SIGNS of DISCIPLESHIP

HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT 
Christian DISCIPLESHIP 
is on-going in this CHURCH Group?
LifeGROUP?
OUTREACH group ... or even in your BIBLE GROUP?
MINISTRY GROUP?
MISSIONS GROUP?
---------------------------------------------

DISCIPLESHIP IS RELATIONSHIP
(man to man      lady to lady)
(COUPLES with COUPLES)

(YOUTH among YOUTH)
(MARKETPLACE people among MARKETPLACE people)

- coz there is INTENTIONAL Follow-Up.
- coz there is REGULAR Appointments to check how people are doing.
- coz people land in Small Groups to grow and be challenged.
- coz this cycle is repeated again and again to NEW guests and worshippers.
How to INTENTIONALLY Follow-Up?
*over a cup of coffee or meal
- meet
- sit
- talk
- teach
- pray
(curious about the word "the 33"?
-- it means:  just doing this regularly for 30minutes to 33minutes or more!) 
THAT "33" will be good enough to impart something with someone :-)
DO NOT BORE PEOPLE with 3 HOURS of meetings :-)
just "the 33" is enough with care, love, direction and impartation.
are you doing "THE 33?" YET?

Christian Discipleship Continues when …
THE NEXT GENERATION AND THE NEXT AND THE NEXT would:

- meet with NEW ONES.
- sit with NEW ONES.
- talk with NEW ONES.
- teach with NEW ONES.
- pray with NEW ONES.


Biblical DISCIPLESHIP involves:  (taken from Psalm 1)

- walking in step
- standing with
- sitting in the company
- delight in the LORD

BIBLICAL DISCIPLESHIP (taken from Deuteronomy 6)
IMPRESS THEM ON ... (on your children)

- TALK about them
- when you SIT at home and
- when you WALK along the road,
- when you LIE DOWN and
- when you GET UP.

THE JEWISH STYLE OF DISCIPLESHIP ... it is more than a "MEETING" .. it is an "IMPRESSING" ... a "FLOW"
... a "LIFESTYLE" from waking up to lying down. From Sabbath to Sabbath :-)

NOTE:
The spirit of control should never be in Christian Discipleship.
Rather an atmosphere of RELEASE  or Empowerment must be in effect.
There must be TURN-OVERS not TAKE-OVERS.

WARNING SIGN:
When a disciple is more attached to a disciple rather than to hear the Voice of God as revealed in the Bible and Personal Communion with the LORD.
