AM I HIS DISCIPLE? | MAKING DISCIPLES | Matthew 28:18-20 | Pastor Elvis Ghansah

So your submission to God gives you authority and power over your enemy. So there is power in submission. You know, the world makes it makes it looks like when you are submissive, you are weak. But submission in Christ is not weakness. It's it's it's rather a source of power to back you. Authority. It gives you authority over your enemies. I pray that God will help you, and God will help me, that I will continue to walk faithfully, diligently. [00:58:56] (41 seconds)  #PowerInSubmission

Many times, people pray to God to help them with something, maybe a job or whatever. Give them a child. And when God has blessed them with those things they were praying for, they now use those things as a reason and a justification why they can't serve God well. Why they can now now they cannot be the disciple they ought to be, which means Jesus is not the first place in the in their life to begin with. That is, you know, being unappreciative.

To be a disciple is a selfless commitment. It's a kind of sacrifice that must cost you everything. You are saved by grace through faith. That one is a free gift. But walk with him comes with a price to pay. Amen. To walk with him comes the door, a price to pay. Many people are not prepared to pay the price. They are not prepared to bear the cross or to pay to pay the cost. They just want to enjoy the benefits that come from him, but not the commands that he gives [00:53:20] (47 seconds)  #CountTheCostOfDiscipleship

You cannot be a disciple if you are not a humble person. You have to really be very humble to be a disciple. Praise the lord. You have to be humble because there are you you may not have things done the way you want all the time. You have been disciple because not you don't know everything, and you are trusting in his faithfulness to lead and to guide you. God is involved in discipleship making. The holy spirit is involved in discipleship making. Jesus is involved in discipleship making. [00:46:19] (40 seconds)  #HumbleDiscipleship

You need to make time for the things of God. Because you want the whole if you want time or you want to have enough time before you serve God better, you're not gonna have enough time. Because things are getting busier and busier as the day goes by. We are developing new interests as the day go by. But if Christ is first and center of our life Amen. We'll factor him in in our busy schedule. That's what discipleship is about. [00:57:00] (34 seconds)  #MakeTimeForGod

So how is your life? What is your life teaching the people around you? What are your worst teaching the people around you? Very important. A disciple is not above his teacher, But everyone, when he is fully trained so as he trains us, we now come to a point of becoming like him and also doing what he did. No. He called a bunch of people to follow him while he was on earth, Jesus. [00:42:47] (40 seconds)  #YourLifeIsTeaching
