DISCIPLE-MAKING-DISCIPLES PART 2

(1) DISCIPLESHIP HAS A PERSON THE HOLY SPIRIT

PSALMS 127:1NLT “Unless the Lord builds a house, the work of the builders is wasted…” Building on: Program Promise and Power Reason or Revelation

INSTRUCTION: Luke 24:49 “And now I will send the Holy Spirit, just as my father promised. But stay here in the city until the Holy Spirit comes and fills you with power from heaven.”

500 HEARD ONLY 120 HEEDED 1 Corinthians 15:6 “After that, he was seen by more than 500 of his followers….” ACTS 1:15 “During this time, when about 120 believers were together in one place…..”

Received supernatural power to be witnesses (Acts 1:8) The power of This small group TURNED ENDURED SILENCED

The power of discipleship is replaced with the programs of man. You remove..You lose

Peter The Coward Became Peter The Champion

2. Discipleship Has A Plan

Ephesians 1:9-11 nlt God has now revealed to us his mysterious plan regarding Christ, a plan to fulfill his own good pleasure. and this is the plan: at the right time he will bring everything together under the authority of Christ- everything in heaven and on earth. furthermore, because we are united with Christ, we have received an inheritance from God, for he chose us in advance, and he makes everything work out according to his plan.

ISAIAH 26:18 DECLARES, ISAIAH 26:17-18 NKJV As a woman with child is in pain and cries out in her pangs, when she draws near the time of her delivery, so have we been in your sight, O LORD we have been with child, we have been in pain; we have, as it were, brought forth wind; We have not accomplished any deliverance in the earth, nor have the inhabitants of the world fallen. ISAIAH 26:17-18 NLT JUST AS A PREGNANT WOMAN WRITHES AND CRIES OUT IN PAIN AS SHE GIVES BIRTH, SO WERE WE IN YOUR PRESENCE, LORD. [18] WE, TOO, WRITHE IN AGONY, BUT NOTHING COMES OF OUR SUFFERING. WE HAVE NOT GIVEN SALVATION TO THE EARTH, NOR BROUGHT LIFE INTO THE WORLD.

The Church Is Pregnant With Destiny BUT: Are we bringing forth WIND? Or Are we bringing forth DISCIPLES?

IGNORANCE: INFANTS: SHARE The Dead Must Be Alive……. SHARE: The Gospel (Bridge, Bring) The Infants Must Grow Up……Share: Your Life, (Build) Share: The New Truth, (Build) Share: New Habits (Build)

SELF-CENTREDNESS: CHILDREN: COMMIT/CONNECT Commit Or Connect Them To God Commit Or Connect Them To Purpose Commit Or Connect Them To “CONNECT GROUPS”

GOD CENTREDNESS AND OTHERS-CENTRED: YOUNG ADULTS: TRAIN/EQUIP Train Or Equip For Ministry: Instruct Train Or Equip With Opportunity To Minister: Illustrate And Involve Train Or Equip To Release Into Ministry: Improve And Inspire

INTENTIONAL STRATEGY: PARENTS: RELEASE Release To Discipleship Process Release To Disciple Along With Mentor (G-pastor Or Connect Pastor) Release To Disciple-making-disciples By Self (Broadcast)

3. DISCIPLESHIP HAS A PEOPLE

PSALM 133 Harmony Is As Precious As The Anointing Oil..... Harmony Is As Refreshing As The Dew.... In That Place The Lord Pronounced His Blessing.

Ezekiel 47:9-10 NLT There Will Be Swarms Of Living Things Wherever The Water Of This River Flows. Fish Will Abound In The Dead Sea, For Its Waters Will Become Fresh. Life Will Flourish Wherever This Water Flows. Fishermen Will Stand Along The Shores Of The Dead Sea. All The Way From En-gedi To En-eglaim, The Shores Will Be Covered With Nets Drying In The Sun. Fish Of Every Kind Will Fill The Dead Sea, Just As They Fill The Mediterranean..

1. NET WITH HOLES: LACK OF BIBLICAL TRUTH LAZINESS LACK OF ENTHUSIASM LACK OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD'S HEARTBEAT LACK OF PASSION LACK OF COMPASSION

Spirit Of This Generation.... INDIVIDUALISTIC, INDEPENDENCE, INWARD LOOKING We Need To Have A NETWORK AN ACCOUNTABILITY

4. DISCIPLESHIP HAS A PRICE

EAGER BEAVER EAGLE GATHERING

INSTRUCTION WITHOUT IMPARTATION INSTRUCTION WITHOUT ILLUSTRATION INSTRUCTION WITHOUT INVOLVEMENT INSTRUCTION WITHOUT IMPROVEMENT INSTRUCTION WITHOUT INSPIRATION.

5. DISCIPLESHIP HAS A PASTOR

John Maxwell Often Says, “Everything Rises And Falls On Leadership.” “Where There Is No Vision, The People Perish” (Proverbs 29:18, KJV).

THE END
