It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. You are the light of the world. A city th at is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify yo ur Father in heaven. Psalms 119:130. The entrance of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple.

3 hout relenting. You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No one engaged in warfare enta ngles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier. And also if anyone com petes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules. The hardworking farmer must be first to partake of the crops. Consider what I say, and may the Lord give you understanding in all things. Consolidating through care and bringing others to the fold. Submitting to higher authority. Acts 9: And when Saul had come to Jerusalem, he tried to join the disciples; but they were all afraid of him, and did not be lieve that he was a disciple. But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles. And he declared to them how he had seen the Lord on the road, and that He had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the n ame of Jesus. Let us pray for faithful consolidators.

He said to him again a second time, Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me? He said to Him, Yes, Lord; You know that I love You. He said to him, Tend My sheep. He said to him the third time, Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me? Peter was gri eved because He said to him the third time, Do you love Me? And he said to Him, Lord, You know all things; You kn ow that I love You. Jesus said to him, Feed My sheep. Discipleship team to train and develop others. Ezekiel 34: God, the True Shepherd For thus says the Lord God: Indeed I Myself will search for My sheep and seek them out. As a shepherd seeks out his flock on the day he is among his scattered sheep, so will I seek out My sheep and deliver them from all the places where they were scattered on a cloudy and dark day. Ezekiel 34:15. I will feed My flock, and I will make them lie down, says the Lord God.

Matthew 9:36-10:1. But when He sawthe multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scatt ered, like sheep having no shepherd. Then He said to His disciples, The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.

8 Day th Jan * The cell is the building block of the church * Fervent prayer is the oil of the vision (the basis for the success of the cell). * The cell is the vehicle through which the anointing of the Holy Spirit is released to every member. * Church members and People serving in the church to belong to cells Commitment to Prayer, Fasting. Isaiah 58:1-14 Fasting that Pleases God Cry aloud, spare not; Lift up your voice like a trumpet; Tell My people their transgression, And the house of Jacob thei r sins. Yet they seek Me daily, And delight to know My ways, As a nation that did righteousness, And did not forsae th e ordinance of their God. They ask of Me the ordinances of justice; They take delight in approaching God Why have we fasted, they say, and You have not seen? Why have we afflicted our souls, and You take no notice? In fact, in the day of your fast you find pleasure, And exploit all your laborers, Indeed you fast for strife and debate, And to strike with the fist of wickedness. You will not fast as you do this day, To make your voice heard on high. Is it a fastt hat I have chosen, A day for a man to afflict his soul? Is it to bow down his head like a bulrush, And to spread out sack cloth and ashes? Would you call this a fast, And an acceptable day to the Lord? Is this not the fast that I have chosen : To loose the bonds of wickedness, To undo the heavy burdens, To let the oppressed go free? And that you break every yoke? Is it not to share your bread with the hungry And that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out; When you see the naked, that you cover him, And not hide yourself from your own flesh? Then your light shall break forth like the morning, Your healing shall spring forth speedily, And your righteousness shal l go before you; The glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard. Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer; You shall cry, and He will say, Here I am. If you take away the yoke from your midst, The pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness, If you extend your soul to the hungry And satisfy the afflicted soul, Then your light shall dawn in thedarkn ess, And your darkness shall be as the noonday. The Lord will guide you continually, And satisfy your soul in drought, And strengthen your bones; You shall be like a watered garden, And like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail. T hose from among you Shall build the old waste places; You shall raise up the foundations of many generations; And you shall be called the Repairer of the Breach, The Restorer of Streets to Dwell In. If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath, From doing your pleasure on My holy day, And call the Sabbath a delight, The holyd ay of the Lord honorable, And shall honor Him, not doing your own ways, Nor finding your own pleasure, Nor speaking your own words, Then you shall delight yourself in the Lord; And I will cause you to ride on the high hills of the earth, And feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father. The mouth of the Lord has spoken. Reclaiming the Altar: Intense prayer and fasting. (coming back to the Altar of worship. Intense training ( equipping the saints) Intense Evangelism.
