2. But how do we define Exponential
Life?
Most of us thinks that Exponential Life is define
as living a…
LUXURIOUS LIFE…
LUXURIUOS LIFESTYLE….
LUXURIOUS PROPERTY…
LUXURIOUS CHURCH…
LUXURIOUS MINISTRY….
3. In order to experience the Exponential
Reward, we must live the
Exponential life first.
4. Because we are consumed by the
TEMPORARY THINGS rather than
focused on the ETERNAL THINGS
Our GOAL as Christian is not to be RICH and
GAIN MATERIAL THINGS AND PROPERTY.
Our GOAL is to CHANGE our CHARACTER into
like CHRIST, to LIVE LIKE CHRIST LIVED…
TO OFFER OUR LIFE TO BE USED BY GOD…
5. • Col 3:1 If then you have been raised with
Christ, seek the things that are above, where
Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.
• Col 3:2 Set your minds on things that are
above, not on things that are on earth.
6. Biblical Examples of People who lived
an Exponential life in God
Our Lord Jesus Christ
lived a simple life
here on earth and
did not even own a
horse to ride but He
lived an exponential
life , He offered His
life to all of us…
7. • John the Baptist the
greatest man who
ever lived according
to Jesus wears a
simple clothes and
eats simple foods live
in simple shelter.
8. The 12 Apostles lived
a simple life and not
luxurious ministry.
They did not have
CHARIOTS and
horses.
They Tele-Transport
like Philip.
9. • The EARLY BELIEVERS did not build CATHEDRALS
but only met in homes. They build the True
temples, The BELIEVERS.
10. Church History records the downfall of
Christianity when Christians started to
build Cathedrals
11. • Europe the place of Great Revivals are filled
today of empty Cathedrals turned into BARS
Writing in The Wall Street Journal,
Naftali Bendavid describes empty churches
that entrepreneurs and city officials have
repurposed as skateboard parks, gymnastic
training arenas, museums, supermarkets,
gyms, and even bars.
12. The Rise of MEGA CHURCHES and the
DECLINE OF FRONTIER MISSION
Today many christian groups study shows
christian churches spending most of their
church money to build mega-churches and run
out of budget for building small churches, no
budget for missions & missionaries , no
budget for helping the poor, and equipment
and materials.
13. • Church history also records the downfall of
Ministers of God as they turn to PRIDE AND
GLORY of building CATHEDRALS as memorial
of their ministry .
• They FORCE church members to SACRIFICE IN
FINANCIAL GIVING.
• The rise of CULT RELIGIONS.
14. Cult Leaders – Touch of Judas
• Joh 12:4 But Judas Iscariot, one of his
disciples (he who was about to betray him),
said,
• Joh 12:5 “Why was this ointment not sold for
three hundred denarii and given to the
poor?”
• Joh 12:6 He said this, not because he cared
about the poor, but because he was a thief,
and having charge of the moneybag he used
to help himself to what was put into it.
15. • The Touch of Judas is
a demonic anointing
that manipulates
peoples mind by
using scriptures
about giving and
force people to be so
convicted that they
will give their money.
16. Error of Balaam Creeping inside the
Churches
• 2 Pet. 2:15 Forsaking the right way, they
have gone astray. They have followed the
way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who loved
gain from wrongdoing,
• 2 Pet. 2:19 They promise them freedom, but
they themselves are slaves of corruption. For
whatever overcomes a person, to that he is
enslaved.
17. • 2 Tim. 3:1 But understand this, that in the last
days there will come times of difficulty.
• 2 Tim. 3:2 For people will be lovers of self,
lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive,
disobedient to their parents, ungrateful,
unholy,
18. Comparison
CULT LEADERS TEACHING JESUS TEACHING

19. Every Christian will give an account
• 1 Cor. 3:12 And if anyone builds on this
foundation gold, silver, precious stones,
wood, hay, stubble,
• 1 Cor. 3:13 each one's work shall be revealed.
For the Day shall declare it, because it shall be
revealed by fire; and the fire shall try each
one's work as to what kind it is.
20. Cleansing Judgment of God
• Heb 12:26 At that time his voice shook the
earth, but now he has promised, “Yet once
more I will shake not only the earth but also
the heavens.”
• Heb 12:27 This phrase, “Yet once more,”
indicates the removal of things that are
shaken—that is, things that have been
made—in order that the things that cannot be
shaken may remain.
21. • Amo 1:13 Thus says the LORD: “For three
transgressions of the Ammonites, and for
four, I will not revoke the punishment,
because they have ripped open pregnant
women in Gilead, that they might enlarge
their border.
