KEY #1- CHOOSE 12 DISCIPLES AND MEET WITH THEM WEEKLY. (These are D.G leaders that you believe can and desire to build a massive network with.)
Mark 3:14 (WE) He chose twelve disciples to stay with him….
KEY #2- PASS ON KEY #1- TO EACH OF THE 12. (Have them choose 12 and meet with them on a weekly basis. In this meeting you will teach and discuss weekly leadership lesson, review progress, review and set goals, share big vision of how many people we are going to disciple for the Kingdom of Heaven.)
Luke 6:40 (ESV) A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher.
Note: Wouldn’t it be awesome that we build and develop so many disciple making leaders and D.G’s that it will be easier to count leaders than people.
KEY #3- HAVE A CLEAR VISION OF WHAT YOU DESIRE TO ACCOMPLISH/BUILD. (This is going to take a lot of prayer and meditation. You must develop a clear vision and a clear “why” I order to accomplish something great.)
1) WE HAVE A VISION TO DECLARE. (If someone asks you: What have you been up to? Or What is your vision? You won’t say “Nothing much”. Nothing new is coming if you don’t have the vision or faith to see it or declare it. You have a dream to share. You and I must spend some time day dreaming and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal Gods vision/dreams to us.)
Genesis 37:5-6 (ESV) 5 Now Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers they hated him even more. 6 He said to them, “Hear this dream that I have dreamed:
Insight: God desires to pass on His vision and dreams to us. Unless a person on earth gets a God vision/dream it will never come to pass.
2) A CLEAR & PASSIONATE VISION BUILDS OUR FAITH AND CONFIDENCE. (The clearer the vision of where you are headed and what you are building is, the more your personal confidence and faith in God will grow.)
Hebrews 10:35-36 (ESV) 35 Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. 36 For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God you may receive what is promised.
Insight: You will confidence because everything is not going to go your way and not as fast as you thought it would happen. (Without confidence you will get offended, give up and not be able to endure through the process. All dreams/visions will be tested, it is your responsibility to believe and continue to press towards the vision even when others don’t believe in it.)
3) GOD DEVELOPS US TO FULFILL VISION. (We start out with a vision/dream we don’t start out prepared. It is the Vision/ dream that God uses to prepare us, equip and mold us. Ex. Development process began the moment he got dream a declared it. His brothers hated him and sold off to become a slave, Potifers wife lies about him, Joseph becomes falsely imprisoned and apparently forgotten-from the moment of the dream to its fulfillment was a 13 year process of development.)
Quote: “God gives dreams and visions but only fulfills them through the prepared.”
Genesis 37:8 (ESV) His brothers said to him, “Are you indeed to reign over us? Or are you indeed to rule over us?” So they hated him even more for his dreams and for his words…. 26 Then Judah said to his brothers, “What profit is it if we kill our brother and conceal his blood? 27 Come, let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hand be upon him, for he is our brother, our own flesh.” And his brothers listened to him. 28 Then Midianite traders passed by. And they drew Joseph up and lifted him out of the pit, and sold him to the Ishmaelites for twenty shekels of silver. They took Joseph to Egypt.
Insight: In this stage of development with labor, experiment, fail, improve, repent, change, die to our old selves and reach the end of our resources so that we can fully rely on God.
4) GOD WILL GIVE US A DIVINE INSIGHT AND A PLAN TO ACCOMPLISH VISION. (He will give us supernatural insight, revelation, systems, methods, wisdom, etc. . We will experience a “miracle of ingenuity”.)
Ingenuity: the quality of being inventive, resourceful and having the skill being able to conceive breakthrough ideas. Genius, brilliance, inventiveness, creativity, wisdom.
Genesis 4:14 (ESV) Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they quickly brought him out of the pit. And when he had shaved himself and changed his clothes, he came in before Pharaoh. 15 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I have had a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it. I have heard it said of you that when you hear a dream you can interpret it.” 16 Joseph answered Pharaoh, “It is not in me; God will give Pharaoh a favorable answer.”…
5) PEOPLE WILL HEAR THE VISION AND PLAN AND WILL GAIN THE CONFIDENCE TO FOLLOW AND SUPPORT US. (They will join the vision, your D.G Network, your church, ministry, give you their time, resources and connections and will begin to share the vision for you- “Word of mouth”.)
Genesis 41:37-40 (ESV) 37This proposal pleased Pharaoh and all his servants. 38 And Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find a man like this, in whom is the Spirit of God?”39 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has shown you all this, there is none so discerning and wise as you are. 40 You shall be over my house, and all my people shall order themselves as you command. Only as regards the throne will I be greater than you.”
6) GOD WILL HELP US TO BRING VISION TO PASS. (He will breath His favor and blessing on our efforts to cause it all to come together. We can not accomplish a God vision without God.)
Ephesians 3:20 (ESV) Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all
