Discipleship Training Course

PHASE 2 – LIVE THE JOURNEY
Matthew 6:33 Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live
righteously, and He will give you everything you need.
We see that there is basically 2 Major priorities; God and His
Kingdom, and our neighbour.
It‘s very simple that God should be first, as He is the creator of all
things, and we as created beings should above all else relate to
our creator first. We need to remember that creation was made
for man, but man was made for the creator.
―Love the Lord your God‖. Love-agape love(to value and prize
above all other things unselfishly). Real love is motivated to please
and bless the object of that love.
Love the Lord your God with ‗all‘ – a complete active involvement
of that entire area. Not just a partial representation of the area.
Love is always evident, so by putting God first we should have
visible attributes and evidence that He is the Lord of our entire
lives.
The kingdom of God is where He rules and reigns as the King. So
we are required to put God first by submitting to His word, rule and
authority.
Mark 12:31 Love your neighbour as yourself. No other
commandment is greater than these.
The second command, which Jesus states is of great value needs
to be viewed in the same light as the first. They are both bound by
Love.
If our fellowship is broken with God, it will be broken with man.
I cannot love my neighbour as I love myself, if I don‘t have a clear
Godly revelation of who I am. And I can only get that revelation in
a relationship with God the Father, where He affirms my worth and
value through the image of His son Jesus.
