Discipleship Training Course

DTC- DISCIPLESHIP TRAINING COURSE
THE TRAP
There is a trap that destroys relationships and utterly blocks any
form of discipleship in a person’s life and that is “OFFENSE”. Offense
is one of the enemy’s greatest weapons that he uses to break
Christians and keep them in bondage. We have to realize that to
be effective disciples and disciple makers requires good healthy
relationships. But if we are caught unaware, then it is easy for
offense to creep in and cripple a relationship, and block the
processes of discipleship on either side, all the way from receiving
through to giving. If offense is allowed to set in, it is no different to a
dam that no longer has an outflow, the water rots, and there is no
more life, and whoever encounters it or drinks from it is poisoned.
Let me briefly explain how it works.
Proverbs 4:23 Guard your heart with all diligence,
For from it flow the springs of life.
We cannot always control what comes into our ears or eyes, but
we can control whether it goes further down into our hearts or not.
If we don’t guard our hearts, the seeds of offense will go down into
your belly and start to grow.
