Be Intentional - an outline for discipleship and accountability

Posted on Tue, Jan 17, 2012

  1. You are going to have to prioritize your personal discipleship, accountability, and outreach. These must be planned for and the plan must be implemented.
    1. Discipleship – following Jesus
    2. Accountability – finding one or more people to support, share with, and pray for /with as we walk this Journey together. 
      1. Accountability is not “telling each other what to do”, other than insisting that we pray and obey the Spirit’s leading in our lives. 
      2. Accountability is about surrendering our self-centered journey for the benefits of friendship and brotherhood/sisterhood in the Body of Christ.
    3. Outreach – making Disciples of other people
      1. Outreach simply means that you intentionally develop relationships with people the Holy Spirit brings into your area of influence. 
        1. E.g. – School groups, lunch hour, homework assignments, P.E., etc., etc., etc.
          1. God is not limited by the abundance or lack of people in your life. He will bring someone to you, either physically or in your thoughts, when you intentionally ask Him to.
      2. Take advantage of THE OPPORTUNITY.
        1. It’s simple. Each day, my activities put me in contact with people all over this town and region. Having the courage to see/sense the opportunity (sad facial expression, homeless person asking for money, counter girl at Wal-Mart I’m talking to, etc), through the Holy Spirit's guidance, leads to MORE OPPORTUNITY.
      3. Everyday, you see many of the same people. Start a conversation, and let it progress to a relationship.
  2. The Challenge
    1. Pick an accountability partner or partners (this is a person you KNOW loves God and others).
      1. Name(s)
        1. ______________________ 2. ________________________ 3. ________________________
  1. Talk to that/those person(s) Every Day
    1. Share
    2. Pray for each other
    3. Plan your outreach together
      1. Doesn’t have to be implemented together, but it may help to have someone with you as you approach someone ... (asking someone to sit with you at lunch, etc.)
      2. Share and pray about your plan and the people the Holy Spirit brings to you

We are not made to walk alone! God uses people to reach people, and that goes for us believers too. We need people we can be accountable to and walk this journey to Heaven with. Try this out! You won't be disappointed.
