Matthew 28: 18-20
And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

Jesus loved His disciples
He encouraged the disciples.
He comforted the disciples.
Do you love the people you are discipling? Are you willing to lay down your life for them?
|
Jesus spent time with His disciples
Jesus gave His disciples a clear and compelling vision: Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.
He taught them, corrected them, and admonished them.
Do you spend time with the people you are discipling? More than a few hours at church each week? Do you help them understand the enormity of the mission?

Jesus prayed for His disciples
He taught them how to pray, He prayed for them, He prayed with them.
Do you pray for the people you are discipling?

Find them
The Lord uses people like you and me to accomplish His will here on earth. Pray for the Lord to send someone for you to disciple; keep your eyes open for natural relationships. When you find them, pray for the Spirit to inspire them towards a lifetime of service.
Form them
Spend time together, study the Scriptures, pray with them, pray for them, tell them what is expected. Determine their interests and spiritual gifts. Everyone has a story; listen to them and learn their story. Be with them in times of joy and times of grief, celebrate life events with them, share meals with them.
Show them
Give yourself away, demonstrate how the Lord can help a person live and serve. Model minisity with them, take them with you, let them participate in service activities. Be a humble servant: Matthew 18:4. Be last (Mark 9:35), be least (Luke 9:48), and be low (Philippians 2:3). Have fun together!
Send them
Assign them to serve in a ministry,let them minister to others. Monitor their progress, and pray for them to find someone to disciple.
