The best days are ahead! Today, I will be counselling potential cell leaders, incoming SOL 2 students from 1pm-7pm. Last Monday, I counselled from 4pm to 12am. Tiring but fulfilling! But these are exciting days seeing people all out for the ministry! Willing to be equipped and trained for the cause of being great cell leaders. I challenged them to become full-packaged cell leaders:
1. High Academic Standing in School of Leaders
2. To be morally upright
3. To have high moral standing at home, school, work places and in church
4. To bear fruit
5. To be deep in devotions and prayer
6. To be faithful in tithing
Just imagine how the Kingdom of God will expand if cell leaders are raised like these. I am really excited, more cell leaders are gonna be raised, more, more! New batch of people will be starting cells this year!
Multitudes doesnt come easy! They are a result of tears, hard work and investment. It will take us years to labor, even life time to disciple multitudes. 1 soul is worth our time. Discipleship is investment. They are not numbers. They are people.
We need to raise leaders who will disciple the multitudes, this is not hard but not easy at the same time. Exciting!
I am living in the best days of history!

Prayer of Three Strategy
Why prayer of three?
A. Prayer Releases Life.
I can’t imagine a month without prayer. Prayer is bringing them to life. Jesus, before he called his 12, already called them in prayer. Prayer is a lifestyle! Prayer brings life.
B. Intentional Winning.
Si Jesus alam niya ang lalapitan niya, ito yung mga nilaga niya sa prayer! Intentional niya na na-win! We cannot save souls if we will not make it intentional.
C. Church Mobilization.
Prayer of three is in support of the church’s vision to win souls and make disciples.
a. SOL 1 cannot step to SOL 2 unless they have three souls – ito ang support!
b. SOL 2 cannot enter SOL 3 unless they have cells – ito ang support!
c. SOL 3 cannot graduate unless they have their 12 – ito ng support!
D. A Spark that will Ignite a Revolution.
It is the starting point of campus revolution. It is the starting point of city invasion. I remember when I went to Singapore, there was a testimony of four young people praying for their classmates to be saved. In two years, they were able to grow from 4 to 300 strong cell members. They became a spark which ignited a revolution.
• How do we do it? Some instructions came from Pastor Cesar Castellanos from his book, The Ladder of Success:
1. The leader who is planning to open a cell, for example in the campus, or planning to multiply his or her cell should join two other people to pray. We call this group of three as prayer partners.
2. Each person chooses three people they know to receive Christ as their Lord and Savior.
3. The group shares the names of the people; they can be friends, classmates, co-workers, neighbors or anyone they know. The list will consist of nine people.
4. The whole congregation meets at Prayer Works every Tuesday at 5am for sanctification, building up of faith and prayer and to fire up every hearts for the cause. (To all History Makers network from other churches, before you start doing prayer works on your own, you need to experience it first, whether you want to attend ours located at Kamias Quezon City or the one where it originated from at San Fernando, Pampanga, it doesn’t matter.)
5. Prayer Partners also meet once a week for four weeks to ask God to save these people. The time of prayer can also be before/after cell. If prayer partners are classmates they can meet every morning before the class. The point is to set aside time of prayer for the salvation of these people.
6. Pray every morning or every night after your personal devotional time with the Lord.
7. There is a manual called to be used weekly for four weeks. This serves as our topic and guide for our prayer works, prayer partners meeting and our personal prayers. There are scriptures in the guide which you can look at, pray along with, agree with and claim together as a group or alone. This is called praying through the scriptures strategy.
8. Some of the important things to remember when you are praying are: fasting, intercession and spiritual warfare. Spiritual Warfare is binding every adversary by applying the blood of Jesus against any spirit that opposes the Gospel. You should pray for God to give them conviction of sin and lead them to repentance.
• After thirty days of Prayer:
1. Visit/Bless by meeting their needs
2. Invite him/her formally to any of these meetings: a. Cell Meetings b. Church Meeting c. Harvest Events

Post – Churchquake
Madami sa atin sunog na sa apoy na natanggap sa Churchquake. Last May, a great Churchquake spirit has been released. But remember, kaya may apoy dahil may malaking misyon. Remember na hindi drugs o stimulant ang Holy Spirit. He is our power to do the great commission. May malaking apoy dahil may malaki kang gagawin.
At the end of the event, Pastora Vicky Sebastian (our network leader) campaigned for each of us to pray for three. We seek the Lord for weeks of what he wants us to specifically do.
I will mobilize you for a great Church Quake that will expand our church, the Kingdom of God. It will affect your campuses, your neighborhoods and your families. Things will never be the same again.
God’s Word Revealed
• Ezekiel: A Prophet at Israel’s Darkest Times
Let me share to you a little background about Ezekiel’s life. Isa siya sa libo-libong na-deport from Judah to Babylon. Isa siya sa mga hinuli ni Nebuchadnezzar noong na-invade nila ang bansang Judah. Isa siya sa dalawang matitinding propheta sa captivity – ang isa ay si Daniel. He was a prophet in Israel’s darkest times.
Yes, patay na ang bansa. But God led him to prophesy to the dead nation. The first vision that he received was the vision of the glory of God: Man, Eagle, Ox, and Lion that was in Chapter 1:4-5.
Everything can be resurrected only by the glory of God. In Chapter 1, we’ll read that Ezekiel immediately saw the glory of God which is the answer to the dying nation. Every time it is revealed, the impossible can live. The glory of God is the answer.
The Good news for all of us is: Ezekiel’s vision is not just about a nation to be resurrected from the dead, but it’s also about the whole human race.
• Ezekiel and the Dry Bones
Pero hindi diyan nagtatapos ag istorya. If you’ll look at Chapter 37, you’ll see that God led Ezekiel’s spirit to a valley full of dry bones.
He was led by the spirit to a valley and it was full of bones. God led him back and forth, and he saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry. Posible pang mabuhay siguro ang katulad ni Lazarus na apat na araw nang patay. Pero ito DRY BONES! Hindi lang ito patay, natuyong buto na. Nagkalasan na ang mga parte ng katawan nito. Inanonod na kung saan-saan. Isang lugar na punong-puno hindi ng bangkay pero natuyong buto. May mga lugar ba kayong alam na may mga tuyong buto?
Sementeryo.
Church niyo tuyo na.
Campuses niyo punong-puno niyan.
Tatay at nanay mo hindi lang bangkay, tuyong tuyo na.
Pero si Lord minsan nakakabaliw. Tinanong niya si Ezekiel, “Son of man can these bones live?”Hindi niya sinabi na hindi niya alam. Pero ito ang sagot ni Ezekiel, “You alone know.”
Pambihirang sagot. Ibinalik kay Lord! Naghahanap ang Diyos ng mga taong ituturo sa kanya lahat ng sagot.
I know deep in my heart, He is showing you a place full of dry bones. Asking you can these bones live? Sana ang sagot mo hindi ang mga ito:
Lord ang tigas ng ulo nito mukhang impossible na…
Lord sarado catholiko na to impossible na…
Lord anak to ni Satanas, impossible na…
Mahihirapang gumalaw ang Diyos sa sagot mo. Sana tulad ka ni Ezekiel na sumagotng, “LORD, ALAM MO LAHAT!”
It’s not a word of doubt; it’s a word of faith!
University of the Philippines – LORD, ALAM MO LAHAT
Ateneo de Manila University – ALAM MO LAHAT
Quezon City – ALAM MO LAHAT
Santos Family – ALAM MO LAHAT
Vice Ganda – ALAM MO LAHAT
Barkada mo - ALAM MO LAHAT
And once that password is released, that’s it!
1. “Prophesy to these bones” –v4
Speak to them. Remember na dry bones na ito. No hope, no life. But the first instruction of Gd is to prophesy – to preach. To speak directly to the bones.
A. “Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.” –v4-5
We should have the guts to speak to these people para marinig nila ang salita ng Dios. Bakit? Dahil dito kayo magkakabuhay because the Word of God is the best antidote for death. It is the only remedy. It is the only cure!
Walang macoconvert pag hindi tayo nagsalita maniwala ka! Prophesy means to preach with life. Magpreach ka ng may buhay. The word of God is full of life! You don’t know the power of what you are holding right now. There’s no life apart from the WORD!
B. “I will make breath enter you and you will come to life.” – v5
Every time the word of God is shared to these dry bones, yung hininga ng Dios pumapasok sa kanilang pagkatao. And eventually brings life to their entire being. Dito sila nacoconvert. Dito sila nagkakabuhay.
C. “I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin.”
Tatlong bagay ang gagawin Niya:
1. I will attach tendons to you.
Tendons – tough band connecting muscle to the bone / connective tissue.
2. And make flesh.
Muscles – gagawa na Siya ng muscles at laman.
3. And cover you with skin.
- Gagawa na Siya ng skin o balat na top layer ng laman.
To be honest with you imposible ito. Pero in the verse after the word was released, eto yung mababasa natin:
“As I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bone to bone. I looked, and tendons and flesh appeared on them, but there was no breath in them.” – vv. 7-8
Nabuhay! Nagkaroon ng katawan pero wala pang buhay… kaya hindi ka pa dapat matuwa…… may kasunod pa….
2. “Prophesy to the Breath” - v9
Pangalawang preaching na natin is direct to the breath.Ezekiel was instructed to prophesy to the body. Body na ito pero walang buhay. Pinatarget na sa kanya yung hininga. Tandaan natin hindi buhay pag walang hininga.
A. “Come from the four winds, O breath and breathe into the slain, that they may live.”
Mabubuhay lang ang tao kapag tinarget mo sa hininga nila. Target their spirit with the Spirit of God.
B. “So, I prophesied and he commanded me, and breath entered them, they came to life and stood up on their feet – a vast army.” –v10
Eto yung kapag yung nasharen natin tapos nadala mo sa encounter, tatayo yun sa sarili nilang paa. Nagulat si Ezekiel, army pala. Hindi converts, hindi belivers, hindi leaders lang – ARMY pala.
A VAST ARMY STOOD UP ----------------
FROM DRY BONES TO A MIGHTY ARMY!
Parang imposible? Eh ikaw nga na galing sa alikabok binuhay! I want to tell you that it is not you but it is God. For Christ’s sake who desire to make these dry bones live.
Every time you will share to people, go directly to their needs (breath). Every time you will witness to people, always touch their souls. Every time you will preach the gospel, speak to the dead spirit of the person (mabubuhay ka!). Do not speak without the breath of God and that is the Holy Spirit. See to it that your spirit and His spirit will connect.
• In Search of Ezekiels
“Then he said to me, Son of man these bones are the whole house of Israel.” – v11
This is the most exciting part. Yung mga bones pala is the whole house of Israel.
bahay pala siya – pamilya
bansa pala siya - Israel
Tahanan ng mga bansa pala ang bubuhayin natin! Kaya ng Dios ang lambak ng isang patay na bansa ay mabuhay kapag may nagprophesy. Huwag mong sabihin sa akin na, “Imposible na nanay ko,” “Impossible na tatay ko,” “Impossible na mga kaklase ko,” “Impossible na officemates ko,” Imposible.
If you’re telling me the end time is near, then we need to be intentional in winning. kaya buhayan na ito ng patay!
We are now about to enter a month of prayer called the Prayer of Three. It will release life as we ready them in prayer and prophesy to our lost loved ones and friends. We will witness how God attach their tendons and make flesh cover them in the Spirit. After a month of prayer, we will come to them and will preach to their breath the Word of God and they will stand like a vast army.
We will be in the point of being shocked if they didn’t get saved!
The Lord is looking for EZEKIELS! Magandang madami kayo pero baka mas magandang mag-isa ka lang prophesying to your campus.
When was the last time you prophesied to your parents? When was the last time you prophesied to your campus? When was the last time you prophesied for our nation?
Pray and preach to them!
Today, the Lord is giving you a vision of a valley full of dry bones. It may be your home, your campus or your work place. And He is asking you the same question, "Can these bones live?"
What is your answer? Today, pray that God will use you mightily for three spiritually dead persons to live. If you have faith, they will!

Good Morning Holy Spirit!
Thank you for your visitation this morning! Thank you for working through Pastor Leleng Ilmedo. We had a great Prayer Works with You. You want us to be consecrated and circumcised for our great conquest this July. Wala kahit isa ang gusto mong may kasalanan or the whole group will suffer. Tulungan mo akong gibain ito bago pumasok ang July! I want all as in all of our members will be CONSECRATED. You alone can do it God. Pack us with the power of your Spirit to preach the message of consecration to the whole church!
Last night, we had a blast! Thank you Lord! We launched our Prayer of Three Strategy at Radiance of Christ and mobilized around 500 to 600 to do two seasons of Church Quake until December! I preached about Ezekiel when his spirit was led by God to a valley full of dry bones asking him if these bones can possibly live. The answer of Ezekiel released a password of faith, God gave him keys how to make those bones alive and at the end of the story a VAST ARMY STOOD UP! Our faith were boosted up! Then I shared about the strategy and its mechanics. It was clear as crystal clear and everyone was geared up for a great revolution!
Thank you Lord, we're getting there fulfilling all the prophesies, visions and promises you released last January!
You are our Commander-in-Chief! Holy Spirit, I have grieved you so many times but I want you to know, ikang ang buhay ko! I love you!

Change the Campus Change the World
Thoughts and Insights: Change the campus, change the world.
“If we could change the campus today, we could change the world tomorrow! Changing the world means focusing on the campus,” says Pastor Oriel Ballano during the Campus Revolution Conference at Cuneta Astrodome last June 18, 2011.
Aside from the fact that young people are the prime movers of today, don’t forget that they are also the front liners of tomorrow. The future presidents, senators, media practitioners, doctors, architects & engineers, fathers & mothers are all found in the campus. They will shape and lead the nation tomorrow. The future is in their hands! So we need to put our focus, effort, and even our resources on them.
I can say that the campus is in the top 10 hit list of Satan to annihilate and devastate mankind. He knows that if he destroys the campus, he has already won. Like what Pastor Oriel shared, the final frontier is in the campus. Try to think about it, if the media (which I think is in the number 1 list of Satan to destroy humanity) could have godly, convinced, and committed Christian practitioners in the future, the battle has already been won for God. And again, they are all found in the campuses, nowhere else.
Yes, I agree that it is unimaginable to see pastors with a passion for the youth but is never committed in the campus. This is overlooked and we need to change this. Fraternities must be eradicated even activists who are just like clanging cymbals must be shut off. We cannot change the world with passionate ranting. Christians must invade campuses. Darating ang araw mawawasak sila kasi papasok na tayo sa campus! We must produce godly students who will die for the cause of loving God, winning souls and making disciples!
Pastor Oriel shares two things. I’ll enumerate it and share my insights and add one more point.
1. Join the cause. Let’s change the youth. They are the hope of the world. A lot of us love to be supporters, spectators and watchers of the cause. But for Christ’s sake join the cause! Quit being the fans club of Jesus! Be the star player! Do not just watch history unfold, make history.
Wala ng sitting ministry…
Wala ng tither lang…
Wala ng intercession lang..
Walang ng supporters lang…
Join the cause!
2. Live the cause. Walk your talk. Live what you preach. 1 Timothy 4:16 says “Watch your life and doctrine closely.” Don’t be immorally inconsistent of teaching one thing and practicing another. Partner words with deeds. The world needs examples not mere exhorters. Charisma cannot change the world, integrity will.
Walang ng mangongopya….
Wala ng magnanakaw…
Walang ng pa yosi-yosi…
Walang ng sinungaling…
Wala na munang ligawan…
Iwanan na muna ang boyfriend at girlfriend…
Seryoso wala ng DOTA!
Wala ng tatamad tamad…
Wala ng sasagot sa magulang…
Mag-aral mabuti. Pwede bang campus changer pero babagsak-bagsak?
To be honest, I am a number one enemy of compromisers! They can never be used by God mightily, never. Compromisers will never ever change the world. Jesus hates them, I hate them! I don’t waste my time talking to them. I don’t even mingle with them. They are my greatest enemy!
3. Die for the cause. I suggest if you wanna live your life to the fullest, look for something to die for. As Pastor Manny had said “Di ka pa nabubuhay kung di mo alam saan ka mamatay.” And the only cause worth dying for is Jesus Christ because it is the only cause that will impact eternity. Jesus Christ was the greatest example of this when he died on the cross. “Ang mamatay ng dahil sayo…”
If you want to join the cause:
1. Get equipped. It’s unthinkable for a 13-year old girl who has the passion to be a doctor is allowed to handle an operation in the emergency room. No, it will be a total wreck for the patient. She needs to be equipped. It is the same thing with discipleship. If you want to start a cell, don’t be in a hurry. Passion is never an indication of success but passion along with training is. Many Pastors get overwhelmed when a person who has gone through an Encounter wants to start a cell already and they are allowing it. Yes, that person is passionate but it’s too soon for him. He must be trained. Don’t be in a rush, be equipped. Don’t deprive a new Christian to be spiritually nurtured no matter how fiery and passionate they may be.
“Don’t be in any rush to become a teacher, my friends. Teaching is highly responsible work. Teachers are held to the strictest standards.” James 3:1 (The Message)
Even the 12 disciples of Jesus underwent 3 years of training. After the training has been done packed with the power of the Holy Ghost, they started preaching the gospel and were used in ways they’ve never thought possible! They became world changers.
If you are a new Christian and wants to join the cause, undergo the process: Encounter, trainings and School of Leaders. And I’ll tell you, you will be used in ways beyond human mind can reach!
2. Get mobilized – It doesn’t end in training; in fact you are being trained to get mobilized. Know how, why, who, where and when. This season is exciting because the Lord gave us a strategy to become intentional in winning and starting cells in the campuses. Intentional winning is the key. Last June 21 from 6 to 9pm we launched our strategy called “The Prayer of Three”. We gathered at Radiance of Christ International, almost 500 committed leaders came. All School of Leaders students were mobilized for this campaign. Keep in mind, yes, you are being trained but remember you must be mobilized to make this happen!
3. Be consistent – Finish what you’ve started. Finish the race. Be stable. Be reliable. Be unwavering. Be immovable. Be unstoppable. You can be the most passionate person on earth like shooting stars soaring high and blazing hot for Jesus and – just disappear. TRAGIC! Boy, you’re a crap! You’re the biggest loser. Jesus doesn’t deserve inconsistent people because he is consistent even to the point of death, he never gave up. The disciples lose their heads but never gave up. If your foundation is your feelings and emotions better quit this cause because you can be a major distraction.
Be consistent. Campus ministry is gonna be tough. Starting and maintaining and growing a cell is gonna be hard, but if there’s no pain, there will be no gain! Even Jesus, our all powerful Messiah, suffered – a lot.
I am seeing people planting cells in their campuses. Forget about putting up a campus organization, it will follow later. Start crying for your closest friends in school. Start winning them. Open a cell. Plant a seed, water it, take care of it and it will grow like a tree bearing much fruit!
We’ve been doing campus invasions and classroom evangelisms for years now, in fact majority of our members in History Makers were won in campuses and I can testify that the Spirit of God is strongly moving there! We need to forcefully advance the Kingdom of God by being intentional this time and you will see right before your very eyes students crying and surrendering their lives for Jesus – willing to be discipled and sent for the cause!
Special mention to all our School of Leaders students, you are all world changers! I know you can do better than the previous generation! Its time for you to make history and witness God's mighty hand through you. Change your campus. Change the world.
“If we could change the campus today, we could change the world tomorrow! Changing the world means focusing on the campus,” says Pastor Oriel Ballano during the Campus Revolution Conference at Cuneta Astrodome last June 18, 2011.
Aside from the fact that young people are the prime movers of today, don’t forget that they are also the front liners of tomorrow. The future presidents, senators, media practitioners, doctors, architects & engineers, fathers & mothers are all found in the campus. They will shape and lead the nation tomorrow. The future is in their hands! So we need to put our focus, effort, and even our resources on them.
I can say that the campus is in the top 10 hit list of Satan to annihilate and devastate mankind. He knows that if he destroys the campus, he has already won. Like what Pastor Oriel shared, the final frontier is in the campus. Try to think about it, if the media (which I think is in the number 1 list of Satan to destroy humanity) could have godly, convinced, and committed Christian practitioners in the future, the battle has already been won for God. And again, they are all found in the campuses, nowhere else.
Yes, I agree that it is unimaginable to see pastors with a passion for the youth but is never committed in the campus. This is overlooked and we need to change this. Fraternities must be eradicated even activists who are just like clanging cymbals must be shut off. We cannot change the world with passionate ranting. Christians must invade campuses. Darating ang araw mawawasak sila kasi papasok na tayo sa campus! We must produce godly students who will die for the cause of loving God, winning souls and making disciples!
Pastor Oriel shares two things. I’ll enumerate it and share my insights and add one more point.
1. Join the cause. Let’s change the youth. They are the hope of the world. A lot of us love to be supporters, spectators and watchers of the cause. But for Christ’s sake join the cause! Quit being the fans club of Jesus! Be the star player! Do not just watch history unfold, make history.
Wala ng sitting ministry…
Wala ng tither lang…
Wala ng intercession lang..
Walang ng supporters lang…
Join the cause!
2. Live the cause. Walk your talk. Live what you preach. 1 Timothy 4:16 says “Watch your life and doctrine closely.” Don’t be immorally inconsistent of teaching one thing and practicing another. Partner words with deeds. The world needs examples not mere exhorters. Charisma cannot change the world, integrity will.
Walang ng mangongopya….
Wala ng magnanakaw…
Walang ng pa yosi-yosi…
Walang ng sinungaling…
Wala na munang ligawan…
Iwanan na muna ang boyfriend at girlfriend…
Seryoso wala ng DOTA!
Wala ng tatamad tamad…
Wala ng sasagot sa magulang…
Mag-aral mabuti. Pwede bang campus changer pero babagsak-bagsak?
To be honest, I am a number one enemy of compromisers! They can never be used by God mightily, never. Compromisers will never ever change the world. Jesus hates them, I hate them! I don’t waste my time talking to them. I don’t even mingle with them. They are my greatest enemy!
3. Die for the cause. I suggest if you wanna live your life to the fullest, look for something to die for. As Pastor Manny had said “Di ka pa nabubuhay kung di mo alam saan ka mamatay.” And the only cause worth dying for is Jesus Christ because it is the only cause that will impact eternity. Jesus Christ was the greatest example of this when he died on the cross. “Ang mamatay ng dahil sayo…”
If you want to join the cause:
1. Get equipped. It’s unthinkable for a 13-year old girl who has the passion to be a doctor is allowed to handle an operation in the emergency room. No, it will be a total wreck for the patient. She needs to be equipped. It is the same thing with discipleship. If you want to start a cell, don’t be in a hurry. Passion is never an indication of success but passion along with training is. Many Pastors get overwhelmed when a person who has gone through an Encounter wants to start a cell already and they are allowing it. Yes, that person is passionate but it’s too soon for him. He must be trained. Don’t be in a rush, be equipped. Don’t deprive a new Christian to be spiritually nurtured no matter how fiery and passionate they may be.

One the Way
June 18
I had a great meeting with my 24. We did evaluation and assessment for our people. New believers are sure to be undergoing the process soon. Plus we have this campaign called "Prayer of Three" that will make us intentional in our soul winning. Hundreds, I am confident, will be added in our church before this year ends.
With this in mind, we need to be dedicated in raising up solid, committed, convinced band of disciples through School of leaders. I am encountering sleepless nights, I am excited to raise up leaders. Faythe, Faythe, Faythe, you better give your 1000%!!! 1000% + The Holy Spirit. Spirit make this happen! If you will leave us alone in leading these potential leaders, nothing will happen, but if it is you who will work, they will be used in ways we've never thought possible!
I believe if we will dedicate our time to win and disciple more people... God's kingdom will grow through our church! We need men and women full of spirit and wisdom to do this. I believe in my heart that the Lord will be ordaining my 24 to establish and expand the Kingdom of God plus the men and women of my mom and dad. I am praying for them with tears because they represent each network!
Lord, so many things to do. But I believe that the Holy Spirit is doing the work!
One man filled with the Spirit is better than a hundred committees, which 'keep minutes but lose hours.' -Reinhard Bonkee
I'll be in Campus Revolution tomorrow, let my ear be sharpened to hear your whisper in me through the event but help me not to be overwhelmed by the things taught there. But teach me to sit down, make an assessment and after that, apply the things you are prompting us to apply.

School of Leaders
We are entering another season of the year! Personally, I, together with our Pastors, will be putting all our energies to disciple our potential leaders, train them for the great commission! To save people is one thing and to disciple them until Christ is formed in them is another thing! We can be overwhelmed by the number of souls coming, but what’s more exciting is when they are being raised as leaders! Leadership is INVESTMENT.
Our school will be commencing on June 25, 2011. Two months of training under the anointing of the Holy Spirit. He will be the School Director and Professor empowering disciples for the work of the ministry. What's more exciting is that all our students will not just enter a classroom, their minds will be challenged, their faith will be stretched, their bodies will be pushed to action as they witness how powerful scriptures are partnered by the mighty move of the Holy Ghost.
SOL will be an experience they will never forget provided that they are willing and hungry. Yes, it is a basic requirement to attain the spirit of aggressiveness; they fight to grow and are willing to pay the price of maturity! Practical examples are, let’s say, they are never absent every week or they do self studying, with this, surely they will reap a great destiny!
Look at Jesus, in his early age, he was not found in streets playing. In fact in one scenario of His life, His parents were anxiously looking for Him, and when they couldn't find Him after three days, they were amazed to see him in church studying with LEADERS! In Luke 2:46 "After three days they found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions". Three action words of leaders in the making: They SIT, they LISTEN and and they ASK questions.
When Jesus was asked what was He doing inside the temple, let me paraphrase what He boldly answered, "I am being prepared to handle God's business in the future!" And what was the result of His aggressiveness? "And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor of God and men" Luke 2:52. If Jesus, our Lord, loved training, what do you think is expected of us? You need to be trained!
It is God's will for you to be influential, powerful and contagious! You are about to put to work! A great destiny is ahead of you! The Lord is looking for skillful workers that will gather, preserve and disciple the harvest. Invest in training and not only that, I say, study and meditate the Bible day and night, be spirit-led people committed to prayer and fasting, have generous hands and cheerful heart to give, open your eyes wide open for the vision of the multitudes! Time will be too short for your training but you will be used in ways you've never imagined!

Love Burns like a blazing fire!
Place me like a seal over your heart,
like a seal on your arm;
for love is as strong as death,
its jealousy unyielding as the grave.
It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame.
Many waters cannot quench love;
rivers cannot wash it away.
Songs of Songs 8:6-7
(My disciple Joy, shared this verse powerfully during our Prayer Works today!)
