Cell Your Life!

Our bodies and every living creature consist of millions and millions of cells working in unity. The reality is we cannot live without them. Within each cell is carried the DNA, the genetic coding of life itself. With our bodies, we can reach out and touch the world around us. Or else, we would be disembodied spirits, unable to influence and impact our world. Naturally, cells will seek to multiply themselves, reproducing after their own kind, or transitioning to fulfill different functions according to hormonal influences. What is real of the physical body is true of the body of Christ, the Church.

We see the origins of the church began with Jesus calling the 12 to Him. His Master plan was to make a small intimate fellowship of disciples around Him, pouring His life - His "DNA" - into them. It was in this small "Life Cell" meeting that Jesus built relationship with them, taught and trained them, imparted authority and power, and sent them out to minister and witness. "Then He selected twelve, that they might be with Him and that He might send them out to preach and to have power to heal sicknesses and cast out demons" (Mark 3:14-15). Later, the Holy Spirit would replicate the same kind of ministry in the lives of subsequent believers.

The DNA of Jesus has been successfully reproduced from Christ's "twelve" to this burgeoning new church in Acts (Acts 4:13). They knew how to build their lives upon the Word of God. They knew how to make close fellowship with each other so that no one is in need. Throughout the history of the Church, whenever the Holy Spirit needed to move in revival power, the phenomena of Life Cells was used as the structure to convey His healing works. A main example is the ministry of John Wesley and his "classes" for believers. In more recent history, over the last thirty years, we see those churches throughout the world who are experiencing explosive growth are Life Cell Churches.
