THE DICCIPLE’S MISSION STRATEGY

Text Matt 28: 18-20

Review

Last study we were told that God has two (2)

purposes for every child of His:

i. To grow to maturity ii. To help others grow

We also were told the four (4) essentials for

maturity: The Holy Spirit, The Bible, Obedience

and a Spiritual Parent.

INTRODUCTION

Today, we will look at the mission for every

disciple and the strategy that God has designed

to fulfill this mission.

To be a Great Christian you need to have a

Great Commitment to the Great

Commandment and the Great Commission.

The great commandment and the great

commission are summarized in Love God and

Love your neighbor.

The Discipleship wheel will further help us

understand how God expects us to carry out this

divine mission.

This wheel has components that describe six (6)

aspects of the disciple’s life.

1. The Hub – Our great commander – Jesus

Christ. He dwells in us by the Holy Spirit who

empowers us, gives us victory over sin and to

accomplish God’s will for our lives.

2. The Rim – Great Commitment – live in

obedience to the two summary commandments

– love God and Love your neighbor.

3. Prayer – One way we communicate with God

and express our worship. Has five parts:

Confession

Adoration

Thanksgiving

Intercession

Petition

4. Word – through the Bible, God communicate to

us everything He wants us to know about

Himself and the true relationship we are to have

with Him.

There are five (5) ways we can get God’s word into

our lives: hear, read, study, memorize and

meditate. It is through prayer and the word we can

obey the first part of the great commandment –

love God.

5. Evangelism – the means by which we share

the gospel message of salvation with lost people

(non-believers).

The process of evangelism has five (5) parts:

Selection – praying for the lost

Cultivation – developing a relationship

Presentation – sharing the gospel

Regeneration – witnessing their rebirth

Conservation – following them up.

Through evangelism we become fishers-of-men ,

Matt. 4:19

6. Discipleship – is the end-product of

evangelism. It is the means by which we relate

with those already in God’s family. It has five (5)

parts:

Submission – making Jesus, Lord.

Instruction – receiving the word.

Conviction – Holy Spirit convicts us.

Application – we apply the word in our lives

Reproduction – we become fruitful in

evangelism or disciple making.

It is the key to guide us to growing to our full

maturity.

It is through evangelism and discipleship that we

can obey the great commission - loving our

neighbours as ourselves.

Questions for Discussion

1. What are the six (6) elements of the

discipleship wheel?

2. Why is the Hub important?

3. Why is obedience (the Rim) important?

4. What are the two commandments of Matt.

22?

5. (a) What two (2) elements enable us develop a relationship with God? (b) What two (2) elements enable us

develop a relationship with our neighbours?
