Rev.Dr. Samuel Meshack delivers God’s message to us on the topic, ‘Discipleship as Witness’. In the New Testament, Jesus had called twelve followers as His disciples. After His ascension, we as His children are invited by God to be anointed with the Holy Spirit and to accept the gift of salvation that is made available to all by His blood.
               
The sermon focusses on the life of Elisha and his response to his call to ministry. Elijah prepares Elisha for serving God, but his anointing comes from God. Elisha immediately responded to his calling as he left everything that he had and followed Elijah. He moved forward without any doubt and trusted in God. Elisha humbled himself before God’s presence and learned whatever he could from Elijah. Even while going through obstacles Elisha persevered with utmost faith in God.

Just like Elisha, we are given the opportunity to give heed to God’s calling as well, the choice is ultimately ours. Great challenges and sufferings may lie ahead for us when we become disciples of Christ, but when we encourage one another we understand the essence of the crucifixion of Christ. May we be torchbearers for God as we let our light shine before others, that they may see our good deeds and glorify our Father in heaven.
