The differences between a child and an elder are numerous, some of which are experience and knowledge made
possible by the period of time available to each of them. For a child to attain the status of and elder, he or she would need to be exposed to what the elders have gone through. In the same way, a young convert in Christ will need to be spiritually processed before he or she will become a disciple.
Calling yourself a disciple does not make you one. Self- professing disciples abound but Heaven recognized disciples are in short supply. Are you a disciple indeed? In addition, you will differentiate a believers are fed with milk, the solid truths of God's word are given to disciples. What Heaven owns disciples is truth, while it owns believers (especially new converts) milk. If God can not feed you with strong meat, you are a believer not a disciple.
"But strong meat belongs to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil" (Hebrew 5:14.
Paul's experience with the Jews was no different; there were more spiritual babes than mature Christian then. Today, there are several pastors, church founders and ministers that are not disciples. Also there are so many earthly certificated people but very few with God's approval. If you meet a disciple, he will open he or she storehouse and show you great truths that came by personal revelations from the Holy Spirit personally taught you? To what extent do you tarry in God's presence, just asking Him to give you an understanding of scriptures?
If you are not able to go beyond the surface meaning of the Bible, you are yet to be disciple. In addition to these, according to John 8:32, truth makes you free. But this takes a process. That means in order to access your freedom, as you seek God . He will gradually release the key (truth) to you in bits and pieces. You don't, however, stop on receipt of one silver of truth because there are more if you must obtain your total freedom. Breakthrough, and blessing. This tell us straightaway that God is not interested in microwave Christianity. Those who want all the answers from God all-at-a-go, may never go far in Kingdom issues. Are you prepared to seek Him until you find Him?
Seek God in all ways, try to know Him more will give you more joy and blessing. Never depends on your own knowledge and mighty but trust in God wisdom. When you know the truth, the truth will set you free, Christianity is not about going to Church but knowing what God want from you.
