ADD TO THE CHURCH

Today in the early hours I woke up to pray and then sat down to write an article for Daniel Academy. The Holy Spirit reminded me of the mighty deeds of believers in early churches. The church grew from small groups to an influential majority.
Rapid conversion took place. Growth was numerical, ethical and spiritual. It spread out like wildfire.
3000 people were saved and added to the church in one day . If we read acts 1:1-14
We can find out the characteristics of the early church which we can apply.
In ACT 1:8 we read what our lord asks us to do.
“YOU WILL BECOME MY WITNESS IN JERUSALEM ,IN JUDEA AND SAMARIA AND TO THE ENDS OF EARTH.”
In early church
- God spoke to the believers .They heard the voice of God and they obeyed.
- They were united.and one minded. Their passion was for the kingdom of God .Everything else they put aside.
- New believers were taught and made disciples and sent out to preach the kingdom of God. They were not tied like our petty animals . The preachers allowed them to go out of the church to make disciples and to multiply the church.
No tithe. No building and no money offerings .no full time pastors or evangelists. Everyone was involved in building the true church.
They shared everything they had in common and real love ruled them all. They had goals to achieve.
Apostles and others set a goal to achieve and they went wherever the Holy Spirit asked them to go and preach the gospel and multiplied the church.
Now it is our turn.
The Army of Jesus was formed by our Lord with a specific purpose of multiplying true churches. Let us act according to the direction of the Holyspirit to prepare the world for kingdom of God on earth and for eternal life.
After much prayer and as per the guidance of
The Holy Spirit, a goal of 234 troop churches was set in September 2022.soldiers worked sincerely and achieved the goal before the end of December 2022.
Now the goal for AOJ is 4123 troop churches before the end of October 2023. We should conduct 4123 troop churches for 8 weeks continuously and complete the task .
Are we passionate about our goals?
Our goal should be meaningful to us and provide us with a sense of pride once we meet them.
We should spare many hours for prayers . we should be in constant touch with all the members of our troop churches
Let us write down names of members and call them to join the troop church. From today onwards.
Specific and challenging goals have been set to AOJ.
Time-bound program has been announced by the Holy Spirit.
Deadline has been set for launching 4123 troop churches in all assembly segments .
We should be prepared to offer 4123 troop churches to our Lord Yeshu on 11:11:2023.during silver jubilee celebrations in Madurai. It should be a memorable day for all the 4123 troop leaders in India .
If all troop leaders are willing to participate in silver jubilee celebrations God will provide food and accommodation to all of them. The meeting pandal will be expanded to accommodate 5000 participants.
Our eyes should be kept on the goal., goals should be put in a place we visit regularly so that we are constantly reminded of where we want to be.
This could be a bulletin board or It can be incorporated in online groups software . Let us pray and plunge into action.
Goals aren’t going to achieve themselves.
Let us put our plan into action. Even the smallest act makes us one step closer to our goal. Let us Identify potential obstacles and remove them. Let us Keep ourselves close to the Holy Spirit and share our experiences anytime with Him. We should never feel defeated, let us review our goals and see what we can change.
As a member in the national coreteam for troops churches I have to motivate all soldiers to achieve our goal. We should start our troops churches before 17th sep 2023. We will complete 8 weeks on or before 5th november2023.
May God guide every soldier in transforming the church. LET US ADD TO THE CHURCH EVERYDAY Amen.
