Now we have completed our ten week training on the ‘Kingdom of God’ we realize God is looking for transformed lives.
The Apostles are looking for a much easier workload within this Church. We won’t quarrel, we won’t strive, and we won’t battle anymore, because now you have been enlightened. We have had our minds opened. We expect to see more in the Kingdom and in this Church from today. We have been empowered, we now look for an empowered congregation.
We look for:
1. Changed work places
2. Changed congregations
3. We look for changed neighborhoods
4. We looked for a change clique of friends
5. We look for a changed environment
6. We look for changed and transformation
Here is my one very important note I wish to leave with my fellow students:
