Expansion means Growth , Expansion means Fruit ; Expansion in the word of God is always the advancement of Gods Kingdom and a fulfillment to a Promise from God for Gods People
One of our Promise Scriptures is
Is 54:2-3...Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations : spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes; ( dont hold back have big Vision) Because
Is 54:3... For thou shalt break forth( to break through or down or over, burst, breach) on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit (to seize, dispossess, take possession off, inherit, disinherit, occupy, impoverish, be an heir).
The promise is ours but we must take it like the way the Israelites took the promise land it was given to them but they had to Battle nations and Giants they had to dispossess It ) Thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.
3rd Wave is Your promise too Its not Just About the G.A.N.G its about The Called ..... Are you called here Tonight!!! Do you hear the Call...
The 3rd wave is not about a certain Group of People It is A Move of God!
To expand we all need to identify with the Calling and what calling is that?... It is to Reach, Teach, Disciple and send out Men women and couples into the inner cities of the world to start Churches homes and Centers...
Mainly to reach inner city People Thats our Calling and we’ve been doing it since 1967....
In order to expand and to get the results we are looking for through this 3rd wave..... it requires a few things; it requires A Sense of Calling, Zeal ( no room for apathetic people... God don't like Lazy),
Willingness to Sacrifice ( In a world where everything revolves around self—protect yourself, promote yourself, preserve yourself, entertain yourself, comfort yourself, take care of yourself— Jesus said, “Slay yourself.”)
Discipline... He who lives without Discipline will die without Dignity ( the 3rd wave without discipline will be disastrous), Discipleship.. (Disciples are not Born they are made), Faith ( without Faith it is Impossible to Please God) and Unity... ( The 3rd wave Needs everyone to Get involved)
A sense of Calling... To expand and be apart of the 3rd Wave..... we need a sense of Calling because it breeds Motivation and affects our attitude a sense of calling, affects our work attitude.. A sense of Calling keeps us on Track ....
Prov 29:18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: They cast off restraint , nothing to keep them in line and focused , without a sense of calling were headed no where with any road taking us there we need to Expand , Stick to the vision , we need to work the Vision ... “ The Vision Works”.
We like to call it the vision of Victory Outreach ... But its Gods Vision that our Founding Pastor Sonny Arguinzoni believed sensed the Calling and ran with it
Brought to a bunch of rag tag misfits and they in turn like the Apostle Paul writes
2 Tim 2:2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
Its what we were born for a sense of calling says “ I Love What I Do! I was born for This And i will do it until i drop.....
I Believe that i came to this Ministry in middle of the 1st wave, served through the 2nd and and I’m gonna ride this 3rd one... I’m a Third Waver ,,, Turn and tell your Neigbor I’m a 3rd Waver...!
Every one sitting here tonight has been Called by God for a specific work or mission to fulfill you were were born for a reason and that reason is to somehow advance The Kingdom of God here on earth.In
Romans 12:6-8 : "We all have different gifts, and we are to use Them. according to the grace given us., and we are to do it cheerfully."
Eph.4:11-12 tells us that we are to use our gifts to equip his people for works of service, so that we can help build the Church...
Finding your calling in life can sometimes be very Frustrating. Part of the Frustration comes about because some people don't understand it by thinking its for them when in reality its for others...
"A calling is God's personal, individual invitation to carry out the unique task he has for you to work thru you for others."
Phil 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure
