Ask this question!

There is a question that I believe you must ask anyone you truly love! How they answer should not change how much you love them but it might change how they react to you for a short time! Only for a short time if you have shown that you truly love them!

The Question is: When you die? Where would you go? I have received all manner of answers to this question. Now that I think about it, I will start recording the answers I get from now on.

We would all die someday! As a disciple of Jesus you know where you are going to. You know also why you are going to be with Jesus! So when your friend responds, you can take the time to present the gospel to them!

Make sure you ask this question before presenting the gospel! It will help you know how to explain to them about the Kingdom of God and Jesus Christ starting from where they are!

After presenting the gospel, don’t be in a hurry to pray. Make sure they understand and don’t leave without giving them an opportunity to pray! If they are not ready to make a decision for Jesus, let them go and continue the friendship! God who loves them more than you do will give you another opportunity to pray with them.

Please pray a lot before asking this question! It is the Holy Spirit that does the work of conviction. However don’t pray for so long that you never ask the question. Click here for the steps to make a disciple

All that is Mine is Yours

How rich are you? Are you rich because you have a positive net worth? A lot of money in the bank? Does God see you as rich? Does that even matter? What do these words from Luke 15:31 mean?

I’m always happy when I read the parable of the lost son in Luke 15. There are 3 thing that make me happy but today I will only explain one. I will list the other 2.

I am happy because I sense the heart of God the Father! He loves us all and wants to have a relationship with us.

I am happy because I have been lost but now I am home. I have a very joyful and intimate relationship with God

The third thing that makes me happy is that I have access to all the resources of God our heavenly Farther! I am rich! Very rich and in fact I can never be poor! (Luke 15:31).

My brother, my sister it is impossible for you to be poor! You are from the family of the owner of the universe! He owns everything including the people! We lack only because we are still trying to have our own riches instead of joining with God and accessing all His resources! What we should be doing is meeting needs with our skills and making disciples of the people whose needs we meet.

So stop trying to get rich or pursuing wealth! You are only moving money from one of your accounts to the other. If you operate from the truth, the money you need will always be available (Luke 15:31?).

What I have noticed in this scripture is that if your chase wealth, importance, approval from people or even God by acting right, you only get some of the resources! And like the elder brother you will always feel as if you don’t have enough. Luke (15:29).

God has committed all His resources to one major project! What Project? Finding His lost Children. That is what would make our Heavenly Father rejoice! That is what Jesus our elder brother came to do! To seek and save the lost.

Today as you go about your daily activities, remember to use them to help in this project of finding the lost children of God!

If any good parent discovers that their child is gone. That he or she left home without warning! They would commit all their resources to find that child.

All our Heavenly Father’s resources are ours as long as we are committed to the project of making disciples! Seeking and finding the lost children of the Father. So we are rich! We are not looking for money! We are looking for people!

Talk to me: How rich are you? What are your thoughts?

Do you know your Super Power?

What sets you apart? What is it that you have that will make people say I want to know her secret? What did Jesus have on earth? What was His Super Power?

Jesus had all powers and still has all powers! But the summary of it all is Love! Yes that is it! Unconditional Love and Faith in God! Everyone wants to be loved! Respected for who they are. They want to be judged by their intentions and valued!

You will be set apart if you allow Jesus to express His super powers through you! I’m always asking the Holy Spirit to manifest Himself through me! And I find that the first step to being used by God is love! When you are filled with the Holy Spirit, you are filled with love! You are filled with compassion! You embody all of Jesus! The world around you would wonder why you have so much peace, hope, joy and love!

I remember reading about Smith Wigglesworth when he was still a plumber! One of the rich people he was working for was convicted by the peace and joy that she could feel around him!

What makes you stand out? It is Christ in you!(Col 1:27) Your super power is Jesus in you! He manifests in many ways but the most basic and universal way is love (John 13:35). It is by love that all the people would know that we are the disciples of Jesus!

Jesus wants to work love in and through you and I . So that every one that knows you would wonder how you and other disciples like you can love like that!

Jesus! Please live freely through me! It’s by obedience! I choose to obey your instructions Lord!

Steps to Disciple Making

Making disciples is a lifestyle. It is the Jesus lifestyle. There are steps involved in the process. I have discovered that if you take disciple making or outreach as just a program you would greatly reduce your effectiveness!

  • Accept the call to make disciples
  • Pray for people all around you (
  • Meet the needs of the people around you as much as you can. (Matt 10:8)
  • Make friends genuinely
  • Present the gospel to each one as soon as the permit you to and you sense that they are genuinely interested.
  • Continue to build the friendship regardless of their response to the gospel
  • Continue to pray
  • Continue to make new friends
  • Help those that are saved to live like Jesus and love like Jesus
  • Introduce them to your church family along the way
  • Encourage them to make friends and make disciples
  • Continue to meet needs, make friends and make disciples for the rest of your stay on planet earth!

From time to time (many times) our Boss the Holy Spirit would change the script and make things way faster! Go with the flow!

If you want to get better at making disciples, the best place to start is with the BiVo Minister Course.
