In pursuit of purpose, every man is faced with two realities: what he is in the present versus what he has been called to be. In between these two points, we are either staying on track by giving ourselves to God for training (discipleship) or going off-track by busily fulfilling our own selfish desires and ambitions.

In this Holy Communion Service message, “Discipleship To Apostleship”, Pastor Jeffrey Walter explains that while we do not have control over the timing of our spiritual transformation, we must remain aware of certain markers, which indicate that the Lord is being successful with us. He teaches on the need to stay mindful of our calling (apostleship), in order to give ourselves to training (discipleship). He uncovers the deceitfulness of chasing selfish and worldly pursuits. Finally, he re-centers attention on the only cause that truly matters: the fulfilment of God's agenda on earth, through men who have yielded their vessels to Him to be sent forth.

Dear one, even though the promised destination (your apostleship) may seem afar off, believe! Be encouraged and push hard to give full expression to your calling in the Lord. Men in dire spiritual need are counting on you. Will the Lord succeed in reaching them through you?
