One of the wealthiest places on earth is the local cemetery, where people have left behind their wisdom, experience, insight and counsel. Too many fail to invest what they know and believe into others; instead, they carry it with them to the grave. Their treasures went into the heart of the earth rather than into the hearts of men and women. They did not make eternal investments!A great attack against the Body of Christ today is in the area of intentional disciple making. Recent statistics show that 80-90% of new believers backslide within a year of meeting Jesus. Tragically, many believers have no one to answer their questions, to teach them how to pray effectively or how to study the Bible and apply it to their lives. They have no one to invest in them personally as Jesus invested in His disciples. With the influx of new believers worldwide and with increasingly difficult times coming, we must be strategic and intentional about obeying the Lord's commission to make disciples. Many of you have walked with the Lord for years. You have learned how to avoid the potholes in life and jump the hurdles. But others have not known Him as long as you have, and they need you to invest in their lives. They need to hear your words of wisdom, your testimonies, and your victories over struggles. You have hurdled issues that they are still tripping over. Invest in the next generation of believers!
