Discipleship Matters

This week we are going to discuss someone who was a great man in biblical history although, he had some character flaws. His flaws were pronounced by fear of his own destruction however, his flaws did not stop his Faith! We must know that all humans have flaws of some type, but we must not allow them to distract us and keep us from believing what God has said to us and about us. Join me this week by listening to this episode on the Discipleship Matters Podcast Show. Please share it out to others.

Often times life brings so many issues our way and if we are not careful, we will allow those issues to control us so much that we began to speak ill against ourselves. We must understand that no matter what we have done, we are still God's creation and We must not allow anyone or anything to change the way we think or speak about ourselves. If you are one who has allowed your circumstances to cause you to speak against yourself, then I pray that this episode will reinstate the truth back into you that You are who God says you are and you can do what he has called you to do.

Hello Thrivers! God is so good! Have you ever looked at yourself and said that you don't measure up? You have too many issues, problems, flaws or inabilities therefore, God cannot use you? Well, let's go through this series to look at some people in the Bible who did not have just one but many "flaws", yet God sent them anyway to do his well. Well, what is the difference in their flaws and ours? We must learn to lay the excuses down and do what God has called us to do. Remember, to Thrive is to grow vigorously, far beyond survival and to help others thrive as well!! So come on Thrivers and let's get a fresh fire to do what God has called us to do in spite of the flaws.

Hello Thrivers, I'm Back! It has been a minute but I am glad to be back and ready to finish the year strong! Since I last aired there has been so many things that has happened but they are all good! Listen and you will get the news LOL. This week we are going back to Numbers 13, when God told Moses to send the twelve spies into the land of Canaan. I want you to know that when God sends you somewhere on an assignment or tells you to do anything, There will be Fruit! In other words, the evidence will be noticeable that He sent you or told you to do what you are doing! Listen in and there are more great podcasts to come. I pray this episode inspires, edifies and causes you to go get what belongs to you because There Will Be Fruit!

Welcome Everyone! This week on Discipleship Matters Podcast Show, we are going to talk about Being Of Good Courage. When God has told you or given you a specific assignment, He has already given you the blessing to achieve it so go in and possess what he has told you to do. Will you face opposition? More than likely you will face opposition but Be of Good Courage! The children of Israel even faced Giants in the land that God had promised them. By the way, the land that God promised the children of Israel was already occupied by the descendants of Anak who were Giants! Do you think God knew that? Why of course he did but that did not stop his plan for them to possess the land he had given them. So no matter what, Be of Good Courage and Possess the Land.

To every listener, thank you for joining me and please share this podcast when someone else maybe even in another country. Discipleship Matters is already a global podcast show to the glory of God and we want to go even further. And we want to reach everyone that Jesus has entrusted into our hands. This episode speaks a little more to the issue of having a grasshopper mentality and how it actually insults God when we look AT OURSELVES as less than what he created and blessed. I'm not talking about in a spirit of pride, but rather walking in Christ and understanding our authority in the earth. I pray that this episode blesses you and we will be back with the finale of this series next week on the Grasshopper Mentality Finale called No Longer a Grasshopper. So until then, walk with Christ and share the Gospel also in accompany evangelism walking in relationship with someone that leads to discipleship because Discipleship really does Matter!

Welcome to another episode of The Discipleship Matters Podcast Show! This week we are addressing an issue that children of Israel had, that I have faced before and maybe some of you. How do you see yourself? Do you see yourself less than what God has said you are? Do you allow situations, circumstances or people to belittle you and make you afraid? Well, if so this podcast show is for you! And this is just part 1, but we have a lot to discuss in this episode. Do you see yourself so small that you won't even share Jesus with them because you don't feel like you can? I used to allow my circumstances to dictate my joy, peace or even my life. Sometimes my whole day was destroyed because I did not realize that I was the one in control and I was Not a GRASSHOPPER but God's Word called Me "More than a Conqueror"!!! And that goes for you too! So tune in and I pray that this episode blesses you and don't forget to subscribe, share and leave a review. Blessings!

Hello Thrivers! Welcome back to another episode of the Discipleship Matters Podcast show. This week we are getting in to a series about having Faith in the God that is inside of you. A lot of times, we like to depend on ourselves and do things our way, but this episode talks about God blessing us in the very beginning of creation and we are still blessed today. But do you see yourself as blessed? Or how do you see yourself? God does not live inside of us for nothing, but so that we can be all that "he has called us to be in this life." So join me this week and don't forget to "Share, Subscribe and Leave a Review" so that I can continue to grow and bring more valuable content that would hopefully change someone's life.

Welcome back Thrivers! I hope that you had a great Resurrection Sunday and this week is going well. Let's talk about being "Not Guilty". To be Justified is to be declared Righteous by God! It doesn't matter what anyone may say, I have been justified in Christ Jesus. Therefore, we should not live a sin conscious life because even to hold onto sin means that God's grace and Jesus' sacrifice of death was not enough! And we know that Everything that Jesus did was Enough! So I pray that this episode blesses you and we will be back on Monday night's schedule for next week. God bless and remember, Discipleship does matter.

Hello Thrivers! Welcome to another week of Discipleship Matters! I want to talk to you this week about Being Justified by Faith and how Jesus Christ came and made a great exchange for us. Our sins for his justification was the Great Exchange. So now what should we do with our justification? We should continue to do what Jesus did because we are His disciples. One of our privileges as a disciple is to tell someone else that they too are justified and all they have to do to receive their justification is to repent of their sins and receive the Finished work that Jesus Christ did for us all. Listen, I pray that this episode blesses you and please share, subscribe and leave me a review. Blessings to you all!

Listen! It's going to take Boldness in order to go through Persecution! Boldness in the Strong's Concordance 5111 means To put it all on the line. As disciples of Jesus Christ, we must be bold to stand against the enemy. We must be bold to stand with those who cannot stand for themselves. Through injustices, addictions and any type of bondage, Boldness must be demonstrated in order to tear these demonic oppressions down. Please share this podcast show all over the world, leave a review and let everyone known that boldness is required in Discipleship and Discipleship does matter.

Multiply- One meaning is to Increase Exponentially! Persecution is a time of suffering that God still requires us to multiply in. God told the children of Israel to multiply in Egypt in Exodus 1:7 and then he told them again in Jeremiah 29:5-6 while they were in Babylon. Listen! In spite of what you maybe going through, God wants you to increase in that situation so that others will see that He is God. So that You will see that he is God. Yes, in persecution we are called to Multiply! Persevere and watch God bring you out on Top! Don't forget to share this podcast all over the world. It's about "The Reach"! Shalom

Hello Thrivers! Thank you for joining me again for another week of the Discipleship Matters Podcast Show. Please share, subscribe and leave a review , I would love to hear from you all. This week, we are talking about Perseverance in Persecution. Often times, we are not told that when we join the Kingdom of God that we will be persecuted. Persecution comes in many different ways but our mind must be made up to Persevere. To persevere means to "go through it"! It means to persist in a state, enterprise or undertaking in spite of counter influences, opposition or discouragement. Jesus informed the disciples that the world persecuted him and they would persecute them. Believe it or not, there are also great rewards in heaven for being persecuted for Christ' sake. As you listen, I pray that you are encouraged and inspired to persevere any persecution that you maybe going through today. And always remember that God is with you through it all. Please keep the Ukraine in our prayers. Blessings to you All.

Blessings Thrivers! We are back for another episode of Discipleship Matters. This week we are going to be talking about how persecution can be such a horrible thing but it is actually a part of the disciples' journey. We find that in Daniel, chapter 6 that Daniel is targeted for persecution but he is prepared for it. Daniel exhibited an Excellent Spirit that was faithful, bold and led King Darius to the almighty God. Then King Darius made a new decree that the whole kingdom must serve Daniel's God. So not only did King Darius become a believer, but the whole kingdom where he ruled worshipped the almighty God. Although persecution is tough, it can open up a door for someone to learn and follow Jesus Christ. Go through persecution and watch God deliver and rescue you just as he did with Daniel. Blessings to you all, Judge

Compassion is a form of Love that God has had upon all humanity. God's greatest act of compassion for the human race was when he sent his Son, Jesus Christ to die for the sins of the whole world. This compassion moved Jesus to not just die for his followers, but for those who were not his followers as well. We will see in St. Matt. 9:36 when Jesus is moved with Compassion for those who are weary and scattered. Join me today on Discipleship Matters Podcast Show as we dive into this scripture and learn what did Jesus do for those weary and scattered. Let's talk about it on Discipleship Matters.

Hello Thrivers, I'm back with another episode on the Discipleship Matters Podcast show. Often times we say a lot of things from our lips but our lives do not follow. Words are only said,but when there is a True commitment In Christ Jesus, he brings about a true conversion. Join me as we talk about Ruth and Naomi in their discipleship journey and how this journey led to Ruth's conversion because she was committed to following Naomi.

Hello Thrivers, welcome back and I pray that you had a great week! This recording concludes our lesson on Developing a Capacity to Love. There are so many opportunities that we have to love others and we are actually commanded to love others by Jesus in St. John 13:34 and St. John 15:12, just to name a couple. It is of the utmost importance that we learn to love others as Jesus has loved us. The greatest way to develop a capacity to love others is to simply remember the love that he has for you! We will also learn that some of us have a capacity, but the problem is that it is filled with other things. Such as our agenda, ourselves, our ideas, etc. There is a place for all of that, but it should never take up the place that should be filled with God's love for someone else. As disciples of Jesus Christ, it is our opportunity and responsibility to love others to Christ and he will do any cleaning that they need through his Word according to St. John 15:3. I pray that you will be inspired and ignited by this show and Please don't forget to Like, Comment, Subscribe, and Share. Have a Great Week Thrivers!!

Hello Thrivers! On this episode of Discipleship Matters podcast show, I want to expose one of the major reasons why some Christians don't know how to love those who are not Christians. Some of us lack the capacity to love like Jesus and it is because we have not developed this capacity out of the love that Jesus has for us. Are we simply suppose to love those who are already following Christ? Jesus tells us in St. Matthew 5:46- "There is no reward in loving those who love you". Jesus died for us while we were still sinners according to Romans 5:8 so this verse proves that he didn't just love those who loved him, but we were sinners, his enemy, and he still died for us. This first episode gives some basic highlights in learning how to develop a capacity to love the unbeliever, but share, subscribe and stay with me as we walk deeper in learning how to develop a capacity to love on Discipleship Matters podcast show.

Hello Thrivers! I'm back and ready to talk with you today about Freedom! Please don't forget to share, subscribe and like the Discipleship Matters Podcast show and thank you in advance. This week, let's talk about our Spiritual Freedom! How important is it to be free in your spirit and how do we gain that freedom? It is already a struggle when a person knows that they are in bondage, but it makes matters worse when someone who should be leading them to freedom is JUDGING them. In St. John 8:15, Jesus tells the religious leaders that they judge according to the flesh, but He does not judge. This means that they were judging from their fleshly perspective and judging others from their outward actions. In other words, they judge from fleshly suspicions and not by love. Jesus says, "I do not judge, but if I did, it would be true." Let us love others instead of judging others. Let us welcome the lost instead of pushing them away by our fleshly assumptions which breeds judgment. I was taught by my first Pastor, the Late Archie Lee Miller,Sr., " We are suppose to catch the fish(mankind) , but God's word does the cleaning. St. John 15:3 therefore, judging cannot work in the equation of love. I hope that you enjoy this episode of Discipleship Matters Podcast Show.
