Discipleship must have a clear philosophy.
- The philosophy of Jesus was to Disciple other men
who would disciple others .
- Definitely better to make a disciple-maker than
to make a disciple.
Three keys to making disciples :
- An Intentional discipler = There is a plan.
- A Relational discipler = a process.
- A Reproducible discipler = Multiplier of
disciples.
Jesus had a plan :
- Make disciples of all nations ,
- Teach all things,
- Joining with us until the end.
- Do you have a plan for your life?
- Is your plan according to the plan of Jesus ?
What is the result of making a disciple- maker instead of making a disciple.
- Be sure that disciples can perform spiritual
disciplines.
- Be sure that the disciples, may live and teach
the spiritual disciplines as a lifestyle.
- The multiplication of disciples unto the third
and fourth Generation .

- The largest church planter in the NT did so .
- Timothy made disciples.
- I Do
- You do
- Next generation needs to do.
