Your connection with Jesus gives passion. Passion gives
motivation. Passion makes your sharing compelling. It
is passionate people who make a difference.
Love another enough to give them time. Be present, sit,
listen and empathise without judging. Enter their world
with no agenda other than to connect with them and
show compassion.
God will work everything you give Him for good, both
good and bad. God makes things beautiful, brings
healing and makes things whole. Help others bring
God into every part of life –the good parts and those
deepest, darkest parts that need God the most!
Jesus’ presence transforms you. This enables you to
reflect Jesus and walk with integrity. Jesus’ presence
also gives you a heart to disciple others.
Help others to see what a life in God’s presence
LOOKs like. People struggle to understand anything
they haven’t seen, so make Jesus visible in you. Let
others observe a life in God’s presence. Be that role model.
The goal of discipleship is to have the image and
likeness of Christ restored. When you disciple
another, the goals is Godly transformation of heart
and mind by God’s power, not just an improvement in
behaviour.
Discipleship is a journey TOGETHER. It is providing opportunities to watch, learn, try and experiment, then
to do. Whether ministering, serving or worshipping, do it together. Invite another to watch and learn, to get
involved, and to give it a try. As their skill and confidence develop, step back and give greater independence.
Disciple them and let them disciple you in return. Grow together. Every step forward, every good thing God does on
the journey, celebrate! Acknowledge the goodness of God and the miracle of growth in each other.
Connecting with Jesus gives you an experience of Jesus. You see his
character and experience his faithfulness. The story of who Jesus is, and what Jesus
has done in your life, is your gift to help others find hope in Jesus themselves.
Every culture and tribe has stories. These tell who they are, and what matters to them as a people. Your life, words and
attitudes also write a story. This story tells others who you are and what your value. Choose to write a story of God’s
faithfulness in your life and relationships.
At the heart of discipleship is understanding. Discipline corrects
behaviour in the short term, but disempowers. Discipleship is about
guiding in understanding so others can make the best possible choices for life and
eternity. Empower others to take hold of God and their own life by grace.
