TOPIC: Marks Of A True Disciple (III) (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Devotional 21 August 2021)
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Lamentation 1, Lamentation 2, Lamentation 3:1-36
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Matthew 28:16-20
16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.
17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.
18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
MEMORY VERSE: “How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!” – Isaiah 52:7
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
Discipleship is a lifestyle filled with relationship. A life of pouring yourself out for others.
PRAISE WORSHIP: Take a worship song as led by the Holy Spirit
PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:
HENCEFORTH, YOU WILL BE AN EFFECTIVE WITNESS FOR CHRIST AND A SUCCESSFUL SOUL WINNER, IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
The MESSAGE:
Witnessing is a fundamental mark of discipleship. A true disciple of Christ must be willing to witness for Him as He has commanded. In Luke 10:23-24, the Bible says, “And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see: For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.” A witness tells others all that he has seen and heard.
This is a great demand placed on us by the Lord. The Holy Spirit does the convicting; we should witness Christ’s love and power.
As believers, we must always realise that we were saved to serve. We must take the Great Commission seriously. Soul winning is the heartbeat of God and we cannot afford to neglect it. Dearly beloved, when last did you evangelise? How many souls have you won for Christ in the last one year? Do you follow up and see to the discipleship of souls? Many are caught in the web of rat race and distractions of life. If you are a true disciple of Christ, you will take witnessing and soul winning very seriously.
There are several effective strategies you can employ in order to witness for Christ. First, you can lead people to Christ by sharing your story with them. Your conversion story, positive lifestyle change story and so on can be used by the Holy Spirit to convict people and win them for the Master. Secondly, you can lead people to Christ by sharing the gospel with them. The word of God is spirit and life. It is sharper than any two-edged sword. It has great power to convert a heart of stone to a heart of flesh. In addition, you can lead people to Christ by helping them to deal with problems, obstacles and objections in their lives. Finally, you can lead people to Christ by mentoring them and helping them to grow in their faith.
Finally, witnessing for Christ is a command, not an advice. Give your all to it. You will receive huge blessings from God.
PRAYER POINTS:
MORNING
Father, make me a true witness for Christ, in the name of Jesus.

Father, make me a teacher and doer of Your word, in the name of Jesus.
EVENING
Let the light of God’s word dispel darkness from every area of my life, in the name of Jesus.
Powers hindering Christians from becoming disciples of the Lord, die, in the name of Jesus.
The grace to run the race of salvation successfully, come upon me, in the name of Jesus.
Holy Spirit, teach me to be an effective soul winner, in the name of Jesus.

PRAYER OF PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING
(TO BE SAID DAILY)
Father in the name of Jesus, I thank You for:
Drawing me to prayer and power,
The salvation of my soul,
Baptizing me with the Holy Spirit,
Producing spiritual gifts upon my life,
The fruits of the spirit working in me,
The wonderful gift of praise,
All the ways You have intervened in my affairs,
Your divine plan for my life,
You will never leave me nor forsake me,
Bringing me to a place of maturity and deeper life,
Lifting me up when I fall,
Keeping me in perfect peace,
Making all things work together for good for me,
Protecting me from the snares of the fowler and from the noisome pestilence,
The wonder-working power in Your Word and in the Blood of the Lamb,
Giving Your angels charge over me,
Fighting for me against my adversaries,
Making me more than a conqueror,
Supplying all my needs according to Your riches in glory,
Your healing power upon my body, soul and spirit,
Flooding my heart with the light of heaven,
Always causing me to triumph in Christ Jesus,
Turning my curses into blessings,
Enabling me to dwell in safety,
All the blessings of life,
Your greatness, power, glory, majesty, splendor and righteousness,
Silencing the foe and the avenger,
You are at my right hand and I shall not be moved,
You are trustworthy and will help Your own,
Not allowing my enemies to rejoice over me,
Your wonderful love,
You are great and greatly to be praised,
Delivering my soul from death and my feet from stumbling,
You are my fortress and refuge in time of trouble,
Your faithfulness and marvellous deeds,
Your act of power and surpassing greatness,
Dispersing spiritual blindness from my spirit,
Lifting me out of the depths,
Preserving me and keeping my feet from slipping,
Your name is a strong tower, the righteous runs into it and he is safe.
