Be Transformed: Not just informed!

Set your mind on Godly things and guard your mind from
worldly things. Phil 4:18, Prov 4:23, Ps 119:9
1.
Study God’s Word – Have a Plan! 1-3 Chapters a day! 2 Tim
2:15. 1 Pet 2:2
2.
Memorize the Scriptures – Have a plan. 1-3 per week. Ps
119:11, Job 23:12, Jer 15:16
3.
Learn God’s words from others – It’s not about individualism,
join a community. Get a pastor who prioritizes God! Learn
from brethren weekly. Col 3:16, Heb 3:13, Heb 10:25, 1 Thes
5:11, Rom 14:19, 2 Pet 1:3, Prov 27:17
Our Goal is not just to believe his Word, but to obey his Word.

Fuel your Love and Affection!

Do you Love Jesus? Feed and Shepherd his lamb and sheep.
John 21:17. Luke 15: 1-7. Our aim is not simply to know God, but
to Love God!
1.
Worship! Life is worship. Do it alone, do it in all things, and
do it with brethren. Rom 12:1. I Cor 10:31, Heb 10:24,25.
2.
Pray! Have time alone with God regularly Matt 6:6. Pray
continually, stay in touch. 1 Thes 5:17. Pray together. Matt
18:19.
3.
Fast! From time to time. Start small, start with a meal, then
more, then frequently. Matt 6:16-18
4.
Give! Give Matt 6:1-4, Pray, Fast, Treasures. Matt 6:19-21. Our
money doesn’t reflect our heart. Our heart follows our
money. Church and Needy. Give

Be a Witness!

God’s WILL is for People to be saved! For the lost to be reconciled.
God’s Will for our lives is that we’ll find a way to align ourselves with
His WILL, in everything we are doing.
1.
Who? Write a Name List of 10 people who are unsaved or
dangerously deceived who are least likely to KILL you. Your first
assignment on this list is to pray for them, that God will draw them
to his Salvation.
2.
How? Be intentional is sowing seeds. Sew gospel threads daily,
with people on your list and people you meet. Pray daily to do the
work, and seek opportunities to do it. Be alert for opportunities to
share the entire gospel too.
3.
When? Don’t merely sit and passively wait. Be deliberate. Write a
letter, invite for lunch, sleep over, invite them for a meeting.
Don’t forget WHY! God put these people around you to reach them. You
were once that person. Someone sought you out!

11. +
Love! Share life with other believers

Am I committed to a local church and am I sharing my life
with other followers of Christ in mutual accountability under
the biblical leadership for the glory of God?
1.
Where? Find a Local Church that helps you to fulfill God’s
will and lock arms with other brethren to execute God’s
mission. If not here, find out where and function there!
2.
What? What can you do to lay your life down for your
brethren? Where can you function? Are there people you
can serve? How can you build others and be built up as
well? Where can you show love?

It is practically impossible to follow Christ without loving his
church. You need to be devoted to a family of Christians.

12. +
Make Disciples of all Nations!

The mandate is not just within our localities. We must be global
from day one, and start from our communities. You need to
have a role that reaches to the ends of the earth where God’s
glory must be spread.
1.
Pray for the Nations. Participate on your knees. They
Kingdom come. Matt 6:10
2.
Give to the Nations. Find a way to connect your money to a
missionary work. Join what your local church is doing.
3.
Go to the Nations. Strategically and creatively think through
how you can go, connect with them locally. Go for a short
vacation, long work related pursuit e.t.c.
We have given God a blank check on our lives. Take it to him,
and ask Him to lead you. Our lives should be spent for his glory.

13. Make Disciple Makers among a Few
+

This was the model Jesus used! He wanted to save the world, he
spent quality time with a FEW!
1.
Bring them in! Consider 3 or 4 people that God has put within
your circle of influence. Ask God for names of specific people.
Invite them to spend intentional time with them.
2.
Teaching them to Obey! Help them follow the previous
processes. Teach them to obey, check how they are growing.
3.
Modeling Obedience! Plan intentional ways to show what it
means to follow Christ. Let them participate in your following.1
Cor 11:1, Phil 4:9
4.
Sending them out! Send them out to do the same! Duplicate.
Continue to support them.
Jesus did these, and invited us to partner with Him. It’s a call worth
dying for for a King worth living for.
