Apostolic Mandate
Many churches have an entirely unbiblical leadership structure it is a one-man leadership which is usally by a board or some sought of committee. Jesus said in Mk.7:13 (Through your traditions you have made the word of God of none effect." The Biblical pattern of the church is found in 1Corinthians 12:28. "And God has set some in the church, first Apostles secondarily Prophets, thirdly Teachers after that Miracles, then Gifts of Healings". The Greek word "First" is proton meaning first in Time, Rank and Order. The word Proton indicates a peculiar quality of the Apostolic Gift; it has breakthrough capabilities, Generals of Strategic Spiritual Warfare. This quality is not manifested in the other gifts. Whenever there's a new move; God releases the Proton (The First, The Apostolic Anointing), to break ground for ministry without The Apostolic Anointing being sent first the church will become stagnated. The church can only go but so far. The word of God declares unless the Lord builds the house they that labor labor in vain. We often interpret missionary work as Apostolic this is not always true, some even go on to say that the Apostle must travel, this is not necessarily true as well. We do see in the life of Apostle Paul but first and foremost Apostles are governmental not just traveling. The Apostle Paul exercised Apostolic government in many areas while The Apostle Peter stayed in the church in Jerusalem and took on the sole governmental position. The Apostle can function if need be but not subject to the other five fold gifts. but he is mandated to function primarily in the Gift of the Apostle. The Apostle carries a specific mandate from God, this mean God had given them a specific task sometimes for a specific region. They have the legal rights and authority to function where principalities and powers will reconize in the Heavenlies and submit to the power and authority of the Apostle because the Apostle have been given the keys from Christ Jesus Himself to loose and to bind in Jesus name. There is an Apostolic reformation and it's moving now many have and are starting to realize this and many are starting to see Christ restoring His Church in power and Holiness all this man made traditional and entertainment in the house of God, will be replaced by the true Glory of God.
