Every day I am in training as God prepares me to be a disciple in order that I might disciple others. I usually ask myself some questions like…
- what Christ-like character and habits does God want me to develop and demonstrate?
- what does it look like to “fear God?”
- for what is God preparing and equipping me?
- in what ways can I help others rely more fully on God instead of ourselves?
The other day I received an amazing podcast along these lines, and it went even deeper. If it had not been sent to me, I am sure I would not have listened. I could not go another day without sharing it with you. It will be the best 22 minutes you would have spent if you are asking the same questions I am.
It comes with the mindset of the Kingdom and how we walk in it and it comes with an edge on counselling. It was a freedom setting for me. Enjoy.
Come to think of it, who would I say is a better model of what a disciple looks like? Would we say Peter or would we dare say the Canaanite women who met Jesus on the street? One a cornerstone of the church and the other a pagan woman, unnamed?
Jesus answer to the woman gave me some insight into what my prayer life could look like.
He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” – Matthew 15:24 ESV
I was thinking that maybe I need to be more focused looking more geographical or particular people group approach.
