Messages to be given during Troop Church meetings
Sn.NO Week Message
1 Week 1 Ezek. 37:1-14.
The Lord raises an Army from dry bones. Out of hopelessness new life begins. As Ezekiel spoke to the dry bones speak to your body, every part of it- nerves, bones, ligaments, muscles, skin, all other organs to be renewed with God’s breath. Speak to your soul – mind, will and emotions (depression, guilt, shame, rejection, loneliness, inferiority, poor self-image, lack of ambition, lack of vision, hatred, bitterness, jealousy, self-glory, vain glory, unhealthy competition, judging others, bondage of divisions, bondage of religiosity, lust, sinful life discriminating others etc…) to be transformed by God’s breath.
Speak to your spirit- enthusiasm, joy, peace, faith, hope, prayerfulness, alertness, time consciousness, etc….
You will find yourself coming out of the grave, many graves, graves of enmity, hopelessness etc. Jesus has given you a new life!
2 Week 2 Mark 16:17-18, Mat 10:1, Lk. 9:1, 10:19.
These are the 5 signs of a believer:
  1. Casting out demons
  2. Speaking in new tongues
  3. Handling serpents to destroy the activities of Satan.
  4. Drink poisonous things. Nothing will harm
  5. Lay hand on the sick. They will be healed.
From the very same day one accepts Jesus, these signs will appear. As a child learns the first letters of alphabet ABCDE in a school, these 5 signs will immediately come into effect in a believer. In the 2nd sitting, this should be practised among believers in Troop Churches and outside. Narrate examples.

    Finding 10 new souls for making disciples and fixing the place for new Troop Church. Praying for it.
7 Week 7 New Testament Worship –offering body as a living , holy, acceptable sacrifice Rom. 12:1-2.
All human beings have tendencies to offer something to God the Creator. Various offerings in various religions Flowers, incense, hair, money, first fruits of harvest, animals, bulls, wine etc. What the Lord says about this , Ps. 50:10-14 Every animal of forest and every bird in the sky is mine.
In the Old Testament those who offered lame, blind animals received punishment from God. Malachi: 1:6,8,11, 2:1-3.
Our body should be offered as a blameless sacrifice.
Have a check-up before offering it! .
Are my eyes holy? Mat 5:27-29
Is my tongue holy or defiled? Mat 5: 22, 12:36, James 3:2, 5-6, 8-11. When the fleshly body is offered as a sacrifice, every organ, cell in it offered as a burnt offering, (Lev. 1:6) mind will get transformed. (Rom 12:2)
Result? Will be able to discern what is pleasing to God, what is the perfect will of God.
We will become a new creation (2 Cor. 5:17), not conformed to the world. (Mat 5,6,7 chapters recommended)

Jesus becoming a slave for us. Jn 14:24 – Surrendering completely to the Father ready to be sown as a seed.
Jesus loved his disciples till the end. John 13:1.
At the end of 3 years, Jesus’ training looks to be incomplete& a failure in the eyes of the world. But He knew His time to leave them has come. He entrusted them to the Father, Jn 17:1-26.
Offering Himself as a sacrifice was the completion and culmination of His training them. Phil 2:4-11
Anointing &dispersal for starting new troops.
Alert the soldiers about the 3 enemies in the battle they are going to fight.
  1. Satan. 1 Jn 3:18. Jesus won victory over Him.
  2. Flesh. Gal 5:17,18. Holy Spirit should be your Master, not your body or instincts – Rom.8:14
  3. The World James 4:4. Lk. 16;15.
The 3 main weapons of Satan:
  1. Pride. Is 14: 13-15, Job 33:17, Pro 8:13, 11:2, 16:18, 29:23, Mark 7:22, 1 Jn 2:16 Overcome pride with the weapon of humility. Phil 2:3-11.
  2. Love of Money. 1 Tim. 6:6-10 , Mark 6:24, Lk 16:9, 11,13, Lk 16:14, 2 Tim 3:2, Heb. 13:5 Overcome the temptation of money with contentment, making Jesus your model. Pro. 10:22, Lk. 2:16, Mat 27:57-59.
  3. Attachment: Lk. 14:25,26, 9:23-26, Lk.8:20,21, Gen. 22:1,2. Overcome this temptation of attachment to persons, places by detaching oneself in such a way that God could be given first and foremost place in your life.
  4. Final day of committing the Troop Church members & the new Troops to Jesus. Anointing.


In exceptional cases of new believers, if they seem to be immature in the discernment of good and evil (Heb. 5:13-14) they could be kept with the leader for some more time, but it should not exceed 1 month. Before the anointing, the members should be made to fill up the Troop Application for the new troop with new troop members. Just before the concluding prayer, each one will lay their hands over the names written and prophecy Ezek. 37:4-6.
