Notes:
The Church is built and exist on God's promise in Matthew 16:18. The church has always been in existence.
The growth of the Church does not depend on the Pastor or members but everyone available to it.
The Church also observes a biological growth as a living organism, which children are born into the church to grow in number and otherwise; tho not truly christians yet but can be called traditional
Transfered growth, is a process in which members move from a particular church to another at certain times. This very growth does not allow a church to be maintained as the number of members varies from time to time.
It is the will of God for when ever we gather, we must grow and also observe Christian Maturity, as it is espected.
The growth of the church has a certain prices that must be met in order to enable the church to grow, and this prices are as follows:
Time - The time we spend in church or for church activities is a price to make the church grow
Financial contribution - The money you give helps the church to grow and expand financially, so failure in doing this takes the church backwards financially
Energy (Ability to function on certain tasks)
Knowledge - This is needed in the growth of the church
Obedience - When we obey, it helps in the growth of the house of God
Faithfulness - This is demanded of us christians to have faith and believe in God for the expansion of the church
- Trust
- Love
- Gifts
Bearing good fruits - This refers to the characters of members in the church, it is the price we must pay for the maintainance and expansion of the church.
We are all in Christ, and we are the branches, it is expected of us to act as branches in Christ and also bear good fruits, and this act comes with a special blessing from God.
Conclusion:
The spirit of God is ever ready to assist in the growth of the church, also, every bit of contributions shall never go unrewarded
As we contribute to the growth of the church, our business, family shall grow positively.
Let us all contribute to the growth of the church as this will enable us experience happiness individually.
