DISCIPLESHIP BYTES

Can we learn to hear God's voice more clearly?

Jesus, our Lord, is the perfect example. He did nothing on His own initiative, He only did the Father's will. (John 5). Whatever He saw the Father doing, only that He did. He heard the Father speak and spoke only what He heard.

For most of us, this kind of experience is next to impossibility. But this is exactly the kind of relationship the Lord wants us to have with HIM. The problem is not on His side, but it is on our side, we have not developed a closeness with Him. (John 10, Heb 5).

We would rather be close to people than to HIM. We would rather be religious than relational with HIM. We would rather prefer to attend gatherings multiple times in a day than spend time in His PRESENCE everyday seeking to KNOW Him. We would prefer prominence than His PRESENCE. 

It says in Exodus 33:11 "And the Lord spoke unto Moses face-to-face, as a man speaketh unto his friend." Moses was so desperate for this kind of relationship that he asked for more. He asked God, "please show me your Glory".

Philip was desperate to know the Father, and He asked Jesus, "please show us the Father" and Jesus had to correct his understanding, and said that He was the Father Himself and the Father was in Him. (John 14).

Today the believer in Jesus has the greatest blessing and potential of meeting and speaking with the Father FACE-TO-FACE and hear His voice clearly. How? Because the King of Glory has already come in to DWELL in us. The KINGDOM of GOD is within you.

"Wake up you sleepyhead city
 wake up you sleepyhead people
 For the King of Glory has already entered you."
                                                       -Psalm 24:9 MSG

Discipleship Thoughts - our New Location

-
Hello Disciples, Warriors and Saints! This is my new HIDE-OUT  to document my DISCIPLESHIP THOUGHTS . I have been receiving some feedback lately to 'enlarge my boundaries'. So, I took this new step to ' SPREAD OUT MY WINGS ', like our father of faith, Abraham and start walking on the 'terrain of the vast promised land'. I also felt this is an opportunity to reach out to a larger audience. Starting today I will only post the links to the DISCIPLESHIP THOUGHTS in our groups, especially for those of us who are still interested in reading my content.  Please feel free to drop by, stay connected, comment and share your thoughts here. Shalom!

Be anxious for nothing - FCRA or No FCRA

-
Hello Friend, Good Morning! How are you today? Have you been following the news? There is a lot of discussion among NGOs, many of whom seem anxious about what may be coming their way. Recently, I came across several news reports about the FCRA amendment bill, which has raised concern among many Christian NGOs. Some view it as a harsh or restrictive measure and feel targeted. At the same time, there could be valid reasons for the government to introduce such legislation. Can we deny that a small percentage of NGOs have failed to maintain financial integrity in running their institutions? In such cases, the violators should be held accountable and their licenses revoked. As the Bible says, “a little leaven leavens the whole lump.” Some unscrupulous NGOs have brought disgrace to the name of Christ. As Christians, we are called to a higher standard of living, and in this context, running our institutions above reproach is non-negotiable. However, with regard to propagating one’s faith, the...

Do our gatherings truly HELP us?

Do our gatherings truly HELP us grow?   I have noticed  that more and more gatherings  these days, looks more like a  “ Sunday entertainment" center, it  is HARMING than  HELPING God's people from  becoming  ROCK SOLID DISCIPLES . Our meetings should not be just a place for a lot of TALK, Emotional SINGING and Fun , however it should be a place where we are STRENGTHENED, EMPOWERED AS DISCIPLES  and SENT OUT  to be effective witnesses. When a gathering does not have DISCIPLESHIP as its CORE MISSION , then it has already moved away from the Biblical BLUE-PRINT of the Ekklesia .  If you find yourself in such a place, WHAT SHOULD YOU DO? The next best thing I can think of is to earnestly pray and look out for a fellowship which has Discipleship as one of its CORE pillars . That's it for now. Hopefully we will meet again in the next post. Until then, let us continue the journey of renewing our minds .   Shalom!
