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

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
