The 3 Elements of Our Ministry

The ministry is simple; we called to pray, preach, and provide. Beyond praying and and preaching, we are called to also meet needs of the less privilegedOriginally published at highcity.org

I want to exhort you on the four elements of our ministry as priests. Many of us want to serve but we don’t know how. We want to study the elements of our ministry as priests to God. The ministry is simple; we called to pray, preach, and provide. Beyond praying and preaching, we are called to also meet the needs of the less privileged. I exhort therefore that each of us will take up the mandate to;

1. Pray:

I wish that first of all prayer supplication and intercession be made for all men and for people in authority. We must be committed to prayer; as we pray for others, our needs are met. When Job prayed for his friends his needs were met; when Abraham prayed for Abimelech, his needs were met. I believe as we commit ourselves to pray for ourselves and the world there will be a great change and healing around the world. This is the time to arise and begin to desire to see the world healed and changed.

The 3 Elements of Our Ministry

2. Testifying:

This is the second element of our ministry; to feed the flock among us and to go into the world and preach the gospel (See Matthew 28;18-20). When we seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness, all other things are added to us. Preaching, teaching, and witnessing as the key elements of ministry. Every pastor is called upon to do the work of an evangelist. I believe that you will get involved, especially in promoting the kingdom and kingdom values online. The online missions is vast but ripe. We can go in and preserve the harvest. I believe that you must strive and work hard to understand this mission and how it works but you must get involved and advance the cause of missions and ministry.

3. Giving:

The third element of ministry is providing. Beyond praying for people and preaching to them, people may need provisions. Some may need food, shelter medication, clothing, and essentials.

I pray that the Lord will help us raise the resources and understanding to carry out this mandate and ministry as a priest of God to the world. Every one of us has a part to play and to finish. I pray that God will give you the strength to press on.

I love you

4 Secrets to Power

The outpouring of the Spirit is only the first step towards power — Afterwards, you must yieldingly step out in faithfulness and minister!Originally published at highcity.org

Many of us have been wondering why we have not received the power after the Holy Ghost came upon us as promised in Acts 1:8. The answer is simple; we have taken only the first step towards power but not haven’t yet taken the subsequent steps towards power.

[Luke 4:1-2,13-15 KJV] “And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, [2] Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered.”

[13] “And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season. [14] And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about. [15] And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.”

The four simple steps to the power of the spirit are Baptism, yieldedness, faithfulness, and ministry. If you really want to walk in the corridors of power.

  1. Be baptised
  2. By yielded
  3. Be faithful
  4. Be on the go

The Bible teaches that we “shall receive power the Holy Ghost is come upon” us. The outpouring is the first step towards power. When you are baptised in the Holy Ghost, you receive the seed to power. You receive that seed that will lead to the birth of power.

The second secret is to be yielded to the Spirit. The Holy Ghost cannot empower a person who will not be yielded to His leading. Our Lord Jesus Christ was led by the Spirit, He followed the leading of the spirit, and stepped out in power. You also must be led by the Spirit if you want to walk in power.

The third secret is to be faithful. Our Lord Jesus Christ was led to the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. He was not led there to fast or pray. He was led there to be tempted. If you want superior power, then be faithful. Onto whomever you yield your members to, his slaves you are. You cannot overpower someone you serve.

[Romans 6:16 KJV] “Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?”

Finally, return and minister faithfully. Our Lord Jesus Christ returned and ministered faithfully in the temples and synagogues and markets. “He that is faithful in little shall be trusted with much”. I know that as you use the little that you have been given much shall be added to you.

You will surely walk in the corridors of power when you engage with these truths.

I love you!

Overcoming Fruitlessness in Life and in Ministry

Zachariah and Elizabeth continued in their ministry until God showed up to give them a son. Keep serving while you wait for your miracle!Originally published at highcity.org

Every one of us was created and blessed to be fruitful. We were called and chosen that we will go and bear fruits and to bear much fruit that remains, but sometimes, life does not go the way you want and you are unable to yield fruits in your strength.

In Genesis 1:26‭-‬28, we understand that God created man in His own image and likeness; and blessed us to be fruitful and multiply;

“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth”.

Being fruitful is, therefore, the norm. That is what it must be, we must bear fruits after our likeness. We ought to bear fruits in ministry and in life. We must see results and fruits in whatever we do.

In John 15:16, the Lord states very clearly that we are chosen to go and bear fruits. That is why He called us.

[John 15:16 KJV] “Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you”.

We must bear fruits, that is what He expects of us. We must be fruitful and our fruits must remain, however, sometimes, we work very hard but things still don’t work out so well, we, therefore, want to understand how to overcome fruitlessness in ministry and in life.

What is fruitlessness, what causes fruitlessness?

Fruitlessness connotes a lack of fruits, an inability to bear fruits or loss of all the fruits that were borne.

Fruitlessness may be as a result of a curse or disease in the land or womb of a person.

Others are made fruitless by the sword of Agag, either through sheer wickedness, human error, or mistake.

Fruitlessness could also be because of the lack of potency or viability in the seed. An example of this is trying to win converts with a lame message, it simply won’t work.

Many are fruitless because they are surrounded by people who are unwilling to use their gifts and abilities. A church full of people who don’t invite others or do nothing in the service will not have fruits. Similarly, an unengaging team will leave the church empty. We must be ready to engage the people in our communities and circles with the word.

Fruitlessness could be as a result of barriers to fruitfulness. Many ministries are fruitless because of the presence of spiritual contraceptives or other barriers to fruitfulness.

Fruitlessness could also be as a result of a shut Heaven. There are times when the Heavens over a mission field get shuts and the land becomes unfruitful and unable to yield fruits in its strength.

Overcoming Fruitlessness

The following keys will help you to overcome fruitlessness in ministry or in your personal life;

1. Humble yourself and pray:

The Lord said “if I shut the heaven and there is no rain, then iYou the people that are called by my name shall humble them selves and pray, I will hear from heaven and heal their lands.” Hannah received Samuel when she went to the temple to pray and made a vow to the Lord. Humbling yourself in prayer and praise brings fruits.

2. Continue serving God:

You must continue to serve and do whatever you are called to do while you wait for the timing of the Lord. Zachariah and Elizabeth continued to wait on their ministry until God showed up to give them John the Baptist. Abraham and Sarah waited patiently in faith and hope, even when it did not make sense to wait.

3. You beware of the swords of men:

Samuel said that Agag, the king of Amalek made man women childless by his sword. Many women are childless today because of the swords of Agag. Many mothers have lost children to accidents, senseless racial murders, drugs, and deadly diseases. Many lives and destinies have been destroyed because of the evil of evil men. Many wombs have been made unfruitful by quack doctors and fake medical practices, beware!

4. Believe that fruitfulness is possible:

You must be willing to believe that you have a gift, discover that gift, wait on it, and engage it for fruits.

5. Strive for your healing:

You must strive to harvest the healing miracle and remove all barriers and contraception.

I have no doubt that you are planted in a fruitful hill. Gather out the stones, fence it, build a tower, and plant choice seed. and you will overcome fruitlessness and be fruitful in ministry and life.

Stay blessed, I love you!

Don’t Fight a Ministry that is Meant to Bless You

There must arise a generation of men in every dispensation who will fight people who oppose and malign leaders and their motives.Originally published at highcity.org

[Acts 7:20-30] “In which time Moses was born, and was exceeding fair, and nourished up in his father’s house three months:
(21)  And when he was cast out, Pharaoh’s daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son”.

(22)  “And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds”.

(23)  “And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel.
(24)  And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian:”

(25)  “For he supposed his brethren would have understood how that God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not”.

(26)  “And the next day he shewed himself unto them as they strove, and would have set them at one again, saying, Sirs, ye are brethren; why do ye wrong one to another?
(27)  But he that did his neighbour wrong thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us?
(28)  Wilt thou kill me, as thou diddest the Egyptian yesterday?
(29)  Then fled Moses at this saying, and was a stranger in the land of Madian, where he begat two sons.
(30)  And when forty years were expired, there appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sina an angel of the Lord in a flame of fire in a bush”.

I believe that in every generation and time, God raises a man and ministry that can minister to the needs of the time and the people. The challenge, however, is that many end up fighting the man and ministry. There are elements in every church, family, or generation who fight the man and ministry God has prepared to help them.

We understand that God prepared and raised Moses to redeem his people, but the program delayed for 40 years because one greedy stupid fellow maligned and misrepresented the motives of Moses and his ministry. I want to exhort and warn you about allowing people who fight the ministry to be around you. There must arise a generation of men in every dispensation who will fight people who oppose and malign leaders and their motives.

Moses had no intention of becoming a lord over Israel. In fact, he was already their lord, since he was Pharaoh’s grandson. The truth is, sometimes, people incite others against a ministry that was meant to bless you because they want to feel free to fool about and be unruly. You must be smart enough to stand up and say “we will not allow you to speak to our leader or helper this way. There should come a time when we will do the rebuking.

The truth is that when the leader is accused, he cannot defend himself. When the motives of Moses was misrepresented, it weakened his convictions and testimony. There was no way Moses could defend himself because the accusation will always appear to be true.

Stay blessed; I love you!

Not all Churches are Meant to be ‘Mega-Churches’

At both the micro-church and mini-church stages the church, our Lord Jesus Christ reached and offered support to the cities and the multitudes. So, not all churches are meant to be mega-churches, yet all of us can still do mega-ministry.Originally published at highcity.org

[Luke 12:32 KJV] “Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom”.

Not all churches are meant to be mega-churches, but every micro-church can do mega-ministry.

A church is a gathering of people to reach out to people and have a fellowship with Christ, but a ministry is a service we offer to save and help the people around us.

Although all churches may not grow into mega-churches, every micro-church can do mega-ministry. It is important to remember that our Lord Jesus Christ did not have a mega-church yet He did mega-ministry. He started with 12 people, increased to 72, then to 500, of which 120 disciples were committed. These would make His “church members”. They formed the core or base of the church. These are the people who reached our to the multitudes that gathered at the crusades. Apostle Paul with 12 men reached all of the then Asia within 2 years. (See Acts 19:1-12)

In Luke 8, with 12 men and certain women, our Lord Jesus Christ reached every city and village; He then sent 72 people out to every village and town in Luke 10. The church in Luke 8 was a micro-church, and the church in Luke 10 was a mini-church; but in both cases, they were doing mega-ministry.

At both the micro-church and mini-church stages the church, our Lord Jesus Christ reached and offered support to the cities and the multitudes. So, not all churches are meant to be mega-churches, yet all of us can still do mega-ministry. We can all reach our communities and serve them.

Let me point out you that the micro-church can have a mega-ministry only in the context of faith and expectations. Trying to do mighty works by the anointing in the atmosphere of unbelief will not work. It takes faith and honour for the anointing to do mighty works.

I pray that the Lord shall drive out any spirit of fear and timidity and give us power, love, and a sound mind. I pray that we shall quit ourselves as men and rise to the occasion. Stay blessed!

I love you;

Your Hair Will Grow Again!

The enemy may be rejoicing over you. Your distractors may be having a party, but their laughter will be short lived, because your hair shall grow again.Originally published at highcity.org

[Judges 16:18-26 KJV] “And when Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, Come up this once, for he hath shewed me all his heart. Then the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and brought money in their hand. [19] And she made him sleep upon her knees; and she called for a man, and she caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head; and she began to afflict him, and his strength went from him. [20] And she said, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleep, and said, I will go out as at other times before, and shake myself. And he wist not that the Lord was departed from him.

[21] But the Philistines took him, and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of brass; and he did grind in the prison house. [22] Howbeit the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaven. [23] Then the lords of the Philistines gathered them together for to offer a great sacrifice unto Dagon their god, and to rejoice: for they said, Our god hath delivered Samson our enemy into our hand. [24] And when the people saw him, they praised their god: for they said, Our god hath delivered into our hands our enemy, and the destroyer of our country, which slew many of us. [25] And it came to pass, when their hearts were merry, that they said, Call for Samson, that he may make us sport. And they called for Samson out of the prison house; and he made them sport: and they set him between the pillars. [26] And Samson said unto the lad that held him by the hand, Suffer me that I may feel the pillars whereupon the house standeth, that I may lean upon them”.

I exhort you to tell yourself that your hair shall grow again.

Indeed, a year of 365 days is along time, and like Samson, as we carried on our lives in the past year, we may have made poor choices, trusted some wrong people, told our secrets to people with ulterior agendas. Such poor choices may have costed us many things, including;

1. Our strength:

Delilah shaved  Samson and afflicted him. How can this young lady put a man who had told him all his heart to sleep, and then shave and afflict him. Many of us trusted the wrong people and lost our strength because of the emotional and psychological torture.

2. Our touch with reality:

Samson lost touch with reality. He said, I will go out and shake myself as at other times, but he did not know that God had departed from him.

3. Our eyes:

Sense of directions, purpose, and vision. After spend 365 with pretending and evil women, some of us have lost our sense of direction and purpose.

4. Our hair:

You hair represents your connection to God and His covering of glory and power. Samson lost his hair and his connection to the anointing.

5. Our freedom:

Samson was placed in shackles and was kept in prison.

6. Our ministry and place in life:

He was once the Judge and mighty man of Israel, but now he was grinding corn.

Indeed, the enemy may be rejoicing over you. Your distractors may be having a party, but their laughter will be short lived, because your hair shall grow again.

You may have made some mistakes, and taken poor decisions  but I see your hair growing again. I see you regaining your strength. I see you being restored. You will not fail, you will rise again.

Listen, the difference between Judas and Delilah is Judas regretted his actions but Delilah felt good; but whatever be the case, your hair shall grow again. The enemy cannot win the day. Your hair shall grow again. It is growing again. Your hair growing is a natural process, but turning weakness into strength is supernatural.

Just believe that God will not leave your to the will, whims and caprices of the enemy. Just believe that God will not for ever forsake His own. Just believe. Believe that your strength is being restored. You will make it.

Be blessed; I love you!

Shining out of Obscurity

You are the light of the world; you are ignited by light to overcome your internal darkness and to stay aglow to give light to the people in your household.Originally published at highcity.org

21 Days of Breaking Limits

[Matthew 5:7,14-16 KJV] “Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. [14] Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. [15] Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. [16] Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven”.

On this 9th day of Breaking Limits, we are trusting God to receive the grace to shine out of obscurity. You will not die in obscurity. God wants to save and raise you to shine out of obscurity. You are the light of the world; you are ignited by light to overcome your internal darkness and to stay aglow to give light to the people in your household.

I prophesy to you today that you will shine. Your influence will go far. Your marriage will be a model marriage. Your business will not be behind; Your luminance will be seen from far. Many shall come to that light (See Isaiah 60).

There are 7 key things that will help you to shine out of obscurity. We work with our hands as everyone else, we marry and pay dowry as all others, buy with money in the market as all others, yet we play by different rules. We may be selling in the market as all others, yet we play by different set of rules.

If you really want to shine from obscurity, you need;

1. Jesus:

You cannot shine when you have no light in yourself. The Bible tells us that Jesus Christ is the light that ignites every man who comes to the face of the world.

Our prayer is, Father, as we arise from our sleep, let Christ give us light! Give us light, great light, that greater light!

[John 1:7‭-‬9 KJV] “The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. [9] He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world”.

Awake and give us light. Cause us to shine from within to reflect Your glory. Let every one of us begin to glow with amber and fervency!

[Ephesians 5:14 KJV] “Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light”.

2. Commitment:

Father, help me to be committed to this family of God. I know, I have believed to belong. Help me to be committed to the doctrine and fellowship of my pastor, his prayer, and the breaking of bread. Help us to be committed to the brotherhood and the fear of the Lord!

3. Connection:

Dear God, engraft me into the true vine. Uphold me with Your hand. Let me be properly added to Your church. Make me a pillar in Your house. Place me in the spiritual house You are building. I pray for the strength to stay connected to the brethren. Help me to live in such a way that will grow the brotherhood. Purge away from me any anti-social behaviour!

4. Growth:

Father, help me to give up anything that fights my growth. Feed me with sincere milk. Give me the courage to accept the truth that can cause me to grow and mature healthily. Indeed, We desire to rule as heirs, and princes, and kings.

5. Ministry:

Father open unto us doors of ministry to serve our generation. Help us to serve with fervency, diligence, and faithfulness. I receive grace to serve in secular and kingdom vocation with excellence, might and wisdom.

6. Sacrifices:

The only way a candle can shine is when it is willing to burn.

Father, give us the grace and the willing heart to give and sacrifice for the common good of humanity. Lord, as we give and sacrifice in the coming days, bless it and let our sacrifice and giving be acceptable and pleasing to You.

7. Endurance:

Many of us don’t shine out of obscurity because we don’t last. Many of us think only of the present, and not about posterity or the future. Without endurance, many of us will not shine. Many people of faith were never mentioned in the Scriptures until the tail end of their lives; consider people like Anna, Simeon, and Abraham.

Dear God, Give us grace to last; Grace to endure; Grace to overcome; May we never fail or fall short by the way!

You will shine and your influence will extent to nations and kingdoms!

Be blessed, I love you!

Transform Your Ministry

The man who stands to minister to the saints must show himself as an example; given to reading, exhortation, and doctrine; and stir up the gift in him. Originally published at highcity.org

[1 Timothy 4:12‭-‬16 KJV]

“Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee”.

Among other things, there are three key things that transform every bishoprick;

  1. To strive to be an example to the saints.
  2. To give attendance to reading, to exhortation, and to doctrine.
  3. To stir up every gift in you which you recieved when the presbytry layed hands on you.

Ministry is a mystery that cannot be joked with. The man who stands to minister to the saints must show himself as an example; given to reading, exhortation, and doctrine; and stir up the gift in him. May you never fail in your assignment in the kingdom.

May the Lord transform your ministry as you walk in this truth and revelation! Do not joke or play games with this! You will be a blessing to this generation! May the Lord take advantage of your moments to make an impact on the world. May the Lord be your helper!

Be blessed; I love you.

They Came to Hear and to be Healed!

The grace and power upon the of avaliable to us today, and we can see the same dimension of miracles Originally published at highcity.org

 Sometimes we wonder why so many miracles took place in the days of Jesus’ earthly ministry that doesnt happen now in our lives and on the same scale? Well the big difference here is our attitude towards the anointing and the word.

[fusion_text][Luke 6:17‭-‬19 KJV] “And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases; And they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed. And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all”.

In the days of Jesus Christ;

  1. He waited on God for power
  2. Those who were touched by the Lord spread the word
  3. Those who heard about Him came to Him meetings to hear and to be healed
  4. The power of God was present to heal

The same grace and power which was upon Jesus’s ministry is available today and at work in our ministry. You can tap into it and experience the same dimensions of grace and supernatural.

Prayer

In the days of Jesus Christ, He spent time in prayer and waiting on God the father for the anointing of the Spirit and power. He spent days and nights in waiting for the supernatural and enduement with power from on high.

Spreading the word

His fame was spread abroad because the company of disciples shared the message. They spread the news and told all the communities about what Jesus Christ is doing just like we are doing today and do every week in our church. Even when He told them not to tell any man, they still told everyone. They testified and His fame spread abroad. More miracles will happen when we learn to tell the story and share the goodnews.

[Luke 5:12‭-‬17 KJV] “And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold a man full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. And he put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will: be thou clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him.

And he charged him to tell no man: but go, and shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him: and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities.

And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.

And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judaea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to heal them”.

Encounter

Those who heard the message like you are hearing right now did not stay at home but they came out to hear and to be healed. They came to hear and to be healed. They did not come to have a special session with the minister; they came to have a special session with the word. When we begin to desire an encounter with the word, the miracles will begin.

Power

As the Lord taught, the power of God was present to heal. They came to hear and to be healed; indeed, He always withdrew to pray and as He preached and taught, the power of God was present to heal them. If we pay attention to the word, the power of God will be present to heal and liberate.

Come and See

I am personally inviting you to the HighCity, a city set on a hill; come! Come as they came to Jesus. They came from all of Judea and Jerusalem, and all the coast of Tyre and Sidon; you can also come from all over this region and this city. Jesus Christ will meet you at the point of your need through His word.

Your Secret to Personal Prosperity

If you truly want to prosper, you must be genuinely concerned about the work of GodOriginally published at highcity.org

“Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth. I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.” (John 4:34‭-‬38 KJV)

Read Matthew 6:33; Hebrews 6:11-12

The greatest secret to personal prosperity is to work with God and for God. Those who work in the harvest receive wages. The Lord will pay you when you commit yourself to work in the vineyard. If you truly want to prosper, you must genuinely be concerned about the work of God, and also working hard.

1. Be highcity branded: People must identify you as a christian and not just a christian but a good one from High City, shining as a light in a crooked and perverse generation. Be defined by our vision, purpose, and goals.

2. Be diligent at work: People are always seeking the opportunity to say that you are fake. We can grow this church better when we are diligent at work. May the Lord help you to work diligently in the name of Jesus Christ.

3. Take family and social responsibilities seriously: Our church will grow when we take our social and family life seriously. Be a good father, mother or spouse. Love one another and take your responsibilities seriously.

4. Set growth targets for your church planting: Set realistic growth targets. If you meet your goals, you will be inspired to reach other goals. You must have goals about growth.

5. Increase your personal invitation and contacts: Invite friends and family and neighbours. While inviting people hate their garments stained by the flesh.

6. Serve our church visitors and guest with honour: We should have time for them; pray with them before they leave.

7. Be on a mission to the community: Reach out to hurting people, people who newly moved in to your community. Reach out to kids, feed a hungry neighbour, and help the aged.

8. Intentionally pray for growth: Organise prayer and intercession for souls and revival.

Stay blessed; I love you!
