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.
