DRIVE THE CHANGE STEP 17

DRIVE THE CHANGE STEP 17

25 Steps to transit from being barren to a millionaire of souls.

Filter out non-performing goats that come only for hatching (baby baptisms), matching (weddings) and dispatching (funerals). Replace them with sheep that take care of the hungry, thirsty, naked, strangers, sick and prisoners. Culling i.e. getting rid of the non-productive sheep and donating them as free gift to the nearest Pentecostal church, will greatly improve your standing in the local Pastor’s Fellowship. Pastors are not the solution, they are part of the problem, because in spite of unprecedented opportunities and plentiful resources and one pastor for every 250 people in the USA, the church is still heading for the dustbin of history.

To be effective, finding effective partners is crucial. Culling is an integral dynamics of the ‘best practices’ of sheep rearing, so that the shepherd can focus and invest on the most productive sheep. God chose David to shepherd Israel, not because of his academic tags or for his gutsy gallantry, but because he was skillful in taking care of the most productive segment of his flock, “the ewes great with young”.

Now God is pouring out His spirit on all flesh (that includes you); both men and women, young and old, Jews and Gentiles to edify and multiply His church. As the dominance and the power of the clergy diminishes and the effectiveness of the empowered believers increases, the kingdom goes ballistic. Not the politicians but it is the responsibility of the church to establish godly governance with kingdom values of peace, justice, security, and abundance for all. The reward is eternity and co-rulership with Christ. 

Even though we live in a temporal world, in Christ, we live and move and have our being with eternal perspective and hope and our eternal life starts now. The architecture of an organic “household of God” is radically different from an organized church. It looks different and also her functional dynamics are entirely different. Imposing man-made supra-structures over God’s pattern, like Nadab and Abihu tried to do, can swiftly blot your name out from the eternal Book of the Lamb. (Eph. 2:19; Matt. 25:31-46; Psa. 78:70-72; Isa 40:11; Acts 2:17,18; 17:28; Leviticus 10:1)
