प्रार्थना योद्धा / THE PRAYER WARRIOR

The Seven “Kingdom Expanders” (Acts 2:37-47)  1. Repentance and Baptism.  2. The Great Commission apostolic teaching 3. Table Fellowship and Breaking of bread from house to house.  4. Kingdom Prayers  5. Signs and wonders  6. Generous giving to the apostles  7. Making multigenerational disciples   The church owns the greatest reservoir of untapped gifts and talents in the world, all buried underground. Dig anywhere and you will find pearls, nuggets and treasures of great value. They are likely to remain buried unless zealously found and polished into kingdom expanders of great value (Matt. 13:45,46) The Old Testament begins with sin in the first family who brought the curse. The OT ends with the threat of more curses if there is disintegration in the family relationship. Therefore, any sustainable revival in the church must begin in the family. Elijah incarnated as John the Baptist to restore the family as the centre of gravity (Mal 4:6; Luke 1:17...

Sequential Ekklesia Growth Drivers for Hyper-Acceleration 1.Vision for completion with measurable goals. 2. Prayer walking and annexing the strongman’s territories as your eternal inheritance (1Tim. 2:8; Matt. 12:29; Acts 26:18). 3. Going 2 by 2, catching big fish, planting interactive, replicating ekklesias in the house of peace (Luke 10:1-9; 1 Cor. 14:26). 4. Apostolic teaching , passionate prayer, miracles, sharing and caring and breaking bread from house to house (Acts 2:42-47).  5. Plurality of leadership with obedience rather than knowledge based discipleship. Networking with others (Eph. 4:11-13).  6. Priesthood of all believers including women till there be no more laymen left in the ekklesia (Acts 2:17,18;1Pet. 2:9). 7. Culture of research, innovation and finding breakthrough strategies. Reward those who mobilize for multiplication. 8. Adopt “Saturation Principle” with daily offering of Gentiles as a sacrifice.(Rom.15:16;1Cor. 14:24,25) 9. Ethno-linguistic ...

Three Levels of Leadership-- Then and Now 1. The Priests: Only the descendents of Aaron could be temple priests, authorized to offer sacrifices. In the NT times it was the Apostles. Today, it is the top leaders who have the big picture and provide strategic leadership. They bring international thinking and resources on the table. On their vision and drive depends the entire movement. Flawed vision at this level can corrode the whole system. The best of them Envision, Empower and have an Exit plan. 2. The Ministers: The Levites were ministers who did everything except sacrificing. Timothy, Titus, Priscilla and Lydia constituted this tier in the NT. They are the growth drivers. Their passion and ability for capacity building of the grassroots level workers to implement the apex leader’s vision is critical to success. Frustration, incompetencies and poor connectivity with the top leader can fizzle out the momentum.  3. The Ordinary People: The ordinary Jews were called to be pr...

Self-Audit of a Committed vs. a Cultural Christian  1. If your Master came to seek and to save that which is lost, are you doing the same things as His follower and making the angels rejoice? (Luke 19:10; 15:7,10) 2. If your Lord came to destroy the works of the Devil and the first sign of a believer is that he can cast out demons, how much damage are you causing to the demonic kingdom? (1 John 3:8; Mark 16:17 Math 16:18; Eph. 6:10-18; 2 Cor. 10:3-5) 3. If the agenda of the Chief Shepherd of your soul is to “gather the sheep who are not of this fold,” have you added any lost souls to His fold lately? (John 10:16; 1 Peter 2:25) 4. If your Best Friend has given you a new commandment to love each other as He has loved you so that the world may believe in Him, is the world responding to Him because of your loving relationships? (John 13:34,35; 15:14,15) 5. If your Saviour has commanded you to go out two by two to be His witness and make disciples, have you discipled any nations latel...
