Disciples are not raised for PULPIT but for the kingdom
Disciple who labour at ushering point yet not stand on pulpit but you will see life of the kingdom in them .
Disciples can be in media unit yet not on pulpit
Some are raised as media men but knows nothing about spiritual matter .
When people want to gather fans they call it Discipleship meeting.
DISCIPLESHIP meeting does not have certificates. The only certificate you need is your life . If they give you Discipleship certificate, it means you have graduated out of Christ .
Egg that roll out of incubation and will never be useful
People graduate from Discipleship and make strategy to draw men and your life cannot sustain them you will look for something to sustain them .
In Genesis 17:1-7
God keep repeating something
Shows the heart of God -
"I will multiply thee"
"My covenant between me and thee
And your seed ... And unto thy seed after thee"
The principle of perpetuality
No matter how long a man live , he will go into eternity. God ushered in a principle of perpetuality
When God finds a man and succeed on a man
God gives him a seed (not a yam)
The seed here is a being
Someone of His kind
When the man is gone , that which God started with man will continue.
When God can not find a man to use , his agenda will wait. The earth he has given to men
The day God couldn't find the kind of man he will use , he became a man . It was still man that will do it .
The man Jesus became the Tabernacle of God . Man is still vehicle for divine agenda on earth.
Genesis 15- Abraham challenge God that He didn't have a seed . This is not just about Abraham but about God too. How God agenda will continue.
In genesis 1, God create animals after their kind , means God won't need to come and create again but their will be perpetuality of reproduction.
Genesis 17:7
I will establish my covenant as an everlasting covenant between me and you and your descendants after you for the generations to come, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you.
What is the lifespan of a burning fire ?
As long as the object under flame is combustible
Every fire is wood limited
The same way it is in the kingdom
The work dies when no man is to continue.
Two side failing
The man God commit the assignment
The people God is using the man for .
Orange seed.
Throw away the seed .
The seed is to be planted .
Start raising men .
The crowd scattered. Left with three young women .
If we don't get seed from crowd we gather
Our labour will perish like days of our father's.
Many gather admirers, fans ,
Many come for platform
Many look for someone to finance them .
What God told Joshua
As I was with Moses , I will be with you
Red sea path before Moses
Jordan path before Joshua ..
Joshua 1:5
No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.
DISCIPLESHIP is not raising men for yourself but for the Lord .
Some of our church have started taking Discipleship class as title
Disciple Tope
Disciple Temi
Disciple Bolu...
They do convocation and wear gown as disciple
Then you will be looking for Christ in their ship
If you miss the SHIP there are other ships
Bibles can be taught there but Christ will not revealed
DISCIPLESHIP is not procedure for raising ministers . Mark 3:14
Jesus called the 12 to be with him that he MAY SEND them
Being
DISCIPLESHIP is not train the trainer
DISCIPLESHIP is the only platform for rasing kingdom men .
I ask who do you follow ?
He Said I follow this person
Yet I don't see the life of that person in your life.
I know you're a fans not a follower
Some of you are disciples because you want names that will give you platform .
DISCIPLESHIP is not interesting, Many crowd left Jesus (John 6)
Many gathering along Ibadan road
Yet they are not disciples , they gather to get miracles .
DISCIPLESHIP is not a procedure for raising ministers but for rasing men God can rely on
You don't first know them on pulpit but by lifestyle. Their marriage always work even if their wife is not correct.
Disciples are not men raised to look like another man but to look like Jesus
Act 2:41-43
REvival is not crowd but raising men that conform to image of Christ.
Disciples should be the one to drive pastors but today pastor hire men to drive whose life with no Discipleship.
The driver should be minister of God
Labouring at kitching should be disciples .
We hired caterers instead of disciples .
Every one wants to be on pulpit
They want to minister on pulpit
No one wants to serve .
We have raised ministers
We have not raised disciples
We have raised preachers
We have not raised labourers
Act 6:1-6
Men of honest report .
DISCIPLESHIP is not about power but their report( reputable character) peoples report of you.
Not people that are less busy
Men that will serve food .
We have trained men how to preach but with no kingdom life
If you don't introduce discipleship
They will gather crowd but their character will send them away
When God was to raise a new leader after Moses , he didn't look for eloquent man but a disciple.
DISCIPLESHIP is life transfer methodology not bible transfer . This is not acting or mimicking.
If a man is anointed but no life , you don't have spiritual stamina . The life pattern after heaven.
Doctrinal teaching is powerful but not sufficient .
You can reproduce sermon of any pastor
But is the doctrine reflecting in your life?
It can become head knowledge but not heart knowledge.
Any sermon preach that is not first a lifestyle is hard to practice .
Act 1:1 All Jesus began to do and to teach .
Jesus teaching came from his lifestyle.
Peter said silver and gold I have not
Yet they're coordinator of the church
They don't take church money - ACT 3:6-17
In Act 4, Men took note of them and saw they were not educated but saw Christ in Them.
They have a lifestyle.
DISCIPLESHIP is not about sermon , it's about lifestyle .
The challenge we have in C & S today is not lack of preachers but the life of the preacher .
The preacher have two lives . One on pulpit and another outside pulpit.
The Revival of the church is reduced to good sermon not life . Men are watching your lifestyle not just your sermon .
Any sermon that has come to you that have not work for you is not meant to be preached .
PRAY
"LORD Help me not to waste your investment"
"May we not be the reigning pastor but men who show Christ as the pattern - the image of Christ. "
"May men be able to come out of you not as you but as Christ "
