About the Author
At The Cross
Oh Lord You has searched me, you know my way.
Even when I fail You I know You love me
Your holy presence , Surrounding me. In every
season, I know You love me
I know You love me
At the cross I bow my knee , Where Your blood was
she'd for me. There's no greater love than this. You
have overcome the grave. Your glory fills the highest
place. What can separate me now
You go before me , You shield my way, Your hand
upholds me, I know You love me . You tore the veil.
You made a way. When You said that it is done
And when the earth fades , Falls from my eyes And
You stand before me , I know You love me , I know
You love me
Introduction
A NEW WAVE IN SPREADING GOD’S WORD AND
LEADERSHIP. G12 was developed by Pastor César
Castellanos after visiting with Pastor David Yonggi Cho, who had
successfully implemented a cell-group structure in the Yoido Full
Gospel Church in South Korea. With about 1,000,000 members in
2007, Yoido is the largest Protestant Christian congregation in the
world. Pastor César returned to his church, Misión Carismática
International in Bogotá, Colombia, with the revelation that he
received from God while he was in South Korea — that God had
given him a vision which would increase the number of Christian
believers and help him to care for the growing numbers of people.
The aim of the G12 Vision is to form disciples with a Christ-like
character who in turn will 'go and make disciples' as commanded by
Jesus. Through prayer, encounters with God, teaching, support and
encouragement, disciples are then encouraged to also make disciples.
In both theory and example this process leads the church to
grow exponentially, without losing accountability of Christian
values due to the eventual size of the church.
Originally, God is the one who started this G12 when he
chooses his 12 Apostles. My research will only focus on showing
the activities made by the G12. How those 12 were trained and
how they will train other. Also some interview with the 12
disciples experience with G12.
All religions have their own way in spreading God’s word,
the Born Again Christian think of this strategy by our God
almighty in making the people disciple. We have our own
experience in God, an experience that will never forget that makes
our life better, an experience that change our life in on glance. G12
writes Jesus said, "Make disciples" (See Matthew 28:19-20). He
did not just tell us to evangelize or to get decisions. People who
accept the gospel and believe must be disciple. They must be
taught, shaped and formed into the image of Jesus. The Church
often falls short of full obedience in this respect. Many people who
make decisions to become Christians are never truly disciple in the
paths of Christ. This must change, and we must all place full
obedience to Jesus' command on the highest level of our agenda as
people and as a church (Anonymous). This Government of 12
wanted to make the 12 Souls like the image of God. To be
successful in leaderships, a skill that can train another 12 souls
wherein if those 12 becomes a disciple and can pass to a longer
process in able to grow.
God wanted us to be safe from sin; he is the God that loves us
even if we commit sin. He always forgives. When I heard the word
G12, I don’t even get what is the true meaning. Even the word
Government of 12, I’d never imagine that it will be the meaning. One
of my church mates told me that it is the process to which the Pastor
or mentor will teach 12 individual to become disciple and after that
the 12 will also find their 12 souls. But I just ignore it and not even
think of the benefits that a G12 can give. Last Christmas which is in
2013, it was a Simbang Gabi when I’d realized the true meaning of
G12 and its benefits. It is very beneficial to an individual, to be a
good individual, believer, leader and a better son of God.
The
Building Blocks
of the
Government of 12
The house needs a foundation, a foundation that supports every
detailed in a house, the foundation that can be said as the thing or the
people itself like the Father and the Mother that builds up the
children. Just like our body we have the Skeletal System that
supports the body and the framework of the body. The Government
of 12 has its own building blocks and it seems to be the mentor or the
Pastor. They are the one who teaches that 12 individuals to be
disciple in able to come up their own 12 souls, the souls needs to be
disciple. If there were no mentor there were no souls to be disciple
that is why they are very important in this kind of strategy started by
our God. But all in all our God is the best mentor the best framework
and the very best building blocks in our life.
12 Disciples
John 6:45
"It is written in the prophets, `AND
THEY SHALL ALL BE TAUGHT OF
GOD.' Everyone who has heard and
learned from the Father comes to me.
Psalm 72: 13-14
He shall spare the poor and
needy, and shall save the
souls of the needy. He shall
redeem their soul from
deceit and violence: and
precious and their blood be
in his sight.
Psalm 86:1-5
Bow down thine ear, O
Lord, hear me: for I’ am poor and needy.
Preserve my soul; for I’ am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant
that trusteth in thee.
Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.
Rejoice the soul of thy servant; for unto the, O Lord, do I lift up my
soul.
For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy
unto all them that call upon thee.
Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall no want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; he leadeth me beside the
still waters.
He restoreth my soul; he
leadeth me in the path of
righteousness for his
name’s sake.
Yeah, I walk to the valley of
shadow and death, I will
fear no evil: for thou art
with me; thy rod and thy
staff they comfort me.
Thou prepare a table
before me in the presence
of mine enemies: thou
anointest my head with oil;
my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy
shall follow me all the days
of my life: and I will dwell
in the house of the Lord
forever.
Wisdom gained in
Government of 12
Proverbs 4:7
Wisdom is the
principal thing;
therefore set
wisdom: with all thy
getting get
understanding.
In Government of 12 it is very important to gained
knowledge about God’s word. The process will be useless if
the wisdom to be sent will be stopped.
“How can a wise men spread knowledge if there were no
wisdom in his mind.”
Knowledge that we get from school is nothing
compare to the knowledge that can we get in God’s word.
His message to us has a big role in our daily life. The
wisdom of a person is like a match, the match stick is us and
the match box is the source of knowledge, you can see a
match stick as a simple, but we don’t even think that a match
stick has many use, it can create a small fire that can grow
into a wild fire. But a match will not work if will not going
to scratch it into the match box. If we will going to do such
thing we will be useful in many ways. Just like we, if we
will not work to gained knowledge we will not be useful.
G12 will be a big help in the believer, the wisdom that they
can get can be transmitted into a process of teaching and
leaderships.
Lord I Offer my Life to You
All that I am, all that I have
I lay them down before you oh, Lord
All my regrets, all my acclaims
The joy and the pain, I’m making them yours
Lord I offer my life to you
Everything I’ve been through, use it for your glory
Lord I offer my days to you
Lifting my praise to you as a pleasing sacrifice
Lord I offer you my life.
Things in the past things yet unseen
Wishes and dreams that are yet to come true
All of my heart, all of my praise
My heart and my hands are lifted to you
Lord I offer my life to you
Everything I’ve been through, use it for your glory
Lord I offer my days to you
Lifting my praise to you as a pleasing sacrifice
Lord I offer you my life.
What can we give that you have not given?
And what do we have that is not already yours?
All we poses are these lives were living,
That’s what we give to you lord.
Every individual in the Govenrment of 12 is willing to offer
their life to our God, Every people in the world have their own way
of sacrificing life for one important people in ou life. But God worth
the special sacrifice, which is ou life, our life that follows in his
words and commandments. There are many aspects of our life that
we sacrifice, even though it is big or small. There are some peopel
who are willing and passionate to risk their ownlife because of love,
money, fame and many more. But God’s sacrifice is the special
sacrifice of all. As the John 3: 16 said, “For God so love the woeld
that he gave his only begotten son that he whoever beleives in him
should not persih but must ave everlasting life”. God give his own
life for us to be save in our sin. A sin that seperates God and the
people and only the death can break that sin, but because of the
statement in John 3:16 we are now safe from sin. We the people
need to sacrifice our life for God, when we start making good things,
when we ask fogiveness? When everything falls down, when its the
end of the world. Don’t waste time, make good things and make
peopel happy to make God happy. Don’t let our self be claim by the
evil. Save life through Government of 12.
2 Timothy 3:15–16
15 and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred
writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in
Christ Jesus. 16
All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for
teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness
Leadership is the best skill needed by the leaders. In
Government of 12, there’s a process that they need to be
trained as a leader. They are not only with the God’s
message but also to learn about leadership and to be
trained as a good leader, not only in the 12 Souls but also
to other forms of leaderships.
Faith
in
Government of 12
"Those who want to have a successful ministry must live in the realm of faith.
Only through faith is our relationship with God strengthened and we are able to
fulfil all our dreams. Faith operates outside our senses (Anonymous). It’s our
strong believe in God’s power, we are very pleased to have faith in God, it is very
important to know if you have faith in God. God is our savior; he never fails to
help us in times of difficulties and in the midst of our sorrow. Government of 12
boost or faith in God, it aims to make individual as an image of our God almighty.
It aims to spread God’s word through his start in coming up of his 12 disciples. If
you have faith in God you will not feel evil, you will feel that you were safe, and
the anger, insecurities will disappear only happy moments and life will come. If
you accept God as your savior your life will become better and you will feel like
you were in heaven, not the heaven feels by the drunken man, but the heaven with
God’s beautiful life for you, a life which is successful. It is born in the heart.
Generally, all human beings have the tendency to walk by sight and not by
faith. We rely on what we see, forgetting there is a spiritual realm that our eyes
don’t see. It does exist and is both real and eternal. Faith connects us to the
invisible and eternal world, where God’s government and celestial court is
found. Faith moves us out of human limitations and transports us to the threshold
of divine glory, where we leave our weakness and feebleness at the feet of the
cross in order to be clothed with the invincible strength of the Spirit of God
(Anonymous). We can connect in God through prayers, we can also feel God’s
presence through our dreams if we wanted to make every night meaningful and
blessed by God. Prayer is very strong; it is our communication in God. In modern
living of ours, we use technologies as a tool in Communication to other people, to
reach our love ones in far places. In present situation we have, facebook, twitter,
Instagram and many Social websites that connects every people in the world. But
those Websites is nothing compare to our connection with God which is the
Prayers and the giving of honor to our God through praise and worships. We
leave behind a world of failure and defeat to walk the solid streets of success and
prosperity, transform the absurd into something logical, the rotten and despised
into something useful and blessed for the world. Abraham only chose one path the
faith path. This opened up to him all the doors of success. He received strength to
overcome all obstacles and made a bridge between the possible and the
impossible. By faith, he could drink from the springs of life that made him young
and vigorous again and he could fly with the wings of the Spirit walking around
the celestial city, whose architect and constructor is God himself. He left the
blessing for his seed, which is Christ. And Christ extended it to all those who are
of the faith, that is to say, to those who have accepted Jesus in a personal way and
are living according to the God’s
Word (Anonymous). Prayers,
Faith, Wisdom, Worships,
Leaderships, Success and many
more can be claim if we choose
God as the savior of our Life. As
the songs says: “Jesus you are the
savior of my soul and forever and
ever I’ll give my praises to you”.
Leviticus 11:44-45
“For I am the
LORD your
God.
Consecrate
yourselves
therefore,
and be holy,
for I am
holy. And
you shall not
make
yourselves
unclean with
any of the swarming things that swarm on
the earth. `For I am the LORD who brought
you up from the land of Egypt to be your
God; thus you shall be holy, for I am holy.”

and life of an individual. It can shape the life of a man and woman.

Pastor of Praiseland Foundation Incorporation
It was during the Sunday Worship in Praiseland, capture before he start in
his Pastoral prayer. He wanted to push the G12 to grow or to ultiply not
once not twice but non stop process. He is inspired in the work of Pator
Cesar Castellano in Bogota Columbia who formulated the Government of
12. Because the G12 has strategy to ladder of succes. Where in in able to be
in succes it is important to know the win, consolidate, disicple and send. He
wanted to pursue the vision of G12 which is “Go and make Disciples” just
like what are God did in his 12 disciples.

Governement of 12 gives challenge to multiply every memeber in able to
learn leadership. Experience G12 in able to learn leadership and experience
success with Go
Let your Talents
be seen in
Government of 12
“God will only give you what
you would have asked for if
you knew everything he
knows”
― Timothy Keller
After the bible study, the 12
Individuals will practice for
Sunday Praise and Worship
1 Peter 1:15-16
but like the Holy One who called you,
be holy yourselves also in all your
behavior; because it is written, "YOU
SHALL BE HOLY, FOR I AM HOLY."
During the sunday worship in
Praiseland Foundation, led by Mark
Angelo C. Ornos, and he is also a
member of G12.
Purpose
of
Government of 12
Every Christian has a
purpose. That purpose
is to win the lost for
Jesus. If you don’t
fulfill that purpose,
then you will never be
fulfilled. The purpose
is best fulfilled within
the G12 cellular vision.
If you don’t fulfill your
purpose today, you may
never fulfill it at
all (Mitchell).
Enter the Government of 12 or G12 Movement. It’s the latest
innovative way to “grow your church” and “take the nations for
Christ”. It’s a cell church model advertised as being directly revealed
from Jesus Himself received via special revelation beyond the Bible
from a new “apostle” in the Church today (Mitchell).
The Heart to Heart
Confession
Just like other people they have their own experience that they
cannot forget. We have our own experience, experience that we want
to keep and sometimes to broadcast in the whole wide world.
Sometimes confession or testimony of an individual can influence
other people’s life, it can be in positive or negative. Testimony or
confession is sometimes use in an advertisement; the advertisers use a
famous personality or an individual people to testify in the product to
attract the mind of the consumer to patronize the product. But those
testimony and confession is just for the glory of the people for the
benefits of the corporation and the advertising agency and not for God.
The best confession or testimony that good to hear is the testimony that
we experience in God’s hand, in His glorious love for us. God will be
so happy if he hears from us how proud we to be his son are. He is the
good man of all, he is savior.

Gumaan yung saloobin ko, lalao na sa part ng mga lihim ko at sa mga
tinatago kong sama ng loob sa aking mga magulang at mga kaibigan. Ang G12 ay
nakatulong sa akin upang maintindihan ko ang mga bagay na akala natin ayos pero
di naman pala.
Dati hindi talaga ako nagdedevosion at hindi masyadong nagbabasa ng
Bible khait na naglelead ako hindi parin ako satisfy dati sa ginagawa pero nang
dumalo ako sa G12 kailangan mo palang mageffort na katulad ng pageeffort ni
God para sa atin.
Sa buhay ko, muli kong tinanggap si God as my personal Saviour at doon
narealize na hindi dapat ako yung maging center ng buhay ko kundi si God ang
magpatakbo nito.
Marami perogusto kong ishare sa kanila yung kabaitan ni God pati
pagmamhal niya sa atin kung paano siya naghirap sa krus dapat sana tayo ang
nakapako sa krus.

Part of G12 is easy, but bilang one of the G12 hindi madali. Ang
naramdaman ko as part of G12 is lahat ng dinala kong problema na fade away, yun
bang akala ko napatawad ko na yung mga taong nagkasala sakin but deep inside
my heart hindi pa, kaya ng dumating sakin ang G12 lahat ng iyon, hinanakit, galit
na fade away ang sarap sa pakiramdam ng malaya ka na.
Dati kasi gawa lang ako ng gawa, simba lang ng simba akala ko ok na yun,
tapos hindi maiwasan na isang tabi ko ang gawain ko sa simbahan, malimit din
akong magbasa ng bible pero because G12 ngayon nagdevotion na ako at
nagbabasa na din ng bibliya.
Ang pinakamgandang nagyari sakin sa G12 is akala ko nung tinanggap ko
si Christ as my personal saviour yun na yunpero ako pa din nagpapatakbo ng
buhay ko. Pero ngayon God is my driver of my life.
Marami akong natutunan sa G12 lahat gusto kung ishare pero mas malupet
yung natutunan ko na si God kung magmahal walang hanggan, walng katulad. He
sacrifice his own life for us.
