The Making of a Disciple
Matthew 4:18-22
-
When recruiting someone for a job or task, we are taught to look for
experience and qualifications.
-
According to the customs of discipleship at the time of Jesus, the
individuals Jesus chose would have actually been rejects.
-
When God recruits someone for a task, He looks at the heart, rather than
experience and qualifications (1Sam 16:6-7)
-
Once God calls you to a task, He will also empower you to accomplish it
(Matt 10:1,2 Timothy 1:6)
-
Being empowered by God does not mean that you will not go through a time
of preparation
