Rejoice in what God is doing
The 5 Verbs of Learning: Celebrate
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
Philippians 4:4
A remarkable step in the disciples’ conversion process is a story of the change from them hiding in fear after the resurrection to become world-changing missionaries. The disciples were filled with God’s power so all the experiences and risks were energized by the Holy Spirit at Pentecost.
We receive the Holy Spirit when we are born of the Spirit. With His power we move from being the ministry to doing the ministry. We start thinking about making disciples and taking agency not only for our own learning but also to encourage others. As we move into the incarnate step, we repeat the process in forming other learners to become workers. We have a new purpose as Kingdom workers desiring to help mobilize more workers. This activates the fifth learning verb which is to ‘celebrate’. We worship God for who he is and also we praise him for what he is doing in and through us.
For Reflection:
- What are you celebrating in your own discipleship?
- What are you celebrating with your friends who are taking the 40 days?
Make Life Count:
- Make a list of celebration items and talk to God about it. (Consider having a special place in a notebook to keep a running list.)
- Where can you celebrate what the Lord is doing?
