My title: “Teaching with a Kingdom Purpose”
📖 Scripture: Matthew 28:19–20 (NIV)
"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations… teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
Reflection:
As Christian educators or as a teacher educators to our participants, we are called to more than academic instruction. Our ultimate mission is to disciple students—to help shape not only their minds but also their hearts toward Christ. This is not always easy. Discipleship takes time, patience, and intentionality. It means modeling Christ’s love daily, even when we are tired or frustrated.
In the classroom, every moment becomes an opportunity:
A word of encouragement can build up a child’s identity in Christ.
A moment of correction can be delivered with grace and truth.
A lesson can still point to God’s wisdom and glory.
Jesus’ command in Matthew 28 wasn’t just for missionaries or pastors—it’s for every believer. “PARA GYUD NI SIYA SA TANAN BELIEVER in short sa atoa gyud ni tanan.
And for teachers, sa inyu mga teachers, it’s a daily calling to make disciples through teaching. Actually this is great opportunity to disciple your students, to nurture them spiritually, always keep in mind that this opportunity is very real kasi nga diba hawak nyo na ang bata (tagalog napud 😂) kaya making disciples is our main purpose of teaching them, though we have our curriculum guide for our lesson but don’t allow na mahuman lang ang whole day na klasi ninyo with your student na wala gyud ninyo sila nahatagan ug impartation when it comes to spiritual. Kaya gani diba naa ta’y spiritual lessons/topic kay para mas mo strong pagyud ang spiritual feeding ngadto sa ilaha, also this opportunity is nindot kaayo kay bata palang sila natodloan na, napadool na nato sila sa Ginoo. Kaya hatagi gyud ninyo ug value ang spiritual lesson ninyo ngadto sa ilaha. Since bata pa sila, you can become even more resourceful in your teaching.
And the best part? You are not alone. Jesus promises, “I am with you always.” Even on the hard days. Even when students don’t listen. Even when you feel like you’re not making a difference. You are not alone! Kauban nimo si Lord to disciple the children. Love your ministry karon kay dako kaayo ni siyag tabang sa bata nga handle nimo karon in the future.
Prayer:
Lord, thank You for the calling to teach and disciple. Remind us that our work has eternal value. Help us to teach with wisdom, lead with love, and serve with humility. Give us strength when we feel weak, and help us see each student as someone you deeply love. Empower us to be faithful in our calling. In Jesus’ name, amen.
