Brief Summary of Masterlife 1 - Spend Time With The Master

What does discipleship really mean?
Possible answers will be: studentship, follower-ship, apprenticeship, being obedient, being faithful, having to sacrifice something, surrendering, etc.

Christian discipleship is developing a personal, lifelong, obedient relationship with Jesus Christ in which He transforms your character into Christlikneness; changes your values into Kingdom values; and involves you in His mission in the home, the church, and the world.

Discipleship simply means putting God first before anything else, and having a personal relationship without any barriers in between.

Obedience is the key to discipleship which leads to two things.
1. knowing the commandments (knowing)
2. memorizing the scriptures (doing)

3 things which ensures us that we are abiding in Christ
- maintaining quiet time
- reading God's Word
- scripture memorizing

Memorizing scriptures will help us in times of temptation, trials, difficulty moments by remembering the promises and assurance from God.

Things to ponder for as we journey on this week..
1. Is God your first priority in life everyday?
2. Does God come into life only when problems arise? Do you seek Him both in big and small problems or only for the big ones, thinking that you should not be troubling Him and settle the small problems yourself?
3. Are you doing your quiet time daily because it is part of a "to do list" thing, or is it because you want to have a deeper relationship with Him?

memory verses for this week are Luke 9:23 and John 15:5.
