Usually we have a question that is commonly answered by us, very simply.
The question is, "What did Jesus make?"
And we say, well, He made disciples.
And that is correct.
He made disciples.
But are you really asking a little bit further?
What kind of a disciple did He make?
You know what?
I would answer it:
He made READY to be USED and READY to GO disciples.
Meaning He made disciples because of an APOSTOLIC Assignment.
They have to be SENT forth, they have to be SENT OUT.
So now, have you noticed He made sure that He will be with them and they will be with Him.
But after that, they have to LEAVE, they have to GO.
What are they to do?
Let's see.
What did they do?
Number one, they preached.
Yes, the Kingdom of God.
Number two, they taught people.
Yes, they delivered people.
They ministered to the sick and to the lowly and to the outcast. They delivered people from demons.
They casted out demons.
They healed people.
So brothers and sisters, what kind of disciples are we making at His Life Ministries?
I'm asking that because our statistics would say, yes, hallelujah, we have DLG leaders, discipleship life group leaders. Okay. At the same time, we have apprentices called preachers.
Should we have apprentices called HEALERS? TEACHERS, DELIVERERS, CASTING out demons PEOPLE, people who can .... we can say like Jesus?
In the future and in the book of Ephesians it says: Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors and Teachers.
What disciples are you making?
It's supposed to be these five:
Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors, and Teachers.
Are we just creating preachers?
Or are we also wanting to see people who can DELIVER others?
Let's make.
Make APOSTLES!!
