TEXT: Mark 3:14-end(NKJV)
Then He appointed twelve, that they might be with Him and that He might send them out to preach,
Anglican Daily Fountain 5th March 2023 STUDY:
Discipleship is the only method used by God to recruit, equip, build up the Body of Christ for the Ministry. It is a call to be with the Lord. Mark.3:14 says”…That they should continue to be with Him that He night send them out.” Hence it is compulsory for disciples to CONTINUALLY be with the Lord Jesus. This is more than attending programs or having a daily time for prayer and the word each day. It also includes constant communication with Him all day long to receive directions for daily activities.
The Ministry includes preaching, healing, casting out demons. Being with Him continually makes one fit for this work. The purpose of this “being with Him” is to get you conformed/moulded into His likeness(Rom.8:29). When His life is infused into yours, you receive capacity to do the work as He would have it done. Are you at the Lord’s disposal, or, are you busy doing ministerial works without being with Him? Being with Him is more important than doing the work for He owns the work, knows the method and timing for perfect effectiveness.
So forget working for Jesus if you dislike spending your entire life with Him. The real brothers and sisters of Jesus are those who do His will which is to be with Him before being sent out to do His work.
PRAYER: Take my life and let it be Yours, oh Lord! Open my eyes to see the need for discipleship and help me to be forever yoked with You.
