lessen 60

Howard Higashi
one on one
weep for believers

one sentence, visit or contact people regularly
visit is physical, face to face, Jesus, Paul did that, Paul in your home, change dynamics, soften people, change situations

dreaming gaining people, start visit people
when visit them not "come to meeting"

flexibility, you fit their schedule

two verses of Bible in the morning
one chapter in the evening




lesson 59

universal view
continue of last lesson

founder of navigator
Dawson Trotman

lack of great evangelist Billy Graham
can not followup
go to the church of your choice

child bearing one at a time, 9 moths....

take years for child can sustain for themselves

God's ordained way not just 4 steps
GNPB

not miraculous
daily
healthy state

I hate to exercise
force myself to do exercise
is life what you want to do?
bounded with two or three
build up this together

practically related, two or three contacts per week, 10 minutes is a contact
schedule two or three hours a week to contact people.

15% increase is minium
bear one fruit every two or three years
all saints bear always two or three persons in your care
33% increase

heart, endurance, patients, ... in 10 years, 2 or 3 remaining fruit in our hands
much more powerful than Billy Graham

people you gain this way will gain people in another way

build up a habit

necessity

psychological  logic change

natural way or traditional way

personally
takes month, year, ...patient way
the one takes longer ones, steady ones
quick way usually not trustworthy

knocking on door, personal contact
two or three under our care, no need to knock on new door
time, heart, energy
at least once a week

slothful servant, master said evil, not saying not effective.

budgeted way
disciplined way
you will see results, week by week

how about try God's way

lead person to get saved
pray to G and confess sins
save yourself again
you share the happiness with the new ones

forgot a verse, lost the time, oppertunity
forget heaven, earth, .... fate of this person is in your hand..

new one need to contact the Lord in the morning, ....
takes weeks and months to build up..

building habit without tell them

too much too soon, high peak truth boil them
they are spiritual babies






lesson 58

need to practice
need to review

critical module
if you do not contact people you are not an elder

saints spiritual condition should keep us at night

elder not just write checks....

Primary spiritual responsibility is to bear fruit
not just gospel activities

it is the entire process
knowing, receiving, believing, ... bear as new born, milk of the word,... in God's house, in meetings, serve the Lord, Rom 15:16 think that way when speaking gospel

energetic

now I am not bearing fruit, ...it is the time to seek the Lord..
as a leading one, you should have heart for gospel, speaking gospel, helping them to get saved, raise them up.....that process, if you do not have personal experience of that you are not qualified, some one cannot do that for you, you have to raise up a spiritual child...

I was never appointed, in the very beginning, small church, no check to sign, day in and day out just preaching gospel, new port beech (leave without pay) I quit for one year, open my home, gain many(no boast), that was the beginning of learning, 3 AM sitting in the car... get your hands dirty. what it means really gain someone

it's about people

branch bearing fruit (remaining fruit) is real service.

no wood no house

when you are appointed elders, you need to fast, not to celebrate
not appointed to sign checks, announcement..

contact and introduce myself to every saint in the church
not new elders have arrived
not a new boss now, shameful
saints, we need your prayer, needs your support

I need brothers full time doing it.

redeem the time, contact people.

Some churches Lord's day afternoon, ..go to park, 2 hours visiting saints

rain or shine...

easy say and not doing it

in your hear, this is not saved, ...that, heart for sinners, saints will sense that and church becomes people loving church...

rescue the perishing care for the dying

let gospel preaching not for work, but extend of our heart

must find a way to save more sinners

atheist, humanist

gospel booklets

Napoleon, I conquer the world, ...some good illustration

Lord Jesus in different styles different ways, discern people, lots of gospel preaching goes no where

lots of skills involved, from learning

Watchman Nee got people saved, in much contacting people, discerning ways to gain person
