Discipleship Considered 4 (Last)


Discipleship Considered (Continued)


Disciples with Gift and Guidance will also need Grace


Ideally , in the Lord's work there is no competition and no jealousy. If someone else is being used to bring souls to Jesus we should say, 'Praise the Lord'. If a neighbouring Church is prospering we should say 'Hallelujah'. Let us have an abundance mentality. There is plenty of work to go around and plenty of blessings available from heaven. We are not diminished by the prosperity of others - we are benefited because the body of Christ benefits.


In the early Church there were those that preached a gospel to oppose the gospel that Paul declared, seeking to diminish his ministry. His attitude was one of grace - he said, "What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretence or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes, and will rejoice." (Phil.1.18)


Let us make sure that in all things, in all situations, and in all relationships - both with our fellow workers and other Christians - we always season our words and actions with grace and love.
