disciple is student who has disciplined their lives with the
teachings and lifestyle of the Lord Jesus Christ. This work is to

for spiritual growth and critical for kingdom advancement in the
earth. 5. MANDATE TO MAKE DISCIPLES At the Lords Ascension into
Heaven he gave a command to make disciples of all nations. (Matthew
28) This command has not changed. It is the work and word of
reconciliation. (2 Corinthians 5:17- 20) Discipleship is more than
just sharing biblical knowledge. It is growing, maturing, and
training others into spiritual maturity. (1 Thessalonians 2:3-13)

-Matthew 5:1 9. THE CALL OF DISCIPLESHIP Jesus called ordinary men
and developed them into supernatural leaders who turned the world
upside down. The Lord calls men and women to follow him from all
walks of life. The call is to all but not all respond to the Lords
call upon their lives The call of discipleship means to accept the
Lords right to rule and reign in our lives. 10. THE CONDUCT OF
DISCIPLESHIP Jesus has called us to follow him. Once we do that our
lives should look like his. The Lord has called us to serve others
through practical and through supernatural ministry. The conduct of
a disciple should reflect the fruit of the Spirit(Galatians 5:22)
and the manifestation of the Spirit (1 Corinthians 12) 11. THE COST
OF DISCIPLESHIP The cost of Discipleship involves laying down our
lives for the plans and purposes of God. Jesus must be first in the
life of a disciple Although it may cost to obey God but it will
always cost more to disobey him Losing your life is the only way
that you will truly find it. 12. REVIEW & FINAL WORD Disciples
are students of the Word We are all called to be a disciple of the
Lord Our lives should reflect Jesus in principle, power, and
practice Discipleship costs laying down our lives Part of the Great
Commission is to make disciples. Training disciples can be a messy
but it is well worth it.
