Chief Apostle gives "Specials Words"

Emphasis upon Love; Guidance into laying a True Foundation; Why we need a Mentor? What about Protocol?

 

Emphasis Upon Love!

"For years I have priority  emphasis upon Love"

Love is a the most wonderful and glorious power God gave to man in the beginning. The Principles that builds, foster, nourish, directs and guide love are the most power and enduring items of existence.

This give reason why “Romance love is the seed that will keep the death and hurts, yes even the weeds of defeats, indifference and bitterness from coming between a man and woman.” Love is the powerful glue that holds everything together, in spite of.

Guidance into laying a True Foundation 

"Before anything of worth can be built to endure, there must be a foundation laid.  There can never be lasting results in life and ministry, nor can we expect to grow, build, or simply soar into a great or supernatural dimensions of God in this time or eternity with a clear and Holy Spirit foundation laid." 

We must first be grounded in the foundation truths of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and established in His biblical principles, practicing these principles. We must be principle driven. 

The beauty of any  structures whether architectural, spiritual, or life must  from the foundation; for that from that structure alone are the materials for it to stand and endure.  Therefore, when we admire end results, whether modern architecture, or the lasting relationship of individuals, it all rests in the building of the  foundation.  "If the foundation is not laid properly, the building cannot exist and will not exist, nor it last nor endure." 

The foundations of our lives and that of others we become involved with all depends upon how well we understand foundational building and practice. Again, may we remember, our effectiveness both now and eternity rests upon the present foundation we laid with God, our fellow mankind and our Christian walk being driven by these principles. We must be built in right manner with Godly relations and the true principles of foundation laid by Lord Savior Jesus Christ. There is a key to our future in this world if we build the true foundation upon Christ through His Church..."

Why we need a Mentor?

I am your servant
In the New Testament, Jesus said, "And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister…. (St. Matthew 20:27-28).

 

A "mentor" is one who  serves as an example and model. He or she offers counsel off times upon request, and serves as a positive influence to an understudy. A "mentor" is able to make this contribution because of his/her many life experiences. These experiences have taught wisdom, knowledge with patience and Godly Love. A "mentor"  is always trying to point the way, he or she believes in lending a helping hand to uplift with a positive attitude; trying always to maintains a victorious and encouraging attitude toward the one been taught. A "mentor" is often very assured that his efforts are as a protégé. His desire is to motivate and cause a better outcome for those listen to him and follow his guidance. A "mentor"  is one of faith and confidence toward another person in whom he desires a better outcome. A "mentor"  is  wise, and trustworthy. He builds trust toward those he serve. This trust is built with each experience in sharing and exchanges of ideas. The "mentor" always maintaining confidentiality. A mentor listens, facilitates growth that avoids mistakes. A mentor is a coach. He discusses  willingly and allow   problems to result and offers consultation, with deep concerns for  his/her subject as a protégé. He seeks a better out come for his understudy than the one he has had. A "mentor" is true friend.

 

What about Protocol?

God is a God of Order
It is truth, "Order came before man, and the Lord God formed the universe before He made man." Man came out of Order; therefore order is the FIRST LAW of nature." God only operates and functions in His program because of His' order. The Church can not fulfill  its mission except in Order. We call this 'properly function,' "Protocol." It is not only necessary but mandatory that there be a "spiritual protocol" among us as God's people. "Protocol" in the Dictionary, means ' carrying forth and dealing with 'priority in order, rank, importance, etc. ' with a clear sense of formality. In  'Protocol' there is  etiquette  expressed in social behavior,  a conventional requirements (of order) is in true protocol for it must exist and carry on."


What about Prophecy?

A word from God must always be in the Spirit of love, faith and prayer. When a prophecy is given without leading of God, it usually is given in the spirit man and often times may not nourish or build the hearer with spiritual things. Again, the proper impact upon the hearer depends much upon the attitude of the hearer to the prophecy. The serious famine in our land today is not the "lack of the Word of God" but mostly, "It is the hearer of the Word of God." There is lack of sincere and convicted hearer with a  genuine and convictions of God’s Spirit within the the hearers. Be assured, prophecy must be judged. The Prophet must be able to discern the prophecy given and understand the revelation he receives and make such announcement as God has given it to him/her. The timing of the prophecy must be in the right and appropriate time for delivery of such a 'word' or it should be kept within the prophet's soul. Many times a prophecy may be held for 'such a time' for if revealed too early, the word given may not be given the time to grow in silence and age at it proper time. This is where the prophet must judge if what he or she has been given should be dropped into the ears and lives of it's hearers at the time He receive it. A true Prophet of God waits on the prophecy and examines the "Word of the Lord" given him. He knows that a prophecy given belongs to the Lord and it must be waited upon.
