MM33 Advances into Adoption Phase

By General Superintendent Rev Dominic Yeo

The definition of ADOPTION is the act of accepting, embracing, or starting to use something, as an idea, behavior, characteristic, or principle. Adoption is owning it. The official signing of signatures on the MM33 covenant is our prophetic declaration to embrace and commit our national councils and churches to engage in the greatest work of evangelism, discipleship, and church planting the world has ever seen.

That prophetic act of signing the MM33 covenant signified marching together in unity to see the mighty moves of God in our world.

At the 2023 October WAGC held in Madrid, MM33 shifted gears and advanced into the Adoption Phase with the signing of the MM33 covenant that bore the signatures of General Superintendents from almost 70 countries. That prophetic act of signing the MM33 covenant signified marching together in unity to see the mighty moves of God in our world.

What are the seven movements of God to look forward to as we adopt MM33?

Healthy Churches. Without healthy churches, we won’t be able to plant healthy sustainable churches. A church strong in seeing conversions, water baptisms, serving, nurturing, discipleship programs, and so much more! As such, I see many churches taking steps to evaluate where they are so that they can seal the cracks and become a stronger vessel for the Kingdom.

Discipleship. There will be an increase in discipleship when we want healthy churches. It’s hand in glove. Discipleship is also crucial in enabling believers to grow in their spiritual hunger and desire. To help them grow in their word life, thought life, and become more like Christ. To become a people transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit to be a testimony and impact for God wherever they are.

Prayer. There will be increased calls for prayer if we are going to see multitudes come to encounter God and churches to be planted! There’s a famous quote “Without God, we cannot. Without us, He will not.” Prayer is the seedbed of every move of God. Prayer will put God’s heart and God’s agenda in ours. I’m so encouraged by the MM33 directors in the Latin American region who meet every two weeks for prayer over Zoom. Prayer is the simplest yet most powerful tool we have to engage in this kingdom initiative – will you arise to wield this weapon?

There will be generations that will continually need to be reached.

Evangelism. I cannot imagine the world being reached with the church remaining indoors. Jesus intentionally detoured so that He could meet with the woman at the well in John 4. I’m excited to see the church at work in evangelism. Not just a few super evangelists, but every disciple of God, wherever they are, taking every opportunity to be God’s love wrapped in skin. Imagine the Gospel being shared at the bus stops, in hospital waiting rooms, in the office pantry, etc. The Global mortality counter records for us that every second 1.87 persons pass away into eternity. We are in a race to lead as many as we can to spend eternity in heaven.

Next Generation. The churches that are planted today are for tomorrow’s harvest! MM33 does not and cannot end with the completion of one million churches. There will be generations that will continually need to be reached. So we constantly need to raise and release the next generation to serve their generation. Everything we establish now is for the next generation. If there is no continuity to all that we are building now, it would be a death sentence for the church.

Signs and Wonders. When a revival happens, there will be heightened spiritual awareness and atmosphere that is accompanied by signs, wonders, and miracles. Even right now, we are seeing people being healed miraculously in our churches. How exciting it will be to return to the days of the Bible when the sick are brought to the house of the Lord to be prayed for and healed! Beyond physical healings, I believe divine breakthroughs and interventions can happen in business contracts! Our God is not limited by the surrounding impending circumstances.

Church Planting. With more churches planted, there can be more centers where worship, teaching of the Word, and discipleship can take place. Since the time of Genesis 1, God has blessed us to be fruitful, increase in number, and subdue it! And if we are to look at Revelation 7:9, concludes with “a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people, and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb.” God is consistent from Genesis to Revelation. Fruitfulness and multiplication are God’s original intent for us. Multiplying churches is about seeing every corner of the earth filled with a lighthouse of God.

We are living in exciting days! The task may seem mammoth, but I call us to operate not in our natural lenses but in the supernatural realm. To partner with God and see the greatest revival in our time.

MM33进入采纳阶段

采纳的定义是接受、拥抱或开始使用某事物作为一种想法、行为、特征或原则的行为。采纳就是拥有它。MM33盟约的正式签署是我们先知性的宣告:接受并承诺我们的国家议会和教会参与世界上有史以来最大的传福音、门徒训练和教会植堂工作。

在2023年10月于马德里举行的世界神召会议会上,MM33换挡并进入采纳阶段,签署了MM33盟约。该盟约有来自近 70个国家的总督的签名。签署MM33盟约的先知性行动意味着团结一致地前进,见证神在世界上的大能运行。

当我们采纳MM33时,能期待神在哪七方面运行?

健康的教会。没有健康的教会,我们就无法植出健康可持续的教会。坚固的教会会见证归信、洗礼、服事、栽培、门训计划等方面。因此,我看到许多教会正在采取措施

门徒训练。当我们想要健康的教会时,门徒训练就会增加。这是不可或缺的。门徒训练至关重要,能使信徒更加渴慕,有属灵的饥渴,帮助他们在言语生活、思想生活上成长,变得更像基督,成为一群被圣灵的大能转化的人,无论他们身在何处,都能为神成为见证和影响。

祷告。如果我们要看到许多人来遇见神并建立更多教会,就必须多加祷告!有一句名言说:“没有上帝,我们就不能。没有我们,祂就不愿。”祷告是神一切行动的温床。祷告会使我们将神的心意和议程放在心上。拉丁美洲地区的MM33理事们每两周都通过视频会议平台(Zoom)聚集祷告,这让我深受鼓舞。祷告是我们参与这个国度倡议的最简单但最有力的工具,你愿意兴起使用这个武器吗?

传福音。我无法想象教会不走出去能如何影响世界。约翰福音第4章记载,耶稣故意绕道去见井边的妇女。我很高兴看到教会在传福音,不是几个满有恩膏的布道家在传福音,而是每一个耶稣的门徒,无论他们身在何处,都抓住一切机会成为神包裹在皮肤里的爱。想象一下福音在巴士站、医院候诊室、办公室茶水间等地方被传开。全球死亡率计数器显示每秒钟有1.87人逝世。我们正在与时间赛跑,尽量带领更多人进入永生。

下一代。今天的教会植堂是为了明天的收成!MM33不会也不可能随着一百万所教会的目标达成而结束。我们必须不断把福音传给一代又一代的人。 因此,我们需要不断培养和释放下一代来服事他们的一代。我们现在所建立的一切都是为了下一代。如果我们现在正在建造的一切没有连续性,那么这对教会来说将是死刑。

神迹奇事。当复兴发生时,属灵意识和氛围将会增强,并伴随着神迹、奇事和迹象。即使是现在,我们也看到人们在我们的教会里被神迹医治。这是多么令人振奋的事,仿佛回到圣经时代,病人被带到主的殿中接受祷告和医治!除了身体上的医治之外,我相信神圣的突破和介入也可以在商业合同中发生!我们的神不受周围即将发生的情况限制。

教会植堂。随着教会植堂越来越多,就会有更多的中心可以进行敬拜、教导神的话语和门训。从创世记1章开始,神就赐福给我们,使我们生养众多,人数增多,并且管理地上的活物!启示录7:9则以“有许多的人,没有人能数过来,是从各国、各族、各民、各方来的,站在宝座和羔羊面前”为结束。神从创世记到启示录都是一致的。多结果子和人数倍增是神对我们的初衷。倍增教会就是看到全球每个角落都遍布神的灯塔。

我们生活在激动人心的日子!我们的任务看似艰巨,但我呼吁大家不用以肉眼,而以超自然的目光行动,与上帝同工,见证我们这个时代最伟大的复兴。
