Discipleship - Preacher

Let us start with a question. How do you choose to be, a preacher or a disciple of

Jesus ?



Let me analyze this for you.



































































Day to Day



If you be a disciple you follow

the word of God in your day to

day life.



A preacher talk all the

time about Jesus and

God. Give massive

inspiring speeches to

massive masses.



LifeStyle



You can choose your life style.



Should watch every step

in life as he represents

God.



Can Do for God



Be an example of Word or Be

the Message by living a good

life in Jesus that is abundant.



Can teach everything but

can’t make big difference

than any hypocrite.



What we can be in

God



Being one who go through it,

but still live righteously and

happily, can be the best

evidence of Word of Lord.



Can not influence life

from its basic

understanding.



Influence Others



Can not influence in a day and

so many. But to the little the

influence will be irresistible.



Can influence a large sum

of masses but it make no

great impact on pre

Christians.



Results of our acts



Can practically eliminate all

controversial issues.



Can explain based on

Scriptures and try to tell

it abstractly, which many

may can’t comprehend to

believe in.



So now consider, if you are a disciple, you can live happily with the abundance of

life as God promised us. And we can make a lot of influence on others life around

us and help them realize God. But you can not influence a lot of people. Right !


Right ?!



I tell you this, No, you can make a world of children of God.



You may ask, “ How ? A preacher can speaks to a thousand and make at least 10

followers of Christ in just one sermon . A sermon a month makes 120 a year. How

can I who can hardly influence one make a world of Disciples of Christ. “



I tell you how ....... consider there is this preacher who go to one person each day

and he is so great a preacher he just make the person follow Jesus. So he can make

365 followers, who believe and pray Jesus, a year. And as you say you influence

just one of your nearest relative or friend and he/she become a Disciple of Jesus. Let

us make a chart for easy analysis.

So, a Disciple can make a difference but a learned Reverend Preacher can’t. That is

why Jesus said make Disciple of the world but not the followers. And it is with 12

disciples, whom Jesus choose from very awkward lifestyles, did he able to build

...... how many in the world now ........ more than half of the world believe in him.

So you can be the one who make two and so the world.
