Discipleship Christian

Another important document has been approved at a General Assembly, the policy statement of a Worldwide Ministries Division that was entitled as “Do Missions in Partnership.” The partnership is intrinsic to the Trinitarian nature of God and the incarnation of mission. Everybody should take part in God’s task in partnership with the Lord , with the agencies and the partner churches from around the world and with our hurting world. Shifting beyond the ingrained paternalistic outline to equal 2-way missions and the authentic partnership is the challenge before us. Six essential mission attitudes on pathway to partnership of basic discipleship: 1. Humility - the mission now should start with the recognition, the repentance and the abandonment of the attitudes of pride, condescension, superiority and arrogance. Humility entailed the openness to take, to learn from & to be corrected by others. 2. Compassion - when we give money, feed the hungry, build churches, preach the gospel an...

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...

There are so many Christians that have experienced a great adventure of their Christian life, and they can be able to say that these are the most prolific years of their being a Christian. The ardor for evangelism, the keenness with which, when opening the Bible, the joy when saying the prayers and the expectancy with coming to church. The initial year for Christian discipleship to someone new and Jesus Christ was fresh to them, was just like that first moment when they heard their all-time favorite music. Perhaps you will remember the first instance that you have heard of yours — how besotted you had been by it, how you’re putting it on, repeatedly then listened to it continuously. You told your acquaintances, “You need to hear this — honestly, it is amazing.” That was a Christian life during the first year of many new Christians, overflowing and effervescent. And to be honest, it is probably quite alike since then. It is assumed that was partly because, as everyone is busy with thei...

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...

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...
