Today we will be considering six Discipling principles from the life Christ in John 17 that we can also apply to our lives and situations.

Come along with us for more…. Praise the Lord somebody… our Lord is good… all the time He is good.

Six Discipling Principles From The Life Of Christ In John 17 That We Can Also Apply:

  1. Jesus’ first concern was for the glory of the Father and the Son: “FatherGlorify Your Son, that Your Son may glorify You.” (John 17:1; also verses 5, 10, 24)

Therefore, everything we do in the ministry must focus on Him rather than us. (Galatians 6:14)

  1. Jesus appropriated His God-given authority in order to do the ministry: “For You granted [Christ] authority over all people… ” (John 17:2)

Therefore, as sent ones, we must not be deterred by the fear or opposition of man. (John 20:21; Proverbs 29:25)

  1. Jesus was given men as a gift from the Father: “I have revealed You to those whom You gave Me out of the world. They were Yours; You gave them to Me… ” (John 17:6; also verse 2)

Therefore, we are to prayerfully ask God to give us the people whom we are to disciple.

  1. Jesus’ mission was to get people into an intimate relationship with Himself and the Father: “Now this is eternal life: that they may know Youand Jesus ChristI have revealed You to those whom You gave Me out of the world.” (John 17:3, 6; also verses 21-23)

Therefore, we must focus on developing intimacy with God over engagement in activities.

  1. Jesus recognized the centrality of God’s Word in His disciples’ spiritual growth: “I gave them the words You gave Me and they accepted themSanctify them by the truth; Your word is truth.” (John 17:8, 17; also verses 5 and 14)

Therefore, we are to make every effort to build God’s Word into our disciples’ lives. (Acts 20:32)

  1. Jesus’ disciples came to understand that they were to be “in” the world but not “of ” the world: “The world has hated themMy prayer is not that You take them out of the world but that You protect them from the evil oneAs You sent Me into the world, I have sent them into the world.” (John 17:14, 15, 18; also verse 11)

Therefore, we must prepare our disciples to utilize the weapons of spiritual warfare in order to win over the enemy in his territory. (Ephesians 6:10-18).

Are you blessed beloveth… did you read this- that You are in the world and not of the world… does that minister to your Spirit? Yes! it did to me… if truly you are for Christ beloveth…. You will understand why the world hates you… you will understand why you are constantly under the attack of the devil, you will understand why they say no to you… because you are not of the world…

But Jesus has prayed for you… therefore you are comforted… Praise the Name of Jesus…

So now that you know likewise build in same in the lives of those you are disciple and they will grow with faith not fear in Jesus Name…

Likewise also if you are yet to come to this knowledge of this truth… May God send you the need help and understanding in Jesus Name… Amen!!! Alleluia!!!

Always remember this is the heartbeat of our heavenly Father …. “Therefore Go and preach the goodnews… make disciple of all nations according to Matt.28:18-20…. And we say Amen!!! in Jesus Name… God will manifest Himself when you obey His command…

Further Reading-Rom.13:14, Matt.28:18-20, 2Cor.3:17, Jas.1:6, Rom.8:37, Eph.2:5, Eph.4:30.

Remain blessed in the Lord.
