Okay. Good morning everyone. Welcome to BC 201 course on Christian history and missions. We're going to study on stewarding revival to host his present and manifest his glory in today's class. Well in last class we'll get the pursuit of revival way, the cry for a visitation and more of God when there's a prayer that is raised to God with a cry for his visitation and for his move among his people. You see how Lord showed up. So in today's session we're going to study on how do we steward the revival, how do we steward the presence of God and how do we manifest his glory. So today would be the last session and all that we studied so far today we're going to study or look into how we're going to steward this revival. So we are on page 121 from our notes. We're going to look like what God has in store for us. So even before we could begin may I request one of y'all to please lead us in prayer. Rosalind would you like to pray? Yes ma'am. Yes. Wonderful heavenly Father God we thank you Lord. Thank you for your faithfulness. Thank you for your love. Thank you Lord for this day, for this session. Father God we are gathered here Lord to learn from your word.  Father God we thank you Lord even as we are studying and getting and getting to know Lord your word and especially about the revivals and about the missionaries oh Lord and their hard work and what they did Lord. Father God we pray Father God as we study them let them let us also learn from them oh Lord and apply in our lives oh Lord. Father especially as we have come to the end of this this teaching oh Lord we I ask you Father God to please bless each and every one of us oh Lord especially our pastor Nancy a pastor Diana Lord God I pray Father God anoint her today Lord as she will teach us from your word Father God let every word that we hear the will bear fruit in our lives oh Lord for the expansion of your kingdom. God we thank you and we bless you in Jesus mighty name we pray amen amen amen thank you Rosalind for praying well today we're going to look into how we are stewarding what God is entrusted to us so that may include the spiritual leadership that God is entrusted to us or the mysteries of his kingdom the way Lord is leading in our ministry and we also we will look at the gifts that God has given to us we are accountable for every skill every talent every gift that God has put in our hand we also are accountable for the ministry that God has given to each of us because this is not the ministry of what we are building on our own it is God's ministry and we are accountable to what God has put in our hands so when all these things we have when God is entrusted all these things to our hand people ministry the gifts the talent the skill now we are accountable to God are we handling it in the way it is pleasing God we need to look at every aspect the way we handle the skill the talent the gifts that God has given it is it pleasing God am I using it for his glory we need to check because stewarding them is what is more important when during the time of revival people we are accountable to each and every person whom God has added them to our ministry we are accountable so we need to handle them with care that they are God children they are God's children we need to look at them as the precious child of God and how we can bring correction in them lovingly how we can restore them back if they have gone astray how we can you know make them as a blessing to the kingdom of God God is looking at us so good stewardship is not only about managing well what has been given to us but it also involves in securing it we need to secure it multiply it and pass it over to the succeeding generation so during the course of time in our leadership we need to see to it that we raise good and strong leaders whom we can trust so we need to look at the journey how they are managing how they are leading are they trustable to to to hand over certain tasks to them so how do we know what by assigning simple tasks to them because the scripture says when they are faithful in small things you can entrust them with much bigger things so we need to see who are those trustable people in our ministry whom we can assign certain tasks so that is one of the way how we can multiply our ministry how we can grow our ministry growing is nothing but we raising leaders by raising leaders we can expand and we can grow our ministry not in the form of securing it becoming one point of contact no that's not the way the church grows and expands the church yes we need to secure them we need to guard but at the same time we need to guard them from the enemy not from expanding the kingdom of God so we need to be ready to multiply it and raise leaders and expand the kingdom of God so we must see what the revival the visitation and the more of God that God has released in meds of us so while we are stewarding them there may be certain challenges that we may face so there are few points that we would like to discuss in today's lesson that is some of the practical lessons that we can learn from the past revival so that we can apply it in our day in our time how we can be successful in stewarding a revival in the presence of God in our church in our ministry city place where we are heading so the first one is separating the weed from the job separating the weed from the job can I request all to turn to Matthew chapter 13 verse 24 to 30 can one of y'all please read Matthew chapter 13 verse 24 to 30 another parable he put forth to them saying the kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seeds in his feet but while men slept his enemy king and sowed tears among the weed and bent but when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop then the tears also appear so the servant of the owner came and said to him sir did you not sow good seed in your field how then does it have tears he said to him and enemy has done this the servant said to him do you want us then to go and gather them up but he said no less while they gather it up the tears also a fruit to then both grow together until the harvest and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers first gather together the tears and bind them in bundles to burn them but gather the weed into my form amen thank you Jaffina so what we see in this is the owner is aware of the enemy statics it's not something that happened that came as a surprise to the owner he knows the enemy statics he will come and sow the tears the similar way the Lord knows during the time of revival they may be certain fleshly manifestation that would get mixed up in the genuine work of God so as we have been excited of how the Lord is moving in the ministry but we need to pay attention to certain things that may not be aligned to God's work it may look a spiritual but then it is not from God so as a leader we need to be aware of what is happening around us keep your eye open and intently look at things what is happening so when you know there are certain things that are not from God see how you can execute it but if then executing immediately at that point of time if that may affect the more of God or the work of God but patiently wait but we have a watch on that see how they can you know a wrong reasons or motivation that may cause the fleshly manifestations so as a leader you need to handle this fleshly manifestation with much wisdom much wisdom so when you have a team of leaders with you you can bring them all together sit and discuss of what is happening as there's a more of God there's something not from God is happening among the work of God so as your God will definitely give us the way the reason or how to move it at how to approve it without being affected affecting the other people of God so we need to be aware of things even in the revival time so how should those leader handle this fleshly manifestation we need to look is this the genuine work of God is this from God is this from the spirit of God and when you know it is not so as a leader you all will come together and discuss it out how we can handle this issue or the problem in a very cautious way so that others in the ministry are not affected so this is what we see in Matthew 13 24 to 30 that it was not though this scripture passage is not given in the context of revival but there is a truth that we can draw from this parable how we can apply it to Steve order revival as you see here in this passage we see that the owner was mindful of the wheat and it should not get uprooted because of these stairs that are grown so instead what he does he waits has a watch how they are growing are they affecting the weed are they affecting the good work of God he's having a watch but at the same time he says there's a time period he waits for the right time he waits for the harvest and during the time of harvest he makes sure that his weeds are not affected due to the tears so he takes the weeds the right fruit that we are looking for and then he destroys the tears so the similar manner during the revival there may be many fleshly manifestation that could appear and disturb the growth or the manifestation of God or the work of God that God is trying to do at the place and revival in your church in your ministry so in the likewise as just like how the owner handled it with caution we also should have a watch handle it with great caution so that the people of God will not get disturbed so that the God can work in people so we must wait for people to see the fruit so what is that so the spirit of God will bear the genuine and lasting fruit while the fleshly manifestation will not so people they themselves move away because the fleshly manifestation or the man-made things may not last long but it will move off so how do you handle it one by seeing it intentionally intently seeing how this fleshly attitude or the manifestation that has been creeped in to the people or during the time of revival how it's affecting or how you can protect the people of God from this kind of work one second you see how to handle it as God's wisdom come along with your lead is discuss and see how you can handle it and you know with great wisdom we need to handle that particular situation so that the fruit the good fruit does not get affected so that the people of God may not get affected the second point here we would like to discuss is on stewarding a visitation into a habitation of God revival is something like visitation but then how you if you steward it well this visitation of God can become the habitation of God that means you will have the presence of God for a longer period now imagine having the presence of God for a longer period how you know it will be a great impact when I say great impact not about the science wonder the miracles I'm talking about people being touched souls being saved the ministry being birth church has been raised the revival of God catches fire across the nation and to the nations the world being impacted and empowered for God this can happen only through the habitation of God so every spark of revival or every visitation of revival the leader should be conscious how I can hold this revival and make it a habitation of God so God can know and be there for a longer time because that can impact and empower people to raise ministries to birth ministries raise churches ministry leaders because this is what happened in the revivals in the past so let's read Psalms 130 to 13 to 18 can I request one of y'all to please turn to Psalms 132 verse 13 to 18 anyone from the class we can save time there's so much to cover today some chapter 132 verse 13 to 18 for the Lord has chosen Zion he has decided for his dwelling place this is my resting place forever here I will dwell for I have decided for I have decided it I will abundantly bless her provision I will satisfy her poor with bread I will also close her priest with salvation and her saints shall shout a lot for joy there I will make them hawn of David grow I will prepare a lamp for my anointed his enemies are the cloth with shame but upon himself his crown shall flourish thanks Japhina so what we see here in Psalms 132 13 to 18 we see that the Lord has chosen Zion what is Zion God's chosen one God's chosen people so God has chosen his people and he desires to dwell desired it for his dwelling place so God desires to dwell it is not who we were calling but God desires to dwell among his own children his own people that's what you're the psalms describes like the God desires to dwell among his people so he described what happens when God dwells among his people a community that is blessed with divine provision there's divine providence they experience God salvation touching every area of a person life that's when a person can be transformed he can be more Christ like why because the Lord who dwells there convicts of the sin and brings change inside out there's a inward change in the person now what happened when a person is transformed he has received Jesus as Lord and Savior of there's a great joy of God himself dwelling in him there's peace there's joy there's a change from inside out and you see this person of the ministry growing from strength to strength walking in the revelation of God and the anointing of God they walk with victory and they triumph in every area because now they have renewed their mind into what God has in store for them now all this can happen in the increasing measure when we have the presence of God when we see what the presence of God among us and for this to grow and flourish and bear fruit like what the scripture says 30 60 and 100 we need to have the habitation of God in our midst we need to see what so how do we see what the habitation how do we make this visitation of God into a habitation of God when each one consciously make effort to please God in our life we have the fear of God not sin we have the fear of God to do everything according to what pleases God when we his children his people do the things that pleases God God stays with us God stays with us so the leader should prepare the people well should till the ground well to hold the presence of God the leader will ensure that the house of God is maintained well the dwelling place of God is maintained well that pleases God so here are some biblical instructions that we would discuss now the first is keep the house clean how do we keep the house clean we're not talking about the physical yes the physical is important and we can do it but what is more important the area that none of us see and only God can see is our heart the house of God the scripture says that we are the temple of God and the temple of God needs to be kept holy because it's the dwelling place of God how we cleanse the church when you know we worship oh this is the worship place of God need to clean it keep it neat and tidy speak and sign so how it should be our own heart because this is the dwelling place of God apostle Paul teaches us very clearly in first Corinthians chapter 3 16 to 17 he says do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the spirit of God dwells in you and he also says it also comes with what if anyone defiles the temple of God God will destroy him for the temple of God is holy and he leaves you leaves us with a question which temple you are which temple you are so it's simple a leader we need to encourage God's people to keep our self pure is it easy no but can we do it yes the spirit of the Lord who's in us will help us and lead us to do the things pleasing to God how we can avoid by not allowing the enemy entering giving him any kind of entry into our thoughts actions the way we behave our attitude don't allow any way the enemy to come and thank you say Lord let me do everything that pleases you the second point is keep the unity of the spirit God finds this good and pleasant very important unity because the enemy can attack when we are in this unity and we don't have unity among our own brethren about among our own leaders in our church we have to be very careful as a leader we need to be mindful of being an agreement being with one God being in unity even on the day of Pentecost the scripture clearly says that all of them all the disciples and all the hundred and twenty people who are present in the upper room where with one God when there is one when there is oneness you see the power of God moves in that place because there's all in one mind one God one desire asking God God you come and you move and then through us you are the leader you are ahead giving God the first place so we should know that unity is the place of anointing life and blessing unity is the place of anointing life and blessing so we must work towards maintaining the spirit of unity in peace so as a leader we need to strive if you see there's a person who's trying to you know bring strife among the leaders among the people bring it to the notice of the leaders bring a correction immediately do not delay in taking certain action do not permit any kind of jealousy any kind of strife backbiting selfish ambitious because this will bring the disunity among the leaders anything that causes the unity to bring down as a leader we need to stand against it we should never allow a permit any kind of you know slander slanders to take you know creep into the leadership or among the people as a leader we need to have a watch because the unity is the strength of a ministry of a church so nothing should arm the unity so we see an example in Acts chapter 6 where they were a problem of conflict strife but what happened the apostles took a quick address to the problem and they restored the order in unity back so as a leader we need to have a watch and bring correction immediately okay point three keep a humble heart God dresses the proud very important what does the scripture say we need to humble ourselves so as a leader as a community we need to walk humble before God and man because this is one of the quality that God is asking us what happens during revival is because everything is going well there's a supernatural power moving in and through you under your leadership maybe it's a natural sense as we are in the human pride can creep into us so as a leader you need to be mindful of not allowing the pride to creep into us but allow the glory to God give all the glory give all the credit to God because every work that has been done in the ministry in and through your even under your leadership give glory to God because God is the one who's doing it God is the one who's honoring you give all the glory to God and guard yourself the ministry against any kind of pride arrogance or any kind of attitude that may think more highly of yourself than any other person we also see in 1 Peter chapter 5 verse 5 it says likewise you younger people submit yourself to your elders yes all of you be submissive to one another be clothed with humility for God resists the proud what he does he gives grace to the humble God gives grace to the humble and each of us need the grace to lead the ministry or steward the revival point for he talks about keep him has the focus he is a Lord over his own house so our focus should be Jesus our focus should be Jesus because Jesus is the Lord of this ministry Lord of this church Lord of the city Lord of this community so we see that in Hebrew chapter 3 verse 3 to 6 we see that in as much as you build the house as more honor than the house but Christ has son over his own house whose house we are so we need to keep in mind as we experience more of God and his presence more of his power more of his glory that has been we get to experience a tangible presence of God in our midst we must always keep our eyes on God because it's God's house it's God is doing it not man so help us not to set a focus on man but we need to set a focus on God so as a leader you need to be fully conscious of giving glory to God we need to let the crowd know Jesus in our midst and let set a focus on God not to take the attention from God unto him personally because he will build the house is the one who owns it isn't it so this house the people the miracle science wonders everything belongs to God so let's give all glory all honor to God so a strong leadership is very important but in the leadership he needs to set the focus right focus on God and not on himself or any man so leadership only serves so as a leader we need to serve people we need to ensure that we serve each other but keeping our eyes on Jesus only the fifth point we sees continue to maintain prayer that fuels the revival so the prayer is the backbone of every revival what happens during revival it becomes very busy we try to handle many things but what we need to do is the prayer do not compromise on prayer time the minute the prayer life is compromised you see the revival ends there for us to have the habitation of God in our midst prayer should continue if you see in Psalms very beautifully Psalms David planted to have a worship tabernacle 24 bar 7 he put some 2000 worship leaders and he had it 24 bar 7 so as a leader we need to come up with a strategy we need to come up with a plan where there's prayer that is fueling the fire you need prayer to keep going so there is a sacrifice that is involved in this the spiritual sacrifices the prayer the worship the devotion that needs to continue and it should intensify it should only increase no matter how busy you get in the revival but we should not compromise on the time of prayer worship and devotion because these are the one which gives fuel to the fire of revival next six point we see that stay with what is important so God leads the leader for many things okay so God leads us from one season of revival to the next from one level of glory to the next there may be some things that we must change so you we need to be conscious we need to look into we need to pay attention to so here we see the sound teaching of the word of God which continues to build each of us through which we get you know which we see there's a soul winning there's disciplining among the believers there's a good fellowship there's sharing and caring of one another and we also see as a leader you need to see how you can equip the people how you can equip the saints on ongoing so that you can release the people you can raise them as a ministry you can raise them as leaders to heads of ministry we can send out people on missions on outreaches so all these are essential ingredients of a revival so as a leader you need to see what's happening among the people our people been equipped are they soul winning happening is there a act of evangelism happening are they new believers adding into our church is there a good fellowship do they have a good community among the leaders among the church people are they helping each other so in intentionally sometimes we need to see to it that you know the people they are there to help each other how they can we sometimes we need to create this opportunity where we bring in the situation and ask people can you please be there to help this person and that way we teach and bring opportunity so that people can care and share with each other and also the same time there's something that should be ongoing that is equipping raising leaders and making this leaders to take up and raise a ministry and send people out on missions so this is one of the key ingredient of a church during revival so these are something that we need to intentionally do as a leader we need to see are all these areas been done been fulfilled in our church in our Christian journey and also during the revival we need to be very careful of certain areas of manifestation there may be an angelic visitation there may be a gold dust there may be a gold teeth it can be anything so no matter what happens maybe uh you know what happens it can be different ways okay we don't put God's work into our box God can do greater things but our focus should not get into searching for a gold dust searching for the angel or its feather searching for a gemstone or a gold teeth our focus should not be on any of this kind of work but our focus should be our people walking in the intimacy with God our people being drawn toward Jesus is the focus on Jesus or is it on the gold dust or the manifestation of the work of God our focus no matter what season with generation we are in our focus should always be on Jesus and him alone because the scripture says the spirit of the Lord who leads people will lead them to Jesus not to any of the other manifestation because we see even in the book of Acts the apostles when they walked you know Peter Paul when they walked you see the shadow brought healing to people so there were many people who were coming and you know placing people on the street so when Peter walked there was healing to the people and you also see Apostle Paul prayed in the hand over his handkerchief meant there was healing and deliverance just by touching the handkerchief but then the ministry was not focused on these things no matter how God moved in and through them but the apostles were focused on Jesus they still shared the same gospel what they shared before they never changed the gospel of Christ so we no matter how God moves and works in and through us but we should not accommodate any other thing as our focus our focus should still be on Jesus and the gospel that the work that Jesus did on the cross we see the seventh point consolidate what has been released so the ground gained must not be lost so God ushers us into a new level of faith experience of his presence so we need to understand or understanding of himself who God is the revelation of knowing God brings a blessing the scripture says in the book of Daniel he says knowing God my people who know their God can go ahead and do great exploits so we need to know God when we know God we can consolidate we can we can see what God is doing through in our in and through us so we must not lose what God is doing in our midst so in order to consolidate we need to provide some biblical perspective and what is happening around us there are two ways one is the revelation that has been released during the process and the third that we can see is the manifestation that's taking place so we need to keep using what has been imparted so that we we don't we don't lose it so wherever appropriate what we can do is we can document it so that one we remember and also the leaders in our group even our successors may remember and know it so very important in the ministry in the revival is for us to document what is happening very important point eight is create and maintain a revival culture to sustain revival create and maintain a revival culture to sustain revival so the culture is a characteristics and knowledge of a particular group of people which is defined by everything by it can be by language religion or the social habits or music arts it can be anything so this revival culture is one that is the presence of God that's focused not on the program or the schedule but we value God's presence and healed to the moving and leading of the Holy Spirit so we see that in the book of John chapter 3 verse 8 we recognize the value the work of the Spirit even when we do not have all the answers so in John 3 AD says the wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes so is everyone who's born of the Spirit so in revival the culture is one we eagerly expect and we pass you the manifestation of the Spirit in a very healthy edifying manner so in 1st Corinthians chapter 14 verse 12 we see that even so you since you are zealous for spiritual gifts let it be for the edification of the church that you may seek to excel so we need to set our focus when we look at the culture we need to look that the spiritual gifts are for the edification of the church that the church may grow and expand so as a church as a community during the time of revival we need to have this culture within us where we are hunger for more of God where we thirst for more of God this is what we read also in the Beatitudes as entered blessed are the poor in spirit for they will be quenched with more of God there's the kingdom of God so we need to you know seek for more of God during this time of revival we should not be in a place of content we need to pray pray more worship worship more read the word wind souls decide a discipling people and they should be a passionate towards doing everything so we need to make sure that God gives us up gives to us us to to steward everything well he gives us the wisdom the grace that is needed for the leader to steward everything well so that we develop and maintain this revival culture where people and ourselves seek God more of God something like Moses no matter how many encounters he had with God more Moses always yearned and thirsted for more of God the same we see the same attitude we see with David we see with the apostles they needed more of God they yearned and thirsted for more of God this is something that we need to develop within ourselves so that we have this revival culture within us next we will move on to point nine love people take care of people loving people and taking care of them is more important because people is everything ministry is to do with people people are the key you cannot do ministry without people in the ministry so to have people you need to love them and you need to take care of them because even in the ministry of Jesus you see in Matthew 14 14 he says when he looked at the people the earnest the thirst that they followed him you see Jesus was moved with compassion towards people Jesus loved them and because he loved them you see Jesus went beyond his ability to do greater things for them so the ministry is to do with people we are not here God has not placed us as a leader to rule over the people to boss over the people no God has raised us as a leader to serve the people so how do we serve them until and unless we love them we cannot serve them so we need to come to a point to love people embrace them as they are and when you love them you will take care of them everything will follow in place so we need to know that people are the key in the ministry and ministry is to do with people even when you see you the weakness in wrongdoing among the people look out for ways as a leader yes you are accountable to them but in every area look up look out for way like how you can bring correction in a loving way it is very important to bring correction people may like it may not like it but as a leader do with lovingly with all hearted for the good of the person because you are accountable call them talk to them pray with them speak to them with love see what you can do do your best to them even it may hurt them but what does the Lord do love corrects love will address the matter out love will not bear wrongdoing this is what in first Corinthians 13 we read right love is patient we wait patiently for the person to change but whatever we do as a leader we do it with love we do it because they are important we do it because we are accountable to God we do it because God has a call God has a plan that person life and each one of their life so because of that we do it keeping this in mind and when we genuinely do it our heart attitude matters the God who watches with the intention of how we are handling each one of them with the fear of God God gives the understanding to the people he makes the person understand that why we are saying what we are saying 10 leading a revival God what has been committed from human or demonic attacks leading a revival so how will you lead in it God what has been committed from human or demonic attacks so they may be persecution from outside sometimes from inside within your own leaders within your own church people how do we handle them so leaders and revival will fearlessly will be attacked by the other leaders by the people so we need to understand what is happening why because sometimes the jealousy creeps in so as a leader we need to be alerted we need to see the schemes of the enemy how they are entering and what damage are they trying to bring into the kingdom of God because Paul instructs Timothy in 1st Timothy chapter 4 16 he says take heed to yourself and to the doctrine continue in them for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you the enemy knows that if he can strike the shepherd he can scatter the sheep so the enemy is behind you he may stir the other leaders to come against you now you need to establish a watchman people who will watch and pray to God what is happening in the spirit as a leader we need to watch our other leaders who are working with you or under your leadership so we need to watch over them in spirit lest the enemy may use them as an entry point to damage what God is doing in and through you so we need to guard ourselves so how do we guard ourselves we should not quench the spirit of the Lord whose ministering into you we need to hear him we need to pray because strife pride jealousy competition and other works of the flesh may grave and quench the spirit of God so we need to guard ourselves from all these things so one of the way you know to handle in the New Testament time our fleshly interference is equal to mishandling God's manifest presence so the spirit of the God when we quench him he is grieved he will withdraw from us so we should not allow that we should always pay attention to what the spirit of the Lord is saying and doing so that we can be safe we can guard ourselves we may not know what's going to happen next moment but the Lord is aware we need to pray in spirit to you know to guard ourselves we need to raise the leaders we need to increase the leaders also to pray in spirit so one of the one of the illustration one of the example that we would like to take is in the leading revival from the lesson and life of William Samor some of the things you know he was a very simple man there is nothing that we can talk great about this leader William Samor in fact we went even in the Bible college when we were studying about his life we saw that he was outcast because of his color because of the background that he came from he was not a very well educated man he was not very pleasant in his appearance okay sorry we have crossed our time I'll just leave it this okay though there were many things not very pleasant things to talk about him but he was very quiet gentle and a meek personality but the Lord chose him his heart was pure God looks at the heart and the heart attitude so we need to be like that so this is the assignment that I would like to give us your final assignment over the course that we need to we need to present our assignment this way that how do we Steve order revival what is revival all about first question write down please what is revival and how we can steward revival how we can steward revival and you can write about the lessons that you learn from the life of William Samor okay this is about the personality that one should carry that may please God okay about William Samor now you can also write about the second person lessons from the life of Catherine Cullman how she moved with the power of the Holy Spirit which is much needed for all of us though she was a woman how she moved in the ministry okay lessons from the life of Catherine Cullman the third person is lessons from Billy Graham the evangelical ministry that he moved in he was more effective and soul winning how we reached out everyone so lessons from Billy Graham so the three people okay one is the lessons from William Samor lessons from Catherine Cullman lessons from Billy Graham so mostly on William Samor is about his personality what pleased God about Catherine Cullman is how she hosted the spirit of the Lord and how she moved that relevant third is about Billy Graham how we went about winning souls okay three the strategy if you look out different messages that is available on YouTube you see Billy Graham moved with a strategy from the beginning of it message till the end of the message the way he preached he put it across people were literally waiting when will he give an altar call when will I run to the stage and receive this Jesus that he is talking about you know we need to learn those strategies so that we can apply see these are not a man-made strategy it is a gift from God eloquent of speech is a gift from God yes you can train yourself but I will tell you it will flow when it is a gift from God it will impact and empower people when it is a gift from God okay so we need to seek this so this is your assignment what is revival how we can see what revival and the lessons from the three people William Samor Catherine Cullman and Billy Graham okay done so this is your final assignment this will carry 100 marks so what we can do is y'all can prepare send it across so let me fix a date that you can present it in the class so today is November 4th I've given you this assignment we will present it so you'll have one week to prepare okay we will not have class on Monday and on Friday so I will take this time for you to prepare and on 14th you can start sharing okay 14th and 18th we will start presenting it in the class so each of y'all will be given 10 minutes full 10 minutes okay it is your time so let's take this time to present it okay okay so let's end the session with a word of prayer but before that I wanted to leave a quote with this let me post this quote okay I will read it to inspire you to want to be better in one thing but to empower you to be able to be better is the better thing you can inspire from a distance from a stage from the spotlight but you cannot empower from a distance inspiration can come in a moment and can leave in a moment empowerment takes time and its seldom leaves the person you at the receiving end can be passive while being inspired because it asks nothing of you you at the receiving end cannot afford to be passive if you want to be empowered it requires so much more of you so inspiring people without any empowerment is like getting people excited for a battle without giving them any weapon by Aaron keys so I leave this session not inspire anyone but what we learn is we need to be empowered okay okay I think I will end the session okay with the word of prayer Lord I submit each one into your hand I pray that you will move in and throw us so that each of us will be empowered by your grace by your love by your spirit by your word and by your spirit Lord thank you Father in Jesus name we pray amen amen thank you guys so see you all on November 14th with the assignment okay thank you so soon I would I would create the assignment on classwork I would request all to post it on the classwork and then we will have the presentation okay thank you God bless have a wonderful day weekend bye
