THE CELL SYSTEM
WHAT IS THE BIBLICAL HOME CELL SYSTEM LIKE?
THE HOME CELL SYSTEM WAS AN INFORMAL SYSTEM THAT WAS LED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT.
The system is not a method, a technique, or a tactic but an open-ended system whereby the Lord Jesus Christ can move freely by the power of the Holy Spirit to perform His mighty works among his people.
THE BIBLICAL HOME STUDY SYSTEM
And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ. --Acts 5:42
1. The first home Cell system is in the book of Acts; initiated by the Holy Spirit. The Lord Jesus was the Head. (Eph. 1:20-23)
2. The first home cell was on the day of Pentecost. (Acts 2: 1)
3. Two elements are crucial to bearing true fruit in the kingdom: prayer & unity. (ACTS 2:42-47; ACTS 4:32-37).
Our prayers must be in alignment with the Word of God and the Holy Spirit must lead our prayers.
4. The home cell system was an informal system that was led by the Holy Spirit (ROMANS 8:14). The system is not a method, a technique or a tactic but an open-ended system whereby the Lord Jesus Christ can move freely by the power of the Holy Spirit. To perform His mighty works among his people.
5. The Apostles were the only five-fold ministers at the birthing of the church. These ministers trained the saints to do the work of the Home Cell ministry. (Acts 2: 41-47, Ephesians 4: 11-12) The Fivefold trained them to be disciples of Jesus Christ. They operated in the gifts of the Holy Spirit as he willed.
6. The saints were in communion with God first and then with each other daily.
7. The apostle Paul taught the people who were saved, publically and from house to house. (Acts 20:20)

WHY HOME BIBLE STUDY LEADERS TRAINING?
Jesus is building His church upon the Rock and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. The church is the called out ones who have been saved by His grace. The coming harvest will bring in an influx of new believers into the church who will need the cell ministry. They will need a home and a family to love and support them. This can only be provided in an intimate environment. During this time we need to prepare and train laborers for the coming harvest. The Lord wants to use our homes and businesses for His work and ministry. The church buildings will no longer be sufficient for the work ahead.
