 Good evening, saints. I trust that you are all keeping well, and this fad the Lord has brought you, and we are all gathered here together, just in praise and honor of his name. Please feel welcome in the house of the Lord. Let us pray before we start. Father in the mighty name of Jesus, we are coming before your presence, with thanksgiving in our hearts, because you never cease to be good to us. We thank you for your protection, we thank you for your care, and we thank you Lord because you have just been with us throughout since we met last. Father Lord, we come here in honor and in praise of your name. Dear Father, we pray that you bless us with the presence of the Holy Spirit, that that which you have for us this evening, dear Lord, that you may be able to speak to us in a special way. Give us a soft heart to listen to your word, and Father that we may be transformed by your word. I commit the speaker, the one that you have anointed this evening, to speak to us. Father Lord, I pray that you touch his lips with call, and that you prepare him to speak to us that which you have prepared for us. Be with us throughout the fellowship and the worship time. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen. I welcome you once again, and this evening we are going to be encouraged by the theme that we already have, that are you ready to disciple me? That's a question which our elder is going to take us through and focus the message on. Our scripture reading for this evening is from the book of Matthew chapter 9, Matthew chapter 9 verses 38 through to, 37 through to 38. Our scripture reading is from the book of Matthew chapter 9, verse says 37 through to 38. And the word of God says, then he said to his disciples, the harvest is truly plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest. I repeat, when he said to his disciples, the harvest is truly plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest. May God bless this reading. At this point I welcome our elder to speak to us through to that text and pray that the Holy Spirit may lead him through the session. Welcome once more all the saints. God bless you. Praise the Lord. I want to take this opportunity to thank God for this privilege that is given unto me to be able to speak to us. I want to welcome each and every one of you, wherever you are, so we can be able to share together that which the Lord has prepared for us when it is the first pass. I want to thank my sister who has read to us the key verses and we are going to dwell on those verses. Get to know what the Lord has for us today. But before we go on, I would want us to pray. We seek the Lord in prayer even as we begin the session. Let's believe and pray. Our gracious Lord, our Father what in heaven, we humble ourselves that you feel this afternoon. Indeed God you've been with us this morning and you brought us into your house, the house of praise. We invite you Lord God that as we start this session that you may speak to us in a very special way. Invite the Holy Spirit to minister to us and to direct us that at the end of it all may honor, glory and honor be unto you. Be with us from the beginning at the very end our prayer in Jesus' name. Amen. So the title of our discussion this evening is going to be Are you ready to disciple me? And as we go through this session I would want you to pick a few things that will help you, help me to be a disciple. The key bus says I want to repeat to read in a nutshell the key bus says I want to repeat to read in a nutshell it says then he said to his disciples that is Jesus quite speaking the harvest truly is plentiful but the laborers are few therefore pray the Lord of harvest to send out laborers into his harvest say in that question that I've put across are you ready to disciple me the key word there is disciple and we are going to dwell more on discipleship what is, who is a disciple who is a disciple indeed as the scripture said harvest is plentiful the Lord is asking that the laborers are few he is asking that we can actually be able to be part of before I go further I want us to read a few texts that tells us of what we require to do even as we see the time that we have is too short one book of Matthew 24 verse 14 it says and these gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations and will come before Christ comes the message of the gospel has to be preached to everyone then the end will come then you go to haks chapter 1 verse 8 but you shall receive power when the spirit comes upon you and you shall be my witnesses or will be my witnesses to me in Jerusalem in Judea, in Samaria the hands of the world this is Jesus Christ giving instruction telling, giving talking to your disciples before your life to see and you shall receive power when the spirit comes upon you and you shall be my witnesses you shall be my disciples you shall be the ones telling others about Christ then I come to the question who is a disciple how define a disciple as someone who lives every day love Jesus and to bring others to him you get it a disciple is someone who lives every day to love Jesus and bring others to him in other words the question disciple is trusting Jesus Christ every day while he ships my life and sends me to disciple another God is calling us to be the disciple makers calling us to reach out to others not knowing so that I can be able to be part of the bigger family the question is will you disciple me there is a question that children ask ask as parents ask as mentors are we ready to disciple them are we ready to take them from the level they are so that they can actually be able to have a connection with Christ so when Christ comes they also be ready for him I will take you to the book of Matthew chapter 4 and here we are finding two fishermen they have come at the port let me put it that way in simple words after a catch for the night there is Peter and Andrew his brother they were commercial fishermen they knew their trade very well they had told the whole night and they had fished it must have been very successful in their business I would say they were successful seafarers in other words you are men that are good in fishing because that is what they are trained that is what they had been trained to do I presume probably it might have been a morning that they have done whatever they were doing the night and now they have come and they are ready to package their products there is a fish ready for probably export probably for selling probably for selling and getting earning we are not very sure if it was a morning if it was an evening but one thing that I am sure of is these two brothers were good in their business in their trade in their profession they were fishermen and they were ready to do that which they had been trained for but amidst all this Jesus walks into their world Jesus is walking walks into their world looks at them and this is what he says come follow me and I will make you fishers of men come follow me and I will make you fishers of men this story is recorded in Matthew chapter 4 verse 20 and this is what they did Matthew chapter 4 verse 20 once they left their fishing vessels their fishing nets and followed him they left their occupation they left their trade they left their job they left their livelihood and followed Jesus no longer fishing going for fishing but fishing men the question comes to you are you here to experience business as usual are you here are you hungry to experience more about Jesus what is your expectation even as we go through this discourse what is your expectation for ears as a church played a great foundation for our children arobi central AC church we have dedicated teachers that have been teaching our children from the teens class even the adults and they have been dedicated to teach our children in the sabah school but finder venturers some during bible vocational school during the cup meeting just about to prepare these children for the kids just about to prepare them to be able to meet Christ when he comes a second time these ministries basically provides foundation that prepares the children that prepares them the way to be able to walk with Christ to live for Christ I am going to take you through a seven step strategy to grow children for Christ is my prayer that as we go through this we may be able to pick one or two things that will help you ready to disciple me in this case a child of God a child that has come into your presence in church or a child that has been born to you in your home how are you going to disciple this child so that he can be able to be connected with Christ and be ready for Christ when he comes a second time I believe as we go through these steps to be able to learn one or two that will help you to equip your child to be a follower of Christ as I mentioned a few minutes ago Andrew and Peter left their trade left what they were doing I believe some of us are doing great jobs great work but we give time to our young ones Peter had to leave his business in order to go and fish for men what are you going to leave to assist to help disciple these children that have been given a few weeks ago Minister of the Lord came to be able to baptize very many children these children are with us we need to disciple them we need to direct them we need to lead them the work is great but the laborers are few that is why we are being called to come in and be part of this team these children bring them closer to Christ so that they can actually be able to be ready for him when it comes the second time indeed the job is cut out the assignment is already defined for you as a mentor as a parent and as a leader what are you going to do to be the primary mentor of your children that God has given us in church what are you going to do the work is with us and we need to move and take the opportunity so that these children can be prepared for the kingdom I am going to start with step one one step one is build your relationship with Jesus the book of Luke chapter 1 chapter 18 verse 16 children came to Jesus two mothers came with their children so that Jesus could bless them but I believe the disciples felt they were disturbing Christ this is what Jesus said I would want you to get note of that Jesus said let the little children come to me what are we doing to help these children connect with God connect with Jesus how do we build friendship for Christ because as the Bible puts it there is no other name under heaven that we are saved by apart from the name of Jesus Christ 4 verse 12 we need to lead our children to accept Jesus Christ as a personal savior and begin to grow daily with him Mark chapter 1 verse 35 says very early in the morning before the stand came up Jesus could go to a solitary place and have prayer he had to pray and seek God he had time alone with God what we refer to as tag ya before you do anything that should be your practice at home that is what connects us with Christ we read the scripture we studied we pray and seek him in prayer we get connected with him we have daily appointment with him to talk to him to converse with him tell him our burden each and every day then we will be able to grow with his children closer to him so that is the first step let us lead our children to our connection with our savior Jesus Christ that they may know that if Christ was to come today they are going to go with him to heaven prayer that we may be able to create time as mentors to be connected with Jesus because you cannot be able to give what you do not have let's be connected with Jesus create time for ourselves in our homes solitary place it could be your living room it could be your bedroom at least some time with God to read the scripture and to talk to him let it be a practice and this will help us children as you do it assist the young man also to be able to go through so that he can actually be able to grow in the faith step number two invite Jesus to be Lord of your life invite Jesus to be Lord of our lives I take you to the story of Joseph Joseph a young man is taken captive in the land of Egypt brothers jealous about him young man could be 16 years old still a teenager finds himself in the house of Potiva and Joseph is tempted by Potiva's wife so when Potiva's wife tempted Joseph Joseph hard to say this I'll just pick a point out of that to read how then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God Genesis 39 verse 9 Joseph is in a foreign land he is alone but he knew his Lord he knew God personally infact if you read starting from the beginning of the chapter God says everything that he taught God blessed infact the family of Pharaoh and the family of Potiva God blessed because of the presence of Joseph in the family and he left everything to him but when it came to the test of time when Potiva's wife tested him Joseph hard to say what I've said how could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God he had invited Christ to be Lord of his life we need to crown Jesus the king over our time over our talent and over our treasure those are very important things that God has given us he's given us time he's given us talent and he's given us treasure we need to allow God to be Lord of them for us to be able to be a part of Christ we need to invite God we need to invite Jesus to grow our character it takes me back to other verses in the Bible as I was reading as I was going through this I came to think of these three Hebrew boys yeah they were tempted yeah when you go to Daniel chapter 1 verse 8 Daniel says any papas in his heart that was not going to sin against God when you come to chapter 3 the king makes a statue and puts it in Dura and these young men are told the king says when you hear this sound of music it gives a command you bow down to this golden image that he had made at the plains of Dura everybody did bow but these young men did not so they are reported to the king these people that you put in charge of your things they are not following you and when that happens they are told and given a second chance and this is what I want just to pick even as we move on Daniel chapter 3 verse 16 to 18 I am basically touching I think it is verse 17 let it be known to you o king that we do not we do not serve your God nor we worship the golden image which you have set these young men knew who to worship we need to lead our children to know who to worship we need to ground them so that they can actually be able to stand and serve God even when you are not there as a parent, as a mentor step number 3 let's help our children know the truth of Jesus I refer to the book of 2 Timothy chapter 3 verse 15 and this talks about Timothy Paul talking about Timothy he says before I come to that he says that Timothy had the faith that originated from his grandmother Lois that was in his grandmother Lois and his mother Eunice he believed it was also in him that is in Timothy and this is what he says about the truth about the word of God the truth about Jesus Christ and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Jesus we need to teach our children the truth about the Scriptures they actually is bad of God good for doctrine for reproof for instruction that the man of God may be equipped to do good works that is the next verse verse 16 when you read the book of Deutronomy chapter 6 6 to 9 is something that we are being advised to do I am going to just quote verse 7 teach them diligently to your children teach them diligently teach these young ones diligently no joking no playing your children and he gives prescription of how we are going to do it one when you talk to them when you sit in your house when you walk by the way when you lie down and when you rise that is the advice that we are being given we should not waste any opportunity to mentor to guide to direct these young ones to Christ are you ready to mentor me are you ready to disciple me are you ready to lead me to Christ that is a cry of our children I hope you are saying you are taking up the challenge so let the children discover how to understand the Bible for themselves let the children lead them to understand how each biblical doctrine impact their relationship with Jesus make a lifelong commitment to order our lives or your life by this truth that we are finding in the scriptures Bible says this is the way follow it let's make it a point in our lives by the grace of God to order our lives in such a way that we live as by the precepts that are in this in the scriptures in the word of God because God has given us is to build us to help us know Christ to have Christ as our personal savior and let it be spoken of us that these ones are able to follow the truth to the letter and serve Christ as Lord and Savior of their lives I want to go to step 4 and step 4 is discover Jesus vision for you as we go through this I believe you as a parent you as a mentor you as a leader in your own sphere you need to discover Jesus vision for you as an individual what is the vision of Christ for you and what is the vision for Christ for your children for your child Paul says this verse 6 when he is encouraging this is what he says stay up fun fun into flame the gift of God which is in you which is in you through the laying of hands through the laying of my hands what is the vision that Christ has for you as an individual we need to identify you need to identify your spiritual gift talent and passion for ministry we need to discover God's unique vision for you for how you will share Jesus to your world your world could be in your office your children we start from Jerusalem before we go to Judea to Samaria and to the ends of the world start with your children start with your family start with the people that are close to you lead them to Christ direct them to identify their spiritual gifts so that they can actually be able to use it to lead others to Christ immediately after you have identified your gift immediately begin to use that gift for the sake of the gospel of God I just want to echo what the glorious corral has been doing these are children that are using their talent of singing to praise God to do those work and remember they invited to minister in the hope for Africa and I believe many were blessed because of that minister of the children they are not too little to serve God let's give them the opportunity so that they can actually be able to use their gifts to be able to reach many souls to be able to reach many people and be able to draw them closer to Christ so discover Jesus vision for you as an individual you have a gift that God has given you you have a gift that you have been given by God and God is requiring you to use it for his ministry to reach out others that have not known about Christ if it is singing sing if it is preaching preach preach because that is what God has given you in fact as you use it it become multiplied but if you don't use it what happens you lose it so I would want to propose that you use the gift that God has given you that is step 4 use the gift that God has given you to be able to serve him to be able to draw many to Christ to be able to lead your children to be able to guide the children to know God and to serve him I want to go to the next step step number 5 step number 5 is share Jesus with your friends share Jesus with your friends what comes to my mind is this little maid is taken away from his home from her home in Israel and she finds herself in Aram in Syria in the house of this general Naaman and she sees Naaman in trouble is serving Naaman's wife and she sees her in always sad why the husband had labrosy and this is what she sees she knows of a prophet where they have been taken from who could be able to help this general get better this is what he says if only my master was in Samaria he would cure him for his labrosy there is 2 Kings 5 verse 2 and 3 if only my master would see the prophet who is in Samaria he would cure him his labrosy he knew something that Naaman and his wife would know and she denotes just sit that is it but burning within her heart she went forward and give a solution if only Naaman was in Samaria and meet the prophet of God he will be healed we need to share Christ because if we direct people to Christ he is going to save them let's direct them to Jesus let's direct them to Jesus because Jesus is our only savior they made new of a prophet in Samaria I believe we need to learn how to make friends for Jesus Jesus our savior our creator the one who is able to heal us the one who is able to provide us with what we need let's lead lead our friends to choose Jesus let's lead our friends to have Christ as their personal savior begin to teach your friends the life saving truth about God's word for God so loved the world that he gave his only because and whoever believes in him should not perish but have what everlasting life let's direct men and women let's direct our children to know this Jesus and once they've known this Jesus let them also go out and tell others about Jesus Jesus by definition of a disciple was somebody who lives everyday to love Jesus and to do what to bring others to him is my prayer that we may be able to share Christ with our children share Christ with our children that they may have a personal relationship with him that they may also go out and share Christ with other friends I'm going to the young preachers club that are planning for a mission a mission to go out these are young people that are planning to go out from 19 to 25th of November to go and minister reach out to the people of known about Christ let's allow our children to go and do this work because God requires them to go and share Christ with others and bring them to know God I'm also drawn to the fact that our church children ministry went to deep sea last year and they were able to share Christ with the children down there let's allow this children experience how to share Christ with their friends because this will enable them to grow and to know God more and to serve him we have a saviour that we need others to know as we inform our children they'll be able to grow and be able to depend upon Christ even more the sixth step is learn to lead like Jesus and this draws me back to the book of Esther chapter 4 verse 14 and this is what Modekai challenges Esther to do these are the ones that Modekai gives to Esther when Amman had organized how the Jews were going to be destroyed Modekai goes on in sackclothes Esther sends his friends his servant to go and give Modekai clothes to be able to remove the sackclothes but Modekai cannot accept Modekai tells Esther I want you to go and see the king but Esther says how do I go? I have not been called the person who goes there and is not been called what happens is going to die this is what Modekai tells Esther and who knows but that you have come to a royal position for such a time as this the time is now we need to take to lead like Jesus discover how to be spiritual led leader not tomorrow but now because the time is now we need to invite at least lead our children at least to have one soul to Christ as we are beginning the year I believe we were challenged just to double our membership go beyond beyond limits in evangelism and get even at least just double getting one more person to Christ we need to allow our children to lead others to Christ we need to allow our children to lead others to Christ let's invite at least one other person to join us in accomplishing God's vision in heaven the saints of God will have crowns and there is no crown no star there will be no crown without star in heaven and those stars represent the people that you have led to Christ so it will be shock let me put it that way to find your self in heaven if you have not led somebody to Christ it will not happen this is the time now to lead somebody to lead the young ones to know Christ and to serve him because in heaven we will receive crowns and our crowns will have stars and the stars will be the people that you led to Christ this can be done by the young this can be done by the children leading others leading their colleagues in their schools to Christ taking the position of leadership and taking the risk to go out and meet others and direct them to Christ the way Jesus did when he was on this earth finally as I come to the conclusion step number 7 become friend a friend like Jesus Christ this takes me back to the book of first Samuel Samuel chapter 23 verse 16 here are these two friends Jonathan the son of Saul who was the person who was supposed to take the leadership of Israel became friends with David whom his father was seeking to destroy because the women said Saul has done 1000 while David has killed 10,000 and he was jealousy of him and he sought to kill him to destroy him because people were giving presents to him because you are done proud to the children of Israel by killing Goliath this Philistine who was defiling the name of God but this is what Jonathan said when he found his friends in trouble his father is chasing him he wants to destroy him this is what the Bible says and Saul's son Jonathan went to David at Orish and helped him find strength in the Lord David was hiding from his father because the father was seeking to destroy him Jonathan being older than him came and consoled him encouraged him as the bigger people as the elders as the parents we have a responsibility over our young ones to console them to encourage them to motivate them to be able to serve God to be able to be like Jesus we need to console we need to encourage our children we need to become spiritual mentors over our young ones we need to direct them and tell them it's okay God will be able to overcome on your behalf this is not the position that we are supposed to be we are supposed to be on this other position encourage even when things are not working why we need to direct them because we've seen more than what they have seen we need to help them to be able to stand so we need to become a friend like Jesus Christ himself he did not live those who were in trouble he had compassion over them and actually fed them did miracles to them he had to feed them because he saw them like people would not have a shepherd ship without a shepherd we need to come out in that situation so becoming a disciple of Jesus is an intentional journey that we may choose to take when the Holy Spirit creates a hunger in our hearts for something deeper that they are sitting in charge and not doing anything we need to go out reach out to the young children reach out to the older ones I'm not saying only of children reach out to those who do not know about Christ let us mentor them let us help them to grow, to stand to be to gain stamina in Christ to be able to do exploits to be able to do great things for God because as the Bible puts it and you shall receive power when the spirit comes upon you and you shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem in Judea in Samaria and to the ends of the world so we need to be intentional that is the key point in leading in mentoring in directing our children to Christ because that is what God is leading us is requiring of us is giving us something to do so what can we do having known that this work has to be intentional we need to work in order to direct our children I want you to review the seven steps that I have given you I want you to review and try to identify any that you would want to explore an area in your discipleship journey that you may be a blessing I want you to suckle it I have given you seven points I want you to put it together pick one that you feel you want to work on and move on with it pray about it ask God to give you the strength to be able to implement so that you can actually be able to actualize that which Christ wants us to do for our children for our church for the people that we have been put to take care of ask God how you might use your gift ask God how you may use your talent to bring disciples to Jesus before he comes back the second time is my prayer this evening that God may help you to sit down and ask yourself God what can I do in order to father your kingdom what can I do in order to bring others to you what can I do in order to be a blessing to others and draw them closer to you is my prayer that we may offer our bodies we may offer our hearts we may offer our time we may offer our resources and you will be surprised in what God is going to do for you offer your sacred offer your time your talent everything that God has given you for his work and now I am telling you that God is going to surprise you in what is going to do for you finally as I conclude Jesus Christ his disciples are worried but this is the challenge you gave them and this is God's dream for us let's go to the book of Matthew the book of Matthew 28 this is God's dream for us this is God's dream for us I'm going to read verses 19 and 20 let me start from verse 17 verse 18 Jesus came and spoke to them saying all authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth then this is what he says go therefore and make disciples of all the nations baptizing them in the name of the Father of the Son and of the Holy Spirit teaching them to observe all things have commanded you and look I am with you always even to the end of the age Jesus has given us a challenge that we need to go out and the big point there that I need you to underline is make disciples Jesus has instructed us to go and make what disciples for him and once you've made those disciples we baptize them in the name of the Father the Son and of the Holy Spirit and he's promising us that he's not going to leave us in that work he's going to be with us to the very end to the end of the age so the time is now that you've been called let's seize the opportunity it's not tomorrow it's now Christ is asking us now go out reach out to one young one and mentor lead this one to Christ Christ is calling us to be a live disciple of Jesus He's calling us to be a live disciple of himself and to be a disciple maker of every child in our church so we need to be disciples first ourselves then we mentor we disciple our children to be disciples of Christ and once you've done that the children will also be able to lead others to Christ and the Kingdom of God will come to pass as I mentioned in Matthew 24 verse 14 this gospel of the Kingdom has to be preached as a testimony to all then the end should come unless all have received the message Christ is still giving us an opportunity to reach out to that brother, to that sister to that child to that parent with the message of hope that they may be able to come to Christ so the time is now it requires you it requires me to be his disciple and then it is requiring me to also to be a disciple maker of the young ones of the children so the question is will you disciple me are you ready to disciple me are you ready to lead me to Christ that is a cry of our children in our church and I would want to ask make an appeal even as I close that our children are looking up to us God has called them they have come into the faith we need to disciple them we need to direct them we need to mold them to be disciples of Christ to stand for God to work for God to do exploits for God so that they can actually be able to you know finish the work that God has given us this coming sabat that is the 23rd of September 2023 I want to invite you as a parent as a mentor, as a leader so that we can start a journey a footprint journey for mentors and parents I am inviting you to register this coming sabat starting footprints for parents and mentors

learning to lead our children to God learning to mold them to have a connection with Christ to serve God to share Christ to do all that which I have said in the 7 points that I have mentioned so you are invited as an individual to start this journey together with us come and learn we are part of the in discipleship journey with the children in your home and in the church as I mentioned at the beginning God blessed us with so many children that are baptized come to Christ they need to be established in the faith and as I said where my kitaks came from I am going to read it even as I conclude there is Matthew 9 verses Matthew 9 verses it says then he said to his disciples the harvest truly is plentiful but the laborers are few therefore pray the Lord of harvest of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest it's my prayer that God may touch you to offer yourself as part of the team that is going to mentor that are going to be part of the laborers to labor for the source to intentionally guide these children to the Lord to mold them to stand for Christ and to do that which God has called them to do it's my prayer this evening that God may be able to help you make that decision decision to serve Christ decision to serve the children in the ministry decision to work for God that he may be able to serve him thank you and I would want us to pray even as we conclude our session at this evening let's believe let's believe and pray our gracious Lord our Father work in heaven we humble ourselves at your feet this evening we thank you for speaking to us as your children
