“For you remember
what we taught you by the authority of the Lord Jesus.”
(I
Thessalonians 4:2 NLT)
Throughout
the life of Jesus, he was constantly teaching others. He taught his followers
how to pray, how to love, and what it meant to be a follower of the way. All of
the Apostles understood that what they had learned from Jesus must be passed on
to the next group of followers, so that the message of Jesus would touch every
life. You have been given the task of teaching as a follower of Jesus. There
are those that watch every step you make, and they try to imitate the person
that you are. That is why we must embrace the power and responsibility of
teaching and mentoring a new generation of spiritual leaders. God did not call
you to be an “IronMaker” for nothing but instead to live out your call by
teaching others the way of Jesus as others have taught you.
IronMaker’s Daily Challenge: Contact someone today that has
impacted your faith in Jesus by (phone, email, text, or face to face) and tell
them they are a “difference maker.”
Prayer: Lord, I stand before you as one who has been
taught to follow you. I ask that you now make me a teacher of others, so that
they may follow you as I do.
