The Vision of G12
“Responsibility and Ownership”
We must take ownership: over our family, the vision, as a G12/life group leader…
A lot want blessings but don’t take ownership. GOD requires ownership.
You must take pride in doing. Unlike a renter who doesn’t take care of the property. You must rid yourself of a renter’s mentality. You must teach and help others to do the same.
“Your greatest growth in maturity is when you take ownership” - Dr. Goudeaux
Ownership is seen! There are only 2 groups of people in the church, Renters & Owners, we’re talking mentality. Renters take the path of least resistance. Owners go over & above to do something. It will cost something “to own”. Renters call the owner (Pastor) to do.
The Power of 1
PASTOR’S CHALLENGE: Each person take ownership of 1 new soul and disciple them into the ministry. Get 1 focused to run with the vision.
1 Corinthians 1:9-10
9 God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. 10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
Genesis 11:1
1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
All speak the same thing, no divisions, perfectly joined, same mind and in the same judgment (beliefs)
Philippians 2:1, 2
1 If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, 2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
If, If, If, If.
Verse 2 - Same love. 1 accord and 1 mind. Speak it and get it out there. Talk is cheap! You must do!
Philippians 1:27
27 Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;
Steadfast in 1 spirit, 1 mind, striving together…
Genesis 11:1-4
1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. 2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. 3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter. 4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
Whole earth was 1 language, 1 speech.
Verse 2 - they, they, they (circle “they”)
Verse 3 - they said to one another “go to, let us build us a city”
We should be saying the same in G12.
Genesis 11:5-7
5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. 6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. 7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.
Verse 5-The Lord came down to see the city (vision). Remember this group was unsaved.
Verse 6- The Lord said the people is 1, all having 1 language, this they begin, nothing will be restrained.
Verse 7 is what satan has been doing to us, confounding our speech, thus no one can understand each other. We must be 1.
Let us build us!
