In the powerful conclusion of the "Raising Kings and Shepherding Lions" series, Pastor Jonnathan from God Manifest dives deep into what it truly means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ. While Parts 1 and 2 focused on the call to make disciples and the nature of biblical leadership, Part 3 shifts the focus to the heart posture and responsibility of the believer.
True discipleship is more than just gathering information; it is about transformation, accountability, and active participation in the Body of Christ.
In this message, you will learn:
Introduction: [00:00]
The Role of the Mind: How a renewed mind and self-control in our speech, thoughts, and reasoning are the true measures of spiritual maturity [20:14].
Intimacy Over Information: Why watching a video online isn’t the same as being discipled, and why you need a leader positioned in your life to tend to your wounds and correct your mistakes [41:25].
Crucifying the Flesh: Practical ways to shift from being led by emotions to being led by the Spirit through fasting, worship, and intercession [56:25].
The "Bell-Sheep" Concept: Understanding how a mature sheep eventually becomes a guide for others, moving from a consumer to a contributor [01:12:45].
Supporting the Kingdom: The biblical mandate for the flock to care for their leaders so they remain free to focus on spiritual defense and provision [01:04:05].
Our goal as a church is not to gather a collection of helpless lambs, but to build an army of mature lions ready to shake the world for the Kingdom of God.
