1 00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:05,880 Who is this a Fisdom Bible church? 2 00:00:06,520 --> 00:00:10,400 The Church of a distant Christian narration? 3 00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:17,680 The Holy Spirit is yet to quit us from the topic Strategies for 4 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:24,280 church groups. Last week we set our mind to 5 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:32,560 identify 10 basic strategies on how to achieve comprehensive 6 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:39,440 church groups and we were apartment to discuss the place 7 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:48,120 of impactive pulpit ministry as #1 the place of impactive pulpit 8 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:58,280 ministry #2 the place of effective prayer ministry #4 We 9 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:04,400 also mention conducive atmosphere for the Holy Spirit 10 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:11,720 to superintend, the place of creating a conducive atmosphere 11 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:20,120 for the Holy Spirit to pretend. Then we from there discourse 12 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:28,400 intentional involvement of the youth and we itemize how Jesus, 13 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:35,240 I mean how opposed to Paul in particular, was helped greatly 14 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:42,400 to drive church groups by intentional involvement of young 15 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:47,880 persons. And then we examine strategic 16 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:54,560 engagement of the women. Now, meanwhile, after that 17 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:59,320 discussion during the interactive session, my 18 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:03,760 attention was drawn to the fact that we should bring up also the 19 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:09,400 pivotal rule of the men for discussion so that the men will 20 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:16,120 not erroneously assumed assume the position of just onlookers. 21 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:22,800 And that will now bring our point of discussion to a level. 22 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:27,400 But we're going to push that one to the last to be discourse. 23 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:31,200 If we have the opportunity, we do it today or it will come up 24 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,760 as another session. So let's continue from where we 25 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:40,920 stopped last week to 1st cover the balance of the 10 strategies 26 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:49,200 we initially said to address. So number six, for church groups 27 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:55,440 to be effective and more importantly to be 21st century 28 00:02:55,440 --> 00:03:00,520 compliant, the place of technical involvement of 29 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:04,440 professionals should be taken seriously too. 30 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:09,800 The place of technical involvement of professionals. 31 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:18,440 I read Exodus 31 as ancient as the days of the Israelites in 32 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:24,040 the wilderness. OK, since that time, no, the 33 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:31,320 place of technical involvement of professional has always been 34 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,920 in focus. Praise the name of the Lord. 35 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:40,080 So if as far back as the days of the wilderness we should be 36 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:45,640 considered as primitive error, the technical people 37 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:54,520 deliberately or intentionally being factored by God OK into 38 00:03:54,560 --> 00:04:01,600 his work, We will much more require the their involvement in 39 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:07,040 the 21st century. Exodus chapter 31 and the law 40 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:14,600 speak unto Moses, saying, see, I have called by name Bezalim, the 41 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:19,200 son of Europe, the son of Europe of the tribe of Judah. 42 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:25,520 I have called by name, called for what purpose, OK, called to 43 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:31,160 perform what function, And I have filled him with the Spirit 44 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:37,800 of God in wisdom and in understanding and in knowledge, 45 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,040 and in all manner of workmanship. 46 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:48,920 So for workmanship, a man had a calling from God, and to carry 47 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:53,400 out that workmanship, it was filled with the Spirit of God. 48 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:59,680 Praise the name of the Lord. So to devise Corning words, 49 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:05,120 anointing to construct the Tabernacle, anointing for 50 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,720 construction. Are you saying what I'm saying? 51 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:18,320 To work in good, and in silver, and in brass, and in cutting of 52 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:22,480 stones to set them, and in cavern of timber. 53 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,560 To work in all manner of Workman. 54 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,920 See. And I build. 55 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:34,520 I have given with him a who layer the son of Isa Mark of the 56 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,560 tribe of Dan. And in the heart of all that are 57 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:44,640 wise hearted I have put wisdom that they may make all that I 58 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,960 have commanded thee. So there are two dimensions to 59 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,920 the ministry of Moses, the spiritual aspect of it that he 60 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:57,680 will settle on the Monday, and the technical side of it, for 61 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:02,560 which he must have professionals around him to carry out the 62 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:07,040 vision. So the pattern was shown to 63 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:11,480 Moses, so he has responsibility now to communicate it to the 64 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:16,080 professionals. But before he will communicate 65 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:20,680 it to them, God himself has gone ahead of him to speak to the 66 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:25,160 professional. OK, who had a leader called 67 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,640 Basalin to God gave him a calling. 68 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,200 Not a calling to go to the warfront like Joshua. 69 00:06:33,280 --> 00:06:39,640 Not a calling to become a priest like Hero, not a calling to go 70 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:44,120 with Moses to the mountain, but a calling to construct the 71 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:50,280 Tabernacle. So there is always the technical 72 00:06:50,280 --> 00:06:55,400 side to ministry. OK, as way back as in the days 73 00:06:55,400 --> 00:07:03,360 of Israelites in the wilderness. So if it if technical 74 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,640 involvement of professional was that serious as far back as 75 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:12,040 those days, imagine how serious it has now become in the 21st 76 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:18,600 century. So Besalel had that ministry of 77 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:26,600 contributing skill to ensure that the worship of God was done 78 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:31,320 properly in the wilderness. So that Besalel kind of ministry 79 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:36,440 of contributing skill to promote the gospel is much more now 80 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:44,160 desirable in the 24th century. So there's a place for your ICT 81 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:49,560 skill in ministry. Hello, there's a place for your 82 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:54,440 wealth ICT skill in ministry, your engineering skill in 83 00:07:54,440 --> 00:08:00,320 ministry, your musical skill in ministry, your administrative 84 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:12,160 skill in ministry all are needed to create a better atmosphere, a 85 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:16,960 conducive atmosphere and attractive atmosphere for 86 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:22,040 worship, and to also generate initiative that we enhance 87 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,960 church growth. Praise the name of the law to 88 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:30,320 generate initiative that we enhance church growth. 89 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:35,600 The number of people that are listening to our messages online 90 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:40,600 globally are far more than the number of people that sit down 91 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:44,520 here Sunday after Sunday to listen to us Praise the name of 92 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:48,520 the Lord. This is made possible through 93 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:53,360 the skillful hands of the professionals that I had in our 94 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,600 media. Praise the name of the Lord. 95 00:08:56,040 --> 00:09:02,920 I was at a political meeting yesterday and as I stepped my 96 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:09,800 feet in the all the MC who happens to be a Muslim. 97 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:16,640 OK As soon as I entered the all, Pastor Akilo Say was with me. 98 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:22,640 As soon as I entered the all the man started to welcome me to the 99 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:27,240 meeting and he was saying I listen to Reverend Power no 100 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:33,560 messages online the same way I listen to our Islamic clerics 101 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:38,200 praise the name of the Lord. Now he you won't come here to 102 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:42,920 sit down to come and listen to me, but right in his bedroom by 103 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:48,360 the skilfulness of our media people, the technical 104 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:58,640 involvement of their ICT know how OK we are everywhere on the 105 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:03,680 social media beyond our immediate vicinity. 106 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:08,520 Now to construct this worship place, OK, technical people are 107 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:13,080 are involved. This building that we have OK 108 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,760 with all the complexity that comes into the expansion is 109 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,000 still standing very, very strong. 110 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:24,320 If we are not involved, the technicality of professionals, 111 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:29,400 OK, per adventure, we may have issues and a lot of 112 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:33,240 constructions are going on today, church buildings that are 113 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:37,880 collapsing the same way other structures are collapsing in the 114 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,200 in the country. If it's happening in other 115 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,400 sectors, it should not happen in the church because God has 116 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:47,560 factor it into the work of ministry that we should carry 117 00:10:47,560 --> 00:10:50,520 the professionals along. Am I talking to somebody? 118 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,080 We should carry the professionals along. 119 00:10:53,560 --> 00:10:57,640 I have given you Bezel. I have called him, I have 120 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,440 inspired him. I have given him skill for 121 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,280 workmanship. Praise the name of the Lord. 122 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:09,160 So professionals also have their own place in the work of 123 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,400 ministry. And as the work expand, more and 124 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:18,120 more hands will be needed. So the men needed for church 125 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:24,280 growth are not just are not only those who we go on television to 126 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:28,800 preach, those who go from street to St. to preach will also need 127 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:34,120 the technicality of those that are versatile. 128 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:38,520 OK, in bringing technology to bear in the advancement of the 129 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,840 gospel, can we move on? Can we move on? 130 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:48,680 Another strategy is that there must be versatility of the 131 00:11:48,680 --> 00:11:50,960 delivery approach of our message. 132 00:11:52,040 --> 00:12:02,600 There must be versatility to the delivery method that we adopt to 133 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:07,080 deliver the message. If you look at the ministry of 134 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:13,800 our Lord Jesus Christ, he was the one message man, the message 135 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,360 of the Kingdom. But Jesus was never A1 Method 136 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:24,640 Man. You hear that Jesus was A1 137 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:28,080 message man, the message of the Kingdom. 138 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:35,200 So His message was consistent, OK, but his style of delivery 139 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:41,640 was not just one method. So in the same way, if there 140 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:46,640 will be groups in the church, OK, we should learn how to 141 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:54,680 package our one message of Christ, OK in ways that will be 142 00:12:54,680 --> 00:12:59,040 appropriate to our different audiences. 143 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:06,880 I might talk it to somebody. So Jesus was A1 message man, but 144 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,840 it wasn't A1 Method Man. We should make our message 145 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:14,240 consistent, but our method dynamic. 146 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,840 The method of delivery should be dynamic. 147 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:23,120 There must be versatility. Jesus, you'll find Jesus on 148 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:29,360 one-on-one evangelism pattern with the woman at the well at 149 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:34,160 Saika goes back on to Saint John chapter 4, one-on-one. 150 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:40,520 The same Jesus speaking to a crowd OK on the mountain the 151 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:46,920 same Jesus by the seaside borrowing the boat of Peter OK 152 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:52,040 and standing on the boat of Peter OK because that crowd was 153 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,600 was huge. Are you with me as such a 154 00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:00,720 meeting you will not conduct it on the plane because they will 155 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:06,760 not be able to to reach the entire population. 156 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,560 If you will stay on it, you will stay on a plane. 157 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:14,040 And as at that time the technology of voice 158 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:18,640 amplification has not been invented. 159 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:24,360 And so by going to the seaside, then standing on the sea, they 160 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:32,080 wave of the ocean of the sea, we amplify his voice, the wind, we 161 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:36,080 amplify his voice, so you'll be able to reach more people. 162 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:42,040 So going by the seaside and then standing in the boat on the sea 163 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:47,720 while the other people are standing on the shore, this 164 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,800 highly technical, praise the name of the Lord so that he will 165 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:56,520 be able to reach the larger audience. 166 00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,840 So in that place you saw him do a preaching. 167 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,920 Then he will now go again and carry some people to the amount 168 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:07,200 of beatitude. And at the amount of beatitude, 169 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:12,600 rather than preach, he started to teach praise the name of the 170 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,320 Lord. Now this, this, this same Jesus 171 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:20,240 will go into the temple and right in the temple he will 172 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:24,120 perform miracle. He will teach. 173 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,920 Of course, it started from the temple, but he didn't say 174 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,960 because it was welcome in the temple in is it Luke chapter 4 175 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,880 where the book was given to him and he announced his calling and 176 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,720 so on and so forth. And then I say perpetually all 177 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:44,600 the time you want to minister to the people and we ask the people 178 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,800 to gather and come and meet him in the temple. 179 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:54,040 So he adopted different method to ensure that this one message 180 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,800 reach all sectors praise the name of the Lord. 181 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:03,840 Soon we can embrace aggressive conventional evangelism methods 182 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:08,760 such as Cruces, but which also not neglect specialized 183 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:15,720 ministries such as drama, television, use of social media, 184 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:21,240 OK, including sports. Then establishment of 185 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,080 institutions for the purpose of discipleships. 186 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,680 So when we for the purpose of discipleship, so when we go into 187 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:31,120 establishing schools, it should not be for the money, it should 188 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:36,040 be for the fact that we will use it to preserve our faith and 189 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,040 promote the faith. Praise the name of the Lord. 190 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:46,840 Can we move on #8 pragmatic social weather program, 191 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:52,160 pragmatic social welfare programs. 192 00:16:54,960 --> 00:17:05,280 The Church in Acts Chapter 6 factored welfare program into 193 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:09,000 whatever they were they do. It wanted to bring issue, but it 194 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,440 did say because this thing is very good issue, let us cancel 195 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:12,640 it. It was not cancelled. 196 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:19,480 Rather, they look at the way to do it better to improve on the 197 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,400 management of the process rather than cancel it. 198 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:26,400 So pragmatic social welfare program where the church must be 199 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:31,360 addressing the issue of poverty, the issue of hunger and other 200 00:17:32,120 --> 00:17:36,320 money related challenges. Praise the name of the Lord. 201 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:43,680 OK through empowerment. OK, not just in terms of, you 202 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:51,200 know, dashing out gifts, but also in terms of workshops that 203 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:55,920 we make the people to pursue self-reliance as we do here. 204 00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:00,080 Praise the name of the Lord, praise the name of the Lord. 205 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:04,120 So we saw Jesus feeding the hungry. 206 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:09,760 The early church were breaking bread from house to house and 207 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,560 doing distribution to the widows. 208 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:19,200 All of this OK for the purpose of pragmatic social welfare 209 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:27,120 program to make it part of the church system and all to the 210 00:18:27,120 --> 00:18:32,520 intent of achieving church growth and propagation of the 211 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:42,040 gospel #9 effective conflict resolution mechanism. 212 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:47,920 Effective conflict resolution mechanism. 213 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,880 The church is a spiritual institution, but it is 214 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,880 considered by human beings, not robots. 215 00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:00,000 Hello. The church is a spiritual 216 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,880 institution. It's situation made-up of human 217 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,640 beings that are different level of spiritual maturity. 218 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:13,640 So therefore conflicts, misunderstanding, offenses, OK, 219 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:22,560 cannot be taken out, but it must be minimized and well managed. 220 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:29,520 Praise the name of the Lord. So the Church, I said, is a 221 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:33,120 spiritual institution, but this spiritual institution is not 222 00:19:33,120 --> 00:19:38,240 made-up of robots that can be teleguided by remote control and 223 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,960 made to behave in a particular pattern. 224 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:47,520 What brother A we take calmly, Brother B can take it violently. 225 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:54,960 Am I talking to somebody? What Brother A we see and look 226 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,120 away. The brother, another brother, 227 00:19:57,120 --> 00:20:02,480 will make issues out of it. We preach that as much as 228 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,200 possible. We ask ourselves in every 229 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,720 situation, what will Christ do and behave like Christ? 230 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:13,280 But we are still growing. So you just discover that one 231 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,200 way or the other, the flesh will filter out. 232 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,040 The flesh will always want to raise its ugly head. 233 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,640 The flesh is always in contention with the Spirit. 234 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:28,720 So our objective and obligation is to see how to modify the 235 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,240 deeds of the flesh by the Spirit. 236 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:39,080 But if eventually, occasionally the flesh is manifesting, the 237 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:45,200 church must have an effective conflict resolution platform. 238 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:52,560 So more so, not only that we are different levels of maturity, we 239 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:57,400 are also coming together from diverse backgrounds, diverse 240 00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:02,160 background. Some are coming from the peace 241 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,320 out background, some are coming from the affluent background. 242 00:21:07,120 --> 00:21:12,320 We are coming together from different parts of the nation, 243 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:17,120 different tongues and culture. OK, but when we come to the 244 00:21:17,120 --> 00:21:19,640 household of God, we become one family. 245 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:25,040 And so we must all work together to breaking the barriers, 246 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:34,440 breaking words, the barriers that it may be one food, one 247 00:21:35,120 --> 00:21:40,240 shepherd, working together in the unity of the Spirit. 248 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:46,160 So conflict is inevitable, but with proper conflicts, the 249 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:50,560 social mechanism in place, no conflicts in the church is all 250 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:58,520 resolvable. So Aqua Catharino Church and so 251 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:03,000 people are so Canon that they will fight with your brother and 252 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,960 you want to resolve it. While all I want to parry every 253 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:09,640 is not a place to resolve conflict once you carry grudges 254 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,160 to heaven. OK, you already know your 255 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,800 address on the other side. Your address is Hellfire. 256 00:22:17,120 --> 00:22:21,240 Praise the name of the Lord. Praise the name of the Lord. 257 00:22:22,360 --> 00:22:25,920 So do I allow conflict to set the church back. 258 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:31,480 So let there be resolution of conflict so that we can grow 259 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:42,040 together #10 unity of faiths, unity of faiths, and 260 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:46,120 collaborative approach in the manifestation of the gifts of 261 00:22:46,120 --> 00:22:51,320 the Holy Spirit.

We are not here to compete. 263 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,400 We are here to complement each other. 264 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:04,640 We are not here to compete, so gifts must not compete. 265 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:12,600 Don't let us storm the church to the Corinthian church where all 266 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,920 they do with spiritual gift is to use it to create problem. 267 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:26,160 But here let us give ourselves to the Holy Spirit to help us to 268 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:31,840 complement each other. So let's give collaborative 269 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:37,880 approach to the manifestation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit and 270 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,440 the administration of the various ministry offices, 271 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:52,760 including units.

Hello. 292 00:25:43,360 --> 00:25:49,080 So any responsible man therefore should know that the male gender 293 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:53,440 man has the greatest responsibility in Kingdom 294 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:57,960 affairs. The way God designed it from the 295 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:03,600 beginning. The female gender man called 296 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:11,080 woman was designed to provide support. 297 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:18,120 Hello was designed to do what to provide support. 298 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:31,560 So when you profile the works of creation and the sequence by 299 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:39,360 which Adam was given assignment, you will discover that the 300 00:26:39,360 --> 00:26:45,280 responsibility to keep and to dress the Garden of Eden was 301 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:49,360 given to the man before the woman was created out of him to 302 00:26:49,360 --> 00:26:52,400 assist him. Hello. 303 00:26:55,440 --> 00:27:02,760 So the assignment to keep the garden and dress the garden came 304 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:09,480 before the woman was taken out of the man. 305 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:18,480 Let's read Genesis chapter 2. We're going to John Priest 306 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:23,160 because of time. Genesis chapter 2 verse seven, 307 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:28,520 are we there? And the Lord God for man of the 308 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:32,920 doors of the ground and bred into his nose tree the breath of 309 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:37,800 life. A man became a living soul and 310 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:41,560 Lord God planted the garden eastward in Eden and yeah, he 311 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:45,120 put the man where he had from where was the woman at this 312 00:27:45,120 --> 00:27:52,440 point the woman has not arrived. So from there, every man should 313 00:27:52,440 --> 00:28:01,480 know that he has the greatest responsibility in Kingdom 314 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,560 affairs starting from his family affair. 315 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:14,520 So the man should always take the lead for the woman to 316 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:24,720 follow. And the Lord God, verse 15. 317 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:28,800 Now we jump to verse 15.

She has not arrived versus T and 320 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:46,320 the Lord God commanded the man saying of every three of the 321 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:51,000 garden, thou mayest freely eat. When God was serving the 322 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:56,080 instruction on how to relate with the components of the 323 00:28:56,080 --> 00:29:01,000 garden OK, including what to eat, what not to eat, The woman 324 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:07,600 was still in the dream of God.

So whereas it was Eve that 406 00:36:44,410 --> 00:36:47,370 suggested to Adam to heed the forbidden fruit in the garden, 407 00:36:49,240 --> 00:36:53,280 but when God came in, when God stepped in to call for 408 00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:56,440 accountability, it was unto Hidam. 409 00:36:56,680 --> 00:37:03,600 He first directed his call. Genesis chapter 3 from verse 410 00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:06,280 one. Now the serpent was more subtle 411 00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:09,280 than any piece of the feed with the Lord God had made. 412 00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:12,840 And he said unto the woman, Ye And God said, Ye shall know it 413 00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:15,240 of the of every tree of the garden. 414 00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:18,560 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit 415 00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:21,600 of the tree of the garden, but of the fruit of the free, which 416 00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:25,080 is the means of the garden, God has said, Ye shall not eat of 417 00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:27,680 it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. 418 00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:31,680 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die, 419 00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:35,960 for God don't know that in the day ye they are all there. 420 00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:39,320 Your eyes shall be hoping, and ye shall be God, knowing good 421 00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:41,400 and evil.

Hello, are we together? 438 00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:38,440 That is why outside the Christian family, outside the 439 00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:41,400 household of God, OK or coming generally. 440 00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:59,480 Water corsi muni water corsi. And the eyes of them both were 441 00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:02,720 open and they knew that they were naked and they see figures 442 00:41:02,720 --> 00:41:06,760 together and made them serve aprons. 443 00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:11,800 And they had the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden 444 00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:15,920 in the cool of the day. And Adam and his wife E 445 00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:19,440 themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the tree of 446 00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:22,640 the garden. Now verse 9 is the emphasis. 447 00:41:23,240 --> 00:41:32,640 And the Lord go call unto Adam. He didn't call unto Eve. 448 00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:42,760 Hello Adam only accountability officer not Eve. 449 00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:47,800 So if if we be called to question and even the devil 450 00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:55,640 adapt to Zule OK, if he will be called to question Adam was 451 00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:58,600 forced commander come for his negligence. 452 00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:05,040 AM I talking to somebody and the Lord God called on to Adam and 453 00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:09,960 said to him we are thou we are thou. 454 00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:13,960 Now it's not about location, it's about are you standing in 455 00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:17,240 your office? It's about are you being man 456 00:42:17,240 --> 00:42:19,880 enough? It's about are you dependable? 457 00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:26,040 It's about can can can I give you an assignment and go to bed? 458 00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:43,960 Am I talking to somebody? We are now 459 00:42:54,730 --> 00:43:11,990 then, that goes to Judges, the war that Deborah laid against 460 00:43:11,990 --> 00:43:14,270 the Philistine in Judges Chapter 4. 461 00:43:16,790 --> 00:43:21,280 It was Deborah that led that war, that word that freed the 462 00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:23,360 Israelites from the oppression of Philistine. 463 00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:30,800 But when we came to the book of Hebrew, Hebrew Chapter 11, it 464 00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:37,720 was General Barack that was recognized among the heroes of 465 00:43:37,720 --> 00:43:40,960 faith. Now this is the balance to the 466 00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:49,400 life of Adam and the life of the life of Barack. 467 00:43:50,720 --> 00:43:54,320 Praise the name of the Lord. Now when God does not design it 468 00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:59,320 in such a way that when human have capacity, you disallow her. 469 00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:05,280 God did not design it in such a way that where a woman have 470 00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,360 capacity. OK, you don't give our 471 00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:14,600 responsibility. So in Judges chapter 4 there was 472 00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:20,640 a serious situation and the only person for that moment that has 473 00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:28,600 put the of the office physically and the anointing spiritually to 474 00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:37,010 contend the issue was a woman. Am I talking to somebody? 475 00:44:39,570 --> 00:44:46,970 Judges chapter 4 and Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidos. 476 00:44:47,370 --> 00:44:53,560 See George Israel at that time, and she dwelt under the palm 477 00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:57,480 tree of Deborah between Rama and Bethel in Mount Ibrahim. 478 00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:01,240 And the children of Israel came up to her for judgement. 479 00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:08,400 And she sent and called Barack, who was the army general, the 480 00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:12,920 son of ABI Noham, out of Kades Naftali, and said unto him, I've 481 00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:15,600 not a lot. Goddess recommended saying, Go 482 00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:19,800 and draw towards Montabo and take with thee 10,000 men of the 483 00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:22,520 children of Naftali and of the children of Sebulum. 484 00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:29,280 And I will draw unto thee to deliver Kison Sisera, the 485 00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:33,200 captain of Jabin's army, with his childhood and his multitude, 486 00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:35,880 and I would deliver him into the hand. 487 00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:43,480 Now verse 8 And Barack said unto her, If that will go with me, 488 00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:50,120 then I will go. He understood the principle from 489 00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:54,240 the beginning, that a man may have the assignment, but to 490 00:45:54,240 --> 00:45:56,880 succeed he needs the supportive woman. 491 00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:03,560 Am I talking to somebody? A man may have your primary 492 00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,760 responsibility, but for him to carry out that responsibility 493 00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:12,720 successfully, the support of a woman cannot be over emphasized. 494 00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:17,160 You don't say because you are the male gender man. 495 00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:22,600 You now look down on the female gender man as if they are good 496 00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:27,560 for nothing. Let a woman say I am good for 497 00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:30,280 something big. I can't hear you. 498 00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:37,960 So Barack understood that God gave man the assignment from the 499 00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:41,000 beginning, but it was God is rather to observe that this man, 500 00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:46,400 no, he can't go on all alone. Let me create a woman suitable. 501 00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:50,680 And Barack said if that will go with me, then I will go, but if 502 00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:54,160 that will not go with me, then I will not go. 503 00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:01,760 A lot of men are not achieving today because they are going 504 00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:05,000 alone. They don't embrace the wisdom of 505 00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:13,000 God to carry their wives alone. Many will have moved further 506 00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:16,880 than where they are if they have learned the wisdom of God to 507 00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:23,000 carry their wives alone. And they say, I will surely go 508 00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:28,560 with thee, notwithstanding they turn it, that thou taker shall 509 00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:32,640 not be for thy honour. For the Lords are set to the 510 00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:36,600 hand of a woman, and Deborah arroz away with Barack to 511 00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:39,800 cadets. So Barack was of the opinion 512 00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:45,840 that once we win the victory and glory goes to God, whoever takes 513 00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:50,920 the credit does not matter. Are you with me? 514 00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:59,960 Then we come to Hebrew in the New Testament in the Hall of 515 00:47:59,960 --> 00:48:02,800 Fame. We are heroes of faith. 516 00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:07,760 While listed verse 32 of every 11. 517 00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:12,000 And what shall I what? What shall I most say? 518 00:48:12,720 --> 00:48:19,080 For the time will fill me to tell of Gideon, the man who 519 00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:23,520 fought without a woman involvement. 520 00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:32,680 Praise the name of the Lord and of Barrack, a man you will want 521 00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:37,240 to judge as a weak man who said he won't go except a woman 522 00:48:37,240 --> 00:48:41,960 following him. Yet he was categorized among the 523 00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:47,160 heroes of faith in the class of video and of something. 524 00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:55,360 Are we together? The important thing is that you 525 00:48:55,360 --> 00:49:00,840 succeed, OK, if you know that your woman have capacity, give 526 00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:09,840 her room, give her what room, utilize our suggestion, 527 00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:26,340 cooperate with her and of Jeff, you also know Jeff 528 00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:34,960 the one that was rejected and eventually he became the mighty 529 00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:43,200 man that God used to deliver his people from oppression there of 530 00:49:43,240 --> 00:49:46,200 David. He might be a barrack in the 531 00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:53,720 class of David as far as God estimation is concerned, a man 532 00:49:53,720 --> 00:49:57,840 that he would naturally want to judge as if the man that a woman 533 00:49:57,840 --> 00:50:01,000 asked him to go to war. He said he wouldn't go accept a 534 00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:05,680 woman go with you. So God was teaching a lesson 535 00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:10,760 there are we together. God was teaching what a lesson. 536 00:50:16,410 --> 00:50:19,810 So take your woman input and appreciate her. 537 00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:33,360 Then somewhere the prophet that the scripture wrote that nothing 538 00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:38,200 that he said fell to the ground. You find a barrack in the 539 00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:43,040 armies, interestingly, go and read that place over and over 540 00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:45,400 and over and over again. OK, you won't. 541 00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:48,880 You won't find Deborah. Mention in every level. 542 00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:57,080 If there's a mention of eyes go to be a failed one that was not 543 00:50:57,080 --> 00:51:03,280 specific to her.

So the Spirit of God was 547 00:51:21,270 --> 00:51:22,870 actually teaching something here. 548 00:51:23,870 --> 00:51:27,270 OK, that a woman should be enough, should go humble enough, 549 00:51:27,510 --> 00:51:32,070 OK to allow her husband to take the credit. 550 00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:45,400 OK for our sacrifice.

When Jesus came he had 12 558 00:52:31,900 --> 00:52:34,140 disciples. They were all men. 559 00:52:34,860 --> 00:52:38,320 So where do you get the idea that spirituality is a 560 00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:46,450 speciality for women? You told your wife to a prayer 561 00:52:46,450 --> 00:52:53,050 contractor, hello, you generate prayer point, I give to her. 562 00:52:53,050 --> 00:52:55,890 You are not praying at all either for yourself, for your 563 00:52:55,890 --> 00:53:01,490 children, even for her. Like you get that idea from. 564 00:53:02,730 --> 00:53:06,010 So when Jesus came here, 12 disciples, they were all men 565 00:53:06,530 --> 00:53:10,090 supported by women. We discussed that last Sunday. 566 00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:15,280 Susanna, Johanna. They were there supporting the 567 00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:33,290 men. They really need their place to 568 00:53:33,330 --> 00:53:39,130 the women. Am I talking to somebody? 569 00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:50,880 The first set of decades that were appointed in the Bible, 570 00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:53,240 Acts chapter 6. We keep on coming back to that 571 00:53:53,240 --> 00:53:54,680 scripture. Acts chapter 6. 572 00:53:55,160 --> 00:53:57,680 In the last 14 Sundays we have started the discussion. 573 00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:01,000 We keep on coming back to that scripture. 574 00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:04,080 The first several decades that were appointed were all men. 575 00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:07,840 It was later that women like Fabian were listed. 576 00:54:09,720 --> 00:54:13,520 So where do you come about that idea that spirituality is a 577 00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:17,320 speciality that must be reserved for women? 578 00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:24,680 We are supposed to be the one that will drive them there. 579 00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:29,080 We are supposed to be the one that we know, listing them up so 580 00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:37,480 that they are proud. So your wife will attend Sunday 581 00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:41,880 school, OK, You will come into the middle. 582 00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:43,920 You will come in into the middle of the service. 583 00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:51,680 Spiritual and seriousness that we eventually have a grief 584 00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:53,560 destiny consequence in the future. 585 00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:57,360 Hey, Bombay, your partner, another woman. 586 00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:01,720 Am I talking to somebody, Bombay? 587 00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:04,680 And some of these errors are mistakes. 588 00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:08,160 They are mistakes that are hardly redeemable. 589 00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:14,320 I want city Obama, I call it operation. 590 00:55:14,320 --> 00:55:25,850 But the dodo is God talking to somebody. 591 00:55:26,650 --> 00:55:29,810 Will you sit up? Tell yourself I will sit up. 592 00:55:31,930 --> 00:55:33,770 I will not joke with my responsibility. 593 00:55:40,930 --> 00:55:45,320 So all said and done, for church growth to be effective, the role 594 00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:49,720 of visionary men provided purposeful leadership, cannot be 595 00:55:49,720 --> 00:55:55,640 overemphasized. That's the thumbless sketch. 596 00:55:55,680 --> 00:56:00,680 That's the summary. For church crew to be effective, 597 00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:04,840 the role of visionary men provided purposeful leadership 598 00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:10,800 cannot be over ever sized. We should not be men who sit 599 00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:14,520 down to eat the bread of lads while contributing nothing. 600 00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:20,920 I played that message many years ago under the topic and the men 601 00:56:21,240 --> 00:56:28,360 sat down. I'm running a convention, 602 00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:35,240 speaking in a church today. I mean since since Wednesday or 603 00:56:35,240 --> 00:56:38,240 Thursday, since Wednesday. I'll be back there this morning. 604 00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:44,880 And the man of God there said the last time you came to the to 605 00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:49,800 my church, the message you prayed was and the man sat down. 606 00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:52,280 And that was well over a decade ago. 607 00:56:53,720 --> 00:56:57,960 And the man sat down. So if such a message is making 608 00:56:57,960 --> 00:57:02,600 great impacts in all the churches, it's going to be 609 00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:08,080 totally wrong that yeah, we can see half man sitting down eating 610 00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:11,960 the bread of lads, the bread they didn't provide for the 611 00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:19,120 lads. John, chapter 6, verse 10, and 612 00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:26,480 make the men sit down. Now there was mud grass in the 613 00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:28,880 place. So the men sat down in number 614 00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:35,400 about 5000 to provide the bread that fell. 5000 was a 615 00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:49,280 collaborative effort a woman by our prudence plan that this 616 00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:54,960 meeting we are going will be an extensive 1 and we will not 617 00:57:54,960 --> 00:58:00,200 finish a good time. After serving his child 618 00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:07,960 breakfast, put an extra in the lunch box for the child. 619 00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:15,240 And then, as Seers predicted it, the meeting was very extensive. 620 00:58:15,240 --> 00:58:17,000 The meeting didn't close in good time. 621 00:58:17,720 --> 00:58:23,720 By the time they were to round up, everyone was exhausted. 622 00:58:24,480 --> 00:58:32,000 Hungry. Jesus Tom to Philip, where do we 623 00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:36,680 get food to feed these people? Philip said it's an impossible 624 00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:38,880 task. Andrew heard about it. 625 00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:45,240 He said there's a bowl here. There has five loaves of bread 626 00:58:45,640 --> 00:58:53,680 and two fishes. And then when Jesus took that 627 00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:59,880 food from the small bowl and while by lighting you 5000 of 628 00:58:59,880 --> 00:59:06,120 them and the men sat down those 5000 which one of them lifted a 629 00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:09,920 finger to contribute not one of them. 630 00:59:12,560 --> 00:59:20,760 Hello women convention. Everybody should attend women 631 00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:28,200 convention when they say Dana, Dana, they will come with men 632 00:59:28,360 --> 00:59:35,080 organized the convention to you and the man sat down. 633 00:59:38,720 --> 00:59:48,600 So don't let us remember. We can sit down on assembly to 634 00:59:48,600 --> 00:59:52,560 hear the bread of lads while contributing nothing. 635 00:59:56,720 --> 01:00:01,000 But I should remember colloquy dealing here in many families. 636 01:00:08,960 --> 01:00:28,880 OK, and then? And the men what? 637 01:00:29,880 --> 01:00:34,400 Don't let us be men sitting down on assignment, OK? 638 01:00:35,280 --> 01:00:50,160 To want to reap from where we did not sow Only Lima. 639 01:00:59,850 --> 01:01:07,640 It was a series there close to two decades ago when I print 640 01:01:07,640 --> 01:01:11,640 this message and that man of God brought it back again. 641 01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:17,960 The second leg to the message is when men slept. 642 01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:25,840 When men do what slept, a man showed good seat. 643 01:01:26,760 --> 01:01:31,360 In every field you have categories of people play a 644 01:01:31,360 --> 01:01:34,600 different role. You have the sower, you have the 645 01:01:34,600 --> 01:01:41,000 keepers, you have dirty pass. The souac came is sold. 646 01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:46,000 But for the men, their responsibility is to watch, to 647 01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:51,360 serve as the keepers. But they slept and they created 648 01:01:51,360 --> 01:01:54,600 problem. The enemy sneaked in. 649 01:01:55,240 --> 01:01:57,160 It was when you were sleeping. Spirituality. 650 01:01:57,160 --> 01:01:59,640 The devil came and snatched your children. 651 01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:04,800 They are now in courts when men slept. 652 01:02:12,920 --> 01:02:17,560 So we should not be man who sleeps while the enemy sowed 653 01:02:17,560 --> 01:02:24,360 weed among the weeds, I say and I'm right treating it. 654 01:02:24,720 --> 01:02:32,440 Spirituality is not a speciality for women and children, rather 655 01:02:32,600 --> 01:02:37,560 it is the responsibility of all men and the father figures 656 01:02:37,560 --> 01:02:43,560 should provide the needed leadership to make their entire 657 01:02:43,560 --> 01:02:52,560 household spiritually whole. So church group therefore, as we 658 01:02:52,560 --> 01:02:58,320 draw the cotton today on the subject, is every member's 659 01:02:58,320 --> 01:03:04,440 responsibility. Church groups is every member's 660 01:03:04,720 --> 01:03:08,360 responsibility. It should not just be thrown at 661 01:03:08,640 --> 01:03:13,440 just the women or the youths or the children or the pastors 662 01:03:13,520 --> 01:03:17,760 alone, the ministers alone or the courageous alone. 663 01:03:18,280 --> 01:03:20,440 Gay. When you are saved or you are 664 01:03:20,440 --> 01:03:25,040 brought in as a member of the church, the purpose is that you 665 01:03:25,040 --> 01:03:29,400 also grow to become a minister. Am I talking to somebody? 666 01:03:29,760 --> 01:03:35,760 But to stay for years just as members contributing nothing, 667 01:03:36,440 --> 01:03:39,200 it's not good. Church growth is every member's 668 01:03:39,240 --> 01:03:44,480 responsibility. There is no room for idle 669 01:03:44,560 --> 01:03:48,920 onlookers in church. Everybody must be involved as a 670 01:03:48,960 --> 01:03:54,360 team of workers and Co liberals with God. 671 01:03:54,840 --> 01:03:59,920 God bless you. We believe you'll be blessed by 672 01:03:59,920 --> 01:04:03,800 the ministry of this message. You will do well to be the duer 673 01:04:03,800 --> 01:04:07,560 of all you've heard.
