Become a ‘True Disciple’ of Jesus with LMC Reach Out Global.
The disciples of Jesus are those who learn from Him and follow Him. They basically accept Jesus as the decision-maker in their lives. Let us take a look at the characteristics that must be present in true disciples or devotees of Jesus Christ.
Lord Jesus, You Should Be the Only Most Important Person in Your Life
According to the Scriptures, the Lord Jesus says that his disciples must deny themselves, follow him, and take up his cross. He has said that everyone has to make choices in their lives and take decisions according to priority. Thus, to become a true disciple of the Lord Jesus, he should be the most important person in your life.
Become the ‘Living Sacrifice.
To become Jesus’ true disciples, the Romans encouraged them to offer their bodies as a living sacrifice. One needs to completely offer himself to serve the ‘Lord Jesus’. God never forces anyone to be his follower. The Apostle Paul urged the Romans to be available to God, as he wanted more people to join His kingdom.
Follow the Word
According to ‘John 8:31’ in the Bible, Jesus told Jews who believed in Him’ that they should be ‘His’ disciples. Jesus’s true disciple obeys His word. Disciples should have faith in the ‘Lord’ and abide by each and every word uttered by Him, making those words the essence of their lives.
Pray and Watch
During his life, Jesus looked for solitary places to pray. He had assignments to carry out on earth. Hence, he needed the ‘Almighty Lord’. He has given assignments to his followers, which they should observe and pray for so that they can become ‘His’ true disciples. Followers must abide by the directions of Lord Jesus while they observe and pray.
Fellowship with the Different Believers
The one who has written a letter to the Hebrews has reminded the believers to always assemble in groups. The ‘true disciples’ of ‘Lord Jesus sees value in receiving and contributing to the fellowship with the ‘other believers’.
The Lord Jesus authorizes you as his believers. Becoming Jesus’s ‘true disciple’ should be your motto. Be a learner and follower of the Lord. Let the marks highlighted by him show in your life. Prioritize Jesus over anything else in your life to be a ‘true disciple’. As a true believer, you should also pray to the ‘Almighty’ and abide by his words. Always assemble ‘together’ and fellowship with the ‘other believers as a witness for the Lord Jesus.
Witness for Lord Jesus
Apostle Paul had said he was unashamed of Jesus’ gospel, as it was God’s power to save everyone who believed. If you want to become a true disciple you must consider Lord Jesus to be the sole most important person in your life and help others in becoming believers of the Lord. Propagating Gospel is the mandate of the believers. The ‘true disciple’ of the Lord would witness for Him.
By doing all these you can become the ‘True Disciple ‘of Lord Jesus. To know about our Christian faith, the Church and the Bible click here or kindly contact us here.
Let’s Go Evangelism
Vision and Challenge
The vision of LMC Global is to have every believer share the gospel in the communities they live and work in, as well as in their surroundings. We believe every believer is a witness! Acts1:8.
Many Christians are willing to go our fully to share and some are already sharing the Gospel to other in the village, towns and cities. The goal is for every Christian that comes along with us is to reach at least one person with the Gospel message. 90 % of church members never share the Gospel with others.
“If we can figure out a way to turn an audience into an army – it will change the world.” Rick Warren

Action
It’s easy! Every Christian can be part of it. We are called to testify, and everyone can share the gospel in his or her own way, in their own language and culture. It just needs the willingness to go.
Let’s develop your new ideas!
Here are some practical examples of how Christians are sharing the gospel:
One-on-one: inviting somebody over for a cup of coffee and telling him about Jesus, a nurse in a hospital, or a businessman to another businessman.
In small groups, reaching out to the streets, in the marketplaces, in the sports parks, etc.
Care and Share: doing something good for the needy in hospitals, prisons, children’s homes, etc.
Reach your area: visiting home-to-home or strategic campaigns with other churches
More ideas: concerts, open-air meetings, flash mobs, banners, sharing tracts, posting on any of the social networks (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc.).
What is it about?
It is about you sharing the gospel in any possible way with people who have never heard it or are not yet born-again Christians and leading those people to salvation in Jesus.
All you need is a willingness to go forward with the good-news. Share the gospel according to your personal gifting and calling as the Lord leads you.
There are thousands of ways to do this, either personal or together with a group, ministry or a local church.
What can I do?
Reach at the least ONE person with the Gospel every week or every month and follow up with discipleship making.
From a personal approach to an unsaved friend or neighbor to sharing the gospel on streets, campuses, public places, or transportation to larger evangelistic events and outreaches, there are many, many options.
Reach out to the people; don’t wait for them to come to you! Create opportunities to:
- get in contact and start a conversation
- share your testimony and the Gospel message
- offer them prayer and counseling
- lead them to a decision-making
It is not as difficult as you might think!
