Our lives only begin to make meaning and find purpose when we connect
our lives with the one who died to give us His life. All of our lives
placements and achievements are God’s platforms of expressions. We have
been given a platform, a unique position in society. We are meant to use it
consciously to do our God given assignment.
Col 2:6‐7 – Live Christ! School Over, it’s time to practice!

5. What does God expect from Us?
• The GREAT Commission, Matt 28 ‐ 18 And
Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All
authority has been given to Me in heaven
and on earth. 19 Go therefore[a] and make
disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in
the name of the Father and of the Son and of
the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe
all things that I have commanded you; and
lo, I am with you always, even to the end of
the age.” Amen.[b]
• Acts 1:8 “But you shall receive power when
the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you
shall be witnesses to Me[a] in Jerusalem, and
in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of
the earth.”
• To Disciple: Train, Teach and Instruct
• To Witness
• To Minister

6. Definition of Terms
Ministry
• ministry is an activity carried out by Christians to
express or spread their faith, the prototype being
the Great Commission. 2003's Encyclopedia of
Christianity defines it as "carrying forth Christ's
mission in the world”
Disciple
• The term "disciple" is derived from the Koine
Greek word mathetes, which means a pupil (of a
teacher) or an apprentice (to a master craftsman),
coming to English by way of the Latin discipulus
meaning a learner while the more common English
word is student.
Witness
• A witness is someone who has, who claims to
have, or is thought, by someone with authority to
compel testimony, to have knowledge relevant to
an event or other matter of interest
• In Greek the word witness means Martyr, one who
bears witness by his death

7. Examples of Platforms – 2 Cor 10:13
Work, Job, Career, Business
• Your Job, your career, and your business
are platforms for you to be a witness and
carry on the work of Jesus. How would he
like to live through you this week?
Neighborhood, Community, City,
• You were placed by God where you are
deliberately, think about the people he has
placed around you, how would you allow
Christ to live through you this week?
Sphere of Influence
• God has deliberately given you access to
some people. Some of them can see you,
some read you, some touch you. How can
they experience Christ this week?
God has given you a Platform

8. Expectation of Witnesses
Tell all you know
• Simply tell the truth about Jesus Christ to
those around you. You don’t need a college
degree or High IQ, you just need to know
the truth.
Tell what you have experienced,
• Do you have a personal relationship with
Jesus? Is he alive to you? Do you have a
testimony? Church is not the place to share
it. Do the telling, the Holy spirit will do the
convincing. Belief and experience is
important.
Be loyal to the end
• Be willing to speak up for him wherever.
Even willing to die for him. Be Bold,
Cooperate with the Holy Spirit. He wants to
live out through you, let go! When you
don’t feel like it, when things are hard,
difficult, sad. All the way.
God has given you a Platform

9. How to START – Matt 5:14‐16, Matt
10:40‐42
Shine the Light where you are!
• God Put you there because he wants to
shine His light there, don’t cover it up. Do
good, share the gospel.
Be generous with your lives!
• God is doing things in your life so you can
share with others. You want God to do
more? Share more.
Consciously Engage
• Write, Speak, Touch, Love! Give a cup of
water, package a meal, gift or message. Get
out of yourself to reach out to others. The
smallest work makes you a disciple or
apprentice.
God has given you a Platform

10. Consequences of Using Your
Platform for God
The Boat – Luke 5
• When he uses you, he gives you access to
what you couldn’t get yourself
5 Loaves and 2 Fish – Matt 14
• When he uses what you have, there is
more than enough left.
Hannah and Samuel – 1 Samuel 2/3
• When you make yourself available for him,
you’ll get more than what you wanted.
