Category: Inspiration for Disciple Making

God has used Olu and I to plant 4 churches so far since 2005. That was when we did not know about Disciple Making Movements that are planting churches in thousands.

In every city that God has sent us, we have always found people who want to know God and who have been prepared by God to work with us. And these people are always people who we had never met until we got into that city.

God has many people in every city. Wherever God puts you, be sure that He has people there. Even at your workplace! These people will receive you and the gospel.

“And the Lord said to Paul one night in a vision, “Do not be afraid, but go on speaking and do not be silent, for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many in this city who are my people.””
‭‭Acts‬ ‭18:9-10‬ ‭ESV‬‬

We are now learning to empower these people of God and equip them to plant smaller and more replicable churches.

This week look out for people that God has placed at your workplace to help with sharing the good news of the kingdom of God and new life in Christ Jesus! They may not know Jesus now but they would be open to you even when they know that you love Jesus with all your heart.

To find these people or this first person, you would need to show your love for Jesus and speak about Him.

You would not know that they are people who are open to God if you don’t show that you love God.

Loving people is a very good way to show your love for God and then talk about God.

There are many things we can learn from this pandemic. Here are just two that apply to disciple making.

Every Disciple must be equipped to replicate anywhere

I don’t like to compare the life of Christ to a virus but just like the virus that does damage by replicating quickly and repeatedly the disciples of Jesus are to replicate the life of Christ quickly and repeatedly and shine as light in a dark world and bring love to a selfish world.

We must do whatever it takes to help everyone connect with Jesus!

Although some countries did not do as much as others. Nevertheless, most people made a lot of sacrifices to help flatten the curve of those that were being affected by the virus.

So also all believers must do all that lies within our power to get the message out. We must make all efforts to get Bibles into the hands of people and show them the power of faith in the Lord by leaving live filled with unconditional love!

Please share your lessons with me if you have any! I love reading from you and it makes the post richer.
