We look for things we can do together. Search in the web for things to teach our disciples/members in the group. And sometimes try to look in the bookstore FOR BOOKS we can use as teachings materials.
But JESUS never intended it to be a difficult task.
Jesus' discipleship method is so simple.
That's why even multiply.com use it too:
1. Post
In the dictionary, it means, to display, to make available, to publish.
In discipleship - it means to be available, to make your voice clear for people to know what you stand for and believe.
Can they see a clear message of the gospel?
Or does your message confuse them because its not the same as the message you are preaching?
MAKE YOUR MESSAGE CLEAR.
LIVE YOUR LIFE AN EPISTLE.
I like the saying of St. Augustine
" Preach the gospel at all times, if necessary use words"
2. Invite
Jesus' style of discipleship has always been personal.
Let's not make the big mistake that "meetings" will cut the deal.
Jesus invited Zacheus, Peter, Andrew, James and John and others to his home and himself to their homes.
It's sad that discipleship leaders are sometimes so impersonal - that they only want to be seen in meetings and never show their disciples how they live their normal lives.
Jesus even went to one of the Pharisees house to give him an audience.
Luke 7:36 Now one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to have dinner with him, so he went to the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table.
Will you go?
3. Search
"To seek and save the lost" was Jesus' life work.
He was deliberate in the search.
Sometimes we just say "Bahala na si Lord, kung sino ipadala nya - ok na"
