Welcome to track #12 of break forth and become who you can become. Amen. Principles of church growth number one, the principle of the multiplied senior pastor. Amen. What does it mean? You must have at least two associates just like yourself. Amen. What do you think? So when we say the multiplied senior pastor, it means that the multiplication of the senior. So the senior is more than one. OK. And you know something? There is nothing that can replace that reality. Pastor Ben, stand up for Jesus. You see you are in Uganda. Who is going to Uganda as well? Stand up now if you see, if I'm not there, Bishop Saki can handle the church. If Bishop Saki is not there, Bishop Eddie can handle just even amongst us we cannot. But even if we are not there, then Eddie Fabian is there, Johnny is there, Hoku is there. I mean, we have people that can handle the whole church. Do you understand now? So that's that's the strength. That's why these football teams, Chelsea and so on, they have wild players on the bench. Every position there is a very Wildman sitting there. They call it what a good bench, a strong bench, OK, we in our weakness, many of us pastors have this great weakness of being the only person. This advice I've given over and over and over and over again. You get it. Now when I say the multiply senior, I mean somebody who is as good as you are and as strong as you are, but not somebody who is like just around. It's just, you know somebody who can just carry a Bible with some servants like person around who cannot fill in for you. Most of the time when we ask people bring your assistant, they bring somebody who cannot fill in. If you are not there, you get it. You get it. Yes, and I'll tell you, the Bible says 2 are better than one. Then the Bible says a threefold cord is not easily broken. So you see, I don't know what else to say. But again, if you cannot make friends, what does it? What do your things say? Make friends? Make genuine friends? No, nobody will be with you. So like Larry, if you are not in one. Who will be there? I don't know. Yes, you have an assistant, but it's not multiplication of Larry. So there's Larry, there's this person that that we can all relate, just like how we are all relating with you, we can relate with him. That's how to know whether you've got the right caliber of person. That person can step in for you and handle all the aspects for you. This is the one deficiency of almost all my pastors. Do you understand? And I tell you, without a strong team like that, you cannot, you cannot build a great ministry. Amen. So that's why sometimes follow the man of God closely. It's part of the. Understanding the wisdom, the this, the counsel, the spirit of knowledge. It's a fact. You see, But we always have just one great person. If the person is not around, what's going to happen? You see? So This is why the Ugandan story is very sad that's we have now have you have who is your assistant there? Pastor Ken. So now let's say Pastor Fifi is going to Uganda now instead of Pastor Fifi is going to be the head pastor with two powerful associates that are multiply senior pastors. So that if pastor because you were his senior pastor when you were in London, is it also now instead of you going to be the multiply senior pastor principle has just happened automatically. You understand that Fasa Fi is the senior pastor. There you have Ben who is he can easily step into the shoes of Fasa Fi. And Ken, who can also step in if need be. You've got a threefold court. You've got a formula in the Bible. Not my formula formula that is in the Bible, but. Now, because this one has been in the church for some years preaching and another person has come, it's like, OK, I will go to a branch. So you go and start a brand new church. You understand. So he's going to start a brand new church. This one is going to be at a place, this one is going to be here. And then we are back to square 1, Ground Zero. You see. But this is the opposite. Of. How things are built, yeah. It's very sad. And you see what I what I what I realized is that people who do not think about science do not believe that this leads to this, this leads to this, this leads to this, this leads to this. That is why in the African context, poverty is being perpetuated and made a permanent feature of our lives and society. Because we do not understand. If the team is in three steps, we only understand one step. This leads to this. But if this leads to this, which leads to this, which leads to this, which leads to this, it's too long. It's too long for our minds to work it out. For instance, to know that industries. Like tomato factory, sugar factory whatever which are even weak and not so profitable are better than not having industries historically but. Because when the factory is there, they have to be people employed, they have to be roads. If you make sugar, you have to connect electricity. So the electricity company will get somebody to pay what a company will get this? The one who makes tins, the one who make the can, the one who makes the cardboard, the printer. So many people are going so in the country benefits general even for the industry that is not profitable or not very profitable or a loss making. Industry is better has been proved by see because this list. This list is about four steps. The printer will get something that this one will get something. This one gets this one. Is about 5. Steps it's too long for our minds to We want something cocoa harvested. You buy, you take the gold from out, we give it money finish. So we are specialists in activities of decreasing returns and activities of perfect markets and increasing, decreasing return activities. Decreasing return means that you have a farm, you have a certain amount of cocoa on it. As the years go by, the yield that comes from the farm goes down. No matter how much you pump in, it does not make the farm make more cocoa. And maybe when you pump it more fertilizer to increase a little, but the more tractors and things you buy doesn't increase it anymore. So that's what we call it, an activity of decreasing returns. No matter how much more you invest, the returns are decreasing. But there are activities of increasing returns. When you set up a big factory to make cars, it will cost you 10 billion to set up the factory on the first year. The second year, your first year, your profit will be 1 billion -, 10 so -9 billion. Second year, your profit will be -5 billion, third year your profit will be 0. And from 4th year, your profit will be 1 billion. Fifth year your profit 2 billion. Sixth year profit. So because you never rebuild the factory twice, so the activity of increasing returns, do you understand it? It's very simple, you see? Are you with me? Yeah. But you see, our minds cannot understand. So poor countries specialize in activities of decreasing returns. Cocoa, corn, goats, pineapple. There's nothing that can be improved. The more investment. So when you hear the president or the president say we are going to specialize in agriculture because 70% of the nation are farmers, they are going to special. What does he say? They are going to specialize in what Decreasing returns activities which is the activity of poor countries and all the rich countries have activities of increasing returns. So if we set up a tomato factory, we will spend $1 million to set it up. Next year we will spend that 1,000,000, we will get 200,000 profits -800 the next year, 202 hundred. After that, all is profits for the next 40 years. So it's an activity of what? Increasing returns? Yeah. And I'm sharing this is this is about 1/3 or 4th. And I keep saying these things, but I'll be saying it. It gives rise to perfect markets. Perfect market means that the market is correct. When you make a coconut, you read in the newspaper how much is coconut in Jamaica? 1 coconut, Ghana, 1 coconut. Coconut. So you read the newspaper and then everybody tells you how much they will pay you for one coconut. But when you make Land Cruiser in Japan, you cannot read the market and say Land Cruiser, the Land Cruiser in Jamaica. Is this Land Cruiser? No, Japan. Who made the language? Say our land. Cruiser, last year we were selling it 60,000, this year we say that it is 96,000. Do you want it? It's imperfect. That means that no one can determine what it will be next month. They can say all the prices are up, so they enter imperfect markets. Do you understand with activities of increasing returns, but we are in perfect market. You read the newspaper Gold is this price, cocoa is this corn is this you can never chisel our Ghanaian corn is what Ghanaian cocoa is what it's nothing. This is the price in the this is how much we buy 1 ship. If you won't sell it go we'll go to Ivory Coast right now. So when you see. A president or a vice president or minister of trade announcing with strength we are going to specialize in farming because what 70% of our youth are into farming, they're going to invest more capital, tractors, whatever. You know that is an activity of what? Decreasing returns leading to a what a perfect market. Which is the activity of poor countries. How many understand what I'm talking about? Easy. Amen. So I'm explaining that this leads to this leads to this leads to this always black man cannot the the logic does not move more than one step. It's not an insult. One person leads to this, two people leads to this threefold court is not easily broken. According to the Bible, not I said. What do you think? Not easy to break it. So why don't everybody take up that leadership structure that Christ, the word of God gives us ancient wisdom that 343 Why are you happy to be one when 2 are better 2 just like you, not 2 that somebody that if you are dead. Who can be there? Who is that? Do you get it? So look at your, look at yourself very well. Look at your structure, look at your ministry, look at my ministry. You understand, you may not know the effect because it takes five steps for you to understand that 2 is better than 1/3 is not easily broken. And this is the effect because it's mysterious that 2 are better than one. But you see, if you can't make genuine friends, AOL number, What if you can't make genuine friends? How are you going to have a multiplication of the senior pastor in the church? Which church can have the pastor there every Sunday? Always, always. Never sick, never absent, Never. I'll never tired. Never and ever. I mean never, whatever. Always, always, 100%, always there, always do. There's nothing like that. So there must be a multiplication of a senior pastor so that the senior pastor is talking to one another, one senior pastor is talking to two another one senior pastor is at the at the gate sorting. Out all sorts of things. Will it not be a stronger church and a stronger ministry? Far stronger. Far, far. So why don't you make all the efforts in your life so that you will not be the only person? Why don't you make all the efforts in the world so that you will fulfill this scripture? Because it's not so important to you, do you understand? Because it's not so important to you today as I am doing crusades and doing other things. Bishop Saki is also handling the mention. The Kodesh is bigger than four many branches put together Bishop. Eddie is also camping, teaching, training, fighting, the lot. I mean, it's a, it's, it is working in a certain way. All these years when we were all together downstairs in the basement counseling, this person is sorting out this, this one is doing this, this one is doing. It has always added more strength to what we are doing. Instead of sitting there to just admire it, why don't you emulate? Emulation is the key way by which rich countries became rich. The word is emulation. Copy Big Daddy who is here from you in Takradi. Takradi, Who else is there? All of you are 111111111. Everybody is 1 Pasayal. If you die now in Conferidwa, who should we see there? Who should we talk to? Your wife. Your wife And who? Pastor Danwa. Do you know Pastor Danwa? So he's not a multiplication of the senior pastor. He is a pastor, but not a multiplication of the multiplication means that. What does multiplication mean? More of the same person? Yeah, more of the same person. Yeah. Why? Why do you think I can walk out and I say, Pastor Richard, OK, stop preaching. This is it because I'm multiplying myself? I can give my thing to Bishop a second. Continue. Continue preaching. I'm not joking, though, and it's not a joke. Yeah, anytime I'm joking, I will tell you. As soon as I'm joking, I will inform you that this one is a joke. Like I have not said it. Don't think of it as a joke. Which of you can walk out of your pulpit and there will be a person who will stand there and he will be just like you. And when he's just like you, we can relate with him as if we were relating with you. That's that's the way you get it. So how does that apply to you? Link it now, Big Daddy. You stand alone, so you'll be different from me. So that God doesn't like you. Parsani. Who are you there with? Alex. So that's good. We're the third person. No, they are your wives. Yeah. Yeah, they are your wives. Yes. Yes, Pastor Joel. You are alone for so many years since 1994 permissions to have an effect. On what you are doing there. Do you see why Pastor Joel is different from me? So I should redistribute my my my earnings to Pastor Joa? I didn't say to you are with who dweller all alone. Yes, AOL 81 stand up. Give him the microphone. Reproduce yourself in others. AOL is not a small thing, it's a document of application. Reproduce yourself. That's why I said. Continue the next chapter I give you the note that you haven't seen before walk here and then note that you have it because I also have not seen the notes before. I saw it the first time when I came here that my secretary gave it to me said these are your notes. I also came to see it here for the first time. So you to see it here for the first time and use it he's. Working now, somebody who's I have to go and pray before I come. I have to wait on the Lord. So I'm also trying to reproduce myself in others. Vuyo, vuyo, you get it. You see, you would have been a strong team in Namibia, you, your brother and another person. But because of the same problem in Uganda, you send a strong man and there's another very strong man, the strongest so far, and he does not want to flow with it. You get it? Then we have to separate you into your weaknesses and everybody goes his weak way. Yeah. So I have to send you to another place and this one to go to another place and go to another place. You go into a what we call you. See, instead of you avoid what we call a virtuous circle, there's something we call a virtuous circle. A virtuous circle is something that repeats itself and becomes better and a good thing that comes back to the first good thing and repeats again and be increased. So a virtuous circle of activities of increasing returns, synergies and perfect imperfect markets, these are all circles that virtuous circle synergies, imperfect market and increasing returns activities. That's the spirit of knowledge. Economics is the spirit of understanding. Statistics is the spirit of wisdom. Two things that compose the spirit of wisdom, History and statistics. Yeah. Spirit of history and spirit of statistics. Spirit of statistics and the spirit of history. These these constitute spirit of wisdom. Aha. You do understand? Yeah, It's very. Sad. So we are all spread out. And split up thinly. That's what causes defeat. That's why Napoleon was defeated. That is why Hitler was defeated. Yeah. And that's why we are being defeated in many corners. Because we are all alone all along. All along, all along I thought that no one lied. You should have done yourself with your, with your neighbor. Second love is is working on it. You see now Hitler was invading Britain on one side, capturing Holland here, invading Russia. All the forces were. Defeated were fighting and when they were entering they remembered Napoleon. Yeah, we are strong on all sides. We are weak on all sides. Aquile you want to be successful. In Brazil you need 3 of you. You see, don't three friends, three people who accept who is a leader. Do you understand who can be together? It's it's in the Bible. Don't, don't follow me. Follow the Bible. Follow God, follow his word. What did he do? God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit, the Spirit, the water and the blood. 331 you get it. But we we always have. You see, you don't understand. You see what you know, what you don't understand, you see you don't understand. In the north, in the South, in London, in America, over here over. There. You see, you don't understand. You don't understand. That's a bit of what the fool the spirit of what? The spirit of what the spirit of what the fool. You don't understand a mobile may you be multiplied in Jesus name, Amen. One of the greatest wisdom for you in your life is always as what about if I'm dead? What about if I'm dead? Will the person be just as good as me? Will he be able to handle it? Will everybody be able to relate with him as they are relating with me if not me? If the person is not full time and you are full time, then a layperson is different from a full time. A lay person is on the land, full time person is on the sea. We use different principles to exist at these different places #2 how many agree that when you multiply the senior pastor, everything is going to be there? Nanakoto come to the front. How does it apply to you pastor in Bagra Kobe come? How does it apply to I want 6-7 people? How it applies to you? You come and you tell us quickly and what you are going to do about it. Linkage it now. Well. I think that's what you're saying is very true. I know what I'm saying is true, So what are you going to do about it? What's what I'm going to do, how I'm going to apply to myself? I'm going to train more people. I had a couple of them. I send them out. Since I send them out, I've seen the effect that has had on the main church. So I'm going to train more people so at least we can be 3 because I know that it works. OK, copy. I also have some people I've trained, at the moment they are handling oxyposes and I'm going through what he's going through. But I have a new set of people and I've started training them and I hope to draw them closer within a few months time to be very. Close. Are you well? I'm fine. You look breathless. A little bit of pressure looking at everybody's face, but I'm. Fine, you're scared. It's not easy to stand there. I was also thinking if I can get one Bible school student. What I realized is that. No. You can have that anybody wants to be with you can be with you. What I realized is that what what I realized is that it's not easy like when you are one person trying to bring another person to think the way we do our things as when it comes to church running, church administration, because over there they have a, a different sign, you know? Over there, Over there. They I. Don't know microphones they. They they have a certain mindset. They OK. You know. Certain you know how church is run. So when we come. Yes. I don't really, well, Nana hasn't made this point fully, but maybe what else is that? The people I have I met in the town when I went, I met them there and we started, they started coming to church and they are becoming just like hi, they can preach, they can do everything. They are not different. It's what you show them that they would do. So this point about there are no people who I brought. There are people I met when I went to Bedro. Larry, what are you going to do? Landy Camp. Who is Bayou pastor? Charles, OK, No. Charles No. Who is that? Henry? You say your name is Lord David. Henry. David. Which one have you chosen? Any of the two? You've added David to your name. And when and when you go to the place you want to be David. Why not? Man after God's own heart, Yogitra has changed his name to Paul and then to David. He called himself Paul and then he has so many troubles and crises in life and he felt that it was the name Paul that had caused all those crises in his life, so he changed it to David. OK, OK. Yes, next. Yeah, visual for me, I noticed this problem, this reality sometime, somewhere last year. So the lay ministers that I had, one of them was an investigative graduate and I explained to him that in our time there was. No, there was. Can you increase the volume please? In our time, there was no Bible school. OK. That's why we didn't go to Bible. School. But at the time that they are coming in, there is Bible school and I believe that they will be better trained if they go to the Bible school. So I have managed to send this university graduate and he's in the Bible school now and. He's going to come after four years. Yeah, Bishop. Reproduction takes time. Thou has spoken a secret of wisdom, OK? Richard, I'm also following the same stairs. I have some guys in the Bible school and I have a few university students with me who I'm bringing up, and after a while I think they'll become like me. All right. And you, What are you going to do? I have two, two people that I brought and I think they are really doing well and I have other three people that I'm bringing. It's said to be very big. Are you going to do speak the language very when you go? How many hours a day practice are you going to do Michael Jackson style? Three hours. Three hours a day. Very good. You'll be surprised when you come. They will. They will mention your hometown in Tanzania. You are in this town. Yes, Adopted it as a hometown, like the black Americans who come and adopt Cape Ghost as their hometown. You also get a hometown in Tanzania. Yeah, well, how many? What do you people think about Uganda? So I think that like you're saying, we will go for that. I mean, I, I, I, I desire to go for what? Like you're saying at the moment I have Pastor Ken is with us at the moment and he, he's also with us. I mean, he will be the third person to form this three 4th court Pastor Ben. I really don't have a problem with Pastor Ben. I mean, when he was with me in North Kensington, in fact, after he left, I said it several times to Pastor Kuyuku and so on. I mean, one of the best people I ever worked with in the church was Pastor Ben. But now he's a big man, he's a strong, he's strong, he's very strong. He has tested of the authorities. He's a man of authority. He says to one go and he go, and to another come and he come in. Yes. So I, I believe that, I mean I'm, I'm, I'm happy to work with Pastor Ben anytime and I trust that he's also in that flow. Well, I don't have a problem with it. I've discussed with Reverend already. So I mean we, we, that was the decision we took in Uganda before coming here. So it's no problem. Yes, I mean because of. Rachel, rise and speak, rise. You change your mind. At the council meeting you say you have the conviction to preach and that's why you came to Uganda, so you would not like to deal with in the same church. I mean, I'd like to. Pin you to this Why is the pin? Why is the pin? Somebody should hold the pin penis. Take your pin and pin him down Ayuda, I said take your pin and pin. Reverend I, I I really don't think that is maybe it might sound or it sounded like that, but that that wasn't no, no, no, no, no, no, it was English language. It cannot sound. It means something else. And for the pin. So if you've changed your mind, yes. I mean pass the TE, pin him. OK, take him another pin. So, so yeah, I think what you said was very clear. OK, so I've changed my mind. So you've changed your mind. What are you saying? I'm working with Reverend Fifi. You're going to work together as a team. You're going to assist him. I'm going to assist him. We are. I'm going to assist you. We're going to be part of the team, the three man team. He's our senior pastor and we are going to work together in Uganda. Hello. OK, let's come. I'm not, I'm not saying that you're lying, but I'm just wondering. You decided in Uganda when you came, you change your mind, then you change your mind again now so so are you. Is it not a symptom of erratic personality? AOLAOLAOL out of leadership number what he doesn't loyalty. AOLAOL find something for them. OK, gentlemen, you can sit down. Don't destroy your ministry by saying wrong he's in public. #67. AOL what #167 Have you seen? Everything is in the book. Me, if I was 50, I wouldn't be sure. If I was 50, I wouldn't be sure. But I see 50 is a nice plagmatic. Is it going, flowing? Doesn't see anything wrong? Say yes. It doesn't have a problem or doesn't have a problem. Very nice guy. Yeah. OK. You are blessed. Now, principle of maximize Sunday usage. So you must use Sunday fully. Any pastor who is in the house on Sunday afternoon, you are not doing something right. Something is wrong to watch television on Sunday afternoon. There's something wrong with your church. Do you get what I'm saying? Yeah. It's a time you can visit. It's a time you can meet. It's a time when people are free. Anything that you want to do, you can do it on Sunday. Outreach, hospital visitation, visiting people in their houses, busy people who get them at home. I mean meetings in church, choir rehearsal, youth meeting, youth rehearsal, choir practice. I mean music, musicians practice, whatever. Sunday is the best day. So what are you doing in the house Sunday afternoon? Then you've not understood this principle of maximized Sunday usage. So the way you understand it is when somebody is in his house on Sunday afternoon, then it's not really following this wonderful principle which gives you access to all the people that you need to see who have jobs on Monday. When you say you are coming to work on Monday at 9:00, there's nobody there. So why don't you work all your? Best. And give it the best that you can so that Monday you, it's your day off. And it's not, I mean, exclusive to Lighthouse when you go to Korea. You see the church, 8:00 nine o'clock 10 o'clock 11:00 They are all there in the night. Did you see them there in the night? 11:00 in the night they are all there. So about midnight, you see the offices are open, people are working meetings, rounding up, another meeting, another meeting, another meeting. Like that Monday, only security officers are in the church. Everybody has gone home. Monday is day off for pastors. So it's not as though it's like, oh, this is a lighthouse thing, do you understand? Yeah. And if it is, there's nothing wrong with that number three principle of smaller subdivisions, Amen. The reason why smaller subdivisions Amen are important is because. Whether you like it or not, human beings are categorized. Apartheid tried to make official what is unofficially real if you leave human beings. Apartheid divided South Africa into whites, Indians, Khaleds and blacks. Blacks, if you leave human beings on their own, the whites will be together, the colors will be together, the Indians will be together, and the blacks will be together. Whether you make it official or not, through or not, through, through or not, through and whether you like it or not. People love to discriminate and to make up groups. In every country we have different groups. Ashantis Airways, Northerners, Ghans Airways. In every country you have groups. Old, young. My children call me old. To them I'm an old man and my wife is an old woman. Yeah. They were telling me the other day that if you hear Ida singing a song, it means that it is from 1970. The song is in the 70s from the 70s and the 80s, but not current songs. So I have not categorized myself as old, but somebody has categorized me as old. Oh, you don't understand what I'm saying. So whether you categorize yourself or you categorize people, they are being categorized. In Ghana, there are places I can take you. You see only white people. Only white people. In Nigeria, I can take you to some places you see only white people. Only white people. Jumping, dancing, drinking, smoking. Those are the places when you see a lot of white people in one place. Don't go there. Those are places that terrorists target. Yeah, we see a lot of white people. They are always there. They're drinking, smoking. Don't go there. Is it the Islamic terrorists? They call it white. Meat. They are targets. Very good target. Just have to be in one of those places with a bomb. That's what they did in Bali, kill all of them. Yeah. So watch such places. When you see antennas, you go outside. This is a good target. They would like such people past so that they when they cut their news, come three British were killed, four Americans. This is when they give their news is as if the rest are ghosts or the rest were goats, goats and sheep that were killed. When you read that. So one British soldier killed in Afghanistan, three Americans. Meanwhile, 400 Iraqis were killed, 5000 Afghanistan were killed. One Britain, it's their television. Sky News CNN is American, so they are mentioning their citizens. The rest are animals. Are you there? So what I'm trying to explain is that your church is also divided into rich, poor. It's also divided into educated, uneducated. So smaller divisions created from the basis for people to do what they want to do. Like apartheid, their own self instituted apartheid. Yeah, a path means apartheid. Apartheid means a path. Everybody wants to be a part. Do you get it? Yeah. They're trying to be a part. If they get a chance or they'll be a part. That's why when you go to schools, university, you see the form a quapim, something, youth, whatever. What's Bossa Bossa Volta Region Students Methodist Student Union This union that union was a upper WW vasu brung 1/2 of students. Everybody wants to form a group. So how does this apply to your check Pastor Chris? How does it apply to your church? Hurry up, we are closing. This is the last this thing. How does it apply to your church practically? I should deal with the smaller groups as rich people, educated people. I should be able to. You should be able to do a. Compartmentalize them and flow with them. You see what it means is that every member in your church, when you see, you have to ask us which group does he belong to which, which category is there a group that accommodates such people? That's why we formed Elders Board because there was no group. They don't come for Thursday ministry meeting. They don't come for this. They can't come for they can't. So realize that we need a group for big shots. We didn't have, we were big shot Fellowship International. So we met elders because the elders, we have different types of elder business elders, elders by age, elders for, I mean different things. Did you get it? Yeah. So categorize, categorize, categorize. The groups are there. Amen. Next one, the principle of what? Catering for group AI know person X oriented church? What is person X? First timers? New combats, New members? Amen. Bishopsaki meets new combats every Sunday, right? If you came for the first time, he'll meet you himself in his office. Or yeah, he'll take time to meet you himself in the office. Joel Osteen does the same. Shake everybody's hand coming for the 1st and the pastor himself. Don't delegate it to some other. I mean Asha, who has been given orange squash to share to the people, and I decided to take it home for her children's birthday party. You yourself meet them oriented towards new people, because new people are the people without shepherdorial cement. They are in and they are out. They will never stay. So when they meet with you rather than somebody else, you will be blessed. Amen. So person X oriented, Orient yourself towards anybody who is new. Suddenly he's the most important person for today. Do you understand? What did Jesus say? There's more joy in heaven over one Sinner that is saved. So you need to be oriented towards new people, new combats, new people. Try to be oriented towards them and perhaps God will give you the increase. The principle of catering. For Group A and Group B members. Group A once a week, isn't it? Amen. They are more reliable. They attend church more than once as AB they come once a week. There's a lot of people like that. Now there are churches. They don't have anything like ministry meetings, but they are. Big because there is the church is completely Group B Church Sunday, Mosasuno's church. Is a good example. Sunday is the main day. There's no other day. There's nothing like Tuesday. There's there's, there's, there's no SO. He he, he, he does not have like convention Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, they don't have even they have that culture. Everything is the Sunday, Sunday is everything. So you see, that's what I'm saying. The Maximize Sunday People have learned how to. Those with big, big, big churches. If you see Mosasanos Church Charlie now, you'll be afraid. Craps like what? But there's nobody will come during the week. Everybody 'cause when they were at their Soweto place, there was nowhere to have service, only Sundays. Huge and once a week when when a when a person acts Group B church is inviting you, they invite you for only Sundays. I've been invited to several Group B churches like Pastor Moses Church. Basically when he invites me, he invited me for the Sunday. Ray McAuley invited me, bought me my ticket, flew me to stay in a hotel to just preach on Sunday. 3 services for one of the largest churches in the thousands of people. Everybody just come on Sunday and goes. Anything you have for them, do it within that. Whatever, Everything is oriented towards that service. Recently, I was invited to another Group B church in Paris. Thousands of people, three services, 123. By the time I finished, I preached to 8000 people in Paris. Yeah, Group B challenge. Anything that's been tight. This, this. And I was going to come the week before. They told me no, that week is our tight week. We don't have this test on that day. Everything is a Sunday. That Sunday is the major. I mean, it's something prepare for. The pastor told me I pray 3 hours a day, no variation, 3 hours constantly. In Paris there is no variation, he said. Over here there you can. You cannot joke with three constant hours before I do anything apart from anything 3. Hours 123 continuous. Hours to pray a day Ruby Church. You come on this particular you disturb that there is no convention check we are having a convention program seven day three day 4 there's nothing like that Sunday is everything all Christianity is focused on Sunday morning two hours that you'll be there and finish so if. We are specialists of Group B and specialists of Group A. We will cause our churches to multiply, especially Group B, which is the people who come only on Sundays. Many of us don't know how to specialize for Sunday to give our very best Korean pastors go into their study from Saturday afternoon till Sunday morning. Sunday is the main thing that is happening in the world. Sunday morning. They don't know when they preach. What Yamiche outside? I think you are sleeping, is it not, Yamiche? Are you sleeping? No, to the back, To the back before something bad happens or your eyes are open. No, go to the back. You are arguing with a Christian. AOL. Are you listening to me? What am I saying? What was I talking about? Korean pastors from Saturday afternoon, they've entered into that. You said this. Many of us have lost our reverence for the Sunday. What is a Sunday? When a pastor is going to work, how he will prepare the prayer, the intensity you understand, and also when, for instance, we have something like where we preach camps for hours and so on, you lose your respect for Sunday, you see, by a person who doesn't have camping. This kind of things. His whole world is that Sunday morning, that Sunday morning message he has prepared for his waiting on God and all of us passes. You are not campus. You are not having camps or conventions or whatever on Sunday is your main day. The whole of Saturday should be preparing or quarreling with your wife because of the tension that has come. Even the fact that there's no quarrel with your wife on Saturday show that you are not even preparing well. If you were seriously prepared by now, you would have had a quarrel with your wife on Saturday. There's no tension, there's always peace. But even the fact that the presence of the quarrel reveals that even Sunday is a form of tension and preparation for you. It's a major thing for you. I see pastors today instead of moving around doing all sorts of things. Do you understand watching films Saturday? Whatever instead of entry you're starting to pray for 8 hours before? I don't understand what I'm saying. Are we not talking about church growth? I'm talking about church growth. Maximize Sunday usage. That's why I said this Group B churches, you go and say Sunday is there all, All in all this church. I was invited. They've invited me. I said, look, I could give you 3 Sundays. He said I could give you 3 Sundays to preach. The main thing is the main thing is a Sunday. The main thing is a Sunday. The. Main thing. That's why I don't preach on Sunday morning, because after preaching here from morning to evening, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, if I don't think I'll despise 30 minutes sermon that I'll preach on Sunday morning. And you see, for a person who is pastoring a lot, that 30 minutes sermon is equivalent to my one week of camp. In that context of the church, it is the whole week's work. What I'm doing is different. What I'm doing now is not pastoral work on Sunday morning. I am training, teaching, encouraging for the pastors to work. I have to do that during the week. But Sunday, Charlie, that's why real pastors of I will never see a pastor travelling away from research on Sunday. Saturday we are returning. Saturday we are returning to our churches. What do you mean I have? To be in church on Sunday? I'm not serious. You see every day travel or you are away for three weeks, you will be away for it means you are a part time pastor. You are not the full time pastor for that check. You are the part time pastor because every time you are not around, every time you are all around, every time you are not around, the ship will get used to you being around all the time. They are used to you. They are used to your voice. Even if a better pastor comes because they are used to you, they will not like the better one. They like the old one, which is not good. Because they like what they are used to know what is good. So, pastor, today you've traveled, you are going again. You are not there. Sunday you found this time you go to this program, then you come. You say you are going for a convention. You go here, you come serious. Pastoral way you are joking. That is why I gave up that thing, because I realized I know it is not compatible with what I'm doing. Let a person who is concentrating on his pastoral work and who can pray from Saturday to Sunday, and who can fast and who can quarrel and do everything so that Sunday will work. Let him come and do that work. If you know you can't do it, resign and become a soldier or some other job. But don't say you are the pastor of the church when you are not around. The principle of multiple services. Amen. This again encompasses the nature of human beings. To understand child growth, you have to understand human behaviour. Nothing you do can change human behaviour. Do you understand? Humans will behave, so the pastor has to adjust himself to fit into the human behavior. Whether you say everybody should come at 8 or 9, or there will always be some people who want to come at six or six. When I was a pastor of the church on Sunday mornings, I used to get irritated. Why do you want to come so early? Why? What are you going to do? From 8:30 to the next, I mean. Why? But there are some people no matter what, and I used to actually blast them for coming. That's why I got my revelation that I'm doing the wrong job. And I said, no, I cannot. But I see a pastor. He has to come with a heart. He's prepared for them and bless them, and they have done the work of God by. Coming at 6:30. What do you think? It's a fantastic yes. Hello, you taught us about the need for us to have multiple services as we have gone on. I feel that you may have to sort of re educate us on what you actually mean because what has happened over the years is that you see a church that has a large hall of let's say 40 people and then it starts multiple services. So you have about let's say 30 coming for the first service and then 10, but under about 25 of. The the first service people. Joining and it goes on, you know, for a long time. And then it also brings in the issue of even counting. So often what you see is that this church will report that on Sundays they have, let's say, 80 people, you know, whereas if you actually went there to count, you'll be having 40 or 50 people, so. I just want. Us to re educate us on what you mean you know for us to do. Very good. What percent EFL is saying is true. If you are not ready to have multiple services, don't have it. Do you understand? Wait until the church is sufficiently developed before you have multiple services. What's the point of having a service for six people, 10 people when it's not really a service? It makes you even tired. You understand. That's the same idea of splitting up into branches. When the main church is not even 100 people, then suddenly you are starting to sit so many branches. You understand, And it's like you have branches, but it's actually nothing and it's just a lot of effort and energy. It's not doing anything to stabilize you. You get it. What do you think? The next one principle of dynamic church services, You must have a goal for each service. How much time have you allotted? One of the things that really helps the church to grow is timing. On Sunday morning. What type of meeting place do you have? This calico type of whatever, We don't have that. Amen. What type of meeting place do you have? How do you present yourself? Alter calls must be made. Pastors must not run off after church Amen. All these are principles of what Amen The principle of dynamic church services Amen the next one, The principle of using technology and research. Technology and research. Amen. The next one the. 80. 20 Principal The next one, the principal of the scholarly pastor, the next one, the principle of having a power ministry. So many powerful principles. The next one, the principle of pastoral individuality. The next one, the principle of massive organized prayer. And finally, the principle of lay people doing the work. Amen. What do you think? Is it powerful? Stand to your feet and let's pray for church growth for a few moments. The. The Bola rabba Kaneri mosh Kiba, let lift our hands up and thank him for a wonderful day. Wonderful day, wonderful time in his presence. Time of teaching, time of of being anointed to have church growth in our ministries, that our church will multiply, our churches will increase, grow, multiply, mandurable Shiba hakataya beyond durables, kibra vadori bakataya.
