Without Dedication the Vision will Never Be Fulfilled

Fulfilling the great dream God has given you takes a lot of DEDICATION, but without wholehearted commitment your dreams are only empty wishes os passing fantasies. The vision is not going to happen until you get your heart in it. Jesus said, Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also" (Matthew 6:21). What you place value on is going to have your heart. In the Bible the word heart means the center of your affections. To fulfill the vision, you have to want it with all your heart.

Related Points to Ponder

• Women came from REFINED MATERIAL
• Men came from RAW MATERIAL
• God “BLESSED” man and woman!
• Malachi 2:14
• “One Flesh” concept
• No such thing as instant marriage!
• Don’t marry a person with a “problematic family”, marry someone with a “healthy family.”

Role of a Husband and Wife

• Traditional: Protector, Producer, Big Boss...
• Husband Role: Lover & Leader - AFFECTION
• Wife Role: Submit & Supporter – SECURITY (Financial, Affection, Honesty)
• Take Note: A child cannot live without a father figure…
• Right Life Pattern: Work > Save > Give > Spend

Exchange of ideas

Resolving Conflicts in Marriage

1. Talk about the problem not the person
2. Resolve anger – communicate feelings with respect
3. Keep short account
4. Watch your words
5. Learn to listen with your mouth shut
6. Respond to the need

Mentoring Notes with Pastor Pie Nola

• Ministry must first start with God – dahil may bigat kang kailangang i-download.
• Importance of “incubation”! – before “Evangelism” (lahat dapat maiinit) (like manok “incubation”) kailangan limliman ang 12
• The vision = “crucified” > “resurrected” > 12 (Isaiah 60:22) = The key is the 12. We must first die to ourselves!
• More cells = more OPEN DOORS
• The 12 is the KEY. The Cell is the DOOR!
• Pass the character and skills!
• Evangelism is a “WAR ZONE!”
