About this book

Have you ever been told to go and win souls for Christ through street evangelism or any other setting and you just sense you are not cut out for this? When you eventually manage to convince someone to accept Jesus as savior, you begin to realize you are clueless as to where to begin in the discipleship journey. If that is your situation, you are not alone.

As a Christian of over thirty (30) years, listening to sermons from different pulpits from around the world, over media networks and at our local churches, I am amazed at the lack of or non-existence of practical teaching on how to actually go out and make disciples of all nations as Jesus Christ instructed us during His last command to the disciples, until the last thirteen years that this insight came to me in my visible encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ on 22nd, of April 2006. You will find the story on the encounter in the introductory part of Clueless – Go Make Disciples. Even then, I am still fine-tuning my understanding.

I know and I am aware that there are countless Christians, who love the Lord dearly and are involved in relentless church activities week in and week out that have no clue as to how to really go out and make disciples of all nations. Some of our church pews are filled with recycled converts that do not know their left from their right concerning disciple making after years of conversion. Some of our churches have become like the dead sea where we keep taking in messages and not being equipped to let out the treasure within.

This book, Clueless – Go and make disciples was written for you to equip you, as a practical how to book for the great commission work using Discovery Bible Study and the best of Disciple Making movement, Training the trainer (T4T) and other disciple making processes all in one place. Questions like - How do you make sense of the various disciple making movement? what fits into your particular church setting? What works for you? What are the positive results of stories out there from different disciple making movements?

By the time you are done reading Clueless – Go and make disciples, you will begin to actually make disciples and equip other groomed leaders to do likewise in any and every setting where you find yourself and your fruit will certainly remain. From the many approaches to discipleship out there, you will find your unique style and place in the body of Christ and function in that office effectively. You will find practical tips on how to start a group amongst different people groups (Urban and rural) and look for trigger points within any setting to start a discovery process. You will identify your unique gifting in the body of Christ and function effectively within it and much, much more!

Useful Quote on Discipleship and the Christian life

It is impossible to live the life of a disciple without definite times of secret prayer. You will find that the place to enter in is in your business, as you walk along the streets, in the ordinary ways of life, when no one dreams you are praying, and the reward comes openly, a revival here, a blessing there.

- Oswald Chambers

Christianity without discipleship is always Christianity without Christ.

- Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Only a disciple can make a disciple.

- A. W. Tozer

By this may all know that we are not His disciples, because we hate one another.

- Robert Leighton

When you make disciples, you always get churches, but when you plant churches you don’t always get disciples – Anonymous

We have suffered from the preaching of cheap grace. Grace is free, but it is not cheap. People will take anything that is free, but they are not interested in discipleship. They will take Christ as Savior but not as Lord.

- Vance Havner

Cheap grace is the preaching of forgiveness without requiring repentance, baptism without church discipline, Communion without confession, absolution without personal confession. Cheap grace is grace without discipleship, grace without the cross, grace without Jesus Christ.

- Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Church attendance is as vital to a disciple as a transfusion of rich, healthy blood to a sick man.

- Dwight L. Moody

No matter how high the powers of reason, no matter how deep the intellect, no one can discover God's secret messages without paying the cost of true discipleship.

- Winkie Pratney

Because God disciplines those He loves, He will take drastic measures to get our attention if we need to grow up spiritually.

- Crystal McDowell

Craig, just ask God to give you one man. Then when God gives you a man, pour your life into him. - Anonymous

the only life insurance or assurance you and I have is to be in the center of Gods will for our lives. – Ben Akpera, HTL

"Our salvation comes without any work on our part, but our growth as a disciple and disciple maker does require some effort on our part. We need to be like Paul in Philippians 3:14 and press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. That is where some intentional goal setting comes in." – Discipleship.org

"Is it good enough simply to make people feel secure in this life and hopeful about eventually getting out of this sin-filled world and safely through the pearly gates? Right now, that is the main thing the church is doing. In stark contrast are those tasks like restoring creation, restoring God’s glory, rediscovering Satan’s works, and deliberately destroying his deeds and deadly delusions. Are we trying to win a war simply by caring for the wounded? The fruits of evil—sickness, poverty, illiteracy, and inhumanity—draw our attention away from the roots of evil.

This is a wartime and Biblical perspective, yet that fact has apparently evaporated into the thin air of the current mood, which is defined by an artificial and inadequate (albeit pervasive) peacetime mandate. The Biblical mandate is the Gospel of the Kingdom,—meaning the extension of that Rule against opposition. It is not merely a Gospel of salvation. The Gospel of the Kingdom is the central matter of God’s will being done on earth as it is in heaven. It is a mandate that is distinctly larger than getting along in this life with the help of business, and getting to heaven with the help of missions. God’s glory is at stake, and His glory is our main business."

- Ralph D. Winter

Check this out in 1 Thessalonians 5:23, 2 Timothy 1:7 Hebrews 4:12-13; 1 Corinthians 3: 1- 17; Leviticus 26:12; Jeremiah 32:38; Ezekiel 37:27; 2 Corinthians 6:16; 1 John 4:4

Read – 1 Thessalonians 5:23 Amplified Bible (AMP) 23 Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you through and through [ that is, separate you from profane and vulgar things, make you pure and whole and undamaged—consecrated to Him—set apart for His purpose ]; and may your spirit and soul and body be kept complete and [be found ] blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Our Mission at God’s Eagle Ministries ties in with Ephesians 4:1-16, to seek out the best of the best five (5) fold ministry gifts in the body of Christ, so that they can equip the saints for the work of Ministry (Laborers are few indeed, whilst there are ripe harvest of souls all around us waiting to be harvested) equipping continues till we all come to the unity of faith as loudly proclaimed in the place of prayer by Jesus Himself in John 17.

Our core passion is to point the saints, who are sons of our Father God to Christ, who is the head of the body according to the order of

John 1:12-13

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

12 But to as many as did receive and welcome Him, He gave the authority (power, privilege, right) to become the children of God, that is, to those who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His name—

13 Who owe their birth neither to bloods nor to the will of the flesh [that of physical impulse] nor to the will of man [that of a natural father], but to God. [They are born of God!]

and Ephesians 1:5

He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will

But not as jobless sons but those who are well equipped through core practical oriented Discipleship so that they can launch out as a mighty army to go make disciples of all nations without regards to denomination for we are one in Christ Jesus, amen.

To promote Christ in us – sons of a mighty God, the hope of glory!
