Discipleship: The Forgotten Command of the Church

Introduction:
The church is not just called to make converts, but to make disciples. A disciple is not merely a church attendee but a follower of Jesus committed to spiritual growth, obedience, and service.
The Great Commission
“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations… Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you.” — Matthew 28:19–20 (KJV)
Jesus did not suggest discipleship — He commanded it.
Characteristics of a True Disciple
- Studies and obeys God’s Word (Acts 17:11)
- Lives a life of prayer and self-discipline (Matthew 6:6)
- Stays in fellowship with other believers (Hebrews 10:25)
- Shares the Gospel boldly (Romans 1:16)
“Then said Jesus… If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed.” — John 8:31 (KJV)
Why Discipleship Matters
- It builds strong, spiritually mature believers
- It leads to multiplication through mentorship
- It sustains revival and spiritual transformation
- It keeps the Church rooted in Christ
Conclusion:
Discipleship is essential for spiritual maturity and Kingdom impact. If you are following Jesus, commit to being discipled and making disciples. This is how revival lasts.
