Calling Your 12 Disciples

Here are some of Jesus' discipleship principles upon calling his first disciples which could be some practical points in calling your disciples...Taken from Matthew 4:18-22...

1. WALK to where prospected disciples are (v. 18) - Jesus walked towards the persons whom he was led to call as his initial disciples. They were fisherman performing their daily tasks. For the record the first disciples were Simon and Andrew. Jesus deliberately went (walked) towards them (establishing connection) while they were working (knowing their context). In simple terms, know who and where your disciples are.
2. WAVE the call to discipleship (v. 19) - Jesus waved his very simple, specific and striking call statement: "“Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” The call must focus on two things: discipleship and destiny. We must call our prospected disciples to a life of discipleship by being both learners of the Word and followers of God. Then we must call them also to their destiny by fulfilling their life's mission to be leaders--the mission to evangelize, educate and empower others.
3. WAIT for commitments (v. 20-22) - Jesus waited for them to accept the call and follow him where ever he goes. This means leaving your old life. In the case of Simon, Andrew, James and John they left their work and family just to be the Lord's disciple. In application, the commitment a disciple must give is more on giving primary focus to God and his mission. The discipler must be ready and willing to wait for the prospect disciple's commitment.

Now the questions is where will I start? Start by praying and fasting just like Jesus did for both his mission and disciples (Matthew 4:2). If you do this you will have 100% result.
