Apostolic ministry flows out of the gift of Apostles and is
known by its ability to reproduce itself.
We see the evidence of this in how the ministries are spiritually
reproduced from one generation to another.
While the generations are first defined through personal relationships
between spiritual fathers and mothers with spiritual sons and daughters, the
Kingdom will always demonstrate relationship through the community that each are
planted in.
The father to son order within a local church will produce
relationally in respect to the community that the local church is planted in. If relationship is drawn to an equipping
order of ministry within the local church, the ministry will harvest sons
within the same ministry. Within the
same local church, if ministry is drawn for the purpose of discipling various
aspects of community life, the gifts will reproduce after an order that builds
people within that specific community.
Once the ministries become trans-generational, we see a tension drawn
between what measures the father to son order.
When a plumb line is formed between the balance of the two, we again see
apostolic ministry begin to progress. As
long as the function of apostolic ministry remains within a local church
setting, it will continue to reproduce after this order.
Even as these works continue within the local church, we see
another order being drawn to more regional ministry. Local church ministry is as a womb to birth
sons and daughters into the various functions of ministry that build people
within specific community. Outside of
a local church order, apostolic team ministry serves to birth sons and
daughters through an order that is more relational to community development in
respect to the marketplace. Here,
standards are raised for the purpose of building community life, as opposed to
building people within communities.
From apostolic ministry that operates through regional and
national Elders, the move of the spirit operates more for the purpose of
releasing revelation towards witty inventions, technology, wisdom and strategy. These strategies are purposed to build nations
through their economy. When spiritual
fathers and mothers begin to see the glory resting on the sons for this purpose,
it’s needful to become assembled within an order that will release the sons
into these purposes. If fathers and
mothers are misaligned through the community that they’re engaged with, the
doors of destiny remain closed to the sons.
Ministry will always reproduce in respect of the community that the
fathers are aligned with.
Once the plurality of Elders and Leaders are present within
this order, apostolic ministry begins reproducing outwardly. Ministry begins to take shape much like the
spokes of a wheel. The wheel within
begins serving as the hub that empowers the outer works in their various
forms.
The Kingdom of God is very near for the purposes that the
spirit is about to move in. We want to be alert and ready to enter into
these appointed times to see the fullness being demonstrated through the sons.
Kingdom blessings,
