To grow to maturity To help others grow We also were told the four (4) essentials for maturity: The Holy Spirit, The Bible, Obedience and a Spiritual Parent. INTRODUCTION Today, we will look at the mission for every disciple and the strategy that God has designed to fulfill this mission.

3 To be a Great Christian you need to have a Great Commitment to the Great Commandment and the Great Commission. The great commandment and the great commission are summarized in Love God and Love your neighbor. The Discipleship wheel will further help us understand how God expects us to carry out this divine mission. This wheel has components that describe six (6) aspects of the disciple s life. 1. The Hub Our great commander Jesus Christ. He dwells in us by the Holy Spirit who empowers us, gives us victory over sin and to accomplish God s will for our lives. 2. The Rim Great Commitment live in obedience to the two summary commandments love God and Love your neighbor. 3. Prayer One way we communicate with God and express our worship. Has five parts: Confession Adoration Thanksgiving Intercession Petition 4. Word through the Bible, God communicate to us everything He wants us to know about Himself and the true relationship we are to have with Him. There are five (5) ways we can get God s word into our lives: hear, read, study, memorize and meditate. It is through prayer and the word we can obey the first part of the great commandment love God. 5. Evangelism the means by which we share the gospel message of salvation with lost people (non-believers). The process of evangelism has five (5) parts: Selection praying for the lost Cultivation developing a relationship Presentation sharing the gospel Regeneration witnessing their rebirth Conservation following them up. Through evangelism we become fishers-of-men, Matt. 4:19 6. Discipleship is the end-product of evangelism. It is the means by which we relate with those already in God s family. It has five (5) parts: Submission making Jesus, Lord. Instruction receiving the word. Conviction Holy Spirit convicts us. Application we apply the word in our lives Reproduction we become fruitful in evangelism or disciple making. It is the key to guide us to growing to our full maturity. It is through evangelism and discipleship that we can obey the great commission - loving our neighbours as ourselves. Questions for Discussion 1. What are the six (6) elements of the discipleship wheel? 2. Why is the Hub important? 3. Why is obedience (the Rim) important? 4. What are the two commandments of Matt. 22? 5. (a) What two (2) elements enable us develop a relationship with God? (b) What two (2) elements enable us develop a relationship with our neighbours? 2018 FAMILY HARVEST Sunday 15 th Aug. 2018, Family Harvest 1. The Family of Mr. & Mrs. Chidi Ezeike 2.
