WE ARE TO MAKE DISCIPLES, NOT JUST CONVERTS

WE ARE TO MAKE DISCIPLES, NOT JUST CONVERTS
TEXT: MARK 16:15-20 
Key verse:  “Ye have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that 
ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever 
ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.” (John 15:16).

The Great Commission is all inclusive. The scope is the world, covering all peoples and tribes and nations. These have their norms and traditions, life styles and inclinations. We should preach with the aim of converting those we preach to. This is achieved by lifting up Jesus before men, telling them the truth, bringing them to repentance and faith in Christ.

God expects us to mature those who have accepted the gospel of Christ and make them conform to the image of Christ. Our aim is to do the following:
· Dissolve the convert's man-made traditions, human philosophies and make him conform to biblical doctrine and standard. 
· Change his personal, family and tribal inclinations to the inclination and  orientation of the new man in Christ. 
· Change his outward comportment and make him comply to biblical standard of Christian dressing.
· Remove his heart from the pleasures of this world and make him heaven-focused.
· Establish him in the word to enable him live a life of holiness.
· Make him know how to personally love the Lord, commune with the  Lord and be in increasing fellowship with Him.
· Train him on soul-winning to enable him convert and disciple others  as service to the Lord in hope of eternal rewards.
The Great Commission is an urgent assignment. Let all hands be on deck. 

Thought for the day: I will make you fishers of men. 
Song for the day: Here am I, send me. 
Bible reading for the day: Ezekiel 36-37; 1 Peter 3

For taking your time to study remain blessed. August Tuesday 27th TOPIC: CORRECT WATER BAPTISM TEXT: Mark 16:15-16 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The believer requires water baptism. The baptism that Jesus commanded is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is done by immersion in water because the three Persons are One. In Acts of the Apostles, the people were baptizing in the name of Jesus. They used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” to indicate that the baptism was carried out as authorized by Jesus, and the baptism authorized by Jesus is that which is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is not to say that they dip people in water and say, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” The name of Jesus cannot represent the Godhead. The Father is not Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus, Jesus is God who be
