A.C.T.S of Dicsipleship

Discipleship with Jesus started simply by following his call. It is a lifestyle, not just a church program, and Jesus spent three years preparing the disciples. The document outlines four principles of discipleship using the acronym O.I.C.E.: being available, connecting relationally, maintaining a learning posture, and developing a sensitivity to serve others' needs rather than one's own. Discipleship requires patience, sacrifice, and following Jesus' example of teaching through modeling, practice, correction, and empowering others.

c  Discipleship with Jesus started with two simple words M  Those two

words would not only change the twelve men that responded to the call, but generations of
believers to come.

Discipleship is not just a Church event or program, it is a lifestyle; Jesus and the disciples where
living it 24/7. Looking at this blueprint of discipleship I will use the acronym 0    to share
the four principles that helped me for the last 16 years in being a disciple of Christ. Let¶s take a
look at 0

. For a disciple it is important to be available, cause you never know
what¶s going to happen or when opportunity will knock at your door.
 
       
   
     
  

  
 




   
  

               



  
 . I know a handful of people that decided to leave their post just because
they were not being used right away or the way they wanted to. Being available will also test and
develop your patience, which is very important because discipleship takes time, Jesus spend
about three years to prepare His disciples for the work of the ministry.

 stands for  . Connecting is crucial for the disciple, for it creates a lifeline. Through
this lifeline we will be able to µcatch the heart¶ of our leader. Œ

   It is not enough to be just around a person.
We can be around people for years and still don¶t really know them. One thing that really helped
me to get connected with my leader is; don¶t be afraid to asking questions, and that brings me to
my next point.

. Disciple means ÷ ÷ we need to be students always maintaining a
learning posture. Somebody ones said;    
   
 
   

. It is okay for a season to be ignorant, but when we think we arrived and know it all, we
become arrogant. Looking at the way Jesus taught His disciples you can see a few things; He
modeled what he taught, He had them put into practice the lesson, He corrected them and finally
He released them.

 stands for 


 we can never stay away from the true motive of discipleship:
Servanthood. Jesus made it very clear to the disciples, to be great does not mean to be served, but
to serve. As a disciple it is important to develop a sensitivity for the need;  
   
 
 

  . When we step away from meeting the need of others and making others
meet our needs, we disciple to self and conform to the worlds system of servanthood.
Servanthood Jesus¶ way, goes hand in hand with sacrifice and suffering, it is never easy or
comfortable, but it is worth it, and so is discipleship.
