So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
God created man to have fellowship with Him.
The Fall of Man
Rom 3:23
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Adam and Eve disobeyed God and were separated from Him by their sin. We have all made mistakes in life. We have failed God and hurt ourselves and other people. If someone dies without confessing Jesus as Lord, he is lost, and his final destination is hell.
God Wants to Save All of Us
1Ti 1:15
This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
1Ti 2:3-4
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
Joh 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
God sent His Son to save the world. We need to repent, confess Jesus as Lord, and give our lives to God. This is the only way for us to get saved and enter into heaven.
Joh 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
How to Receive Salvation
Rom 10:9-10
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
We receive salvation by believing in Jesus Christ and confessing Him as our Lord. Salvation also includes other benefits such as healing, peace and material provision.
Salvation is a Gift
Eph 2:8-9
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
We can’t get saved by doing good deeds or making sacrifices. Jesus died for us and was raised to give eternal life to all who believe in Him.
The Family of God
Joh 1:12
But as many as received him (Jesus), to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
When we accept Jesus as our Lord, we enter God´s great family. Immediately all our sins are removed, and we become sons and daughters of God. This is the new birth.
Water Baptism
Mar 16:16
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
It is important to be baptized in water after receiving salvation. This is the first step of obedience to Jesus.
Our Salvation is Secure
1Jn 5:11-13
And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
Rom 8:16
The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
We only need to receive Jesus as our Lord one time to get eternal life. The Holy Spirit ensures us that we are saved. We can trust God and His Word. If we sin, we don’t lose our salvation, but we hurt our communion with God. For this reason, we must confess our sins to God and receive forgiveness. The best for us is to live close to God and the church, and if someone backslides it is necessary to return again.
1Jn 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Use “The Prayer for Salvation” directing your disciple to repeat in a audible voice. The disciple can get baptized in water after having received Jesus. (In class 7 you will find more information about water baptism). If the disciple has withdrawn from Jesus and the church he must leave his sins, ask for forgiveness, and return to good fellowship with God. Instruct your disciple how to help other people to get saved.
The Prayer for Salvation
“God Almighty.”“I believe that your Son, Jesus, died on the cross for my sins,”“and was raised to give me eternal life.”“Jesus, I receive you as my Lord.”“Thank you for saving me.”“Amen.”
Summary
All have sinned, and sinners can get saved.
The two requirements to get saved are: to believe and to confess Jesus as Lord.
Water baptism is the first step of obedience to the Lord Jesus.
Goals for this lesson
Guide your disciple to receive Jesus or return to good fellowship with God.
Teach your disciple how to pray with someone else for salvation.
When needed, prepare for water baptism as soon as possible.
Lesson 2
FAITH
The Importance of Faith
Heb 11:6
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
To have faith is to believe in God and His Word. It means taking God seriously. By faith we receive what we want and need from God. Faith is necessary to be able to enjoy fellowship with God and to please Him.
The Measure of Faith
Rom 12:3
For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
God has given us a measure of faith, but our faith can grow and become stronger.
How Faith Grows
Rom 10:17
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
1Jn 5:14-15
And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hears us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
The Bible shows us the will of God, and when we know what God wants, it is easy to believe. Our faith also grows stronger as we use it. We can compare it to the muscles of the body. The people that exercise continually develop more strength.
How Faith Works
Heb 11:3
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
Gen 1:3
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
2Co 4:13
We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;
God created heaven and earth by speaking, and as His children, we can change our lives by proclaiming His Word by faith. When there is faith in our hearts there is power in our mouth. What we proclaim or ask for in prayer by faith materializes.
Mar 11:22-24
And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
Faith and Hope
Heb 11:1
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Hope has to do with the future, while faith is in the present. Faith receives what God has done for us in Christ. Faith says “- I receive it now”.
Mat 21:22
And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
Faith and Patience
Heb 6:12
That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
Heb 10:36
For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
After receiving something from God it is necessary to maintain the faith and keep saying “I have it. It is mine”, until the answer manifests in the natural.
Rom 4:20-21
(Abraham) He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
Faith in Action
Jas 2:18, 26
Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works... For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
Faith needs to be expressed by words and actions to work.
Faith is a Lifestyle
Heb 10:38
Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. To live by faith” means to “use our faith” in our life. That means to get up by faith in the morning, get dressed by faith, eat by faith, leave the house by faith, work by faith and finally go back to sleep by faith at night.
What we say or ask for in prayer by faith becomes reality in our lives. We can speak positive words, proclaiming what we want instead of affirming what we have. Explain to the disciple that faith grows by hearing, meditating, and confessing the Word of God.
Example of how to Speak by Faith
”I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me.” (Php 4:13)
“Whatsoever I do shall prosper.” (Psa 1:3)
“I will always have all that I need” (2 Co 9:8)
Summary
Faith receives what we want and need from God.
Faith is expressed by words and actions.
Goals for this lesson
Instruct your disciple how to speak and pray by faith.
Teach your disciple how faith grows.
Lesson 3
THE HOLY SPIRIT
Fellowship with the Holy Spirit
2Co 13:14
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.
God is three in one: The Father, the Son (Jesus) and the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit has his own will and personality.
The Testimony of the Holy Spirit in the World
Joh 15:26
But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
The Holy Spirit convinces people that they need to get saved.
Joh 16:8
And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
The Work of the Holy Spirit
Joh 3:6
That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
1Co 3:16
Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
When we receive Jesus, the Holy Spirit recreates us by the new birth and enters into our hearts to help us in life.
1Jn 4:4
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
The Holy Spirit teaches us and helps us to remember what the Word says. He also helps us to pray correctly, leads us, and helps us to make wise decisions according to the Word of God. The witness of God is perceived as peace and joy in the heart.
Joh 14:26
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
Rom 8:14, 26
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God... Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
The Baptism in the Holy SpiritMat 3:11”I (John the Baptist) indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me (Jesus) is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:”
Jesus came to save us and to baptize us in the Holy Spirit. All the disciples were baptized and filled with the Holy Spirit.
Act 2:1-4
And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
How to Receive the Baptism in the Holy Spirit
Luk 11:13
If ye then, being evil (imperfect), know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
Act 19:6
And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.
We receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit by prayer or by laying on of hands. The evidence of the baptism in the Holy Spirit is speaking with other tongues. It is good to speak and pray in tongues every day.
1Co 14:2
For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.
The Manifestations of the Holy Spirit2Co 3:17”Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.”
In the presence of the Holy Spirit there is freedom, and it happens that people shout, starts to laugh, jumps, runs, or fall to the floor under the power of God. The Holy Spirit also manifests through His gifts in words or actions to bless the people.
1Co 12:7-11
But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
If your disciple has not yet received the baptism of the Holy Spirit, you can use this prayer with laying on of hands. Instruct the disciple to open the mouth and give voice to the words and sounds that come up from the heart, even without understanding what it means. Teach your disciple how to minister to others to be filled by the Holy Spirit. In the meetings of the church, the ministers will also pray for people to get baptized in the Holy Spirit.
The Prayer to Receive the Baptism in the Holy Spirit
“God – in the Name of Jesus.”“I now receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit according to your promise.”“By faith, I will now speak in other tongues.”“Amen.”
If the disciple does not speak in tongs immediately you can still advance with the next class in “MD”.
Summary
The Holy Spirit is a person that helps us.
The children of God are led by the Holy Spirit.
Goals for this lesson
Pray for the disciple to get baptized in the Holy Spirit.
Teach the disciple how to help others to be filled with the Holy Spirit.
Lesson 4
PRAYER
Prayer is Fellowship with God
1Th 5:16-18
Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
Jer 33:3
Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
We can pray at any hour, in any place. God is good and answers our prayers. We can talk with Him to ask for help, give thanks or simply to have fellowship.
Mat 7:7-11
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? If ye then, being evil (Imperfect, human), know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
Jas 5:13
Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.
The Name of Jesus in Prayer
Joh 16:23-24
And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.
Jesus has given us the right to use his name in prayer. This means that God is listening as if it was Jesus himself praying.
The Word of God in Prayer
1Jn 5:14-15
And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
Joh 15:7
If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
In the Bible we find the will of God. When we know Hs will we can pray correctly. The Word of God also gives us faith to receive from Him.
Mat 21:22
And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
Jas 1:6-7
But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
It is good to be specific in our prayers and ask for exactly what we need or want.
Mat 6:7-8
But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
Giving Thanks in Prayer
Php 4:6
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
After asking God for something, we give Him thanks until the answer manifest in the natural.
Different Kinds of Prayer
Eph 6:18
Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
Jas 5:16
Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
We can pray for other people. It is also good to pray together with other believers. La united prayer is very powerful.
Mat 18:19
Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
Act 4:24
And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is:
To Pray in Tongues
Jud 1:20
But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
Rom 8:26-27
Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
When we pray in tongs we edify ourselves spiritually. The Holy Spirit also helps us to pray for the unknown.
You can pray every time that you are together. A new believer learns how to pray correctly by the examples of the mature Christians. It is a good custom to give thanks to God for the food and all His blessings.
Summary
God hears and answers prayer.
There are different kind of prayers.
Goals for this lesson
Pray together for some need or situation, giving thanks for the answer.
Pray together in tongues.
Lesson 5
THE WORD OF GOD
God Speaks Through the Bible
Heb 1:1-2
God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
In the Bible we can see that God spoke to many people. He also wants to talk to all of us. The word “Bible” means “books” and is a collection of 66 books divided in two parts: The Old Testament and the New Testament. God speaks to us throughout all the Bible, but in the New Testament he speaks to us through Jesus and in the letters He speaks directly to the church.
1Co 1:1-2
Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother, Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:
The Bible is the Word of God in written form where we can find the will of God for all the areas of life.
2Ti 3:16-17
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
The Word of God is TruthJoh 17:17
”Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.”
Joh 8:31-32
Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
The Bible is alive and full of power to change our lives. It is also spiritual nutrition that makes us strong.
Heb 4:12
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Mat 4:4
But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
Psa 119:105
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
The Bible Teaches How to Live Correctly
Psa 119:11
Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
To receive the benefit of the Word it is important to put it into practice.
Jas 1:22-25
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
God Speaks Through the Holy Spirit
Rom 8:14
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
We will not find specific information about our life in the Bible, but we can always be led by the Holy Spirit. The will of God produces peace and joy in our spirit. The Holy Spirit always leads us according to the Word and He never forces us to do something against our will.
God Speaks Through People
Eph 4:11-12
And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
The ministers explain and simplify the Word of God in their messages at church. For this reason, it is necessary for us to be part of a church and assist the meetings. In a Bible school or institute believers can study the Bible more in depth.
Heb 10:25
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
Sometimes we receive a prophetic word by the Holy Spirit to confirm what God has been talking to us before.
1Co 14:3
But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.
God Speaks in Different Ways
Act 26:19-20
Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision: But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.
God is communicating by visions and dreams. This is spectacular, and needs to be interpreted and applied correctly.
Pro 4:20
My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.
We can read verses in the Bible and find out how God wants us to live. Here is one example of how we ought to treat each other.Eph 4:32
”And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.”
Summary
God speaks to us through the Bible.
God leads us by the Holy Spirit.
God speaks to us through the preaching and teaching.
Goals for this lesson
Teach your disciple how to read the Bible and apply its message to life.
Teach your disciple how to be led by the Holy Spirit.
Lesson 6
THE CHURCH
The House of God
1Ti 3:15
But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
Psa 122:1
I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.
Anybody is welcome at the church. Jesus is edifying His church in all the earth to bless, help and protect the believers.
Mat 16:18
And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
The Body of Christ
Act 1:22-23
Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection. And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
The church is not a building or an auditorium, but it is important to have a place to get together with other believers. The Bible teaches us that the church is the body of Christ. We are the temple, or house of God.
1Co 3:16
Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
The Meetings of the Church
Heb 10:25
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
We worship God as an expression of love. It is wonderful when children, youth, adults and the elderly together lift their voices and sing to God. As part of our worship, we present our tithes and offerings to the Lord. All the gifts are voluntary.
2Co 9:7-8
Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:
Luk 6:38
Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
He that gives, receives and he that sow, reaps. The tithes are ten percent of our income. If we are faithful with our tithes and offerings, there will never be a lack of resources for the work of God. At the same time, God promises to bless and protect us.
Mal 3:10
Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
The tithes and the offerings are used for activities and to pay for different bills such as light and rent etc. Most of the work of the church is done by volunteers, but it is right for the pastor and the staff to receive recognition for their labor.
Act 2:42
And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
By the message we learn about the Christian life. Prayer will also be offered for salvation and other needs.
The Organization of the Local Church1Co 12:28
”And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.”
The local church is directed and administrated by a pastor and other leaders. The ministers are preaching the Word of God and prepares the congregation for to fulfil the vision. In the church there is much to do, and it is important for all of us to find a place of service.
Eph 4:11-12
And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
The Work of the Church
Mat 28:19-20
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Before going to heaven, Jesus commanded us to share the gospel with all the people in the world. Some people travel to other countries and cultures to minister. The rest of the church can be involved in missions by prayers and offerings.
Gal 6:10
As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
All the members are important for the service in the local church. Together we serve God, the church members, and the world. We can help the sick and needy. We can also be a blessing to the people that are not members, showing them the love of God.
If the disciple wants to become part of the church, you can talk to the leaders. Show the disciple how they can give tithes and offerings. Help your disciple how to find a place of service in the church. To do this it is necessary to find out about gifts and talents and to present the disciple to the adequate leaders.
Summary
In the church, the members are instructed, blessed, and protected.
The finances of the church is based on the tithes and offerings.
It is important to serve in the local church.
Goals for this lesson
Invite the disciple to the church.
Teach your disciple how to tithe and give offerings.
Show the disciple the opportunities to serve in the church.
Lesson 7
THE ORDINANCES
Order and obedience
1Co 14:33, 40
For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints… Let all things be done decently and in order.
The principal ordinances in the Bible are water baptism and the Lords Supper. It is important to obey God, because obedience brings the blessing of God.
Water Baptism
Col 2:12
Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
Mat 10:32
Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
The first step of obedience to Christ is to be baptized in water. Water baptism is a simple but powerful demonstration that symbolizes being buried, leaving the life of sin, and being raised to a new life in Christ. It is a public confession of our faith in Jesus. Water baptism does not save us, but all believers are directed to be baptizes upon receiving salvation.
Rom 6:4
Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Mar 16:16
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
Mat 28:19-20
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
The Biblical way to BaptizeAct 8:36-38
“And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.”
The only requirement to be baptized in water is to be saved. The word “baptize” means to “submerge.” You can baptize in a lake, river or swimming pool. Some churches have a baptistry. The Bible does not indicate a minimum age to be baptized; only that it is for believers.
Act 19:3-5
And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism. Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
If someone has been baptized with another sort of baptism, it is necessary to be baptized again as a testimony of personal faith in Jesus.
The Lords Supper
1Co 11:26
For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.
The second ordinance of the church is the Lords Supper. The Lords Supper is sacred and shows our hope of the return of Jesus as Lord. He will come back in the clouds.
Acts 1:11
Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
We break one bread and share one cup. This symbolizes the unity of Christ. If we have sinned consciously, we need to confess it and ask for forgiveness before receiving the Lords Supper.
1Co 11:28, 31
But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
1Jn 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
The bread represents the body of Christ that was broken for our healing. The wine represents the new covenant in the blood of Jesus and forgiveness of our sins. The power of God is present as we celebrate the Lords Supper.
1Pe 2:24
Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
Joh 6:54-56
Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
The Bible does not indicate that a person needs to be baptized in water or reach a certain age to participate in the Lords Supper. We can celebrate the Lords Supper as families and brothers in the church or at home.
Act 2:46
And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,
If the disciple has not been baptized in water as a believer, you can baptize him using these steps.
Ask the disciple “who is your Lord?” to give the opportunity to confess Jesus publicly.
Use this declaration. “By the mandate of Jesus Christ and by your confession, I now baptize you in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.”
Instruct how to pinch the nose to hinder the water to get in.
You can serve the Lords Supper to your disciple and explain its significance. Remember to give thanks to God for the bread and the wine.
Summary
Everyone that has received Jesus needs to be baptized in water.
The Lords Supper is a celebration to remember what Jesus did for us.
Goals for this lesson
Baptize the disciple if he has not been baptized correctly before.
Celebrate the Lords Supper and teach the disciple about its significance.
Lesson 8
HEALING
God Can and Wants to Heal All3Jn 1:2”Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.”
Act 10:38
How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
When we have a problem with our health, we can ask God for help.
Mar 1:40-42
And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean. And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.
The Lord is our Medical DoctorExo 15:26”And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee (your medical doctor).”
Pro 4:20-20
My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health (medicine) to all their flesh.
The Word is a miracle drug. Faith for healing comes through the study what the Word says about healing. If a person receives sufficiently of the Word of God, he can heal from any sickness. The joy of the Lord is another supernatural medicine.
Pro 17:22
A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
Jesus Carried our Sickness on the Cross
Mat 8:17
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.
1Pe 2:24
Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
Jesus carried all of our sins, sickness and poverty on the cross.
Psa 103:1-5
Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.
How to Recieve Healing
Jas 5:13-16
Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms. Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
There are many ways to receive the healing of God. The sick person can ask God in prayer by faith. We can also pray one for another. If a person is very sick, it is good to call for the leaders of the church.
Mar 16:15, 17
a, 18b“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. And these signs shall follow them that believe;
In the meetings of the church, the ministers often invite the people to receive prayer with the laying on of hands for healing. The Lords Supper is another opportunity to receive healing.
How to Live in Health
A life in sin ends sooner or later in trouble. We must love and forgive the people that offend us. It is also important with rest, healthy food and exercise to maintain good health.
Instruct your disciple how to pray for people by laying on of hands, considering the ethics. Pray together for healing if the disciple or a loved one needs healing. If the manifestation does not show immediately, it is important to continue to thank God while the person recovers. It is easier to receive healing through prayer in a meeting. The testimonies of healings give hope and faith to other people that are sick.
Summary
The Lord can and wants to heal all that are sick.
All believers can pray for the sick to get healed.
Goals for this lesson
Pray for healing if the disciple is sick.
Instruct how to minister healing through the laying on of hands.
Share your experiences and testimonies of healing.
Lesson 9
THE FAMILY
Marriage and Family
Génesis 2:18, 21-22, 24
And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
In the beginning God established the marriage and gave Adam and Eve the ability to have children.
Gen 1:28
And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
2Co 6:14
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
A believer ought not to get married to an unbeliever. It is important to share the same faith in God to be able to enjoy a good marriage. The family is Gods idea, and He teaches us how to live right and enjoy life together.
The Plan of God for the Family
Efesios 5:23, 33
For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.
Eph 6:1-3
Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
Pro 22:6
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
If there is love and respect in the marriage the whole family will thrive. The children need to learn to be obedient and respectful. The parents share in the task of raising and preparing the children for life. It is important for the parents to provide the best possible home, church, and education for their children. We can believe God for the salvation of all of our household.
Mal 4:6
a“And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers,
Act 16:31
And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
The Church is for All the Family
Mat 19:13-15
Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them. But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.
In church we learn about life. The kids according to their capacity, the youth according to their interests and situation and the adults in a manner directed to them. In a special occasion called blessing or dedication the parents present their babies to God and the congregation. The family then receives a word of instruction and prayer.Jos 24:15”And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”
Joel 2:28-29
And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
Everyone in the family can serve and be involved in the work of the church. To be able to pass our faith over to our children it is important to be faithful to the church. The children learn from the example of the parents and their brothers.
It is a good idea to visit the family of the disciple and share the gospel with them. When a family gives themselves to the Lord there are many needs of ministry as water baptism, wedding or baby dedication in the church. The pastor can give family counseling if needed.
Summary
Marriage and Family has been instituted of God.
God wants to save all our family.
The church is for all our family.
Goals for this lesson
Visit or pray for the family of the disciple.
Talk about the marital status of the disciple.
Consider the possibility to disciple the family of the disciple.
Lesson 10
EVANGELISM
The Great Commission
Mar 16:15
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.”
Mat 28:19-20
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Jesus commanded us to share the good news and to make disciples. If we obey it is possible to reach all the world with the gospel. The church is a work team.
Joh 17:18, 20
(the prayer of Jesus) As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. Joh 17:20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
The Gospel is Good News
Rom 2:4
Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
Mat 25:41,46
Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels… And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
The word “gospel” means “good news.” Hell is a real place and Jesus is the only one that can save us from the eternal flames of fire. Yet we should not scare the people. It is better to testify about the goodness and love of God.
Joh 3:16-17
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
1Co 15:3-4
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Invite People to Church
Rom 10:13-15
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
The easiest way to win people is to invite them to the church. This is the work of the members. In the church they can hear the Word and receive salvation.
Win People by the Example of Your Life
2Co 3:2
Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men:
1Pe 3:1, 15
Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives… But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
If we enjoy life with God, the people around us will be impacted of our example. Many times, it is easier to win our own family by simply answering their questions. We can also ask God to send other people that can testify to them.
Luk 10:2
Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.
The Path of Romans
The best is to teach every believer how to show the plan of salvation in the Bible and pray with the once who wants to get saved. There is a group of verses that has been called “The path of Romans” and it shows us the plan of salvation in a very simple way.
Rom 3:23
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Rom 6:23
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
All of us need to receive salvation because all have failed God. The consequence of sin is eternal death, but God gives life to all that believe and confess Jesus as Lord.
Rom 10:9-10
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Train Every believer to Win Others for Christ
Rom 1:16
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
2Co 5:18
And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
It is of importance that each one of us accept our responsibility in the great work of God. If all of us will win the people that we know, we can reach a lot of people in a short time. Multiplication takes place when the people we reach are trained to reach others. At the same time, it is the best way to care for the new believers.
The new believers probably have family and friends that are not Christians. Pray for these, invite them to the church or better still present the gospel and pray with them to get saved.
Summary
Every believer has the responsibility to share the gospel.
Multiplication happens as we train every believer to win others.
Goals for this lesson
Embrace the responsibility to invite other people to church.
Instruct your disciple how to share the gospel with other people.
Train your disciple to pray with someone else to receive Jesus.
Lesson 11
MENTORING
How to Make Disciples
Mat 28:19
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Mat 9:9
And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.
Jesus gave us the challenge to go to all the world, share the gospel and make disciples. A disciple is a dedicated believer and active member of the church.
Be a Fisher of Men
Mat 4:19
And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
A fisher of men is a person that wins other people to the Lord. Discipleship aims to inspire people to make a personal commitment to follow Jesus.
1Pe 2:2-3
As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
Milk is food that can be consumed without chewing. The gospel is not hard to understand. Every disciple has questions and doubts. We can admit that we do not know all the right answers, but we continue to learn through the study of the Word of God.
Doing the Work of the Ministry
Eph 4:11-12
And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
The will of God is for every believer to do the work of the ministry. The ministers train the believers. The disciples do the work of God.
Act 9:10-12, 17-19
And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord. And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth, And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight. And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost. And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized. And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus.
Paul was healed, filled with the Holy Spirit and baptized in water through the ministry of a disciple called Ananias. Many people think that only the pastor can serve in these tasks, but God has given them to the disciples.
The Needs of a New Believer
1Ti 2:3,4
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
It is not enough to be saved. We also need to learn the basic truth to become a true disciple of Jesus Christ.
Heb 6:1
b,2 the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
A person that cares for a new believer is a spiritual parent. It is wonderful to have children, but it is also a great responsibility. A baby cannot take care of himself. However if a disciple does not want to continue the program, it is not good to pressure him. It is better to take a break and find another person to disciple.
1Co 4:15-16
For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel. Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.
The best is to find someone in the church that has not been discipled or trained to disciple. Also, mature believers need to be prepared to disciple others. Many times, there are family members or friends of the disciple that have an interest in the gospel.
Summary
We have received the task to win the world for Jesus.
The mature believers ought to care for the newly converted.
Goals for this lesson
Look for someone in the church that has not been discipled.
Find another person that has an interest in God and the Bible.
Lesson 12
THE VISION “MD”
Multiplying Disciples
Act 6:7
And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.
Any person will be able to win many lives for Christ using the “MD” as a tool. By advancing one class per week, a disciple can multiply into two, four, eight and finally sixteen disciples in one year. If we are faithful and dedicated to this vision, a powerful move of God will be produced. Only the human factor will limit the results.
How to Choose a Disciple
Even if we must present the gospel to all people, it is wise to find the adequate disciple. Someone that can embrace the responsibility to disciple other people. In general, it is advisable to disciple someone of the same sex. In the first class it is important to fill in the Personal information making it easier to maintain contact.
Study one class weekly together for 12 weeks while you show the disciple how to be a faithful member of the church. It is a good thing to choose a day and time to meet.
If you are more experienced, you can teach each subject using your own words and use the text only as a compliment. You should share your experiences to amplify the subject. Minister and teach the disciple according to the goals in each class. Do not forget to fill in the Progress Chart at the end of this book.
When you finish the training, the disciple can receive a certificate in the church with the laying on of hands of the leaders. The three requirements are that the disciple has to be saved, baptized in water and in the Holy Spirit. It is important to inform the pastor in the disciple desires to become a member of the church and if he needs counseling in family orientation, prayer for the baptism in the Holy Spirit or healing. In this way the disciple is getting to the place where he can start to disciple people himself.
The Best is to Disciple in Groups of People
If the disciple has not reached the three requirements or if he fells unsecure to have the responsibility for a disciple himself, you can form a discipleship group of four people. In this way the more mature one will be a mentor as you advance together. A group can consist of people of both genders. It is very effective for a couple to disciple another couple. In this way whole families are won to the Lord.
You can form groups of four, six, eight, ten or more people where the one that starts the group becomes the leader. The basic format is for every person to have his own disciple, but it is also possible to train a group using “MD”. If a disciple is not present, you will have to find a way to help him catch up.
To disciple individually is good and has its advantages, but it is more dynamic to form a group where you can sing, worship, and pray together. It is a good thing to serve a cup of coffee or tea to enjoy good fellowship together. You can meet in a home, school, university, workplace, cafe, park or in the church. It is important that every disciple can express himself and ask questions about the class material. To vary you can also invite a minister to your group that can minister to the disciples according to his call and gifts.
Discipleship and the Church
It is good to train every member of the church to disciple other people. The goal is to raise up dedicated and active members. This includes to learn how to live for God, tithe, pray will someone for salvation, baptize in water, minister healing and the baptism in the Holy Spirit. It is vital to inform the leaders about the progress and the experiences that can inspire other disciples. The vision with “MD” will cause booth spiritual and numeric growth in the church and is also of great help as you plant a new church.
It is very important to assist the disciple in the transition to start to disciple another person. This is the most critical time. If both of you will get a new disciple, you have reached the success of multiplication.
It is important to present your disciple with a filled-out certificate in the church to an usher. In this way he can inform the pastor in preparation for the laying on of hand and sending him out to make disciples and to do the work of the ministry. If the disciple can’t or doesn’t want to be present in the church you can present the certificate in the last class if he has fulfilled the three requirements. If not, he can participate in a group that you can form together with other disciples. When the disciple is ready you can present the certificate in the church, in the group or privately.
Congratulations for doing the work of God! – Do not forget to fill at the Progress Chart in the end of this book and continue to make disciples.
