Spiritual Multiplication
David Jeremiah
And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.
2 Timothy 2:2
Recommended Reading
Ephesians 4:11-16
Mentoring is the new buzz word among academicians. What society has learned is that preparing students for real life beyond the classroom is powerfully fostered in one-on-one relationships. In the Christian world, we use the word "discipleship" to describe the individual model of instruction and companionship to mature believers in Christ.
Mentoring and discipleship don't just happen -- a vision must be set to guide and direct those in our care. Paul embraced his discipleship role in Timothy's life, providing counsel and encouragement as Timothy grew in his faith and leadership role in the early church. Moses discipled Joshua for many years before passing the mantel of Israel's leadership to him. Ruth and Naomi's relationship provides a poignant model for how spiritual ties can strengthen family bonds. Jesus Himself is our ultimate example of 24/7 discipleship as He taught His disciples how they should live.
Are you a wise steward of your time with others? Discipleship impacts a church, a community, a nation, and an entire world -- one life at a time.
The great thing is to be found at one's post as a child of God, living each day as though it were our last, but planning as though our world might last a hundred years.
