DRIVE THE CHANGE STEP 15
25 Steps to transit from being barren to a millionaire of souls.
Resurrect from being a dead organization to a living organism. Missions is too important to be left to extra-biblical bureaucrats with cosmetic titles like CEO etc. who monitor legalistically with clear intension of controlling. Leadership is about influencing and not controlling. Replace “Reverend culture” with five-fold ministry-gifted Elders of either gender, like apostles, prophets, evangelists, shepherds and teachers. The primary function of the church is to equip the saints, stagnating on the pews, for the works of the ministry of offering Gentiles who have been washed (baptised), sanctified (separated), justified (made to be righteous), resulting in growth and multiplication of the Body.
The primary function of the Aaronic priest was to first offer sacrifice at the brass altar and then offer incense (prayer) at the golden altar. If the church became obedient to this pattern which was shown to Moses on the Mount with strict instruction not to change anything, Kingdom advance would go ballistic. The function of the New Testament priest must be to offer lost sheep as sacrifice and then offer prayer; “My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations (Gentiles).” Anything less is dysfunctional, even counterfeit that mimics the genuine so closely that you might be easily fooled into thinking that it is the real deal. Many intercessors suffer from “yell and tell syndrome” but will not take one step to seek and save a lost person. True intercession is going out weeping with seeds and coming back rejoicing with sheaves. Over 85 percent of churches today have been planted by simple women.
Making disciples and planting organic churches requires multiple skills and women are multi-tasking superstars. True Pastoring is pasturing the sheep everyday in the pasture-land (the world) to eat, mate and multiply. Healthy feeding and leading will keep the flock thriving and fertile and build bridges with the “other sheep which are not of this fold so that there will be one Shepherd and one flock.” Not doing so can result in your ending up in an ash heap of wood, hay and stubble. (Eph.4:11,12; Tit.1:5-9; Ps. 126:5,6; John 10:16; 1 Cor. 3:12-15)
