Apostolic
keys for church growth |
Serving the Lord is work! We have a purpose. Telling somebody, what
God can do in their lives. Let us be missionaries unto the world.
Light infiltrates, Salt permeates and preserves, both, light and
salt have a function. Am I allowing God to move in me, to sacrifice
for the work of God? If we are truly descendents of the early Apostolic
church, we will do their works.
Key 1 – We
must be a telling church, seeking God’s face first, having a close
relationship with God.
Key 2 - An
Apostolic church is a church that studies the Word of God – we must
have a love for God’s Word, pray to receive a hunger for the Word
of God. Luke 4,3-13
Key 3 Unity,
to be one minded. Each of us must find our place in God’s plan and
then be devoted to this cause. Acts 2,1 and 46
Key 4 An Apostolic
church has vision. We must see the things as they are supposed to
be and what we could become. Be aligned with the vision, which your
pastor has. We are people that believe the impossible, seeing miracles
and seeing people saved daily. Having faith! Proverbs 29,18
Key 5 The
Apostolic church is a praying and fasting church. For what are we
praying? We must pray specific and meaningful prayers. Be in love
with Jesus. Through prayer and faith we receive the promises of God.
Jude 20; Mark 29,29
Key 6 The
Apostolic church is a generous church. We must be willing to give
our abilities, be available to God. Giving financially with a joyful
heart. Acts 2,44-45
Key 7 The
Apostolic church is a joyous church, being happy people because the
joy of the Lord is our strength. Caring for one another. Nehemiah
8,10, 1 Corinthians 12,12-14
We must do our best to be Apostolic! gr
