THE EVANGELICAL LEADER


THE EVANGELICAL LEADER!

- an excerpt from this month's bible study series by The Apostle of Zion.

Evangel means messenger; one who is sent. The same word which is used to refer to angels. 
An evangelical leader is anointed to share good news because there are too many bad happenings around, such a leader therefore  must announce new things. The way the Apostle Paul consistently introduced himself in his letters is very revealing, in Romans 1;1, I Cor 1:1, 2 Cor 1:1, 1 Thess 1:1, 2 Thess 1:1, and on and on.

From our previously established illustration of the five fold ministry as the fingers of a hand, the evangelical leader is the Middle Finger, very prominent and it can not be comfortably bent independently without carrying the other fingers of the same hand along. Hence all the other offices carry the trait of an evangelist, the trait of sharing good news.

Without evangelical leaders, people would live without hope and encouragement.

The Gifts of the Spirit manifest in the life of a Prophetic Leader Categorized based on its necessity to fulfilling the Office are as follows: (Eph 2:20, 1 Corinthians 12:8-10, Romans 12:6)

THE PROPHETIC LEADER

THE PROPHETIC LEADER - an excerpt from this month's bible study series by The Apostle of Zion. The Five fold offices can be represented by the human hand. Having five fingers, each representing an office: the thumb represents the apostolic because it enables the entire hand to be fully functional in grasping and holding things while the forefinger can symbolize the prophetic as it is most often used to point out the way and give direction. The Prophetic leader is not easily intimidated, he attracts and points people to Jesus and not himself. In the midst of darkness, corruption and confusion what is needed is a prophetic leader who is confident to lead the way. A leader who has insight and understanding of what is currently happening and foresight of what will happen. The Gifts of the Spirit manifest in the life of a Prophetic Leader Categorized based on its necessity to fulfilling the Office are as follows: (Eph 2:20, 1 Corinthians 12:8-10, Romans 12:6) Primary Gifts 1...

THE APOSTOLIC LEADER

*THE APOSTOLIC LEADER!*  -an excerpt from this month's bible study series by The Apostle of Zion. The Apostolic leader creates foundations and creating a foundation is a lot of work and resources. People don't always see foundations because they are underground, so much of the apostolic leader's work goes unseen or unrewarded. (Ephesians 4:11) The Apostolic leader is not easily distracted or influenced by gifts. The Apostolic unction can be lost. Since his work is foundational, the apostolic leader not only gives direction but compels others to follow and to build upon what has been founded. The Gifts of the Spirit manifest in the life of an Apostolic Leader Categorized based its necessity to fulfilling the Office are as follows (Luke 9:11, 1 Corinthians 12:6) *Primary Gifts* 1. Word of Wisdom 2. Word of Knowledge 3. Faith and Miracles 4. The Prophetic 5. Service 6. Teaching 7. Discerning of Spirits *Secondary Gifts* 1. Healing 2. Mercy 3. Diverse kinds of Tongu...

The Multi-dimensional Nature of Life!

Life is multi-dimensional ;  the tools that you use in actualizing your vision must therefore be multi dimensional .  if you ignore other dimensions of life you will suffer the consequences, Mordecai did not say we are in this land and a heathen is our king so let’s go and fast and pray, it’s possible they have been fasting and praying then suddenly there was an announcement “the king is looking for a wife” he picked one of the girls to go and contest, a girl that has not been mentored all her life to live in the palace, a girl who was not trained to be the wife of a king, she was not even a daughter of a king how much more to be the wife of a king; but Mordecai knew that we need to engage whatever door God opens, don’t disqualify yourself, engage it. Don’t ever think the totality of life is just your point of view, if you want to interpret life from one perspective you have just failed, so recognize that your vision at different locations may have to be reinterpre...
