False doctrine has been rampant since Bible times. We must be careful not to be deceived by false prophets.

This is why we must know what the Bible says and take heed to who teaches what, and what kind of doctrine they teach.

We must also not entertain any form of mockery or insults against the Christian faith.

Following a spiritual father is a big part of growth in discipleship. A spiritual father is one whom God has given to someone for their spiritual well-being. Scriptures give us solid backing for this sort of relationship. We see examples with Paul and Timothy, and Elijah and Elisha. Through observation, following instructions, and learning to stay, you will grow.

Ministry gifts are vital for church development, and this is God's strategy for building and equipping men. In order to be mentored by a spiritual father, service within the church is essential because this fosters discipleship and character building. Elisha showed great tenacity to learn, observe and be in close proximity with his spiritual father (Elijah) which only a follower would possess. By observing your ministry gifts closely and seeing what is possible in their lives, you can see all that is possible in your life as well.

Our idea on discipleship should be from the scriptures, you need to put aside your own idea and accept scriptures, The church of Christ must be a church of disciples, Your walk with Christ is an instruction, A lot of people are saved but not discipled, you need to be discipled.

To be a student of the Word, it is important to prioritize going to church to be taught the things of God. Honor and take seriously, the structures that have been set for you in the church. The structures are put in place to aid your spiritual growth. This is the way to be a disciple.

Jesus set a structure for how the church and the gospel would continue to move forward in His absence. This was His final instruction before His ascension. He gave them a template of what He had done with them to do with others. He said, “Go into the world and make disciples…” As such, the church of Christ is not meant to be a mere assembly of members but a community of devoted disciples.

The Spirit of God brings order into the lives of his children who align themselves to the vision of God- preaching the gospel to all men. God is willing and able to bring order into every area of your life including your health, your finances, your academics, your business, and your family. Align yourself to his will, and you will experience his order. This teaching on order by the Spirit sheds more light on this.

A lot of people get saved without being taught in church. You must be taught and be ready to listen to instructions. A man is saved by faith in his heart that by the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus, you are saved.

Effectiveness in understanding and living the Word of God requires retaining in your consciousness all you have learnt. To grow in the things of God, you must set adequate structures to keep you in check. Neglecting these structures would lead to inconsistency. A decline in your faith is not sudden, but rather a summation of failed structures. It is therefore important to prioritize the things of God.

The Bible works together, you don’t judge scriptures by your feelings, The scripture is correct no matter how you feel, from scriptures we see that the law was not cancelled but fulfilled, The law was never to make man righteous.
