Church Multiplication
John 15:7
The secret to asking and getting what you will is to abide in HIM.
John 15:8
Church multiplication pleases God as long as it leads to new converts (NOT just membership). Any praying and preaching of the gospel work that leads multiplication pleases God.
Acts 2:41-47 – (47)
This is another prove that God has intentions, plans and happy with church multiplication.
God’s ultimate aim is to save His children that are lost (Luke 15:1-7, 8-10; Matthew 25:14-30). God wants to save the lost and deliver those that are afflicted. It is all about souls. In other to do this effectively, God wants us to:
- Abide in HIM – John 15:7
- Ask HIM for souls – John 15:7
- Do what is needed to win the lost to Christ: – John 15:8
- Give to missions & ministries doing the work
- Preach the word of God
- Preach to your neighbors.
The whole chapter of John 15 is talking about Husbandman, the vine and the branches is about souls. The reason God wants me(and you) to be a living sacrifice, stay in HIS presence daily is to bring about winning of souls and to ensure those souls abide. – John 15:16
One of the reason for work of the Holy Spirit is to help us bear witness of Christ since we have been with Him. – John 15:27.
As we bear witness, God will also bear us witness both with sign and wonders, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit according to His will.
