Discipleship Training Course

DTC- DISCIPLESHIP TRAINING COURSE
For Christians, our meaning comes from Christ and living out his
mission on this earth, and through this lens we can figure out what
that means for us as individuals.
An individual spirit takes away from the image of God
God has given each of us different talents, personalities, and
insights that all represent a unique part of who God is, which
means we individually and holistically represents Him. As image
bearers of God, when a person removes oneself from the church
whether physically or simply in the heart, a piece of that image
goes with you along with the talents that God has given you. And
you end up distorting Gods image in and through your life.
An individual spirit works against the mandate of the church
As the church Jesus commissioned us to go into all the world and
preach the gospel to all. But when I think that my needs, desires,
and well-being is all that matters, it stands in conflicts with the
mandate of the church to reach the world. We are all like puzzle
pieces. We each have a unique shape and unique colours that
when left alone offer no clear picture at all, but when placed
together can offer a beautiful image an image of Christ. When we
resist selfish individualistic thinking and keep Jesus and the
mandate at the centre then we will fully come alive.
I’m sure you can see how sly the enemy is, and how he wants to
pervert Gods plan and ways within us
If you want to make absolutely certain that your heart is pure in this
regard, then simply submit to the body and serve. For it is in service
especially in the places of no public honor or bright shiny lights that
the heart is truly revealed. You see from the heart flows the issues
of life, so turn open the right tap and you will see what comes out.
