*DAILY DEW 2/JUNE/2023* *GROWTH DEMANDS TRAINING* (III) _Key Bible Text:_ *"Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables. Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business."* (Acts 6:2-3 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ God doesn't just want to add more men to you just so your building can be full; He wants men trained. If He knows that you don't have the men and the structure to make that happen, I put it to you, that God will only keep bringing them in trickles, in accordance with what you can handle at the moment. And if that doesn't satisfy you, then you would have to resort to all manner of gimmick, then you'll lose yourself, and there you are...doing all the things you had said you'd never do. So heed this counsel. Do what you must do, within proper scriptural boundaries. Ensure your local church is missions-minded. Be an evangelising church. Stay praying. Believe God for increase. But by all means, FOCUS ON THE TRAINING. Your primary attention must be on raising men who are trained enough to effectively disciple others. Pour all your energy into it. If you are evangelising, and you are praying, the people will come, first in trickles, then eventually in troops. It will happen! The few people that God is adding to you should be discipled by the few men you have trained. That's how the number of trained hands that you have will continue to increase. Steadily. And with that, more men to be discipled will come! _MEDITATION:_ *Church growth must translate into more faithful and trained men among committed members and workers, who can be entrusted with serious discipleship work.* *#Popoola_Oluwatobi* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_JUNE,2023* ❤ *#Guest_Message* Links To Visit: *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ https://www.facebook.com/thedavidgen/ https://www.facebook.com/THEREVIVALCORPS/ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.
