ACOP Values

[Juma]

We absolutely need the fullness of the Holy Spirit in us; Absence of the Holy Spirit is us results in to emptiness, voidances, being comfortless, unguided, and so on. Generally, we would miss all the fruits and gifts of the Holy Spirit.

It seemed that the A-team was defintely highlighting our constant and dire need for God presence and power in our own lives. We need the fullness of God, we need to pursue the fullness of God in every aspect of our lives.
To me some values that stood out was multiplication. The gospel cannot continue if it is not passed on, and it will be snuffed out if the movement is not big enough. That is why addition is not enough but we require multiplication which is all converts begin converting others.

• Two things that I really liked from the conversation about the fullness of the Spirit are that fullness in the Spirit requires an admission of our need, and it is directly related to an intimate relationship with God. I think it is easy sometimes to not admit that we need the Spirit to do our missional work, but the reality is we need the Spirit in every area of our lives. I also liked that it was mentioned how fullness in the Spirit is related to an intimate relationship with God. In order to fully live our lives in the Spirit, we need to intimately know and love God with every part of our being.
• Two values I resonate with are relationships trump geography and creating a culture of honor. I really resonate with the fact that relationships trump geography because personally, a lot of my close community does not live in my city. I have had close friends move away and I have also moved away so it is important to foster those relationships no matter the distance. I also resonate with this as I look ahead to a career in overseas missions. Creating a culture of honour resonates with me because I feel it is very important to honour each other and honour those in leadership as well.

I really enjoyed the insight about relating the fullness of the Holy Spirit to kids – and how they should not be limited in their expectations of who He is and what He can do. I think this is a great way to remind ourselves about living in the fullness because our kids, the kids in our church, and our communities, will see if we put limitations on what God can do and it will impact them.

I really love the value that we are better together. Where more than one gathers in the name of the Lord, there He is. Powerful things can happen when people gather together. Not only can people’s energy about God fuel revival in another person, but people have different viewpoints and processing, which can be so beneficial when it comes to making things happen for the kingdom of God.
