The business of the church is to set people free. It is time for the Church to set her own captives free, so that they can go and set others free. JESUS did not designate the church building to be a place of worship. GOD said that from the rising of the sun to the going down of the same HIS name shall be great among the Gentiles and incense will be offered in HIS name “every where” (Malachi 1:11) JESUS said that neither in this mountain nor at the temple in Jerusalem or in a church building but true worshippers will worship the FATHER in truth and Spirit “every where” (John 4:21-24).
Paul said that he desired that men should lift up their holy hands and pray “every where” (1 Timothy 2:8)
The tabernacle of GOD is with men and HE will dwell with them. Even in the New Jerusalem, there will be no temple because GOD and the LAMB are the temple. (Revelation 21:3, 22) JESUS did not come to rebuild the ornate temple of Solomon but to raise up the fallen tent of David, so that the Gentiles may seek HIS face. (Acts 15:16, Acts 15:17) GOD does not live in houses made with human hands but He lives in temples made without hands. (Acts 7:48, Acts 7:49; Mark 14:58; Daniel 2:34, Daniel 2:35) Idolatry requires temples made with human hands but the temple of the living GOD is a broken and a contrite heart. (1 Corinthians 3:16, 1 Corinthians 3:17; Psalms 51:17) JESUS did not say, “Go and build buildings” JESUS said, “Go and make disciples” (Matthew 28:19)
A resident pastor and an established congregation are a contradiction in terms, because both the shepherd and the flock, by their very nature are wanderers. (Matthew 18:10-14; John 10:16) JESUS our LORD was a wandering Shepherd. (Hebrews 13:20; Luke 13:32, Luke 13:33) JESUS has appointed the fivefold ministry gifted equippers to go out and replicate the Book of Acts, all over the world, resulting in an out of control Ekklesia planting movement. (Ephesians 4:11-13; Acts 8:6-8; Acts 16:5).
A true church will not be known for its wonderful worship, profound sermons or even nickels and noses but for the harvest of souls. Fruitful and HOLY SPIRIT filled Christians, (John 15:5) who are “in CHRIST JESUS” have already been judged, and now stand innocent with CHRIST JESUS. Recalcitrant resistance to change from regressive traditions and suppression of democracy in the church/missions negates it from being a hub of salvation for lost. GOD will not tolerate anyone destroying the image of GOD, either by violating life or the dignity of a human being or the killing of an innocent baby through abortion or even for the death of the wicked. (Exodus 20:4-5; Exodus 21:22-23; Genesis 9:5,6; Ezekiel 3:18) The church is not designed for Christians but exists for the lost. A church that has no heart for the unsaved needs a heart transplant because the heart of GOD bleeds for the perishing. (Jeremiah 31:31-34; Ezekiel 33:11; 2 Peter 3:9) The soul of the church has to change before the souls of lost men and women can change. True sign of maturity in faith is the ability to layout the road map of salvation for the lost. (Titus 1:9; 2 Timothy 2:23-26)
The Bible is GOD’s storybook. It starts with the story of the original creation, and ends with the redemption of the fallen creation by JESUS. The wounded creation is travailing for the manifestation of the sons and daughters of GOD to give vision, purpose, direction and a sense of destiny, through transforming leadership to the lost nations. (Romans 8:19)
The key to successful transformation of the community is finding master story tellers called “the persons of peace” who can CLEARLY tell the story of the Creator and the creation, to the lost. (Mark 16:15; Luke 10:6; Colossians 1:15-20)
A traditional church only caters to the designs of those who tithe abundantly. The NT Ekklesia is focused on the needs of the new believers. Just like the needs of a newborn baby, take priority over all the other agenda of a household, the new believer is the top priority of the NT Ekklesia. If an unbeliever comes, then everyone in the Ekklesia ensures that he/she is nurtured to full reproductive maturity through full participation. (1 Corinthians 14:24-26) The traditional church is like an entanglement of confusion. Power does not flow from the pulpit but from the Anointing, to move mountains, and comes from forgiving 0and loving each other. (Mark 11:23-25) A critical mass of Christianity exists in almost every country now, to bring about a total transformation, in our generation. The church needs an urgent “deployment audit” of the huge spiritual storehouse of gifts and talents locked up in the pews and the pulpit. If harnessed, it can bring about an exponential growth and multiplication of Christianity.
Theology, the knowledge of GOD, is only a small fraction of the Scriptures and is the preserve of the religious elite. Being “called” is not enough. We must have authority and skills to fulfill the calling. JESUS called his disciples, gave them the authority to raise the dead, expel demons, heal the sick and how to handle those who contradict, being a Defender of the Gospel. He also authorized them to baptize and break bread. (Luke 9:1) Jesus was a practitioner. He expects us not only to plant churches but to make it a sustainable movement to avoid attrition. (Acts 16:5).
All but a very few think that their participation in “church” is a passive one. Consistent attendance to them is of particular importance, and in their minds, fulfills their only responsibility. As was mentioned earlier, the church is not designed for passive Christians, but exists for the lost. And this is where the leaders of the church, those that are the True Disciples of the LORD, (for you shall know them by their fruits – Matthew 7:15-20) are supposed to bring forth a constant activity amongst the flock, teaching the proper Instructions from the LORD, to send forth the trained disciples into the field and spread the works of the “GREAT COMMISSION” (Matthew 28:16-20), where JESUS calls upon HIS followers to make disciples of and baptize all nations in the name of the FATHER, the SON, and the HOLY SPIRIT. Where are the Laborers ? For the harvest is plenteous, but the trained disciples are few (Matthew 9:35-38)
May the WORD of GOD be a lamp your feet and the Light unto your Path. (Psalms 119:105)
