The guest speaker today was Rev Benny Ho
Who is based in Perth, as most of us know
He read the first seven verses from 2 Timothy two
Which happens to be one of his life verses too
He showed us a video about filling bottles with water
The message also applies to teaching a son or a daughter
It is more efficient to be up close one-on-one
That is how discipleship should really be done
A key word in verse two is “entrust”
For disciple making, this is a must
It starts with a strong believer
Whose faith acts as a lever
Another key trait for disciples is “reliable”
Which they must have if the plan is to be viable
Here is where Rev Ho
Told us which way to go
In teaching disciples, we should focus on quality
Reaching out to crowds may be an act of frivolity
We are not all called to be a preacher
But each of us can surely be a teacher
Creating disciples in a small group
Is more effective than a big troop
Even within his twelve, Jesus was closest to three
Just like Paul with Titus, Philemon, and Timothy
Having a quality foundation
Leads to better multiplication
Rev Ho said that “More time spent with fewer people
Equals greater lasting impact for God” and His people
He also highlighted metaphors three
About how a good soldier or athlete should be
Devotion and discipline are costs
Over which we should not gloss
But the farmer’s reward
Comes straight from the Lord
In conclusion, he said to keep our eyes
On the very worthwhile prize
The effort we put in now
Growth for the future will allow
It will be worth it
So we should not quit
