Day 49: Go & Make Disciple
“When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. Then he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation.” While He was still talking to the multitudes, behold, His mother and brothers stood outside, seeking to speak with Him. Then one said to Him, “Look, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak with You.” But He answered and said to the one who told Him, “Who is My mother and who are My brothers?” And He stretched out His hand toward His disciples and said, “Here are My mother and My brothers! For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.”
Mt 12:43-50 NKJV
http://bible.com/114/mat.12.43-50.NKJV
The soul of a person from whom he or she has been delivered by the power of Christ is unoccupied. It is empty of the former inhabitant and is ready to accept new things. Hence, it is so important that we minister to the person with continual prayer, watchfulness and with God's Word. How we must direct the person to encounter Jesus by himself or herself. This is discipleship, which is the last command of Jesus but should be our first concern. In this way, we are definitely doing God's will, fulfilling the Great Commission in Matthew 28:19-20, "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age." https://twitter.com/EstherOngHC (please click to view a visual)
