[KSS BENTLEY]

Today Ps. Hein preached about Kingdom Discipleship. In order to follow Christ, we have to be Christ disciple. Since we are the citizen of God’s Kingdom, we must obey the Rule and Regulation of God’s Kingdom. We need to be regenerated, realigned, and reshaped to meet the requirement of the Kingdom by Discipleship Training. God chose us to be His disciple (not us who choose Him). God wants us to go (reach out) and make others as God’s disciple as well. There are 5 Discipleship Principles:

1. Discipleship is a command, not an option.
2. Discipleship is God’s strategy to win the nations, souls.
3. Discipleship is not the goal, but a process to maturity.
4. Discipleship is Christ-centered.
5. Discipleship is a life-changing, equipping, character building, fruitfulness, and multiplication.

Today Ps. Santoso filled in for the fellowship. He preached about how we can be Reshaped by Jesus. Jeremiah 18:1-6 indicates that we are the clay and God is the Potter. As a clay, we need to go through several steps in order to be a clay pot, they are:

1. Moulding – we cannot harden our hearts, we need to prepare when God wants to mould our hearts in accordance with His will.
2. Shaping – we are put on the moving stand, He shaped us in one direction, from inside out. This shows that we cannot look back as when we are shaped, we only face one direction, the future.
3. Detailing – to keep the clay soft, we need water. The water here represents the Holy Spirit in our lives. God gives the Holy Spirit to keep us burning and help us when we have problems.
4. Burning – shaped clay pots are then dried and burned in very high temperature, this symbolises persecution. Through persecution, we will be pure.

In 2 Timothy 2:20-21 indicates there are instruments used either for unholy or holy purposes. It is the same as us, the clay pots, which one we would like to be used?
