Institute Information: Why Charter with ODB

It is a matter of Vision!

Building the Body & Community Globally

One Believer at a Time

Providing Skilled and Seasoned Laborers for the End time Harvest!

Reaching Out to 1 Billion in Need!

Preparing for the Harvest….

First, just as farmers are equipped with the correct equipment to work the soil, plant the seed, water the ground, nurture the crop and finally, harvest the crop, experiencing the fruits of their labor, with God’s grace. We as Christians need to be prepared, much like the soil, so the seed, when taken root will not be carried away, but produce, some thirty fold, some sixty fold, and some a hundred fold.

Our job is to teach you who you are in Christ, pray for you, walk with you in the authority you have been given, and help you to understand what His will is in your life and those He has called you to lead. This program has been designed to help you discover your ministry, the gifts that you have been given to help you get the job done that God has called you to, and help you raise the funds needed to allow you to either pay off your bills, allowing you to work in full time ministry, if you desire. It is designed to help feed the hungry, cloth and provide shelter for those in need, care for the sick and those in prison, (Matthew 25:31-46) as well.

Secondly, we encourage all to seek God and to be led by His Spirit in all things including being with ODB, because either it is His will for you or not or you not sure. Part of what we offer is mentorship. In mentorship it is important that you know from God that what is said to you through ODB is from Him and not us so you will pay attention, to help you grow and lead the way He wants you to.

Thirdly, if you know that you were led by God to ODB then this is where you will receive the help that He wants you to receive.

Together we can Change the world and make a difference!

Five Principles of Success

1. URGENCY: We the body can no longer sit by and wait. The cost of waiting and not acting on the Word is disease, wars, increased crime, addictions, increased taxes, and starvation, all of which decrease the quality of life.

2. OWNERSHIP: II Chronicles 7:14, speaks about the believer. We need to turn back to God and humble ourselves, seeking Him, asking Him for direction and help and be willing to turn from our ways. For some time believers have thought that the problems of the world are the fault of the non-believer, but in reality they are the fault of the believer. The good news is the believer holds the solution according to scripture. Can’t fix it if we are not willing to take responsibility for the problems.

3. LEARNING BY DOING: We as the body need to understand who we are in Christ, our authority, responsibilities, and act on that authority. Next we need to seek a vision and the guidance to know His will so we as a body can work together.

4. LIFE LONG LEARNING: As we talk with Jesus, we can never afford to think that we know it all and are doing everything that we can. We need to continue to study (II Timothy 2:15).

5. MOTIVATION

FOCUS ON THE STRENGTHS. WHAT WE DWELL ON INCREASES!

Things You Can Count On:

FOCUS: It is the Holy Spirit that is the teacher if we are willing to be open and sensitive to His Spirit.

QUALITY: It is God’s message to each believer, individually and as a Church. He will lead you to the conclusion of what needs to be done. He cannot be wrong. We need to learn how to walk in the Spirit, being sensitive to the Spirit of God in each one of us, as we learn to speak to the Spirit in each believer, and not the flesh. When we learn to recognize the Spirit in us, fruit will grow, taking care of the needs of others, we will be walking in His righteousness as we will be judged according to the fruit of our spirit. You will get relevant needs based training direct from God.

RESULTS: Good seed or bad seed always produces after its own kind. His Word will never come back void. However we must be willing to set aside beliefs and seek Truth. The point of any of it is to find out who we are in Christ, our responsibility, and receive the power to accomplish our purpose.

VALUE: You will receive what God has for you. You will by using the model be able to find His will for you as an individual, as a church body, and receive His blessing.

PEACE OF MIND: By going through this you are putting God in control. it is His will and outcome. The end result is that it benefits all of us.

IT’S GUARANTEED: God and His Word are either true or not true. If it is not true nothing will change except our beliefs. God works, but the question is, so we work? If, on the other hand it is all true, then lives will be changed and you have helped reach others, setting individuals free, and doing your part to see that His will is done on earth as it is in Heaven. Jesus is alive and willing to work with all those who seek Him. We have His Word on it. In fact if you get nothing out of any of this we don’t want you to keep it. Send it back in thirty days and your money will be returned. You have nothing to loose! His power is real! It is His work, to His glory!

We are responsible both to God and each other.
