Study7B...Conditions of Discipleship
Luke14:26-35
Look at this case study,Discipleship is like a different solid chemical with different solvent,a particular solid will never dissolve until they get to their own solvent..
Some people will never free to express themselves untill they get to that environment peculiar to them...
Every Christians is a disciple in the church,but if you want to know their true picture go to their solvent( environment peculiar to them,where they can really express themselves without the fear of their pastor, coordinator, member or their mentor...).some people solvent is their Home,working place,classroom,among Friends ,Hostel and others...
Below are the remaining conditions of discipleship, may you be bless as you go through them.....
The third condition of discipleship is GIVING UP EVERYTHING
Luke 14:33 reads: ““Any of you who does not give up everything……cannot……” ” To be His disciple must I forsake all that I have? Yes! It means I must abandon all claim to all that I have. It means ““hands off”” my life, my home, my loved-ones, my money, my possessions –- all that I have looked upon as ‘‘mine’’ –- I will now no longer have any claim to it. That is the meaning of true discipleship, and what a difference it makes to us when we come to this fulfilling place of renunciation, for if the Lord should take our loved-ones or our property away from us we at once recognise that He has only taken, in His wisdom and love, what is after all His own! How do you measure up to this standard? Will you always remember the precious truth embodied in Matthew 20:15?
The fourth condition of discipleship is CONTINUING
The scripture for this is John 8:31. Notice again how very clear it is –- ““If you hold to (continue in) my teaching, you are really my disciples””. To continue means to rest in Christ, to grow up into Christ, and to shape our lives in conformity to His Word and His will. It means to let His Word be the final authority in our lives and to seek every day to live in submission to that Word and in obedience to Him. Here is a very good test to apply when we are in doubt as to whether to take a certain course. Ask yourself, ‘‘Will it help me to continue in His Word? Will it help me to demonstrate in a greater way the reality and the sincerity of my discipleship?’’ How do you measure up to this? Are you reading, meditating and feeding on His Word, and are you running to obey Him? –- look up Psalm 119:97 and 103.
The fifth condition (or mark ) of discipleship is LOVING
We read about this in John 13:35. Love is the badge of discipleship that the world will recognise. Notice that it says –- “ “……if you love…”… ” –- not, ‘’If you pretend to have it, or talk about it, or sing about it’’! It is hard to be a real Christian, a true disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ, as these scriptures show, but how wonderful it is to be whole-heartedly His, altogether His, a committed and determined disciple of the Lord!
““You are not one of his disciples, are you?”” Can you say, ““Yes, I am!””
If you claim to be a disciple,Can you please show us the evidence mof your discipleship,beyond mere service...
Christ in us the hope of glory....
Let this mind be in you...Philippians 2:5
