DRIVE THE CHANGE STEP 2
DRIVE THE CHANGE STEP 2
25 Steps to transit from being barren to a millionaire of souls.
Move away from corporatized, commercialized, fossilized, ritualized, traditionalized, monopolized, politicized and over organized Christianity which needs to democratized, decentralized and diversified; to gathering in simple organic ‘houses of peace’, which are biblical, kingdom oriented, customizable, effective, productive, flexible and free. ‘God does not dwell in temples made with human hands’; rather He dwells in human hearts. You are the mobile walking and talking temples of the living God, with a maximum of organism and a minimum of organization.
With growing radicalism and hostility in many countries, planting below the radar, invisible churches that quietly multiply, is not only wisdom but is the only option available.
Do not take only Christians for the bus ride but also invite seekers in your house gatherings to launch a miraculous “houses of prayer” planting movement among those who are perishing. The job of the shepherd is not just managing the congregation but engaging them in the secular world to catapult not-yet-Christians into the kingdom of His dear Son. Anything less is preaching the truth but not the whole truth. Knowing the truth and not practicing the truth makes you a hypocrite. The core motivation of your life is to share Christ, the image of the invisible God, with other fellow creatures.
This is not optional but obligatory. Leaders are multi-taskers who spot talents, mentor and empower others, which means giving responsibility, authority and resourcing them and then release them to do greater things than them. Teaching is not transferring knowledge but helping them to discover biblical truths and obeying them. Coaches demonstrate hands on discipling skills, while elders build character and together they impart vision and passion for elevating the degraded people into saints of the Most High God. (Luke 10:5-9; Matt. 10:11-13; Acts 7:48-49; 17:11; 2 Cor. 2:14-17)
