Disciple-Maker's Vision

DAY 9 OF 40

Farming looked different in Jesus' day than it does now. No tight and tidy rows, limited plowing equipment, and definitely no irrigation. Just a dude and pouch of seeds side-arming here, there, and everywhere as he goes. When the sower was done, it was done. No blogs about botany or morning weather forecasts, no library on how to seed the soil any better. Just went where he went. Sowed what he had. Then waited.

As you listen in today with how Jesus said it, listen too for how you've been making it more complicated (and less rested) than it needs to be. Back away from your need to have a method of evangelism or game plan for discipleship. Just notice your field (your circle of influence) and notice your seeds (that which Jesus has done and his gospel has grown - especially in you), and then imagine sowing that field as you go. Seeds don’t grow everywhere they land; your vision is that they’ll grow in at least one place (or person) they land in.

About this Plan

Disciple-Maker's Vision

A Disciple-Maker life takes Disciple-Maker Vision. My growth, my Jesus, my discipleship has its place center stage, but it's not the only thing on the stage. No theater runs with a cast of individuals buried in their own script, waiting for their own queues. It takes cast members that see everyone else's part, see the props and pieces to hold, see the overall plot and the scenes that build it, see the audience whom all this is for, and see the director from whom all things come. It's the same with Jesus in the great dramatic unfolding of his kingdom come and his gospel for all. You probably started with fixating on your part, which is normal and expected. The time comes when you see the rest. Every Disciple is to become a Disciple-Maker. These next forty days are for shifting your Vision to that of a Disciple-Maker. More than nuggets of wisdom, this devotional aims to set you up with an open-ended dialog with Jesus. Be ready to sit in scripture and prayer long enough for something new to be formed with him.
