There is a definite paradigm shift in the way we do church. God is breaking us away from the religiousness and traditions of men and He is causing us to move with greater clarity, revelation of His will and spiritual discernment. God is raising up a people who understands the times and most of all, they know what the church ought to be doing now.
In this season the church is moving from: -
a. Just embracing a local church vision and mentality to a much wider kingdom vision – don’t be narrow minded and confine yourself, be aware of an isolationist spirit. The idea of building your little kingdom and protecting it must go. Having your vision confine to four walls is a thing of the past. Be enlarged, I speak expansion. The Kingdom of God is borderless, vast.
b. The culture of Denominationalism to an apostolic culture of governance – some denominations can be plagued by a spirit of stagnation, dryness, lukewarmness and death. It also can accommodate a spirit of religion- rules, no fellowship, jostling for position, how many members you have?.....
c. A high concentration on church expansion to the much wider transformation of society – a change in the spiritual climate over the nation, reduction in drug trafficking, prostitution, gambling, injustice, racism, cursing etc.
d. Seminary/Theological education to a more all inclusive equipping of the saints – titles but no power, today every member is a minister. We are equipping the saints to impact the nations. Eph 4:12,13.
e. Programmed evangelism – power evangelism addressing issues of lostness. Seeing a restoration of miracles, healings and deliverance.
