READ: Matthew 25:14-30
“A wicked messenger falleth into mischief: but a faithful ambassador is health.” – Proverbs 13:17
Many churches, businesses and individuals need to tap into the key of loyalty in order to expand. If you are a businessman you can only make a certain amount of money from one community. That is what we call localized growth. After a while, the community will be saturated with what you are selling. That is why you need to expand into different geographical locations.
Years ago, our church was directed by the Lord to expand into different communities in the city. I followed the direction of the Holy Spirit and moved into several localities within the city. This has resulted in tremendous growth. Today, the strength of Lighthouse Chapel International has immensely multiplied into the different communities of our city. Besides, we have also expanded into several regions of our nation Ghana and into several other countries.
God is a God of expansion. God wants you to have big dreams. You can fill the city with your shops, businesses or whatever you trade in. If you are a pastor, what you are doing can be expanded into many places. You can have many churches. It is possible to expand but you must grasp the principles that make expansion possible.
One of the keys to expansion and growth is loyalty. You will need loyal people at all the outlets you establish. Without loyal people in position, everything you do will crumble after a while.
