Individual Discipleship Plan

Specialized for: JACK

It's good to know you feel that you are on a "good" level right now with God.  I now challenge you to go from your "good" level to a "great" level if you wish to become a leader and a teacher.  Remember what I told you about James 1:3 and I would also expect you to look up 1 Corinthians 9:14.  Remember, that if you are blind in a certain area of your faith, you cannot possibly lead those younger than you until you can clearly see the path.

It's awesome that God is helping you with having self-control and allowing Him to help you learn from your mistakes.  Remember the nail you've put in your room when you wake up and make sure to take a few minutes to quiet your heart, read the Word, and pray before starting the day.  Remember that unless you are willing to start the day with God, Satan will be ahead of you all day.  It's also important to note that while it is important to learn from mistakes, please do not choose to make mistakes.  That, in essence, is stupidity which can be considered the equivalent of sinning...(remember that next time you see something stupid happen )

So your prayer requests will be kept in my prayer journal and prayer pad.  Remember that unless you are willing to give your life to God, the Potter (and I'm not talking about Harry) is going to have a hard time molding you.  Remember to keep in the faith, and continually explore God's word...focus your mind upon the Cross and not that Britney Spears poster and you should be fine.

If you have any more questions about the book I let you borrow, let me know.  Bill Meyers is a rather funny guy and I think you'll like the book a lot as it will address a lot of questions you may have about the faith.

So this week's devotional guide (the one I gave you is now secondary stuff) is as follows:
- The Call of Ezekiel: The importance of reading the Bible and the willingness to tell others about the Good News
     Ezekiel 2 & Ezekiel 3 (pay close attention to Ezekiel 2:9-3:8
     and Ezekiel 3:17-19)
- The Call of Jonah: An example of who not to be and how not to act when God calls us to do something
     Jonah 1, Jonah 3, & Jonah 4 (pay close attention to Jonah and
     God's conversation in chapter 4...compare this to Job and God's
     conversation from Job 40:1-42:6)
- The Call of Simon Peter: Yes, God can use anyone for His kingdom, even a stuttering fisherman
    John 1:35-42 & Matthew 4:18-22 (the well known phrase "I will
    make your fishers of men" is found here)
- The Call of the Apostle Paul:  We can either do this the nice way or the hard way...well, let's just say Paul chose the hard way
    Acts 9:1-31
