Christians seeking to deepen their spiritual maturity and understand the biblical principles of discipleship and growth.
Key Takeaways
- Spiritual growth requires intentional discipline and a commitment to divine principles, as it is intended for those who take their relationship with God seriously rather than casually.
- Believers should reject a 'fan' or 'follower' mentality, which is based on fleeting emotions and interests, and instead embrace the role of a student in the school of the spirit.
- The church is not a place for celebrity culture; it is a gathering of hungry individuals focused on Jesus, led by vessels who communicate His intent through sound doctrine.
- Fasting and prayer are essential spiritual disciplines; neglecting them renders a believer vulnerable to defeat and reflects a lack of spiritual diligence in their walk with God.
- Disciples must submit to the 'menu' of growth designed by the Holy Spirit and spiritual shepherds, acknowledging that they do not choose the specific teachings required for their development.
- Societal stability and order depend on three foundational pillars: the knowledge of the true God, the presence of teaching priests, and the adherence to divine law.
- Satan actively seeks to steal the word of God from believers, making it critical for congregants to fight distractions and cultivate understanding to ensure spiritual fruitfulness.
- The grace and spiritual investments placed upon a leader can be shared with their congregation, as believers are called to be active partakers of the grace operating in their ministry.

Questions & Answers
What is the difference between a follower and a disciple?
A follower is a fan who subscribes to a platform based on emotions and interests. A disciple is a student in the school of the spirit who submits to growth, mentorship, and divine principles.
Why is fasting important for a believer?
Apostle Joshua Selman states that a believer who does not fast is not only lazy but is also a Christian who will be defeated utterly. Fasting is a vital spiritual discipline for power and growth.
What are the two keys for the living of man?
Jesus identified two keys for living: bread and words. While bread sustains physical life, the word of God is essential for spiritual life and effectiveness.
What three things must be present to prevent a territory from being in trouble?
According to 2 Chronicles 15:3, a territory is in trouble if it lacks the knowledge and allegiance to the true God, the presence of a teaching priest, and the rule of law.
What is the role of a disciple regarding their spiritual growth?
A disciple submits to the covenant of growth and does not choose their own menu. It is the assignment of the Holy Spirit, in partnership with God's shepherds, to design a menu profitable for the disciple's growth.
What is the assignment of Satan when the saints are gathered?
Satan's singular assignment when the saints gather is to steal the word of God, as illustrated in the parable of the seed and the sower where he attempts to pick the seed before it takes root.
