Summary of closing message by Erlo Stegen
`How to grow'
For those of you who have surrendered your lives to Jesus Christ you need to know how
can one remain spiritually alive
WATCH AND PRAY. Don't allow sin in your life or give any room to the devil. Example: A
certain Malawian church suddenly became stagnant. In response, the conregation met more
regularly to pray for growth. The numbers continued to dwindle until a member confessed to
having stolen money from a recently widowed family. When this was dealt with the church
promptly gained new life and members.
If you want your personal life with God (and your church) to grow then remember to watch
and pray.
HAVE REGULAR TIMES WITH GOD. Intimiate prayer and reading of the Bible are very
important for spriritual growth. The Bible is your food - eat it daily as often as you
can.
HAVE FELLOWSHIP WITH THOSE WHO ARE SURRENDERED TO THE LORD. A red hot coal loses its fire
if it is isolated.
SPREAD THE GOSPEL. Witness to others about Jesus Christ. The gospel is vital for any
progress or civilization to occur. Spread the Good News
