DISCIPLESHIP IN CHRIST

Hello Saints of God...

Here is a brief but important message from the Spirit of God concerning our walk in the Lord. It is based on discipleship as spoken of by Jesus in the 8th chapter of the book of John which reads:

John 8:30-32

30] As he spake these words, many believed on him.

31] Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;

32] And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

THE LORD RECENTLY BOUGHT TO MY ATTENTION BY REVELATION OF THE SPIRIT THAT ONE OF THE MAJOR MISSING FACTORS IN THE BODY OF CHRIST IS A LACK OF TRUE DISCIPLES.

WE HAVE MAJORED AS A BODY IN BEING CHURCH GOERS AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT BUT THE LORD IS MORE CONCERNED WITH US BECOMING TRUE DISCIPLES OF THE WORD OF GOD HENCE:

If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;

CONTINUING IN THE WORD OF GOD IS OF GREATER IMPORTANCE AND VERY DIFFERENT THAN BEING A CHURCH GOER. DISCIPLESHIP SPEAKS OF A SINCERE DESIRE TO KNOW THE MAJOR TRUTHS OF THE WORD OF GOD THROUGH REVELATION OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD.

A "disciple" was not only a pupil, but an adherent; hence they are spoken of as imitators of their teacher; cp. John 8:31; 15:8.

Vine's Dictionary 

THEREFORE THE LORD SAID:

And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

 

ONLY THE TRUE DISCIPLES OF CHRIST SHALL KNOW THE DEEP INNER WORKINGS OF THE WORD OF GOD AS RELATING TO SCRIPTURE.

ALSO WITH THIS WORD IS A CONNOTATION FROM THE LORD JESUS HIMSELF THAT TRUE FREEDOM IN CHRIST ONLY COMES THROUGH DISCIPLESHIP IN HIM AS AN ADHERENT TO, AND CONTINUING IN HIS WORD!

BELOW ARE FEW MEDITATION SCRIPTURES FOR YOUR REFERENCE:

BE BLESSED IN HIM!

But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
