The Cell Vision All Nations Full Gospel Church Compiled by Rev. Dike Odimuko
What is the Cell Vision? The Cell vision is a vision of God for the end-time Church. It involves: • Winning as many souls as possible for the Kingdom of God, and • Making every one of these newly won souls an active participant and a leader in the body of Christ.
Goal of the Cell Vision The goal of the vision is to ensure that every new convert won: • Is built to spiritual maturity and • Forms a group of people whom he will build to spiritual maturity and reproduce his/her character in them (just like Jesus did with His 12 disciples), so that they in turn will develop their own people and so on.
Implementation of the Cell Vision The Cell Vision is laid out in four parts or levels (collectively known as the “Ladder of Success”). These levels are: • Win • Consolidate • Disciple • Send
Win The fruit of the righteous [is a] tree of life, And he who wins souls [is] wise. – Prov. 11:30 • Winning is proclaiming the gospel to every person in such a way that they are led to genuine repentance This is done through: • The Cells • Connection with friends • Altar Calls at church and • Various forms of evangelism.
Consolidate Consolidation is the care and attention given to every new believer in order to reproduce the character of Christ in them. This is achieved by: • Shaping and nurturing them in spiritual growth • Reaffirming their decision to serve Jesus in such a way that their lifestyles change and become involved in the church. • Teaching them how to live the new life in Christ and how to be effective witnesses.
Consolidate cont. The Pre-Retreat Class This is a class consisting of four 1 hour sessions covering a period of 1 month. The purpose of this class is to • Assure the new converts of their salvation and teach them a few basic steps of the Christian faith • Explain the benefits of the Cross and the power of God to deliver • Prepare them for the Encounter
Consolidate cont. The Weekend Retreat This is a 48 hour period spent away from family, friends and normal everyday activity in order to have an encounter with God. Its purpose for the new believers is: • Ensure their salvation • Experience genuine repentance • Break chains that bind them to the past • Receive the fullness of the Holy Spirit and • Have understanding of the vision.
Consolidate cont. Post-Retreat Class This is a 12-lesson class which teaches those just back from the Encounter how to: • Deal with the attacks of Satan • How to relate to the world • How to face and overcome temptation, the flesh and sin Once one has completed the Post Encounter, he/she is eligible to become a registered member of All Nations Full Gospel Church.
Disciple Disciple is to prepare efficient Church and Cell Leaders with the ability to win souls for Christ and disciple them to become successful leaders. This is achieved through simple practical classes as the disciple gains experience in the cell group. There are two parts to this level: • The School of Leaders • The Advanced Retreat & Pre-Leaders Class
Disciple cont. The School of Leaders This comprises 3 trimesters of 12 classes each: • School of Leaders I (teachings on Basic Doctrine & Family) • School of Leaders II (teachings on the Cell Ministry, Intercession, Evangelism and Service) • School of Leaders III (teachings on Leadership, Consolidation, The Holy Spirit and Counseling)
Disciple cont. The Advanced Retreat This holds over a 72 hour period. At this meeting the disciple: • Receives more in-depth ministry • Is empowered to minister as a Leader Only those who have completed school of Leaders I are eligible to go for the Re-Encounter
Send Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: "Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?" Then I said, "Here [am] I! Send me." - Isaiah 6:8 Immediately after the Re-Encounter, the new Cell Leader is commissioned to start a Cell through which he/she ministers the vision to other people.
Send cont. The Cell Leaders task concerning those he/she invites to Cell is to: • WIN them to the Lord • CONSOLIDATE them • DISCIPLE them • SEND them to start their own Cells and minister the Cell vision themselves
Summary of the Cell Vision • Win: To lead people into a relationship with God • Consolidate: To lead people into a commitment to Christ and his Church • Disciple: To develop Christ-like maturity in believers • Send: To set them apart for the work of ministry
And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, [even] to the end of the age." Amen. -Matthew 28:18-20
