospel would be worthless if it were not for the redeeming grace demonstrated by Jesus' death on the cross. We are spiritually dead in our sins if we do not believe in Jesus. According to Scripture, we are dead in our sins and without hope of salvation. Many individuals feel that best would strengthen their relationship with God if they are kind to other people. We can try, but we'll never be able to make it there. No matter how hard we try, our "good deeds" remain a disorganized mess; they are worthless and do not get us any closer to God's perfection. Whe...

  The technique Jesus took to creating disciples may be used by parents in their own households. A number of groups have adapted Jesus' technique, but when it comes to disciplining our children, we are unclear of the best approach to take. Many Christians in the Western world have realized for a long time that 80% of their children will not become followers of Jesus. Thousands of dollars are dedicated to children's and youth ministries because we were told that enrolling our children in child care and youth group was essential, only for them to reject God once they left the safety of their parents' home. Because many parents believe they are spiritually inept, it is frequently easier for them to entrust their children's spiritual instruction to professionals than themselves. There is a revelation in the tale of Jesus' last dinner with his disciples that they had addressed the issues of discipleship and parenting improperly. However, rather than striving to fit o...

Our attention spans appear to be growing shorter and shorter. As a result, Bible teachers utilize games to assist individuals in their spiritual growth . There are games for all ages, from toddlers to adults. 1. Storytelling for Young Adults from the Bible Directions: Sit in a circle with a group of individuals. Tell the group ahead of time to bring 1-2 things to illustrate a Bible narrative. Have the group pass their things to the right, and the others of the group must guess what they represent. They can pass it two more times if they are unable to predict. Each individual who correctly guesses receives a point, as does the person who brought the things. The player with the most points win. 2. Domino Memory Game for Elementary School Students Directions: Choose a Bible passage and write or print it on a sheet of paper or a label. Then, place each label on a domino, making sure that there is no overlap on at least one side so that they can stand up. Then combine the dominoes with the...
