🌱🌍 DISCIPLESHIP

👋 Dear Beloved,

Every great move of God begins with men who have been trained, shaped, and transformed in His presence. In his message “Discipleship: Building the Men That Transform Nations”, Apostle Joshua Selman highlights that true change in society is not birthed by mere systems but by discipled men and women who carry Kingdom values into every sphere of influence.

Discipleship is more than attending church; it is a lifelong journey of becoming like Christ so that we can represent Him accurately to the world.

📖 1. What is Discipleship?

• Discipleship is the process of learning, following, and becoming like Christ.

• It is the bridge between salvation and transformation.

• Jesus’ method was not just to preach to crowds but to build people (Matthew 28:19).

• Selman reminds us: God’s strategy for changing nations is not just miracles but men — trained, equipped, and faithful disciples.

Scripture:

🌱 2. Why Discipleship Matters

💡 Without discipleship, Christianity becomes shallow and powerless; with it, we raise men who shake history.

🎨 3. The Process of Discipleship

Apostle Selman emphasizes that discipleship is not casual; it is intentional and costly.

• Teaching & Doctrine — solid foundations built from Scripture.

• Mentorship & Accountability — walking under guidance for correction and growth.

• Character Formation — allowing the Spirit to break pride, selfishness, and compromise.

• Service & Responsibility — learning through action, not theory alone.

• Endurance — embracing the discipline required to become effective vessels.

⚠️ 4. Hindrances to True Discipleship

• Seeking gifts without submitting to character training.

• Confusing membership with discipleship.

• Impatience with process — wanting results without formation.

• Pride and independence — resisting accountability.

🛠️ 5. Building Men That Transform Nations

1. Submit fully to the training of the Word.

2. Value mentorship — find voices you can follow with humility.

3. Embrace discipline and correction.

4. Serve faithfully in small responsibilities.

5. Pass it on — true disciples make more disciples.

🙏 Closing Word

Beloved, discipleship is God’s master plan for raising men who will disciple nations. Systems may shape economies, but only Kingdom-trained men can shape hearts, values, and destinies. As Apostle Joshua Selman teaches, to disciple one man is to touch generations; to raise a company of disciples is to shift nations.

May you yield fully to Christ’s training, so that your life becomes a tool in His hands to transform families, communities, and nations.
