THE COST OF DISCIPLESHIP
•
1 like•216 views
To truly follow Christ requires considering the high cost. Jesus said that to be his disciple one must hate all other people and possessions, even one's own life, and carry their own cross. Salt is only good if it maintains its saltiness; otherwise it is useless. We must put Christ above all else in life, as we were bought with a high price through his sacrifice. True salvation is free but demands everything from the follower, who must be willing to give up comforts and possessions to fully serve God.

Matt 28:16-20 The Great Commission
The document discusses Jesus' commandment to his disciples to make disciples of all nations. It explains that this means transforming people into followers who learn from Jesus, not just converting them as believers. The key is to win people over through healing, bring them into community, and equip them to obey all that Jesus commanded through teaching. Disciples are made by discipling, baptizing, and teaching people to follow Jesus' example in their lives with his continual presence and support.
One God Explanations
The document discusses the identity of Jesus Christ based on passages from the Bible. It asserts that Jesus is God incarnate, who took on human form to sacrifice himself for humanity's sins. The cry of Jesus on the cross, "My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?" represented him experiencing the punishment for humanity's sins in our place, as the perfect substitute and fulfillment of prophecies about the Lamb of God.

Visions
This document provides an overview of a seminar on learning to prophesy through visions.

The seminar aims to provide guidance on developing the gift of visions so people can share their visions instead of leaving churches. Preparing one's senses through sanctification can lead to the spiritual realm. A vision involves supernatural appearances or revelations from God. The seminar will include quick activations to demonstrate signs and re-educating one's
The making of a disciple ppt
The document discusses the key elements that must be present in a disciple of Christ. It begins by stating that becoming a disciple starts with a decision to follow Christ and continues with ongoing decisions. It emphasizes that disciples receive instruction from Jesus' teachings and must step out in action by doing what Jesus commanded, such as healing, preaching, and making other disciples. True commitment requires taking up one's cross daily despite challenges. Disciples must also increase their faith through believing God can do anything and find strength through God during difficulties. With power from the Holy Spirit and God, and motivated by love, disciples can do greater works than Jesus and will be identified by their love for one another.

presentation on christian discipleship
Christian discipleship involves a lifelong transformation process of following Jesus' teachings.

HOW GOD TESTS YOUR FAITH
God tests the faith of those he intends to use. The document discusses how God tested the faith of biblical figures like Noah, Abraham, and Moses through impossible tasks, major changes, delayed promises, unsolvable problems, senseless tragedies, and prolonged pain.

Prayer, Faith and Obedience
The document discusses the keys of prayer, faith, and obedience in hearing God's voice. It states that through regular prayer and developing a personal relationship with God, one can hear His voice in thoughts of encouragement. Having faith in God without proof is also important.

081817 The Cost of Discipleship
Jesus teaches that to truly follow him as a disciple requires considering the high cost, just as a builder considers the cost of construction or a king considers the strength of his army before going to war.

Half-heartedly following is not sufficient; true discipleship demands giving up everything to honor God with one's life.
Designing your Life
The document discusses what it means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ. It references several Bible passages that indicate disciples must deny themselves, take up their cross daily, and follow Jesus above all else, even their own lives and family.

COUNT THE COST I Commitment or Involvement?
CORRECTION: Myles Munroe not Maxwell said, "The greatest tragedy in life is not death but a life without purpose'.
COUNT THE COST I Commitment or Involvement?
Winning the lost at all cost is the battlecry of those people deeply challenged to follow Jesus after a tear drenched encounter with God. Following Jesus is not based on random initial impulse or impetus. It is a serious thing not based on overstimulated emotion. Much more it is based on a firm steadfast decision. In the same way as we all know, love is not an emotion but a decision. In following Jesus, commitment played a very vital role. The best picture of commitment is a skydiver. He is willing to jump no matter if the parachute would open or not. Many who entered serving the Lord easily gave up simply because they just responded to the hype of the moment. Other reason is that SELF started to kick in because of some pressing needs and their life purpose was shove off to the other side of the fence. This topic that we are about to delve into will give us an insight that saying 'yes' to the Lord is not because you copied somebody's response to the challenges. Serving God is a PERSONAL thing. Serving is between you and God? Pause for a moment and check out. What do you have? Commitment? or Involvement?
QUESTIONS TO PONDER:
1. What do you think would be the repercussion of a person unprepared for bigger challenges?
2. In your personal definition, what is COMMITMENT? Give illustrative example of something or someone that demonstrates commitment.
3. What are those things that you think are threat to your PERSONAL COMMITMENT of SERVING GOD?

The Cost of Following Jesus.pptx
Luke 14:25-33 discusses the cost of being a disciple of Jesus. Jesus says that to follow him, one must hate their father, mother, spouse, children, siblings, and even their own life. One must carry their own cross and renounce all their possessions. Jesus is making the point that being his disciple requires total commitment and comes before all other relationships and belongings in one's life.

THE CROSS I
The document discusses Jesus' crucifixion and the physical wounds he endured, including heavy sweating that caused bleeding, scourging with lashes, crowning with thorns, being nailed to the cross with 7-inch nails, and being pierced with a spear. These physical sufferings fulfilled prophecies and brought spiritual healing by forgiving sins and oppression, cleansing from sins and inner wounds, and taking away mockery and shame. Key passages from the Bible are referenced to support these points.
THORN IN THE FLESH I God's All-Suffiecient Grace to Deal with Toxic People
THORN IN THE FLESH I God's All-Suffiecient Grace to Deal with Toxic People
Many of us like Apostle Paul has that burning desire to serve the Lord. But along side in our journey, there are things or someone that seem to derail us from the God's eternal purpose for us. Something or someone pricking your conscience as they are placing you in great bondage in order for you not to continue. In this topic we will be delving out how Apostle Paul described his struggle and where he found his strength in overcoming those things. Thorn in the flesh here is not the usual thought you have in mind in which many 'controversialized' it long time ago. Let's us sit together and feast in God's revelatory insights to each one of us!
WISDOM IS POWER: In your Getting, Get Understanding
God blesses those who obey Him and bring their full tithes into His storehouse. God promises to "throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it" for those who honor Him with their tithes and offerings. However, some speak arrogantly against God and claim it is futile to serve Him. The document discusses the spiritual blessings believers have been given through Christ, including redemption, forgiveness, wisdom and understanding from God. It encourages gaining wisdom and understanding from God rather than mocking knowledge.
INVISIBLE TO VISIBLE
This document provides biblical passages that describe the creation of the heavens, earth, light, day and night, sky, land, seas, and vegetation over six days according to the book of Genesis. It then provides a passage from Hebrews that says faith is understanding that the universe was formed by God's command out of things that are invisible, not things that can be seen. Further passages discuss faith as a title deed, assurance, vision, like a mustard seed, and being sure without doubting. The document explores the nature and meaning of faith through various biblical references.
WHY LORD I Are You Relentlessly Questioning God?
WHY LORD? I Are You Relentlessly Questioning God?
Have you asked God this question? "Why BAD things happened to GOOD people?" This is a common question reverberating across the planet coming from those people who are uncertain and questioning the character of God. But have you come across with this question, "Why GOOD things happened to BAD people?" Those people having the messed up and faulty concept of God see everything around wrongly to the point of blaming God for all the misfortunes that they are experiencing. Sometimes the FINITE creature would ask the INFINITE Creator, " I thought you are all-powerful, all-loving, all-wise, all-good, "Why all of these things happened?" In this topic we will go together exploring to have a glimpse of the INCOMPREHENSIBILITY of God. Some questions we will be answering is that, "How does God see us in the midst of our pains? What is in His mind? Hope to get your revelatory insight about this topic as we welcome you to engage by posting your opinions, ideas, suggestions on the comment section on our provided down below.

1. How does the revelation of the Father impact your life?
2. How would you describe a good Father??
3. How would you respond to His goodness?
EXTRAVAGANT LOVE I Forgiven Much. Loves Much.
This document discusses how people would respond to God's extravagant love and forgiveness. It notes that those who are forgiven much, love much, as Jesus said to the woman who anointed him. God loves people with an everlasting love and draws them with unfailing kindness. The document encourages accepting one another as Christ accepted us, loving one another as Christ loved us, and forgiving one another as God forgave us through Christ. It concludes that everything we do for God is a response to his love - we are loved not because we are valuable but because we are loved we are valuable.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

LUKE 14:25-27
