Yes! Very special.
They... like all of God's elect whom He's been calling, since Abel... shall each [including the replacement for Judas - Acts 1:26] inherit positions of authority over the nations on earth.
"To him who overcomes and does My will to the end, I WILL GIVE AUTHORITY OVER THE NATIONS -- He will rule them with an iron scepter..." (Rev.2:26-27 NIV)
Specifically, these twelve elect of Christ shall be "kings," ruling over the twelve tribes [the nations] of Israel in God's Kingdom:
"Jesus said to them, 'I tell you the Truth, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on His Glorious Throne, you who have followed Me WILL ALSO SIT ON TWELVE THRONES, JUDGING THE TWELVE TRIBES OF ISRAEL." (Matt.19:28 NIV)
The god of this world has marginalized and spiritualized away in the hearts and minds of men, the "Truth" and "Reality" of God's Word... and transformed it into "beliefs of fools," myths and lies.
But, there it is in God's Word... clearly recorded for anyone to "believe"... if they so choose.

What is the importance of descipleship?
Descipleship does not only have spiritual meanings. It means a follower, or one who is totally devoted to the one he serves. Jesus commands his desciples many times in the gospels to heed His words (listen carefully and practice what He says), because soon He would depart from Earth and return to Heaven to sit at His Father's right hand. In John 14:15, Jesus commissions His desciples to spread the gospel to every living thing. The purpose of descipleship in the Bible was to finish the work Jesus began on Earth. He has called all Christians to be His desciples (more info on becoming a Christian: John 3:16, Romans 3:23, Romans 6:23, Romans 5:8). Descipleship is a gift from God, and is one that all believers are charged with. We are also commanded to "make desciples". This is yet another command, that we, once we (spiritually) become adults, must in turn make desciples, to continue Jesus' work when we are gone.
