Philippians 3:17 - "Join with others in following my example, brothers, and take note of those who live according to the pattern we gave you."

Pattern makers are visionary leaders who model and exemplify a lifestyle of Kingdom advancement with Christ, so that others are enabled and equipped into their Christ identity to follow suit.

Pattern makers are MENTORS and SPIRITUAL MOTHERS and FATHERS to others. They are often pioneers who are breaking into new territory and doing things that might not have been done before.

If we are to be Kingdom builders, we must embrace the simple truth that the willingness to DISCIPLE new believers are an essential aspect of being a FRUITFUL advancer of the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19). This aspect of the ascended life in will birth ongoing godly transformation in us AND THE ONES WE DISCIPLE to the glory of His name.

We are built up as we meditate and visualize the love of Jesus flowing into our heart which stokes irresistible passion in our heart for the spiritual advancement of other Believers – that they will grow in faith and in maturity, to be equipped and sent out to carry on with discipling others, and to attain to the fullness of Christ (see Ephesians 4:12)

By teaching (one on one), the Kingdom of God is not only established in grace, but also advances in the power of the Holy Spirit's revelation, wisdom and truth. Paul taught the twelve new disciples for two years in the lecture hall of Tyrannus, and we are told that both the Jews and the Greeks throughout the province of Asia heard the word of the Lord (Acts 19:10).

For twenty-four long months, the Apostle Paul labored tirelessly to bring the word of the Lord to the believers he was discipling in preparation to minister and impact the surrounding community. He trained the young disciples into their Christ identity and laid a strong foundation upon which the glory could manifest in signs, wonders, and miracles. During this 24-month period of equipping, Paul prepared a team that could co-labor with him in the season of in-gathering for the harvest that was just around the corner.

When He mobilizes us to a God-given task/assignment (discipleship of others), He releases the necessary grace, authority, power and wisdom to us to consolidate and implement vision and follow through to completion.

Since we confess our oneness with Christ we are no longer living by our faith but rather the faith OF GOD. . Followers of Jesus in this hour will have God's faith in them that will gain ground for God’s Kingdom throughout the earth.
