*DAILY DEW 11/APRIL/2023* *DISCIPLESHIP LED GROWTH* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: AS MY FATHER HATH SENT ME, EVEN SO SEND I YOU."* (John 20:21 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ Jesus laid down a unique example. First, he prayerfully and painstakingly picked twelve men, almost randomly. He took his time, efforts, examples, teachings, parables, disciplines to model how these twelve were to become like him in living life on earth. While he was still at it, he picked three from the same twelve, and paid even more closer attention on them. As if that was not enough, he picked one from the three and allowed this one, be even more closer to him. Each of these men would end up becoming almost exact clones of Jesus, in conduct, character and life goals and dreams. Lest I forget, he picked other seventy to do same close-up life teachings and trainings for. And by the time of his death and resurrection, he had at least one hundred and twenty carefully taught and trained men that became disciples of Jesus, among others. Now, when Jesus said, as the Father had sent him, we need to remember that this was how he answered or fulfilled what the Father had sent him to do. Haven settled that, it would be, therefore, appropriate to say that He carefully chose his words, when He said, "EVEN SO, SEND I YOU!" This definitely meant that He CAME TO EARTH on the assignment commanded or decided by the Father. And just as the Father had initiated this assignment, even so he is initiating the same assignment to us, His disciples. The logical conclusion would mean that the focus of Jesus, must remain our focus and His methods in principle, must remain ours too. By the time we are done, or about to be done, we should be able to say, we have actually been sent by the Lord Jesus! If we must therefore fulfill the great commission, we will do well, to tailor our approaches and methods and teachings to the original pattern delivered by Jesus. When we do, then and only then, are we fulfilling the assignment or command of Jesus! _MEDITATION:_ *The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord.* (Matthew 10:24 (KJV)) *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_APRIL,2023* ❤ Links To Visit: *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ https://www.facebook.com/thedavidgen/ https://www.facebook.com/THEREVIVALCORPS/ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.
