INTRODUCTION • FGBMFI OR ‘SOMETHING LIKE FGBMFI’?
THE 4 DISCUSSION SEGMENTS • ORTHODOXY • BUSINESS LESSONS • HAPPIEST PEOPLE ON EARTH • LAY PEOPLE MINISTRY
ORTHODOXY • DISCUSSION QUESTIONS • MAN-MOVEMENT-MACHINE-MONUMENT- MAUSOLEUM SYNDROME • POSSIBLE CAUSES: • Poor Quality Control • Poor leadership baton change • Absence of Mandatory Training • Lack of constant retelling • Systems needed
BUSINESS LESSONS • What are the business lessons?: • Find a need and fill it • Passion drives business • Plus your business • Integrity and excellence • The Holy Spirit as the Head Partner • ‘God’s business was to come first. Before the family. Before work. Before anything else in the world.’ • It is more about giving than receiving
FOOD FOR THOUGHT • The case of Henry Krause • The case of William Colgate
THE HAPPIEST PEOPLE ON EARTH • QUESTIONS • FIND THAT GIFT AND USE IT • YOUR DESTINY REVOLVES AROUND YOUR GIFTS • HOW GOD MEASURES ‘SUCCESS’ • ‘Each individual (in the Body of Christ) had his function… And when anyone assumed a function that wasn’t his, he not only did a second rate job, he blocked the flow of power to the person it did belong to.’ • GO!
THE POWER OF LAY PEOPLE • Equally anointed – the 2 ‘Generals’ • Accessibility • Communication advantage • The power of numbers
CONCLUSION • ‘ACCEPT POWER’! • Demos, power is the birthright of every Christian. Accept power, Demos • COMMITMENT • ‘I had learned a lesson I would never forget: “What people will think” is largely a bogeyman of our own self-centredness.’
