One Million Saints – Morning Message #10
Yesterday evening during my prayer/meditation session, a lofty vision for the Universal Hagar’s Spiritual Church came to mind. We are not where we should be as a body, membership wise that is, but we are growing. In the vision, I saw many saints coming in the temple doors. I heard, “There will be one million saints.” Amen.
Again, this is very lofty, but possible. Let’s use an example of a church that starts out with a strong pastor and three dedicated saints. If each member was mandated with bringing in one convert per year, and each year new members followed the mandate, the three member church will grow exponentially. After one year there will be six members. After two year there will be 12 members. After year ten there will be 3072 members!
Of course retention and commitment are always an issue, but I think you get my point. Furthermore, we have the benefit of having pastors spread across the nation. And if memberships, across the nation, grew like this, more pastors will emerge, go on the field, and repeat the successful model.
One Million Saints. It will be so, maybe even within my lifetime. GLORY! What a wonderful thought.
