DEVOTIONAL: DO YOU CONSIDERED YOURSELF NOW AS A DISCIPLE OF CHRIST?

A Christian Mission Is To Be Disciple and Make Disciples Too


Disciple Meaning

-someone who is a believer/follower of Jesus Christ. 

-being changed by Jesus Christ

-someone who is committed to be part of the mission of Jesus Christ (Matt. 4:19).

 

DISCIPLE MAKING –a mission of every Christian, entering into a personal connection with one another, applying the love of Christ Jesus which is unconditional. And this is to help and convince people to know more about Christ Jesus personally using his biblical teaching. Building each other trust and together encouraging one another to accept and follow Jesus Christ the Lord (Matt. 28:18–20), which includes the whole process from conversion through maturation and multiplication. As Jesus Christ commanded to his disciples before he rose up in heaven after his resurrection… 

Matthew 28:18-20 

18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Therefore, if you are a believer/follower of Christ Jesus you are authorized to do so. First, be a disciple in the name of Christ. Submit to God not in human doctrines/man-made tradition nor a religion. Salvation can be found only in one Name given from heaven above (Acts 4:12). Being saved is not safe to sit and seated. We ought to continue the mission, the disciple making, to find the lost soul, our brethren/family in Christ Jesus. To bring them back to Christ Jesus and find the real meaning of life. This is how we can show our love for God, through this process we can prove to him that we love one another. 

If you do this with a humble heart before the Lord for his name and glory, you have done the will of the Lord as like the rest of his 12 disciples (Matthew 22:36-40). 

Matthew 22:36-40 

36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” 37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

We all have the freedom to choose everything we wanted but there is only one way that could give us the safest path of life, only Christ Jesus (John 14:6).

DEVOTIONAL: SALVATION MEANING AND ITS IMPORTANCE

Salvation (also called deliverance or redemption) is the saving of human beings from sin and its consequences—which include death and separation from God—by Christ's death and resurrection, and everyone who accept this truth will be restored through faith and have eternal life. Note, that the word death here is not about a physical death but a spiritual death. So, this spiritual death and separation from God start from the time when humans disobeyed God which is written in the book of Genesis 3 ( please read the full chapter ) . Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, Isaiah 59:2 But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear. And because God so love the world He made a way in which He sent his one and only son Jesus Christ to deliver and redeem us from being perished because of our transgressions and sin. John 3:16 , which says, "For God so loved the world that he g...

DEVOTIONAL: A TRUE CHRISTIAN FAMILY JOHN:13:1-17

EVIDENCE OF A TRUE CHRISTIAN FAMILY JOHN:13:1-17 ANCHOR VERSE John 13:12-14 12 When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place. “Do you understand what I have done for you?” he asked them. 13 “You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and rightly so, for that is what I am. 14 Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet.  TO WASH ONE ANOTHER’S FEET AS JESUS CHRIST COMMANDED TO HIS DISCPLES IS NOT WHAT WE   LITERALLY  THINK  BUT IT'S ALL ABOUT A SPIRITUAL CLEANSING . WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM ARE ALREADY CONSIDERED AS CLEAN AND ARE ALSO ENTRUSTED TO CLEAN THOSE UNCLEAN BY SHARING THE GOSPEL IN HIS NAME. ACROSTIC GUIDE: WASH W-WORD OF GOD   -The word of God has a divine cleansing power to purify us from uncleanliness through faith in Christ. -16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant ...

DEVOTIONAL: IMPORTANCE OF REPENTANCE

Repentance is important because it allows for forgiveness, spiritual growth, and a renewed relationship with our Heavenly Father. It is an act of turning away from sin and walk toward a path of a healthy spiritual life  which leads to freedom from guilt, healing, and a fresh start. It is often seen as a prerequisite for spiritual progress and salvation. It is also an  act of feeling remorse for all the past wrongdoing. Knowing also that in every mistake that we are going to commit in this present and in the future has a consequences(including the past). So it is called to repent and not to repeat. We have to choose wisely our path by changing our mindsets and behaviour by walking towards a better way of living   fixing our eyes to Jesus.   This involves acknowledging one's actions base not by human judgement but by what Christ Jesus teaching, and committing to a change in attitude and actions in the name of Christ Jesus. A key verse on repentance is 1 John 1...
