Good day, friends,

the grace of God and Divine Providence "The Convener of Spiritual Growth
Scheme.

TIMETABLE FOR MAY NEW TESTAMENT READING

April 19th: Introductory Training by SGS Convener

April 20th - April 23rd: Settling of participants into Teams

April 24th – April 30th: Continuation of Training

May 1st – May 29th: Reading exercise

I also left you a 1-minute video welcome note online. If you have not seen it,
kindly use the link. https://YouTube/frkGkJxvzoM

WE ARE READING 9 CHAPTERS DAILY, RELYING ON THE HOLY SPIRIT

FOR 29 DAYS.

Difficult right? Yes, with man, but not with God, for with God, nothing shall be
impossible. If it was easy, why will you need God to help you?

But through God and with God, you can do all things. God has helped Tens of
Thousands before you. He will help you too in Jesus’ name.

As of today, Wednesday the 19th of April, we have over 63,000 entries (from
Nigeria, across Africa and beyond, spread across about 67 WhatsApp groups)
who have registered for the May edition of the New Testament Bible reading.

These 63,000 people have chosen to take on this 29 days journey to read the
New Testament in one month.

You will not be the first to do this and by the grace of God, you will not be the
last. As we said earlier, through the grace of God about 139,000 believers have
done this before you. Trust God. I'm sure everyone who actively joined this
group did so for this one purpose.

You came because in the midst of no time, you believe that God can help you to
create time to read the Bible massively daily, you came to encounter God like
many others this one month. As you have come to experience God, I pray that
He will encounter you in Jesus’ name.

Let us pray!

Our Father in heaven, we thank You because You love us, thank
You because You have a reason why You brought each person
here.

We may not know each person individually but Father You do.

You have a purpose for their lives, You love them individually
and affectionately.

As You did in many lives before, in this edition also, as Your

children read their Bibles, Lord we ask that You set them on fire.
Revive them, give gifts, restore gifts, heal the sick, wrought
mighty miracles, provide jobs, open doors, break chains, fix
families, change hearts, repair bridges, give direction, wrought
miracles, do what only You can do in their lives in Jesus’s name.

No one can come to You except You draw him, never will You
draw anyone for nought. You brought them to show Your glory.

They have chosen to seek You deliberately at this point, we ask

that You encounter them all.

In the end, it all shall be to the praise and glory of Your name.

In Jesus' Name, we pray. Amen.

For those asking or wondering what SGS means or who we are, kindly read this:

ABOUT SGS MINISTRY

The full meaning is SPIRITUAL GROWTH STEPS MINISTRY (Also Known As

Spiritual Growth Scheme). SGS is a God-given zeal that began in 2012. We are
saddled with one responsibility:

 We desire to Develop Schemes and Platforms that will Help Believers in

Coming to a Personal Relationship with God and The Knowledge of His
Christ.
 To Help Believers to Commit to Seeking God Through the Teaching of the
Word, Godly Discipline, and Accountability to One Another as "Iron
Sharpens Iron"
 To Equip Believers all over the World with The Required Tool to Fight the
Deception of The End Time - No Longer Tossed to and fro By the Wind of
Doctrine and Able to Discern Right from Wrong.
 To Raise Spirit-Filled, Prayerful and Word-Based Christians That Will Have
Great Impact on Their Homes, Churches, The Society At Large And
Generations Yet Unborn

These are the present channels that you can key into:

 NEW TESTAMENT READING CLASS (NT)

God laid it on our hearts to help as many people as possible to read up the New
Testament in one month. We believe that this will help them continue reading

4
 Spiritual Growth Scheme New Testament Reading Training Material, 2023

and studying subsequently; bringing them closer to knowing God personally,

being able to challenge false doctrine and knowing right from wrong.

 OLD TESTAMENT READING CLASS (OT)

The OT reading is an initiative that is officially imbibed based on continuous

demand by the successful participants of the NT. OT reading is strictly for those
who have passed through the NT reading. The link is usually made available
about six weeks after each NT edition.

 TEACHING PLATFORM (TP)

The Lord led us to begin some systematic teaching series online to bring people
closer to God and grow in the knowledge of Christ, we use YouTube, Mixlr and
other media to get the Word of God across from 6 pm to 7 pm every Friday.

If you want to be a part, please follow us on YouTube:

 PRAYER DRILL (PD)

Just as you are strengthened by the Word, we want to help believers to equally
get strength and capacity through individual prayers. Hence, participants will
be praying on their own in the Spirit for 24 hours spread over a period of three

3 MINUTES WITH PETER TAN CHI

Please, take 155 seconds of your time to go through this video and message by
Peter Tan Chi. I tell you it will bless you tremendously: YouTube/x6K0qH-PwUA

It may be the best 3 minutes investment ever.

You may read the "scripted video" by Peter Tan Chi below if you are unable to
access the video. I tell you it will bless you tremendously.

I noticed there are many men: if they do not want to do God's

will, they don’t want to do their part, they start giving excuses
after excuses

No 1. Excuse is this: I don’t have time. Have you heard of such

excuse?

Why are you not attending a small group? I don’t have time.

Why don’t you come and worship on Sunday? I don’t have time.
Have you heard of those excuses?

“Kung ayawgawin, maraming dahilan.”(Filipino meaning: if

you don't want to do it, there are many reasons.)

The people are doing the same, we are the problem. We will not
do it anymore.

7
 Spiritual Growth Scheme New Testament Reading Training Material, 2023

I was explaining to a group of leaders this week. I explain to

them the myth of lack of time. It’s a lousy excuse and I will not
allow you from now on to have that excuse

What do I mean?

Exhibit A: I know of a president of a multinational company. For

the longest time, we wanted to invite him to be part of a small
group to study the bible and be accountable.

You know his excuse? You know, which is valid: I'm busy, I have
meetings, I run a big organization.

One day, during his regular physical check-up, the doctor said,
"I see something in your lungs. I think you have cancer". The
moment he heard the word "cancer", suddenly he has time.

Time for what? Go and see the doctor; Physical check-up; Bible
study; Prayer time...

Why? Let me tell you why. Facing death has an amazing power
to alter your priorities.

"The myth of no time" is a lie. If a father will not give enough

time to his children, it's simply because for the father the
children are not that important. If you don’t have time to
worship God on a regular basis, that means you are not giving
it priority. if you don’t have time for bible study, for prayer, it
tells me one thing: it is not important.

8
 Spiritual Growth Scheme New Testament Reading Training Material, 2023

So do not ever deceive yourself to say you don’t have time. You
will make time for what is important and you will not have time
for what is not important.

If you have gone over it, May I ask, Is the Bible important enough to get your
attention for the next one month?

We are all busy. Do not think our leaders are bunches of lazy people who have
no job. We own businesses, many times on the road, working Sunday to Sunday,
morning till evening, and even some late nights and midnights. Apart from the
duties to church, ministry and to family. Among our leaders are several fulltime
business owners, professionals, professors, architects, medical doctors,
lawyers, pastors and many more, from nearly all age groups and works of life
across nations. It's all about priority!

We needed to say that before we consider ourselves "Mr or Mrs busy" like many
of us do to excuse ourselves from the things we don't consider important. Don't
be deceived!

This "I-am-busy" syndrome that prevents us from fellowshipping with God will
die here in Jesus’ name. THAT IS WHY WE ARE HERE!!!

AS FROM MONDAY, 24th of April, 2023, we will continue to prepare you for
this one-month journey.

You will be hearing from one of our "Platoon Leaders" early in the morning of
each day. (Definitely Nigerian time. Those outside this time zone should kindly
adjust to it. You are definitely covered. No cause for alarm)

The remaining were either removed, offended or exited the group before the
one month elapsed. In this Eighteenth edition, we have about 55,000 entries
already. The question is will you be one of those that will finish or those who
will quit?

10
 Spiritual Growth Scheme New Testament Reading Training Material, 2023

DON'T YOU EVER THINK FOR A MOMENT THAT YOU CAN'T DO IT!!!

YOU'VE GOT GOD!!! DON'T YOU?

The training to continue next week Monday will be split into six days so that
you won't be overloaded. We have about 9 short lessons to equip you with. In
the end, we will also inform you of the modalities which have proven to work
by God's grace to deliver the maximum result in all our editions.

TEAM SUB-GROUPS AND TEAM LEADERS

One of our modalities involves dividing everyone into smaller groups, headed
by a team leader. MOST OF YOU HAVE BEEN GROUPED ALREADY.

Your team leaders will begin to reach you via calls, chats or SMS as from
tomorrow, God willing.

Do not be alarmed when you hear from them. Their duty is to add you to a sub-
WhatsApp group, to closely monitor your progress and ensure that you reach
the finish line. Please note that your membership in this general group remains
compulsory.

DISCLAIMER!!!: If anyone asks you for money or any

assistance of any form, or calls you to send a code to join
a meeting, they are not from us. Our team leaders will
never ask you for anything apart from matters that
bother on your finishing strong.

TAKE CAUTION! If anyone is trying to take advantage of

you in the name of SGS or claims that they are from this
group, they are not from us. Report such persons
11
 Spiritual Growth Scheme New Testament Reading Training Material, 2023

immediately so that we can blacklist them. By their fruit,

you will know them. PLEASE AND PLEASE TAKE
CAUTION!

Please be reminded that the actual Bible reading begins on Monday, 1st of May,
2023. Prepare your heart to encounter God.

We have come to the end of today's introduction.

FINALLY

Now you know what SGS is, you know what we want to do in the next few days
ahead of the reading and when the reading is commencing. Stay tuned for more
information during the course of the week. Don't be distracted or offended, you
know why you are here; I promise you; you are about to encounter God like
never before.

Your batch leader will open the group shortly for comments if they have not.
The group will be closed later tonight, to be opened twice daily for about 2hrs.

If you don't hear from our leaders today or tomorrow, do well to exercise
patience. We have thousands of leaders and tens of thousands of participants.
You will be reached. If you have not been reached by Wednesday, you can begin
to raise alarm so that your batch leaders can investigate why and fix it.

No spamming or forwarding of any religious content or any content whatsoever

to this group. Violators will be removed on sight.

 Note that the video version of this training which is more engaging is
available on YouTube through this link: https://youtu.be/zQU5PjrZVzQ

subsequently.

Thanks so much for having us. God bless you richly.

Welcome to your best month ever!

Shalom.
