WWW.VICTORY SERIES: Make Disciples

“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always,
to the very end of the age”
Matthew 28:19-20.

A person’s final words are the most important words that he will say. Jesus’ last words before he joined the Father were to go and make disciples and baptizing them. Jesus came to bring salvation to all those who believe. This gift is not just for us; It is meant to be shared. Everywhere, people are searching for the truth and the world offers so many cures to what people are going through. As Christians, we know the real Truth. We must rise up and tell the world the real gospel because the only way that people can be cured is to understand the gospel of Jesus Christ.

WHAT WE NEED TO DO:

1. Follow God.

“Come, follow me, “ Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men”
Matthew 4:19.

“And anyone who does not carry his cross and follow me cannot be my disciple”
Luke 14:27.

Before we can make disciples, we must first have a relationship with God. We cannot give what we do not have. Following Christ means that there will be difficulties ahead. Do you still want to follow Christ?

“But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it”
Matthew 7:14.

2. Fellowship with fellow Believers.
Fellowship means “life shared.” God wants us to have genuine relationship with the people of God. This can happen in small groups where we can be more intimate and personal with each other. Our gifts can operate within small group settings where we can pray for one another and encourage each other (Hebrews 3:13; Hebrews 10:25). In small groups, we will encounter people who are as imperfect as we are. Jesus started his small group of 12 imperfect men who later on made a difference in the world.

“Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates correction is stupid”
Proverbs 12:1.

3. Fish for men.
Jesus’ heart is for the lost. We must obey when God says go. We honor God whenever we follow His great commission.

FOLLOW JESUS AND HELP OTHERS TO FOLLOW HIM.
