GAME CHANGING

-

Content for Our Television




Our calling is clear and we must never lose sight of it: To make disciples of all nations. This must show clearly in the long run in every venture we undertake. We must also care that the end does not always justify the means. Our TV or media therefore must always be clean, both advertently and inadvertently. We must resolve from onset that we will not take over the job of ruling this country: our well groomed disciples or people impacted by our ministry can easily do that, while we focus on the higher job of making disciples of all nations: Our kingdom is not from here. If we carry on our mission here very well, we will not need to step in to do governance by ourselves.

Our assignment is to make disciples of every nation. The first wave commenced in Jerusalem, through Judea, across Samaria and to the ends of the world. Several waves of the move have followed. We must be prepared for our wave, perhaps, it will herald the Lord’s second coming:

Two broad challenges face us: the Gates of Hell and the wolves in sheep skin. Both are no match for the advancing church. The Gates of Hell represent nations and systems willing to even kill to stop the Prince of Peace from enforcing the liberty he purchased for every soul. The wolves in sheep skin are charlatans who take advantage of the demolition of the Gates of Hell at a place to set up shop to drag the King of kings’ name into disrepute, slowing down His disciples’ advancement to hasten the harvest.

We must prepare to be innovative: Many developed countries that started as Christian compromised on the way, and the salt is not too well felt now. Our construction must therefore not follow exactly theirs. Let is turn to the Bible again and again, and tackle the mission in a fresh new way dynamic and enduring , breaking new grounds and setting massive globe-shaking new trends.
We must prepare to be bold: Yet to be understood new trends will attract torrents of flack from naysayers and doubters. Liberating winds will cause staggering status quos to swing wildly in our direction. They will say as old: “Bring not Jesus into this matter, we dealt with him in our own way not long ago. Let the resurrected one remain dead!” We must speak the Word even more be boldly, as the Lord stretches forth His hands to save.

We must prepare to be consistent: Our message is still one: Jesus wants to save you! In this we cannot be passive. We must come at people with this, no matter the angle we come from, they must feel the heat of His great love. Our willingness to suffer for others to be set free must be consistent. Our willingness to turn the other cheek must be consistent, our willingness to live up to the standards of Matthew 5 – 7 must be consistent
Now here come the army of programming ready to burst forth
1.      
Even while they are at school, hundreds of members are already gifted writers, actors, and singers ready to take on musicals, documentaries, journalism, drama, movies and skits as ministry and therefore for free. This pool must be tapped into immediately, and given ownership of the screen under guidance.
2.      By the time they are out of school a professional crop would have started to brood. Explosive new screen disciple makers will burst forth.
3.      Interactive programs should mingle with the yet to be saved creatively to dampen their Christophobia

4.      Focus on Ghana
5.      Facts GH
6.      Frontiers: Documentaries on Internal and External Missions
7.      Topics dying for down to earth exposition/explanation
a.      Salvation: Saved from What?
b.      Salvation: What about the “other ways”?
c.      Salvation: What motivate people to choose “Other ways”
d.      Church Image:
                                                    i.     Docile or Just Circumspect in Public Discourse
                                                   ii.     Finance: Tithing and Financial Responsibility
                                                  iii.     Prayer: When is it time-Wasting?
                                                  iv.     Indoors Messages: Just Trying Other Explanations for Members Misery?
                                                   v.     Politics: How far can church leaders go?
                                                  vi.     Politics: How far can church members go?
                                                vii.     Education: A Revival of Church involvement (Documentary)
                                               viii.     Focus on Christian Politicians, and their disciple making practices
e.      Which Covenant do You Claim?
f.       Traditional or African Religious Christianity?

We are not desperate: Our panellists must never be hastily picked. Delivering it as ministry, they must be given time to study their topics, be previewed, and then put on the spot only when they are ready.

BIBLE THROWBACK

-
The Bible explains itself. The Lord Jesus and the writers of the New Testament books and letters were proven by the Old Testament Scripture (OT). Their hearers and readers generally knew the OT context of their statements. Here are five key samples:   "FISHERS OF MEN" THROWBACK ““Therefore behold, the days are coming,” says the LORD, “that it shall no more be said, ‘The LORD lives who brought up the children of Israel from the land of Egypt,’ but, ‘The LORD lives who brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north and from all the lands where He had driven them.’ For I will bring them back into their land which I gave to their fathers. “Behold, I will send for many FISHERMEN,” says the LORD, “and they shall fish them; and afterward I will send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain and every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.” Jeremiah 16:14-16 NKJV “And Jesus, walking by the Sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon called P...

OUTREACH METHODS AND PRACTICES

-
Outreach Methods and Practices – COP’s Biblical Model Acts 20:18-21 I lived among you, As we send the pastor to live among the people so do all our members who have travelled to live in any community consider the lives of their hosts theirs to save: They do not just live there, they also live rightly, as models, as earthly strangers, showing by their lifestyles that they are transformed people. Serving God in humility and with tears... Our lives and activities in the community clearly show that we serve God, not ourselves. Neither had we come just for our benefits, but as missionaries, willing to endure persecution and share in hardships. Proclaiming: (Announcing publicly or formally; to state something emphatically and openly) The message of the Lord is carefully announced regularly in the community, as the population really changes constantly 1.       Public Rallies 2.       Laced Public Concerts an...

The Story of Redemption as told through Israel

-
One very useful way of "unlocking" the Bible is to check how the Old Testament tells the story of the New Testament. After all the OT is said to be a shadow of the NT (Col 2:17, Heb 10:1). What would be our take on the following? Where do the realities of these shadows occur in the NT? 1. Journey to Egypt 2. Slaves to Pharaoh 3. The “futility” of all the plagues but one to weaken Pharaoh's grip 4. The Passover Lamb 5. Deaths of the firstborns that broke Pharaoh's grip 6. Pharaoh's pursuit 7. The Red Sea 8. The Desert 9. Pillar of Fire and Cloud 10. Manna 11. The Attacks in the Desert 12. The Apostasy and Punishments 13. The Midian Mix and the Grumblings 14. The Bronze serpent 15. Jordan 16. Manna stops 17. Warfare in Canaan 18. The Law 19. The Ark 20. The Tabernacle 21. The Gradual Take over If you really want to build people up, do not shy away from doing this. God contracted Israel mainly for the purpose of telling this story, to make salvation meaningful ...
