Bishop emphasized the importance of order and structure in ministry, drawing from Matthew 14:13-21, where Jesus fed 5,000 people after organizing the crowd. He taught that submission to God's authority and proper structure are necessary for supernatural multiplication and effectiveness in ministry. Bishop challenged leaders to examine areas where they may be trying to handle tasks independently of God or without proper organization, encouraging them to bring everything to God first and to implement structure in their ministry efforts.
Structured Ministry for Growth and Blessing
Bishop emphasized the importance of structure in ministry, explaining that it invites stewardship and enables better management of people and resources. He highlighted the need for improved systems of assimilation for new and returning church members, expressing his personal concern about visitors not returning. Bishop also discussed the principle of blessing before multiplication, drawing a parallel between the biblical story of the loaves and fishes and the church's need to prepare for multiplication rather than just growth. He concluded by urging the congregation to bring everything to Jesus, bring it into order, and watch God increase what they have.

Bishop emphasized the importance of mentoring and equipping new church members through a three-part assimilation process, known as the E3 formula, to ensure healthy church growth. He set a goal of reaching 75 consistent adult members by October and encouraged leaders to leverage their influence to attract new members. Bishop stressed the need for organization and preparation for overflow, highlighting that the church's growth is limited by the leaders' efforts and mindset.

Bishop emphasized the importance of communicating in advance with ministry leaders about any absence from Sunday service. He expressed frustration with last-minute notifications and encouraged a culture of transparency and preparedness. Bishop also discussed the church's financial goals, noting that the weekly target is $3,000, and highlighted that July's contributions fell short of this mark. He and Brother Jason review weekly numbers to ensure proper ministry funding and savings.
Church Financial Goals and Leadership
Bishop emphasized the importance of financial goals, specifically targeting $12,000 for August, and stressed the need for leaders to be consistent tithers and readers. He shared his personal desire to be the largest tither in the church while also supporting the ministry's needs. Bishop highlighted the improvement in financial performance compared to the previous year and expressed his commitment to maintaining the church's operations, including paying bills and supporting the musical staff, without relying on the church board for personal financial support.
