The Disciple Lifestyle. RCCG SOD Year Two

THE disciple is a pilgrim, a stranger In Hebrews 11: 13, the Bible concerning the disciple, “They all died in faith, having received the promises but having seen then afar off.

They were persuaded of them, embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.”

According to 1 Peter 2:11, our city is in heaven This world is not our own (Philippians 3:20; Hebrews 13:13 world is need to know that we are through this world.

The disciple is a man on a journey who will still return home.

He is a ‘strange’ creature Why? Because he is in the world but not of the world Why? B5:199.). We are a different people even though we re living with others in this world.

The disciple is a soldier, always on the warfront is not a civilian. He is always ready for action. Ephesians 6:13).

The disciple has an order to be ready for battle always. I Timothy 6:12-14. He is commanded to fight and resist the devil steadfastly (James 47, 1 Peter 5.8 9).

At the same time, the disciple is a priest in the temple and a king on the throne. In the olden days, if you were a priest, you could not be a king or vice versa, but the disciple is both a priest and a king.

That is why he is called the Royal Priesthood. Royalty talks about kingship, and priesthood talks about being a priest.

As a priest, he has to worship God constantly. Revelation 1:5-6.

THE DISCIPLE AND TIME

The disciple is a forever man.’ He is for eternity (I Thessalonians 4:17). The disciple is always conscious of time, Ecclesiastes 3:1-20.

He knows the value of time. The disciple must be aware that there is a time for birth and a time to die. Immediately a child is born, he begins to grow, or he begins to die.

That is why at age, a baby is referred to as a day ‘old’ and not a day ‘young.’

You must know that day to day, you are getting closer to the grave, and thus closer to the day of judgement.

Hebrews 9:27 says, “it is appointed unto man to die once and after death is judgement. “The disciple is a man in a hurry, because he knows that time is against him.

Any opportunity that goes is gone forever. A disciple is careful about how he uses his time. He is not a time-waster, because he has eternity in mind.
