LESSON 1
You Can Do IT!
To think like a world class Christian you must shift from thinking of excuses to thinking of creative ways to fulfill your commission. If you’re willing, there’s always a way to do it, and there are agencies who will help you. Here are some common excuses:
• "I only speak English." This is actually an advantage in many countries where
millions of people want to learn English and are eager to practice it.
• "I don’t have anything to offer." Yes you do. Every ability and experience in your
SHAPE can be used somewhere.
• "I’m too old or too young." Most mission agencies have age-appropriate short-term
projects.
Whether it was Sarah claiming she was too old to be used by God or Jeremiah claiming he was too young, God rejected their excuses. "Don't say that," the Lord replied, "for you must go wherever I send you and say whatever I tell you. And don't be afraid of the people, for I will be with you and take care of you."
Maybe you’ve believed that you needed a special "call" from God, and you’ve been waiting for some supernatural feeling or experience, but God has already stated his call repeatedly. We’re all called to fulfill God’s five purposes for our lives: to worship, to fellowship, to grow like Christ, to serve, and to be on mission with God in the world. God doesn’t want to use just some of his people; he wants to use all of his people.We’re all called to be on-mission for God. He wants his whole church to take the whole gospel to the whole world.
If you want to be like Jesus, you must care about what he cares about most; you must have a heart for the whole world! You can’t be satisfied with just your family and friends coming to Christ. There are over six billion people on earth, and Jesus wants all his lost children found. The Great Commission is your commission, and doing your part is the secret to living a life of significance. Jesus said, "Only those who throw away their lives for my sake and for the sake of the Good News will ever know what it means to really live!"
Rise up in FAITH by being involved in the Harvest. (END)

LESSON 2
A Vision to Conquer The World
The 21st Century Church is the one in which pastors will be in a position of responsibility that would demand from them greater effort. This will make them work having a business perspective, since the church is the most important enterprise for any nation. What methods will you be using to train the leaders of the future? What plan will you be using on evangelizing your city and your country?
The vision that the Lord has given us is a vision to reach whole nations to conquer the world for Christ. In the new millenium, the church will move on conquering people with full-prepared leaders targeting on the core of the home.
We are living through the best moments of spiritual harvest. We are experiencing special days for the conquest of our nations (Psalm 2:7-8). The GROUP of 12 system and Small groups allow us to proclaim the Gospel and minister to our nation more effectively.
We have a great and powerful God which gives us everything abundantly. However, because of our hearts´ weaknesses, we see everything big, small and with limitations. We then mix the Word of God with doubts that reach our mind. But we have the chance of showing God´s vision has not been given to a specific group, but it is poured into all nations.
In Matthew 28:18, 19, the Lord gives us the Great Comission, inviting us to reach peoples, tribes, languages, and entire nations.
BRINGING THE CHURCH OUT OF A FOUR-WALL BUILDING
God wants to establish a spiritual revolution in His church and pour the living essence of His Spirit so every believer might know His power. The conquest of the nations means entering spiritual warfare (Joel 3:9, 10)
It is harvest time! We as church, are called to be part of the solution for each nation. We are conquerors; victorious people and full of faith, men and women of war.
By introducing the HOME CELL Vision, the principle of the GROUP of 12, and taking hold of the spiritual armor, we are conquering our nation and other nations for Christ. Doors are being opened; people are coming out of tradition into conquering, the fulfillment of the Great Commission.

LESSON 3
The Exponential Thinking Principle
What is this kind of thinking that stretches your faith?
It is the idea of adding a zero to your goal number. That’s exponential thinking!
It is thinking that is so big that you’re forced to completely depend on God, because you know you cannot reach your goal on your own power.
And this is the faith factor that caused so many thousands of churches to literally explode with new renewal, with new revival and new growth. Churches that had been plateaued for 10 and 20 and 30 years all of a sudden got off the launch pad because of Exponential Thinking.
This kind of faith will take your church beyond the realm of “what we’ve always done” or what we think we can do or even what did we do last time – “to a total place of dependence upon God for attempting something you’ve never done before”.
Now listen friend, if you only think in terms of what you think you can handle, or you think, we’ll just repeat what we did in the past, you’re going to limit what God wants to do in your life, in your church and in your community.
Today think exponentially about the number of people you will be praying for. The number of people you will be discipling. The number of people you will be reaching for the LORD. Believe God in greater ways than you’ve ever believed him before. This is not an easy thing. Believe him for more Small Groups in all our Networks and Congregations and Churches as far as Cagayan de Oro to Iloilo . Believe Him for increased attendance – lets go for a double in the next months to come. Believe God for greater offerings and faithful tithers. Believe God for more people coming to Christ. And let this Series stretch your faith, the faith of your leaders, and the faith of your members.
Let it challenge your creativity and strengthen your dependency upon God. \
LORD Jesus, fill me with your Spirit and let me believe in what you can do! I’m a believer and not a doubter! Hallelujah!

LESSON 4
Vision and Dreams
If a man understands what he is, he will desire to know how he can grow in his faith factor capabilities. If the Holy Spirit has come to lead us and guide us into all truth, how does He operate?
The age of the Holy Spirit began on the day of Pentecost. Peter preached his first message the day that the Holy Spirit came in clear manifestation. His text was from Joel 2: "And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams" (Acts 2:17, KJV).
Dreams and visions are very similar in nature. Young men have a tendency to envision the future; old men naturally dream about the past. However, both dreams and visions work within the framework of the imagination.
Before we can understand how visions and dreams operate, we should understand something about the framework within which they operate: the imagination.
The Imagination: the Soul of the Vision and Dream
In 2 Corinthians 10, Paul tells us that we are to walk in the Holy Spirit and not in the flesh. The King James Version uses the word "imagination" in the fifth verse. However, the word could be better translated "reasonings" or "logic." Paul does not mean that we should not reason, but he does tell us not to rely on our natural logic that has not been sanctified by the Holy Spirit. Our problems are greater than just natural ones and the solutions must be found by using our spiritual minds. "For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ" (2 Corinthians 10:4-5, NKJV).
Paul uses military language when referring to the realm of the imagination. The unregenerated mind uses natural reason which cannot understand spiritual things. Paul refers to these natural reasonings as strongholds of fortifications which the spiritual mind must bring down in order for the Christian to live victoriously.
When the Bible refers to the heart, it is referring to the area of our soul which comprises the imagination. Jesus said, "Let not your heart be troubled"(John 14:1, NKJV). (END)
