Bless this new church

First of all I thank God for making Asia Bible College come to pass 

It is answered prayer that this institution is being used by our Lord for ministry 

And it is our privilege that God allowed us to open ABC Church here in this area today 

Thank you for attending this opening ceremony with us 

We hope that this is not the last to see you here but just the beginning 

May the Lord pour his blessing upon us all and to this new church. 

if you have your bible shall we open it to the book of Acts chapter 2; 42~47 

"They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need.  Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved." 

Father! we thank you for giving this opportunity 

to start new church in this place 

and We believe that it is your will that 

we establish this church, a church of mission 

Father as we humbly start this congregation, 

we pray in the name of Jesus, you bless this church 

many lost will come back to your guiding light through this church 

and use this church mightily according to your will 

and as we listen to your word 

Let Your Holy Spirit take full control of your servant 

and let your servant  speak forth your word, 

Father you anoint this service with your power 

and bless your people 

Thank You for your presence in Jesus name we pray Amen. 

Once again we thank God for giving us the great opportunity to open this church 

And I believe and claim that God will use this church for his Glory and kingdom. 

Church should grow and prosper 

Church Growth and prosperity is the will of God 

God wants all the people here in this world to be saved 

Everyone who calls in the name of the Lord will be saved. 

People can meet God through the church 

maybe There is lot of church here in la Trinidad and Baguio city 

Yet many people here are pagan 

still they do not know how to be saved 

That is why we need more church 

and church should grow and prosper more and more 

because, the Gospel must preached into all the earth 

and spread the end of the world amen 

God send his only son to this world to establish church  

meaning, He bought church through the blood of Jesus  

Nothing can change the Church 

Because the church was paid by Jesus blood 

Church is the most valuable to us 

That is why church should grow amen 

For example 

Some one start their business 

when they open new store 

May be they will try their best for the business 

Who wants their business to be bankrupt? 

For example 

You plant potato in your field 

Will you not care for your plant? 

Never mine it will harvest or not .. will you do that ? 

Of course not you will try your best in farming 

You will put fertilizer… if there are weeds you will remove 

And If there is raining you will make waterway, 

so it will not be flooded and so on  

Brothers and sisters 

It is the same with our church 

When we open the church 

When we pioneer new church 

Church growth is not my business 

Never mine it will grow or not 

You will think like that? 

Brothers and sisters 

the church should grow and prosper 

and The church should have passion to grow 

Therefore we should try our best to growing church  for the glory of God 

People can be blessed through the church of God 

People can encounter the power of God through the church amen 

Prosperity is God's will for us 

so we should have the desire to prosper 

our soul should prosper 

our family should prosper 

our nation the Philippines also should prosper amen 

so we should pray for our church growth 

not only our church should grow but other church grow as well 

and we should pray for all the church in the world 

when we start Asia bible college in Janelco building 

we rented that building and we paid forty thousand pesos monthly 

so we pray to God 

Father you bless ABC you prosper ABC 

Give us permanent territory and building 

And God is answering our prayer 

God gave us a permanent lot 

after that I picture in my mind 

even I draw perspective of school (showing the picture) 

and we pray to God 

father you give us like this building 

praise god 

And now we have building construction praise the Lord 

Now we open new church here 

we pray that this church will Grow and prosper as well 

In the early church , they increase the number daily 

They do not increase monthly neither weekly 

But they increase the number daily 

and we pray that the same power and blessings come to this church 

then how the early church is powerful like that 

No1) the early church 

The people devoted themselves to apostles teaching 

meaning, when apostles were preaching the word of God, 

there is power 

Today, we also need this power when we preach the word of God 

if our message is strong, our ministry will be strong 

but the massage is weak, our minister will be weak 

we have to know this one 

For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power. 

This word(showing the bible) written by inspired of Holy Spirit 

So without the power of the Holy Spirit we can not understand this word. 

the gift of the word of knowledge, among the gift of the Spirit 

And we need this gift and this power 

Then the church will grow 

people will devote themselves to the preaching 

and church will become powerful 

no2)in the early church, All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. 

in other word  they love each other 

because of over flowing love they met everyday and share every thing 

brothers and sisters 

the church should over flow with love 

we should be bind by Christ love 

and we should unite and be in harmony with his love 

you know, even there is miracle and wonders 

if there is no love we have nothing 

the church should overflow love 

Because; God is love.  

and what God wants is love. 

So practice love of God share his love to others 

and I want this church to be a generous church Amen 

no3) in the early church, they pray every day 

todays passage verse 42 it says 

"They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer." 

they met everyday, not only fellowship, not only share bread but to prayer as well 

everyday they were gathering together and prayed 

brothers and sisters 

I really want this church to be a church of prayer 

and I want all of you to become men of prayer 

you know i'm not envious of those who has marami pera 

i'm not jealous whose driving a pajero 

but I envy someone who pray lot. 

there is power in prayer 

without prayer church will not grow 

God does not guarantee those who do not pray 

there is no other way but prayer 

the most important thing today and tomorrow is prayer 

So brothers and sisters 

pray is the way of blessing 

pray is the way of growing 

pray is the way of empowering 

when David yonggi cho retired church 

one of reporter asked him? 

what is the secret of your successful ministry ? 

and he answered " prayer' 

and through prayer, I believe and claim that this church will grow. 

May God bless all of you 

Father once again we thank you for letting us gathering here in your name and worship you and praise you 

and we thank you that you allow us to open new church here in this place 

father bless this church and make this church the church of prayer church of love and church of power 

use this church to make real impact on the lost 

and bless all this church workers 

Meet their ministerial and personal needs to overflowing. 

Provide richly to their emotional, spiritual, and physical needs. 

and use them mightily for your kingdom and your glory 

and I also pray for your blessing to be upon us all today and forever in Jesus name amen
