Day 34 (9 September 2018, Sunday)
2 Timothy 2:2 And what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also.
Genuineness “become something very rare and precious in a market filled with counterfeits and fakes. Likewise is our faith.
Is there a way for us to lead and assist others in becoming true disciples of Christ? The key lies with us first becoming Christ’s disciples. Regardless of the stage of life, we are in, the position we hold, the title we claim to be in church, and whether we are parents, instructors, mentors or bosses, etc., there is an inevitable fact we all have to face. Only those throughout their lifetimes who are disciples of Christ are capable of influencing others to become disciples too.
Paul exhorted the Corinthians to imitate him as he imitated Christ. His former statement will sound too arrogant if there were no subsequent facts to support it. We end up with mere religious forms and outlooks and are not considered as His disciples the moment we stop following Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Only true disciples magnify their Lord and humble themselves by following Christ step by step, in order to live like Him and to reveal His love and fragrance. People can see within them virtuous values they have been holding and defending as they live for Christ. Only people with such values are able to bring forth excitement in others, and they will experience deeply in their hearts the reality of Christ’s life and confess that “You are my living testimony”!

You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk to them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontless between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
