Converge, Week 4 - Day 5: Disciples Make Disciples

Converge, Week 4 Day 5: Disciples Make Disciples Devotional There’s something amazing about watching a parent teach their child to ride a bike. First, they run alongside, holding on tightly. Then they let go for just a moment, ready to catch them if they fall. Eventually, they watch with pride as their child rides confidently on their own, and someday, that child will teach their own children to ride. This is the natural progression of discipleship. After being faithfully discipled for several years, learning to feed yourself spiritually and growing in maturity, you reach a point where you’re ready to help others on their journey. This isn’t about having all the answers or being perfect. It’s about being willing to share what you’ve learned and walk alongside someone else as they grow. Just as you once needed someone to encourage you, answer your questions, and help you navigate challenges, others need that same investment from you. The multiplication principle is crucial—if disciples don’t make disciples, the mission stops with us. But when we embrace our calling to pour into others, the impact multiplies exponentially. The person you disciple will disciple others, who will disciple others, and the kingdom continues to grow. This might feel intimidating, but remember that God doesn’t call the equipped; He equips the called.. You just need to be faithful with what you know and willing to learn alongside those you’re helping. Bible Verse ‘Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few.”’ - Matthew 9:37 Reflection Question Who in your life might God be calling you to invest in as a disciple, and what’s one small step you could take this week to begin that relationship? Quote Disciples make disciples. Prayer God, thank You for those who invested in my spiritual growth. Help me to see the opportunities You’re placing before me to disciple others. Give me wisdom, patience, and love as I seek to help others grow in their faith.
