LESSON 1: THE POWER OF A VISION

BIBLICAL FOUNDATIONAL REFERENCE

“...and the Lord answered me, and said, write the vision, and make it plain
upon tables, that he may run that reads it.” (Habakkuk

leaders.
B. It is power that produces life.

III. DEFINITION AND IDENTIFICATION OF THE VISION

This is a specific vision: “To enthrall your city and the

world for Christ, through the cellular system and the
model of the twelve, making each member of the
church a qualified leader to reproduce God’s work.”.
DEVELOPMENT OF THE SUBJECT

Process to the core of the vision

It is developed through the application of a specified process:

This vision is well developed by going through a process called the ladder
of success.

The Ladder of Success is composed of four major steps.

WIN
CONSOLIDATE
DISCIPLE
SEND

These steps will guide you in becoming a successful leader. Moreover, the
vision of a successful leader will produce successful reality.

CONCLUSION

The vision is God’s prolific plan that He reveals in

man’s ideology for him to make it happen. It serves as a mechanism
to thrust out the noblest impetus in life. Our vision today is
to win the world for Christ executing strategies such as
cell groups, leadership through the model of twelve,
thus, fulfilling the great commission. We are all called to

LESSON 3: PREPARATION TO LEAD A CELL GROUP

BIBLICAL FOUNDATIONAL REFERENCE

“Do your best to present yourself approved to God, a
worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly
dividing the word of truth.” (Timothy 2:15)

DEVELOPMENT OF THE SUBJECT

I.THE CONCEPT OF PREPARATION

Preparation is a process of getting ready or being made ready for use of

consideration, by means that preparation is a state where mentally and
psychologically you are ready to do something without any hesitation and
doubts. The willingness to be continually trained with clearly defined
concepts is what guarantees success to a person in everything he
undertakes.

II. AREAS THAT NEED IMPROVEMENT

SPIRITUAL AREA

It is very essential for us to improve our Spiritual self because our Spirit
creates a divine connection to be attached to God’s holiness and our Spirit
is a channel where we can communicate to the Lord, which means, if we
have a weak spiritual idealism, we are prawn to have a weaker
understanding about God’s eternal presence.

INTELLECTUAL AREA

The leader of the cell group must devote his self in education by acquiring
knowledge from books, web pages, internet, importantly, the bible. The
wisdom and right ideology of the leader can be attained through the word of
God.
EMOTIONAL AREA
This is one of the areas in which a person must be much prepared, since
the success of his character and authority to lead others depends on his
steadiness. It is essential for us to be willing for God to establish in us a
healthy self-esteem. It will assist us to get rid of roots of bitterness,
resentment, and emotional conflicts. Having a good emotional quotient
creates a good connection with other people, leading to a wonderful
success.

PHYSICAL AREA

It is an importance for us to be physically fit when leading a cell group. It

will be hard for you to lead a cell group with an unhealthy body. Our body is
the temple of the Lord so we should keep it healthy.

SOCIAL AREA

Being a leader, you need to be a sociable person, but it doesn’t require us

to be introvert, rather, it requires us to be more sociable. Because being a
leader, being communicative is an advantage for you to get to know your
disciples more. That also helps your disciples defines you as a person they
want to open what’s on their heads with.

CONCLUSION
The cell group is an adjuvant of the augmentation of the churches;
However, the success of its enlargement is dependent on the people taking
the lead. Improvements in Spiritual, Intellectual, Emotional, Physical, and
social area succor the leader to lead the cell group successfully. With the
grace of the Lord and continuous devotion, the leader must be able to
improve the five areas that a cell leader must improve.

The cellular vision is a clear representation of success; however, its

success is dependent on how it was built and how often they meet.
Moreover, the values of its constitution must be followed for it will be the
key for a successful governance towards your cellular vision.
Lesson 5: METHODOLOGY OF A CELL GROUP

BIBLICAL FOUNDATIONAL REFERENCE

“Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven
given to men by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12)

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid;
do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you
go.” (Joshua 1:9)

A successful person, is a person with a heedful characteristic to listen to

the voice of the Lord because successful people do not act according to
what they know but rather to what the Lord wants them to have. A person
that hearkens to the voice of God creates a hefty correspondence with
God: the creator of wisdom and the wisdom Himself.

We should learn from Joshua

1. Joshua stops to listen to God’s voice (Joshua 6:2).

2. Joshua remembers the promise God made him (Joshua 6:2).
3. Joshua receives the strategy from God (Joshua 6:3-5).
4. Joshua organizes the people according to God’s instructions
(Joshua 6:6-11).
5. Joshua carries out the strategy as God indicated
(Joshua 6:12-16).
” Right strategy requires right heart”

CONCLUSION

Every leader deserves success, but only those people with perseverance
unlocks it. Success should be done by a good strategy because the future
is dependent on how you decide today. Your decision is a primary form of
strategy, thus, never decide according to what you feel rather, decide
according to what is right. Being in a right track leads you to success. Be
prudent with your judgement and always hark to what God is revealing to
you.

all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. But when he asks, he
