Growing up I heard people say things like: “A journey of a hundred kilometers starts with one step”, and “little drops of water make a mighty ocean”.
These things are very true for every goal you want to achieve.
To achieve a big goal, break it into very small bits and repeat those small steps consistently and you will achieve your goal.
To write a book, you can write a sentence every day. If you can be disciplined enough to write that sentence every day, you would have a book written eventually. Some days you may write a few pages and other days you may struggle to finish that one sentence but after some time, the book will be done! Right?
The same principle works for disciple making.
Let’s break it down into smaller steps that you can repeat every day and every week.
- Pray every day for a lost person by name
- Spend at least 1 hrs daily alone with God (you can do it in 1-4 chunks)
- Make someone smile every day (don’t worry if they are believers or not. Just love people unconditionally and pray for them).
- Go out among the lost and aim for a meaningful conversation every week (this doesn’t need to be a spiritual conversation).
- Trust God to invite someone to do a Discovery Bible Study once a month.
- Pray with another believer about disciple making for at least 30mins once a week.
If you are doing these consistently and looking out for people of peace, you would soon begin to see Discovery Bible Study Groups start.
