- Everyone mocked today is sure to be made tomorrow, that is the way it works.
- We must remain on the Go.
- Marketing the gospel of the Kingdom to keep the Church of Christ growing on the earth.
- Where Church marketing stops, that is where Church growth stops.
NO CHURCH GROWS WITHOUT A PEOPLE ON THE GO!
The sales of any product will stop where its marketing stops. We have a very clean illustration of this (Luke 14:17-23)
“Bring them in the blind, the maimed, the hurt.” They said, “we have gone and there is still room.”
He said, “go again and compel them to come.”
Jesus is here illustrating the place of marketing the gospel. He has come to give us life and give us more abundantly, He is for all people, He died for the whole world:
“Come, somebody has paid the price for you to have fulfillment in life.”
Response: No, I can’t. I am too busy for that. I am not a religious bigot.
He said, “go again and go again and go again.”
Wherever the marketing of any product stops, that is where the sales will stop. Therefore, Church marketing is key to sustainable Church growth. The quality of a product notwithstanding, it is effective marketing that determines the level of sales.
“I became all things to all men so that I might by all means save some” (1 Corinthians 9:20-22).
Where Church marketing stops, that is where Church growth stops. Everywhere highly selling product is as a result of high-level marketing drives. Aggressive marketing is key to great sales and high-level profiting to match.
“Go to the highways and hedges and compel them to come” (Luke 14:23)
“Others save with fear pulling them out of the fire” (Jude 1:23)
Aggressive marketing! We must remain on the go, marketing the gospel of the Kingdom to keep the Church of Christ growing on the earth.
We cannot experience supernatural Church growth without engaging the Holy Spirit, the Lord of the Harvest on the altar of prayer (Matthew 9:38). As we go, we generate back-up power to make our going profitable. He is the Lord of the Harvest, He is the ‘Convicter’, He is the Converter (John 16:7-9).
No one can be saved without the intervention of the Holy Spirit. He will convict the world of sin and of righteousness and of judgment, to prepare them and to prepare us for Heaven. But He will only show up on demand. He will only step in on demand (Luke 11:13). We need this back-up to get results on the Harvest Field.
“Holy Spirit, go with me today. Let everyone, (every) contact that I have in my office, on my way to work, that I share the good news with, be convicted to the point of conversion. Thank You Jesus.”
“Let every call I make today be accompanied with your convicting power.”
“Let every new convert I speak to today, respond favourably to the call and be strengthened by your Word in that Service.”
Without Him (Holy Spirit), we are helpless on the harvest field. When Peter spoke on the day of Pentecost, they were pricked in their heart. The Holy Ghost went in there and 3,000 people were converted and saved the same day (Acts 2:41).
We need Him, our going will be fruitless without Him. We will just be going, we won’t have much to show for it. Remember, He is the Lord of the Harvest (Matthew 9:38, Luke 10:2, Acts 1:8). That’s what makes us effective on the harvest field. He gives the utterance and He convicts the listeners. So, how do we go without Him? Don’t ever leave Him behind, it can be very frustrating when all the ‘Goings’ don’t have results to show.
-In the name of Jesus, from today, as you engage the Lord of the Harvest on the altar of prayer, every of your steps shall be productive.
He helps our weakness in prayer. He keeps us fervent on the altar of prayer, so praying for souls to be established will only become effectual with the help of the Holy Spirit. We pray to have Him, we pray to have Him empower our prayer lives into higher levels. So He is at the center of our effectual operation on the Harvest field.
Many will not believe except they see signs and wonders, so they prayed and the Holy Ghost came upon them. They prayed for signs and wonders; the Holy Ghost who generates signs and wonders came and the place was shaken where they were gathered together (Acts 4:31). He is the One that makes us effective sickles of harvest on the Harvest Field.
-No one’s labour shall be in vain this year in the name of Jesus Christ. Church Gist.
It takes a genuine heart for God to keep going after souls because that is God’s Number 1 interest on the earth. When you are truly passionate for God, that becomes your way of life to see somebody pulled out of darkness into light, somebody brought out of torment into triumph. It becomes your heartbeat and things begin to look up in your life (1 Corinthians 2:9).
The good news is, it is no special calling, it is every believer’s opportunity for their desired change of story. Soul winning, soul establishment is no calling, no special calling, no special endowment: “You have not chosen Me but I have chosen you” (John 15:16) – who is He talking to? Every member of the Body of Christ.
John 15:1-2
He said to every branch, “you have not chosen Me, I have chosen you and I have ordained, engraced you; everyone of us, that you should go and bring forth fruit and see that your fruit abide. So you can be brought into favour with Me. Whatsoever you ask the Father in my name, He will give it to you” (John 15:16).
It’s a platform that launches believers into realms of divine favour.
-You will meet favour this year: unusual favour, fearful favour, as you begin to invest in God’s heartbeat on the earth who wants ALL men to be saved and He wants ALL men to come to the knowledge of the truth as He makes them available in Church.
1 Timothy 2:4
When we partner with Him on it, He brings us into favour with Him (Psalm 102:13-15).
Fearful favour for taking pleasure in the affairs of the Kingdom, fearful favour keeps attending to you. Fearful favour!
-Somebody’s change of story will take place this week as you step out these 2 days remaining, on your phone, sending text messages, reaching out to people in your neighbourhood, praying over your new converts, praying for Sunday’s Service that everyone who is not saved will be saved, everyone invited will respond, everyone holding our fliers will find their way here, everyone holding our tracts will be convicted by the power of the Holy Ghost.
-As you are doing that in secret, He keeps rewarding you openly.
-It is your year. This year is your Year.
Prayer: Give God thanks for the privilege to be part of this move of the Spirit. Give Him thanks for the privilege to be alive at this time.
Holy Ghost, go with me today. Holy Ghost, accompany me today. Holy Ghost, make today a fruitful day for me, on the altar of prayer; a fruitful day for me, for every contact I am privileged to make and thank You for this, in Jesus precious name we have prayed.
-Every marital turbulence will experience calmness!
-Every marital spell at Sunday’s Covenant Day of Marital Breakthrough shall be broken forever!
-Every secret tears going on in any home, in His Presence on Sunday, they shall be turned into testimonies!
“Lord, let these fliers send a signal of rest to every troubled family, to everyone whose marital destiny is under a siege. Breathe upon these fliers Holy Ghost and turn them to signals of rest to every restless family, every turbulent family. Do it Jesus.
Let every marital siege be over. Let every spell be broken. Church Gist. Let every siege of marital delay come to an end. Let every turbulence in every home experience calmness. Do it Jesus, to the glory and praise of your name. In Jesus precious name we have prayed.”
When we talk about Miracle Jobs, we are not just talking about people looking for paid employment:
We are talking about people who go to work, without nothing to work on.
We are talking about consultants without clientage.
We are talking about artisans without anyone engaging them: you are a Painter and you have not painted for the past 4 years.
We are talking about people who open their shops and there is nothing going on: No work. They even lock it up and walk around.
-Whatever is resisting your prosperous destiny in Christ, whatever is drying up your pool, Jesus wants to sort it out.
Take advantage of that as many of us as desire to so do and step out of your dry season by the light of God’s Word. He has given us ALL things that make for life and godliness through the knowledge of Him who has called unto glory and virtue (2 Peter 1:3).
Revelation is the real currency of the Kingdom. You shall know the truth and it shall make you free; when the Truth sets you free, you are free indeed.
-Every air of stagnation, every air of joblessness, every air of nothing happening must come to an end this time.
WHY?
IT IS YOUR YEAR OF SUPERNATURAL TURNAROUND. IT MUST ANSWER!!!
Give God thanks for all the opportunities coming your way to decorate your life, decorate your destiny. Give Him glory and praise. Thank You Father.
We are also marketing the acts of God through the Special Miracle Service, the last Service of every month. We have some fliers to that effect, so go ahead and tell them, “Jesus is healing, Jesus is setting free, Jesus is making whole.”
Don’t be ashamed of Him. If you are ashamed of Him, He will be ashamed of you.
Give them room to mock you, so He can make you.
Everyone mocked today is sure to be made tomorrow, that is the way it works. In the name of Jesus, you shall not be left out.
Tell everybody, “Jesus is healing, He is setting free”; let them come in and experience liberty in their own lives.
Give God thanks. He is a good God.
SPEAK TO THE DAY:
It shall be a day of good news for you!
Your going and coming shall be kept!
There shall be no evil report of any kind!
Speak to the day. We have today and tomorrow to move in as Cells must be filled and jammed.
