Discipleship Is Real Work
As a shepherd, let it be in your consciousness that your work is not done when you introduce a soul to Jesus. Ensuring that person is discipled is even more laborious. Embrace it and let God strengthen you to work on it.

When you remain close to Jesus, He will empower you to stay humble like little children in order to serve, thereby becoming great in the kingdom of heaven.
Every establishment that is not God-ordained will eventually fail. It could be a business scam, an idea that promotes evil, or activities that don’t honour God. All those things will come to nought with time, no matter how much money is dedicated to funding such works.
Blessed are you when you rejoice in Jesus’s marvellous works in another person’s ministry. Ministry isn’t like a business where there is competition. No! It belongs to God. Let Him direct you as you do it.
As a believer, you are already in the Spirit (see Romans 8:9). You got translated into the Spirit the moment you were saved. But even though that’s your spiritual position, walking in that realm requires intentional followership of the Word and Spirit’s leading in your life.
Dear Christian, you must conquer the fear of man in anything you are doing. When you fear people, you’ll not be yourself in your own space. Fight off this evil affecting this generation, making people live as hypocrites and liars because of what people will say about them.
According to 2 Peter 1:8, if, as a believer, you possess and abound in virtue, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, brotherly kindness and love, you’ll not be barren or unfruitful in the knowledge of Christ. Simply put, you can’t possess these qualities and remain an ordinary Christian. It’s just impossible.
God doesn’t want you to suffer from spiritual myopia, which can blur your discernment to see and follow His plan for your life. He wants you to be effective in your walk with Him.
Many individuals live life feeling as though they are unnoticed, unimportant, or unappreciated, which is very disheartening. Dear friend, you are precious to God. That is why He has individual plans for you (see Jeremiah 29:11). Don’t belittle yourself!
Do you want to stand out in anything you are doing as a believer – church-related or not? You need the anointing of the Holy Ghost on your mind and hands.
Even if wicked people are rich enough to have built permanent houses, even full of luxury, in the end, all those possessions will be destroyed. But for righteous people of God, even if they are struggling to find a permanent place to live, they shall flourish where they are.
Every person who was in Christ while physically alone and his name has continued to remain in the world, still impacting lives, is a manifestation of the promise of the Word — that whoever does the will of the Father will live forever. Their impact still exists, and they will shine brighter in heaven, also.
