Topic:Discipleship
Scripture(s):Matthew 28:18-20 | |
| Description: Brother Zac Poonen gives a very strong prophetic message on the need for discipleship in Christendom in our day. This is a clarion call for repentance for leadership in Churches to start to disciple their converts and build the body of Christ. It is not enough to just have a church full on sundays we need to see discipleship and whole hearted believers living for Christ daily. | |

When Faith Becomes Obedience
"The difficulty we modern Christians face is not misunderstanding the
Bible, but persuading our untamed hearts to accept its plain
instructions. Our problem is to get the consent of our world-loving
minds to make Jesus Lord in fact as well as in word. For it is one thing
to say, 'Lord, Lord,' and quite another thing to obey the Lord’s
commandments. We may sing, 'Crown Him Lord of all,' and rejoice in the
tones of the loud-sounding organ and the deep melody of harmonious
voices, but still we have done nothing until we have left the world and
set our faces toward the city of God in hard practical reality. When
faith becomes obedience then it is true faith indeed."
- A.W. Tozer
"Why do you call Me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say?...Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven...If you love Me, you will keep My commandments...Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him."
- Jesus Christ (Luke 6:46; Matthew 7:21; John 14:15,21)

Obedience Will Make Your Life Glorious - Zac Poonen
Jesus' life was the most beautiful, the most orderly, the most peaceful
and the happiest life that this world has ever seen. This was because of
His total obedience to God's Word.
Consider the order there is in the physical universe. The stars and planets move about in the heavens in such perfect order, that we can set our time accurately to the millionth of a second, by them. Such is their dependability that astronomers can calculate the position of any star or planet for any date in the future. What is the secret of such perfect order? Only one thing: They obey the will of God exactly, revolving in the orbits laid out for them and at the pace set for them by their Creator.
Wherever there is obedience to God, there is perfection and beauty. And wherever there is disobedience to God, there is chaos and ugliness.
Even the stars are a mute testimony to the fact that God's commands are the best for us, and that His commands are not burdensome.
Jesus' life bore witness to the fact that godliness, alone, of all things is profitable both in this life and in the next (1 Tim. 4:8). No man can be more happy, more peaceful or more content than a godly man.
"The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life" (Prov. 14:27); and Jesus obeyed the command to "live in the fear of the Lord all the day long" (Prov. 23:17).
God heard His prayers, because of His godly fear (Heb. 5:7). Heaven was always open over Jesus, because, He lived in the fear of God. "I reverence My Father" (John 8:49-Amplified), He once said. He demonstrated by His life the truth of the Word that says, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom" (Prov. 9:10.)
