Eze.

PHASE 1: Recruiting the men

PHASE 2: Equipping them with

Knowledge & Power

PHASE 3: Releasing them to fulfill

the Vision

Page 9: Raising An Army To Fulfill The Vision

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!

Page 10: Raising An Army To Fulfill The Vision

Equip them with

information about…

Who they are in

Christ

The FGBMFI

Equip them

with Holy Spirit

Give them

hands-on

experience

Page 11: Raising An Army To Fulfill The Vision

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

Page 12: Raising An Army To Fulfill The Vision

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

Page 13: Raising An Army To Fulfill The Vision

“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

Page 14: Raising An Army To Fulfill The Vision

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

Page 15: Raising An Army To Fulfill The Vision

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.

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

Page 17: Raising An Army To Fulfill The Vision

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

Page 18: Raising An Army To Fulfill The Vision

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

CHARACTER CHARISMA

Page 19: Raising An Army To Fulfill The Vision

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.

Page 20: Raising An Army To Fulfill The Vision

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.

Page 21: Raising An Army To Fulfill The Vision

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.

Page 22: Raising An Army To Fulfill The Vision

Carry the Fire of the Holy

Spirit & the requisite

anointing.

Remember: The men

can only contact the fire

you carry

Page 23: Raising An Army To Fulfill The Vision

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 and mighty army.

LET

THE

PROPHET

IN YOU

STAND

UP

Page 24: Raising An Army To Fulfill The Vision

Prophesy Into the National, Regional,

and Zonal Leadership of FGBMFI

Prophesy Into Your Area

Speak life Into the men in your

chapter. Command dead chapters

to come alive.

Speak life into the homes, careers/businesses &

the zeal of the men. So that the army of men might

rise up & take their places across Africa

Do this

everyday

throughout

2014
