2. Our Vision We see a vast global movement of laymen comprised of millions of men being used mightily by God to bring this last great harvest through the outpouring of God’s Holy Spirit before the return of our Lord Jesus Christ.

3. In 2014, Dead Chapters will come alive Strong Chapters will do greater exploits Dead leaders will rise up from the dead and become a mighty army, expanding the frontiers of God’s Kingdom Eze 37

4. Remember The Vision is Men

5. PHASE 1: Recruiting or Re - recruiting the men PHASE 2: Equipping them with Knowledge & Power PHASE 3: Releasing them to fulfill the Vision

6. Every recruitment has pre-qualifications. God’s Army has too.  New Birth – In Christ  Baptism In The Holy Spirit Whatever happened to the old tradition of conducting interviews for prospective members! Find a way of revisiting these foundations across the Fellowship 1Ti 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 1Ti 4:2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron

7. What must these men be They must be in Christ Relationship (New birth or rededicated) Walking in him/with him Baptised and filled with the Holy Spirit Delivering divine agenda MemberscpsFRS

8. 1. Make a plan… To Monitor their Progress To Impart to the men To Teach the men who will further impart upon them and monitor them 2Ti 2:2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.

10. Equip them with information about…  Who they are in Christ  The FGBMFI Equip them with Holy Spirit Give them hands-on experience 2. Plan Content …

11. New Creatures in Christ Jesus Old things have passed away Called into the ministry and have the word of reconciliation They are ministers in the marketplace and FGBMFI is their personal ministry No laity/clergy dichotomy

12. In Christ, no disciple is left behind Ananias was ‘an ordinary disciple’, yet he led Saul *Paul) to the Lord. Paul, an apostle to the gentiles, went on to write half of the New Testament In FGBMFI, every member is a minister and a leader

13. “For it is from the head that the whole body, as a harmonious structure knit together by the joints with which it is provided, grows by the proper functioning of individual parts to its full maturity in love.” Eph 4:16 (JB Phillips) In a great army, every soldier finds his place and occupies it. Joel 2:7

14. They are God’s anointed foot soldiers They are not in any way inferior to full- time ministers who, in actual fact, are supposed to be coaches and trainers to the laymen, who are God’s foot soldiers

15. The FGBMFI is not a church. It is a unique ministry with Holy-Spirit inspired operational guidelines Expose them to regular training – classroom & on-the- job. Expose them to FGBMFI literatures.

16. Charles Price’s prophecy: “This Vision shall grow in God’s Power alone.” No officer of the Fellowship can function effectively without the baptism of the Holy Spirit Encourage them to covet and operate in the gifts of the Holy Spirit

17. Provide the men with opportunities for ministry. Ask them to MC, share vision, testify, pray for the sick, minister baptism in the Holy Sprit, prophesy… Coach and mentor the men in the Fellowship operations & the demonstration of Holy Spirit’s Power

18. Goal/Objective/  Programme  How will you measure impact? Who – which category When and how often? 3. Plan Structure… When and how often? How will you revise the plan?

19. As the one raising the army, you need to possess all the qualities aforementioned. That is: being born again, baptized in the Holy Spirit, knowledge of the Vision, flowing in and operating in the power of the Spirit.” COMPETENCE CHARACTERCHARISMA

20. COMPETENCE CHARACTER The ability to do things well. You must know what your followers know. And more. Competence in leadership – Vision, Mobilizing, Motivating, Planning… The qualities that attract people to you and make them committed to you. Like righteousness or living right, integrity, dependability, honesty, trustworthiness, humility, vision. Faithfulness, prayerfulness and leading by example.

21. CHARISMA The qualities that make people like you and follow as a leader. It could be natural or spiritual. It is that spark in you that ignites admiration of your followers. EG: Relationship skills, Speaking Skills, Commitment to your men. Gifts of the Holy Spirit. Your charisma will attract the men but it is your character that will make them stay and be committed.

22. Be A Role Model in the giving of resources – money, time & talents Say, “Let’s go.” Or, “Follow me as I follow Christ.” Be sold out to the Vision. Be passionate.

23. Carry the Fire of the Holy Spirit & the requisite anointing. Remember: The men can only contact the fire you carry

24. Habitually pray & prophesy into the lives of your men Even if your men started off as dead men like those in Ezekiel's valley of dry bones, they would be transformed into a great an. d mighty army. LET THE PROPHET IN YOU STAND UP
