Discipleship must have a clear philosophy.

• The philosophy of Jesus was to Disciple other men

who would disciple others .

• Definitely better to make a disciple-maker than to make a disciple.

Three keys to making disciples :

• An Intentional discipler = There is a plan.

• A Relational discipler = a process.

• A Reproducible discipler = Multiplier of disciples.

Jesus had a plan :

• Make disciples of all nations ,

• Teach all things,

• Joining with us until the end.

• Do you have a plan for your life?

• Is your plan according to the plan of Jesus ?

What is the result of making a disciple-maker instead of making a disciple.

• Be sure that disciples can perform spiritual disciplines.

• Be sure that the disciples, may live and teach the spiritual disciplines as a lifestyle.

• The multiplication of disciples unto the third and fourth Generation .

Why discipleship must be so important for the church? And Church planter

• Because Jesus practiced it.

• The disciples made disciples .

• The early church made disciples .

• The largest church planter in the NT did so .

• Timothy made disciples.

• I Do

• You do

• Next generation needs to do.

The generational challenge of discipleship.2 Timothy 2:2

What you HEARD FROM ME ( a disciple )
