Download or read book GROWING CHURCH SPIRITUALLY written by ISAIAH MACWEALTH and published by GP Publisher. This book was released on with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a spirit or attitude that is required to attain church growth. This spirit or attitude is an indication that church growth and explosion are near. The spirit of church growth refers to the prevailing quality or attitude displayed by one who wants to experience church growth. This refers to the dominating characteristics that a church or pastor who desires church growth should display. When I see a minister who truly wants his church to grow, there are some tendencies and dispositions that I observe that make me know that the person is gearing up for church growth. I see a hunger that often translates into actions that in time trigger church growth. Therefore, any pastor who will experience church growth must also carry this attitude or spirit. This is what I intend to expose you to in this book. I will expatiate on the spirit of wisdom, the heart of sacrifice, spiritual prayers, and the spirit of faithfulness.
