Strategies of Church Growth 14 : How To Achieve Comprehensive Church Growth (B) | Rev. COS Fawenu

Who is this a Fisdom Bible church?

The Church of a distant Christian narration?

The Holy Spirit is yet to quit us from the topic Strategies for

church groups. Last week we set our mind to

identify 10 basic strategies on how to achieve comprehensive

church groups and we were apartment to discuss the place

of impactive pulpit ministry as #1 the place of impactive pulpit

ministry #2 the place of effective prayer ministry #4 We

also mention conducive atmosphere for the Holy Spirit

to superintend, the place of creating a conducive atmosphere

for the Holy Spirit to pretend. Then we from there discourse

intentional involvement of the youth and we itemize how Jesus,

I mean how opposed to Paul in particular, was helped greatly

to drive church groups by intentional involvement of young

persons. And then we examine strategic

engagement of the women. Now, meanwhile, after that

discussion during the interactive session, my

attention was drawn to the fact that we should bring up also the

pivotal rule of the men for discussion so that the men will

not erroneously assumed assume the position of just onlookers.

And that will now bring our point of discussion to a level.

But we're going to push that one to the last to be discourse.

If we have the opportunity, we do it today or it will come up

as another session. So let's continue from where we

stopped last week to 1st cover the balance of the 10 strategies

we initially said to address. So number six, for church groups

to be effective and more importantly to be 21st century

compliant, the place of technical involvement of

professionals should be taken seriously too.

The place of technical involvement of professionals.

I read Exodus 31 as ancient as the days of the Israelites in

the wilderness. OK, since that time, no, the

place of technical involvement of professional has always been

in focus. Praise the name of the Lord.

So if as far back as the days of the wilderness we should be

considered as primitive error, the technical people

deliberately or intentionally being factored by God OK into

his work, We will much more require the their involvement in

the 21st century. Exodus chapter 31 and the law

Exodus 31 · chapter mention

speak unto Moses, saying, see, I have called by name Bezalim, the

son of Europe, the son of Europe of the tribe of Judah.

I have called by name, called for what purpose, OK, called to

perform what function, And I have filled him with the Spirit

of God in wisdom and in understanding and in knowledge,

and in all manner of workmanship.

So for workmanship, a man had a calling from God, and to carry

out that workmanship, it was filled with the Spirit of God.

Praise the name of the Lord. So to devise Corning words,

anointing to construct the Tabernacle, anointing for

construction. Are you saying what I'm saying?

To work in good, and in silver, and in brass, and in cutting of

stones to set them, and in cavern of timber.

To work in all manner of Workman.

See. And I build.

I have given with him a who layer the son of Isa Mark of the

tribe of Dan. And in the heart of all that are

wise hearted I have put wisdom that they may make all that I

have commanded thee. So there are two dimensions to

the ministry of Moses, the spiritual aspect of it that he

will settle on the Monday, and the technical side of it, for

which he must have professionals around him to carry out the

vision. So the pattern was shown to

Moses, so he has responsibility now to communicate it to the

professionals. But before he will communicate

it to them, God himself has gone ahead of him to speak to the

professional. OK, who had a leader called

Basalin to God gave him a calling.

Not a calling to go to the warfront like Joshua.

Not a calling to become a priest like Hero, not a calling to go

with Moses to the mountain, but a calling to construct the

Tabernacle. So there is always the technical

side to ministry. OK, as way back as in the days

of Israelites in the wilderness. So if it if technical

involvement of professional was that serious as far back as

those days, imagine how serious it has now become in the 21st

century. So Besalel had that ministry of

contributing skill to ensure that the worship of God was done

properly in the wilderness. So that Besalel kind of ministry

of contributing skill to promote the gospel is much more now

desirable in the 24th century. So there's a place for your ICT

skill in ministry. Hello, there's a place for your

wealth ICT skill in ministry, your engineering skill in

ministry, your musical skill in ministry, your administrative

skill in ministry all are needed to create a better atmosphere, a

conducive atmosphere and attractive atmosphere for

worship, and to also generate initiative that we enhance

church growth. Praise the name of the law to

generate initiative that we enhance church growth.

The number of people that are listening to our messages online

globally are far more than the number of people that sit down

here Sunday after Sunday to listen to us Praise the name of

the Lord. This is made possible through

the skillful hands of the professionals that I had in our

media. Praise the name of the Lord.

I was at a political meeting yesterday and as I stepped my

feet in the all the MC who happens to be a Muslim.

OK As soon as I entered the all, Pastor Akilo Say was with me.

As soon as I entered the all the man started to welcome me to the

meeting and he was saying I listen to Reverend Power no

messages online the same way I listen to our Islamic clerics

praise the name of the Lord. Now he you won't come here to

sit down to come and listen to me, but right in his bedroom by

the skilfulness of our media people, the technical

involvement of their ICT know how OK we are everywhere on the

social media beyond our immediate vicinity.

Now to construct this worship place, OK, technical people are

are involved. This building that we have OK

with all the complexity that comes into the expansion is

still standing very, very strong.

If we are not involved, the technicality of professionals,

OK, per adventure, we may have issues and a lot of

constructions are going on today, church buildings that are

collapsing the same way other structures are collapsing in the

in the country. If it's happening in other

sectors, it should not happen in the church because God has

factor it into the work of ministry that we should carry

the professionals along. Am I talking to somebody?

We should carry the professionals along.

I have given you Bezel. I have called him, I have

inspired him. I have given him skill for

workmanship. Praise the name of the Lord.

So professionals also have their own place in the work of

ministry. And as the work expand, more and

more hands will be needed. So the men needed for church

growth are not just are not only those who we go on television to

preach, those who go from street to St. to preach will also need

the technicality of those that are versatile.

OK, in bringing technology to bear in the advancement of the

gospel, can we move on? Can we move on?

Another strategy is that there must be versatility of the

delivery approach of our message.

There must be versatility to the delivery method that we adopt to

deliver the message. If you look at the ministry of

our Lord Jesus Christ, he was the one message man, the message

of the Kingdom. But Jesus was never A1 Method

Man. You hear that Jesus was A1

message man, the message of the Kingdom.

So His message was consistent, OK, but his style of delivery

was not just one method. So in the same way, if there

will be groups in the church, OK, we should learn how to

package our one message of Christ, OK in ways that will be

appropriate to our different audiences.

I might talk it to somebody. So Jesus was A1 message man, but

it wasn't A1 Method Man. We should make our message

consistent, but our method dynamic.

The method of delivery should be dynamic.

There must be versatility. Jesus, you'll find Jesus on

one-on-one evangelism pattern with the woman at the well at

Saika goes back on to Saint John chapter 4, one-on-one.

John 4 · chapter mention

The same Jesus speaking to a crowd OK on the mountain the

same Jesus by the seaside borrowing the boat of Peter OK

and standing on the boat of Peter OK because that crowd was

was huge. Are you with me as such a

meeting you will not conduct it on the plane because they will

not be able to to reach the entire population.

If you will stay on it, you will stay on a plane.

And as at that time the technology of voice

amplification has not been invented.

And so by going to the seaside, then standing on the sea, they

wave of the ocean of the sea, we amplify his voice, the wind, we

amplify his voice, so you'll be able to reach more people.

So going by the seaside and then standing in the boat on the sea

while the other people are standing on the shore, this

highly technical, praise the name of the Lord so that he will

be able to reach the larger audience.

So in that place you saw him do a preaching.

Then he will now go again and carry some people to the amount

of beatitude. And at the amount of beatitude,

rather than preach, he started to teach praise the name of the

Lord. Now this, this, this same Jesus

will go into the temple and right in the temple he will

perform miracle. He will teach.

Of course, it started from the temple, but he didn't say

because it was welcome in the temple in is it Luke chapter 4

Luke 4 · chapter mention

where the book was given to him and he announced his calling and

so on and so forth. And then I say perpetually all

the time you want to minister to the people and we ask the people

to gather and come and meet him in the temple.

So he adopted different method to ensure that this one message

reach all sectors praise the name of the Lord.

Soon we can embrace aggressive conventional evangelism methods

such as Cruces, but which also not neglect specialized

ministries such as drama, television, use of social media,

OK, including sports. Then establishment of

institutions for the purpose of discipleships.

So when we for the purpose of discipleship, so when we go into

establishing schools, it should not be for the money, it should

be for the fact that we will use it to preserve our faith and

promote the faith. Praise the name of the Lord.

Can we move on #8 pragmatic social weather program,

pragmatic social welfare programs.

The Church in Acts Chapter 6 factored welfare program into

Acts 6 · chapter mention

whatever they were they do. It wanted to bring issue, but it

did say because this thing is very good issue, let us cancel

it. It was not cancelled.

Rather, they look at the way to do it better to improve on the

management of the process rather than cancel it.

So pragmatic social welfare program where the church must be

addressing the issue of poverty, the issue of hunger and other

money related challenges. Praise the name of the Lord.

OK through empowerment. OK, not just in terms of, you

know, dashing out gifts, but also in terms of workshops that

we make the people to pursue self-reliance as we do here.

Praise the name of the Lord, praise the name of the Lord.

So we saw Jesus feeding the hungry.

The early church were breaking bread from house to house and

doing distribution to the widows.

All of this OK for the purpose of pragmatic social welfare

program to make it part of the church system and all to the

intent of achieving church growth and propagation of the

gospel #9 effective conflict resolution mechanism.

Effective conflict resolution mechanism.

The church is a spiritual institution, but it is

considered by human beings, not robots.

Hello. The church is a spiritual

institution. It's situation made-up of human

beings that are different level of spiritual maturity.

So therefore conflicts, misunderstanding, offenses, OK,

cannot be taken out, but it must be minimized and well managed.

Praise the name of the Lord. So the Church, I said, is a

spiritual institution, but this spiritual institution is not

made-up of robots that can be teleguided by remote control and

made to behave in a particular pattern.

What brother A we take calmly, Brother B can take it violently.

Am I talking to somebody? What Brother A we see and look

away. The brother, another brother,

will make issues out of it. We preach that as much as

possible. We ask ourselves in every

situation, what will Christ do and behave like Christ?

But we are still growing. So you just discover that one

way or the other, the flesh will filter out.

The flesh will always want to raise its ugly head.

The flesh is always in contention with the Spirit.

So our objective and obligation is to see how to modify the

deeds of the flesh by the Spirit.

But if eventually, occasionally the flesh is manifesting, the

church must have an effective conflict resolution platform.

So more so, not only that we are different levels of maturity, we

are also coming together from diverse backgrounds, diverse

background. Some are coming from the peace

out background, some are coming from the affluent background.

We are coming together from different parts of the nation,

different tongues and culture. OK, but when we come to the

household of God, we become one family.

And so we must all work together to breaking the barriers,

breaking words, the barriers that it may be one food, one

shepherd, working together in the unity of the Spirit.

So conflict is inevitable, but with proper conflicts, the

social mechanism in place, no conflicts in the church is all

resolvable. So Aqua Catharino Church and so

people are so Canon that they will fight with your brother and

you want to resolve it. While all I want to parry every

is not a place to resolve conflict once you carry grudges

to heaven. OK, you already know your

address on the other side. Your address is Hellfire.

Praise the name of the Lord. Praise the name of the Lord.

So do I allow conflict to set the church back.

So let there be resolution of conflict so that we can grow

together #10 unity of faiths, unity of faiths, and

collaborative approach in the manifestation of the gifts of

the Holy Spirit. We are cool laborers together

with God. We are not here to compete.

We are here to complement each other.

We are not here to compete, so gifts must not compete.

Don't let us storm the church to the Corinthian church where all

they do with spiritual gift is to use it to create problem.

But here let us give ourselves to the Holy Spirit to help us to

complement each other. So let's give collaborative

approach to the manifestation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit and

the administration of the various ministry offices,

including units. All of us must be actively

involved in the work of ministry.

All of us must be actively involved in the work of

ministry. All of us must be actively

involved in the work of ministry, working together.

OK, as one man, many people coming together with one voice.

Praise the name of the Lord. Tell your neighbor we are one.

Let us behave soon, let us work together.

The Lord will help us in Jesus name now. 11th 1 coming about

from the issues that came up last week that we should address

the issue of the place of the men purposeful leadership by men

of vision our media we have to follow.

You may not have that on your slide Purposeful leadership by

men of vision. Of course, any responsible man

should know that the male gender man has the greatest

responsibility in Kingdom affair male and female.

Can you quote that scripture in Genesis created in them and when

he created them. What did you call them?

Man? Praise the name of the Lord.

So that's why I deliberately call Ma the male gender man and

woman is the female gender man. Hello.

So any responsible man therefore should know that the male gender

man has the greatest responsibility in Kingdom

affairs. The way God designed it from the

beginning. The female gender man called

woman was designed to provide support.

Hello was designed to do what to provide support.

So when you profile the works of creation and the sequence by

which Adam was given assignment, you will discover that the

responsibility to keep and to dress the Garden of Eden was

given to the man before the woman was created out of him to

assist him. Hello.

So the assignment to keep the garden and dress the garden came

before the woman was taken out of the man.

Let's read Genesis chapter 2. We're going to John Priest

Genesis 2 · chapter mention

because of time. Genesis chapter 2 verse seven,

Genesis 2 · chapter mention

are we there? And the Lord God for man of the

doors of the ground and bred into his nose tree the breath of

life. A man became a living soul and

Lord God planted the garden eastward in Eden and yeah, he

put the man where he had from where was the woman at this

point the woman has not arrived. So from there, every man should

know that he has the greatest responsibility in Kingdom

affairs starting from his family affair.

So the man should always take the lead for the woman to

follow. And the Lord God, verse 15.

Now we jump to verse 15. And the Lord God took the man

and put him into the Garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

Where was the woman? She has not arrived versus T and

the Lord God commanded the man saying of every three of the

garden, thou mayest freely eat. When God was serving the

instruction on how to relate with the components of the

garden OK, including what to eat, what not to eat, The woman

was still in the dream of God. Praise the name of the law Now

whatever the woman knew about the management of the garden was

what the man communicated to her and that was what happened to

Paul was saying that a man that is what is Onion must be able to

deal with his wife by knowledge and I keep on advocating it that

if there is one objective every man should set for himself is to

always be ahead in knowledge when it comes to the management

of your home when it comes to dealing with your wife.

Praise the name of the Lord Your wife should not be a dose call.

Are you with me? But it's your own responsibility

to ensure that you are the teacher in the house as a man

because that was the way God structure it from the beginning.

Anything that doesn't look like the beginning, the way Jesus

would respond to it, that it was not so when they brought in the

issue of divorce and they were saying Moses said Jesus answered

and said it was not so from the beginning.

You see, distortion or reconstruction is tantamount to

destruction. Hello.

But we love to embrace distortion, We love to

accommodate distortion, We love to go with distortion because

maybe we find it convenient. Well, here is again.

Distortion or reconstruction of the original pattern of God.

We always need to destruction and look at what is happening at

the home front today. Homes have been battered.

A lot of things happen in our society that's not glorify God.

Why? Because we we sit comfortably

with distortions and reconstructions.

So whatever if knew about the management of that garden were

the things that Adam communicated to her, maybe even

the exaggerations introduced into and that we must not touch

it as a guess. We must not eat out of that

particular three. OK, Maybe it was even a wrong

communication from either and the female gender man, the

female gender man, OK. If you if you handle them

maturely, OK, they also take you and follow you seriously.

But obviously of the good of of good and evil, thou shall not

eat of it, for the thou it is thereof thou shall surely die.

If was not there and what God said, it is not good.

Now look at verse 18. The one I read now is just is

verse 17. But of the two of the knowledge

of good and evil, thou shall know it of it.

For the other doubts are surely that all of those ones

completed, we now come to verse 18.

And Lagos said it is not good that the man should be alone.

I will make him an earthmate for him.

How would the woman know what to do if the man cannot

communicate? How would the woman do the right

thing if the man is not responsible?

Hello. Because both the the assignments

OK and what to do with the assignment?

How to handle the assignment was given to the man God now watch

the man doing it and he discovered that oh, he will need

help. So let me create an help meet an

help suitable form. So primarily the assignment is

of the man. So it's a huge responsibility to

be a man. It's what a lot rest on you as a

man. But how many young men, or even

all that men, married men? I see them around, OK, living as

if nothing is at stake. Am I talking to somebody?

You see the attitude in the family, you see the attitude in

the church, you see the attitude in the place of work.

I want to ask, did these people actually understand what

responsibility lies on the shoulder of a man?

It's not just about sleeping with a woman and you know,

making her produce baby. So when eventually the whole

process was messed up and God was to call them into

accountability, even though the arrow came from the woman when

God stepped into the garden, the God didn't say if if we are a

thou, it's the first person to be called to accountability was

Adam. Am I talking to somebody?

Because it was to him he gave the primary responsibility to

take charge. Young man in the house.

He said before you. Hello.

He said before you. That is far beyond Snickers.

Hello, hello. We have among you now.

Telly brother, be the man that God has made you to be.

Are you with me or convinced of being it?

Over said this over said you see another man.

Please leave the seductive the seductive way of talking to the

women. Be standing in your

communication. Talk with gravity.

Am I talking to somebody? So whereas it was Eve that

suggested to Adam to heed the forbidden fruit in the garden,

but when God came in, when God stepped in to call for

accountability, it was unto Hidam.

He first directed his call. Genesis chapter 3 from verse

Genesis 3 · chapter mention

one. Now the serpent was more subtle

than any piece of the feed with the Lord God had made.

And he said unto the woman, Ye And God said, Ye shall know it

of the of every tree of the garden.

And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit

of the tree of the garden, but of the fruit of the free, which

is the means of the garden, God has said, Ye shall not eat of

it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die,

for God don't know that in the day ye they are all there.

Your eyes shall be hoping, and ye shall be God, knowing good

and evil. And when the woman saw that the

tree was good for food and that it was pleasant to the eyes,

hello, it was good for food. Praise the name of the Lord.

Praise the name of the Lord. Leave the We want to go to item

7. We want to go to KCF.

We want to leave it to the women.

Hello, you work for the money that we used to carry them there

and my dear daughters in the house.

Any man that the same fare me come and take me to K come and

take me to ID treats. Be very careful.

Are you with me? Oh yeah, was good for food, and

it was blessed for the eyes, and it to be desired to make one

wise, she took all the food thereof and did it, and gave

also unto her husband with her, and he did it.

JA EBA some anu Alun de yehu, some anu Alun de second you

close your eyes. Hallelujah.

Am I talking to somebody? Hello, are we together?

That is why outside the Christian family, outside the

household of God, OK or coming generally.

Water corsi muni water corsi. And the eyes of them both were

open and they knew that they were naked and they see figures

together and made them serve aprons.

And they had the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden

in the cool of the day. And Adam and his wife E

themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the tree of

the garden. Now verse 9 is the emphasis.

And the Lord go call unto Adam. He didn't call unto Eve.

Hello Adam only accountability officer not Eve.

So if if we be called to question and even the devil

adapt to Zule OK, if he will be called to question Adam was

forced commander come for his negligence.

AM I talking to somebody and the Lord God called on to Adam and

said to him we are thou we are thou.

Now it's not about location, it's about are you standing in

your office? It's about are you being man

enough? It's about are you dependable?

It's about can can can I give you an assignment and go to bed?

Am I talking to somebody? We are now

then, that goes to Judges, the war that Deborah laid against

the Philistine in Judges Chapter 4.

Judges 4 · chapter mention

It was Deborah that led that war, that word that freed the

Israelites from the oppression of Philistine.

But when we came to the book of Hebrew, Hebrew Chapter 11, it

was General Barack that was recognized among the heroes of

faith. Now this is the balance to the

life of Adam and the life of the life of Barack.

Praise the name of the Lord. Now when God does not design it

in such a way that when human have capacity, you disallow her.

God did not design it in such a way that where a woman have

capacity. OK, you don't give our

responsibility. So in Judges chapter 4 there was

Judges 4 · chapter mention

a serious situation and the only person for that moment that has

put the of the office physically and the anointing spiritually to

contend the issue was a woman. Am I talking to somebody?

Judges chapter 4 and Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidos.

Judges 4 · chapter mention

See George Israel at that time, and she dwelt under the palm

tree of Deborah between Rama and Bethel in Mount Ibrahim.

And the children of Israel came up to her for judgement.

And she sent and called Barack, who was the army general, the

son of ABI Noham, out of Kades Naftali, and said unto him, I've

not a lot. Goddess recommended saying, Go

and draw towards Montabo and take with thee 10,000 men of the

children of Naftali and of the children of Sebulum.

And I will draw unto thee to deliver Kison Sisera, the

captain of Jabin's army, with his childhood and his multitude,

and I would deliver him into the hand.

Now verse 8 And Barack said unto her, If that will go with me,

then I will go. He understood the principle from

the beginning, that a man may have the assignment, but to

succeed he needs the supportive woman.

Am I talking to somebody? A man may have your primary

responsibility, but for him to carry out that responsibility

successfully, the support of a woman cannot be over emphasized.

You don't say because you are the male gender man.

You now look down on the female gender man as if they are good

for nothing. Let a woman say I am good for

something big. I can't hear you.

So Barack understood that God gave man the assignment from the

beginning, but it was God is rather to observe that this man,

no, he can't go on all alone. Let me create a woman suitable.

And Barack said if that will go with me, then I will go, but if

that will not go with me, then I will not go.

A lot of men are not achieving today because they are going

alone. They don't embrace the wisdom of

God to carry their wives alone. Many will have moved further

than where they are if they have learned the wisdom of God to

carry their wives alone. And they say, I will surely go

with thee, notwithstanding they turn it, that thou taker shall

not be for thy honour. For the Lords are set to the

hand of a woman, and Deborah arroz away with Barack to

cadets. So Barack was of the opinion

that once we win the victory and glory goes to God, whoever takes

the credit does not matter. Are you with me?

Then we come to Hebrew in the New Testament in the Hall of

Fame. We are heroes of faith.

While listed verse 32 of every 11.

And what shall I what? What shall I most say?

For the time will fill me to tell of Gideon, the man who

fought without a woman involvement.

Praise the name of the Lord and of Barrack, a man you will want

to judge as a weak man who said he won't go except a woman

following him. Yet he was categorized among the

heroes of faith in the class of video and of something.

Are we together? The important thing is that you

succeed, OK, if you know that your woman have capacity, give

her room, give her what room, utilize our suggestion,

cooperate with her and of Jeff, you also know Jeff

the one that was rejected and eventually he became the mighty

man that God used to deliver his people from oppression there of

David. He might be a barrack in the

class of David as far as God estimation is concerned, a man

that he would naturally want to judge as if the man that a woman

asked him to go to war. He said he wouldn't go accept a

woman go with you. So God was teaching a lesson

there are we together. God was teaching what a lesson.

So take your woman input and appreciate her.

Then somewhere the prophet that the scripture wrote that nothing

that he said fell to the ground. You find a barrack in the

armies, interestingly, go and read that place over and over

and over and over again. OK, you won't.

You won't find Deborah. Mention in every level.

If there's a mention of eyes go to be a failed one that was not

specific to her. Am I talking to somebody Maybe

we had to talk about many other women and of course even that's

why Bible say they were the widows who received their dead

back to life. So the Spirit of God was

actually teaching something here.

OK, that a woman should be enough, should go humble enough,

OK to allow her husband to take the credit.

OK for our sacrifice. Hello, you pay these children's

school fees, but you must announce to the whole world we

will also Hello, You must call the children.

I said I said to only when you don't say you paper sitter and

bye bye Nikki. Nikki Nazi came on and see me.

You don't do that. Are we together?

So the place of the man super voter in all of kingdoms and

family affairs. When Jesus came he had 12

disciples. They were all men.

So where do you get the idea that spirituality is a

speciality for women? You told your wife to a prayer

contractor, hello, you generate prayer point, I give to her.

You are not praying at all either for yourself, for your

children, even for her. Like you get that idea from.

So when Jesus came here, 12 disciples, they were all men

supported by women. We discussed that last Sunday.

Susanna, Johanna. They were there supporting the

men. They really need their place to

the women. Am I talking to somebody?

The first set of decades that were appointed in the Bible,

Acts chapter 6. We keep on coming back to that

Acts 6 · chapter mention

scripture. Acts chapter 6.

Acts 6 · chapter mention

In the last 14 Sundays we have started the discussion.

We keep on coming back to that scripture.

The first several decades that were appointed were all men.

It was later that women like Fabian were listed.

So where do you come about that idea that spirituality is a

speciality that must be reserved for women?

We are supposed to be the one that will drive them there.

We are supposed to be the one that we know, listing them up so

that they are proud. So your wife will attend Sunday

school, OK, You will come into the middle.

You will come in into the middle of the service.

Spiritual and seriousness that we eventually have a grief

destiny consequence in the future.

Hey, Bombay, your partner, another woman.

Am I talking to somebody, Bombay?

And some of these errors are mistakes.

They are mistakes that are hardly redeemable.

I want city Obama, I call it operation.

But the dodo is God talking to somebody.

Will you sit up? Tell yourself I will sit up.

I will not joke with my responsibility.

So all said and done, for church growth to be effective, the role

of visionary men provided purposeful leadership, cannot be

overemphasized. That's the thumbless sketch.

That's the summary. For church crew to be effective,

the role of visionary men provided purposeful leadership

cannot be over ever sized. We should not be men who sit

down to eat the bread of lads while contributing nothing.

I played that message many years ago under the topic and the men

sat down. I'm running a convention,

speaking in a church today. I mean since since Wednesday or

Thursday, since Wednesday. I'll be back there this morning.

And the man of God there said the last time you came to the to

my church, the message you prayed was and the man sat down.

And that was well over a decade ago.

And the man sat down. So if such a message is making

great impacts in all the churches, it's going to be

totally wrong that yeah, we can see half man sitting down eating

the bread of lads, the bread they didn't provide for the

lads. John, chapter 6, verse 10, and

John 6:10

make the men sit down. Now there was mud grass in the

place. So the men sat down in number

about 5000 to provide the bread that fell. 5000 was a

collaborative effort a woman by our prudence plan that this

meeting we are going will be an extensive 1 and we will not

finish a good time. After serving his child

breakfast, put an extra in the lunch box for the child.

And then, as Seers predicted it, the meeting was very extensive.

The meeting didn't close in good time.

By the time they were to round up, everyone was exhausted.

Hungry. Jesus Tom to Philip, where do we

get food to feed these people? Philip said it's an impossible

task. Andrew heard about it.

He said there's a bowl here. There has five loaves of bread

and two fishes. And then when Jesus took that

food from the small bowl and while by lighting you 5000 of

them and the men sat down those 5000 which one of them lifted a

finger to contribute not one of them.

Hello women convention. Everybody should attend women

convention when they say Dana, Dana, they will come with men

organized the convention to you and the man sat down.

So don't let us remember. We can sit down on assembly to

hear the bread of lads while contributing nothing.

But I should remember colloquy dealing here in many families.

OK, and then? And the men what?

Don't let us be men sitting down on assignment, OK?

To want to reap from where we did not sow Only Lima.

It was a series there close to two decades ago when I print

this message and that man of God brought it back again.

The second leg to the message is when men slept.

When men do what slept, a man showed good seat.

In every field you have categories of people play a

different role. You have the sower, you have the

keepers, you have dirty pass. The souac came is sold.

But for the men, their responsibility is to watch, to

serve as the keepers. But they slept and they created

problem. The enemy sneaked in.

It was when you were sleeping. Spirituality.

The devil came and snatched your children.

They are now in courts when men slept.

So we should not be man who sleeps while the enemy sowed

weed among the weeds, I say and I'm right treating it.

Spirituality is not a speciality for women and children, rather

it is the responsibility of all men and the father figures

should provide the needed leadership to make their entire

household spiritually whole. So church group therefore, as we

draw the cotton today on the subject, is every member's

responsibility. Church groups is every member's

responsibility. It should not just be thrown at

just the women or the youths or the children or the pastors

alone, the ministers alone or the courageous alone.

Gay. When you are saved or you are

brought in as a member of the church, the purpose is that you

also grow to become a minister. Am I talking to somebody?

But to stay for years just as members contributing nothing,

it's not good. Church growth is every member's

responsibility. There is no room for idle

onlookers in church. Everybody must be involved as a

team of workers and Co liberals with God.

God bless you. We believe you'll be blessed by
