Win Souls and Make Disciples

It’s my time to open a cell group and my time to grow. I need to win souls and make disciples. That’s what Ive learned from G12′s mission and vision. Its all about being obedient to Jesus’ commission from Matthew 28:19-20 which states  that we should go and make disciples of all the nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

Many evangelistic efforts and church harvest events are successful in winning souls but the concern of many pastors is how to keep converts in the church so that they can be discipled and grow up to lead others in Christ.

I find the G12 Vision effective in winning large numbers because it engages every single believer in the church in evangelism. It also has a high retention rate because converts are immediately followed up and assimilated into cells. Its discipleship strategy empowers every believer to be a leader, so that many more souls are won and discipled. If God were leading you, He would lead you to do what the Bible says. A Christian is ought to win souls. That is the most important thing with God.

I know that the G12 vision will happen this year of 2012. Win Souls and Make Disciples. It’s time for a harvest! and yes, I’m ready! All for the glory of God!

Dealing with Difficult People

When you lead a group, you will deal with people and  eventually, you will come across group members with problems like these. We all know a lot of people are unreasonable and even we as  Christians who will run into people but they will not listen, deal, resolve, or handle things  in God’s way. They only want their way to be followed.

But I know that with each type of  this kind of person, prayer is a key because God has brought the person to our group for a reason, and it might be to help us grow as a disciple and a leader. All we need is to pray for this person and ask for wisdom to handle the situation.

Prayer is the most important act for us in any manner and we have to remember that obedience is what counts and not how others respond to us.  We are even called to bless these unreasonable people and we do that by remaining true to His Lordship in our maturity.

We will not get discourage about the situation and let the bad people get you down.  We will not allow ourselves to suffer in our spiritual pilgrimage because of someone else. Remember, Do not let yourself fall to the world’s way, regardless of what the other person does. Give them over to God because He is the one who dispenses justice and revenge and not you.

Money Ministry

I just felt bad today when I found out that somebody is using our church activities just for the sake of having money for their personal purpose and interest.  Our church was established by my mother in law who is our Senior Pastor. When she passed away two years ago, her youngest son continued the works of the ministry together with my husband and my sister in law.

Our church is a self supporting ministry and we don’t have any sponsors or affiliates from other churches . We don’t even ask for donation from other people. All the help in terms of funding for any church activities that we have came from our own pocket.I already heard about few people who are working in their ministry just for the sake of getting money. One of them is our friend whom we treated as partner in the ministry but its just too sad to know that he uses our church photo activities without our permission.

The scripture said in Matthew 6: 24 that “You can not serve God and Money”. Of course we need money for the work of the Lord and God knows that but He will provide all our needs and we never have to worry  about it. Yet the motives we have for serving the Lord are not to make a profit in it. Well, I have no right to judge that person because only God knows what he’s doing and only Him can judge his  works.
