Discipleship is Relationship

“Invite” concludes the series Tagged

The last part of the series, Tagged: Get into the Soul Network focused on ways on how to get people into Discipleship.

As Bro. Jon Escoto, Laguna Feast Builder explains,“Discipleship is Relationship. Leading people to God to hear God’s word consciously or unconsciously”

Raising a question to the audience, “How do you know if a person is a genuine Christian?”

“A genuine Christian is someone who introduces God to others and those who invite others to have a relationship with Him.”

However Bro. Jon warned that there is a wrong way of doing the right things when it comes to inviting people to establish relationship with God.

Likening discipleship to a type of fish, Bro. Jon said that there are 2 kinds.

Shark – Matapang, Mabangis. These are people that would tell you that what you do is wrong and theirs is right. People tends to go away from these kinds

Dolphin – Playful and Friendly. People enjoys being with them and understands what discipleship is all about.

“Christians are more known for what they are against and not what they are for" adds Bro. Jon

Stating his reason why Christians find it difficult to invite others into Discipleship, he said 

“Baka kaya di natin Siya mapakilala sa iba ay dahil di pa natin Siya tunay na kakilala”

When Jesus invites people into discipleship He does not look into the personality but rather the worth of the person.

“Jesus dines with you first before inviting you to be his disciple” Bro. Jon adds.

Summarizing his topic, Bro. Jon said that “When Jesus asks us to make disciples He just simply wanted us to make relationships.”
