FIVE STEPS of MATURITY cycle

FIVE STEPS of MATURITY cycle

1. A Person of Peace: An apostolic team of two or three finds out the person of peace like Cornelius and Lydia. They stay in their house, eat with them, miracles take place and a believer’s church is birthed. (Luke. 10:1-9) 

2. A Believer: ‘He who believes and is baptized will be saved and these signs shall follow - they shall expel demons...pray for the sick and they will be healed. They will go and preach everywhere’. (Mark 16: 15-20)

3. A Disciple: is one who makes many disciples. Going to the church makes you no more a disciple than going to a repair shop makes you a mechanic. A disciple takes up his cross and is willing to suffer to make more disciples of Christ. (John 15:8,16; Luke. 9:23)

4. An Elder: An elder is a man or a woman of character, given to hospitality, well equipped to convict unbelievers and those who oppose. Elders must feed the flock willingly and not for filthy lucre. Peter called himself a fellow elder. There will be elders even in heaven. (Titus. 1:5-9; 2:3-6;1.Peter. 5:1-3; Rev. 4:4)

5. Saints: Disicples are to found only in the gospels and Book of Acts but not in the Epistles for they have all matured into saints, who are committed to fulfill Abrahamic covenant to be blessing to all nations. (Ps. 50:5)

6. Spiritual Parents: They birth spiritual children and nurture them to grow up for Christian ministry. Devoid of  them to model parenthood, the church becomes a system that produces temples, tithes and programs, but not sons and daughters. (1Cor. 4:15; Malachi 4:5,6; Deut 6:6,7)
