How to do Discipleship “Jesus had a heart for the nations, but knew He could reach the world through the 12.” Is. 60:22 = “…One can become a mighty nation…” Mark 3:14= “Jesus raised 12, so that He might be WITH them…” 1Thes. 2:8= “Share not only the Gospel, but your life…” * This all starts after follow up… * Point of discipleship is to mature all in Christ and to reproduce. * Discipleship must be one on one to truly be caught by another. (Ex. Elijah and Elisha or Paul and Timothy)… A. Establish them in a Quiet Time Daily - The discipler should teach and do a QT with the disciple. - A good tool is “7 Minutes with God.” -The Goal for a QT should be in the morning (Ex. Mark 1:35= Jesus arose early to be with the Father). (Ex. Eph 6 = The Armor of God) should be put on before the daily battle takes place. What soldier puts their armor on after a battle? - Keep an attitude of excitement about receiving from God’s word, so they will get excited about it. - Increase their spiritual diet as they grow. Have them have longer QT’s as they grow. - “…When people get too much too fast they quit, but give them what they are hungry for.” A2. Establish them in QT by a reading plan. - First, have them read through a Gospel (preferably Mark or John) to have them focus on who Jesus is. This will help develop an intimate relationship with God. - Have them pick out a favorite verse for each heading or chapter, and keep a record of it. - Tell them to meditate on the verses they have chosen throughout their day. - When they finish the Gospel chosen, have them pick 3-5 verses to memorize. - Teach them to apply God’s word, by asking the 3 application questions: 1. What impressed me the most? 2. Where do I fall short? 3. What can I do about it by God’s grace? (The applications should be SPECIFIC and they should be kept accountable to it). (We are to be a “hearer and doer of the Word).” - Then get them into an organized reading plan. (Like read the Bible in a year…) B. Do a discipleship series with them. *Suggested: Navigators, Design for Discipleship books 1-7. Make sure to start this after follow up books (Lessons on Assurance and Lessons on Christian Living). * Do the Topical Memory System with the books and other scripture memory for the other suggested studies.

* Suggested follow up and discipleship plan is: Lessons on Assurance Book Justification Lessons on Christian Living Book Design for Discipleship (DFD) 1 Book The Trinity Water Baptism DFD 2- After “Conversing with God” do Fasting Finish DFD 2 Separation DFD 3 Praise, Worship & Thankfulness Fearing God DFD 4 3 Aspects of Man DFD 5- After “The Holy Spirit” do More on the Holy Spirit Spiritual Gifts Healing Finish DFD 5 Heaven The Enemy Hell The Bema DFD 6 DFD 7 C. There are many resources to enhance one’s growth also. * (This can be during discipling…or when they are done with all the above)… - Remind them to regularly review scripture memory to keep it fresh. - Have them learn to follow up and disciple others (“pass on”) what they are taught. - Suggest them to get the Navigators “Life Issues” scripture memory packet. - Suggest them to continue on scripture memory through sermons, QT’s, or other Bible studies they do. - Do group Bible Studies with them. ( Ex. Faithfulness, Available, Teachable (or known as FAT) study, exhaustive book study (like DFD 7), topical study or even a Bible character (or known as ABC) study). - Have them learn to lead these studies with a group. *Pr. 16:9- Man makes plans, but God determines His steps. -We have a plan, but must remember to allow God to add to it (or alter it) for one’s personal needs. But, this should not be an excuse for lazy disciple making.
