Introducing The Apostolic Re-Awakening

The New Apostolic Reformation

Paul sets forth in Ephesians 4 the core values and essential virtues that form the kernel from which local church life and practice flow. They are unity expressed in diversity, maturity, stability and corporeity. The ascended Lord gave apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers to the Church to build these characteristics in the very fibre of local church life. He has given five gifts for this purpose. We cannot do it with three or even four. In His infinite wisdom, He knew we need five. God is generous but not superfluous. Any other structure, system, strategy, or man-made method will fail to produce the kind of Church that Jesus wants and for which He died.

But now is the time when the Lord is restoring the apostolic and apostles to the Church. Now is the time for the whole body of Christ to experience the authority and anointing of apostles just as it was in the book of Acts. To see the Church rise to its full potential and built according to New Testament pattern, we must rise in vision and faith. To see the Church become all that the Lamb died to make it, we need another apostolic reformation.

In these days the Lord is preparing the Church, His Bride, for glory, equipping her to reap a final gigantic harvest and at the same time preparing the world for judgement. As Dr. Sam Matthews said, let us allow the Holy Spirit to orchestrate us into a worldwide penetration of the gospel. It is time to become part of the second apostolic reformation. As mentioned before “The vision is rushing to completion” (Dr. Sam Matthews). The five ascension gifts are not optional extras, but essential imperatives, ordained by God for the Church. Their importance and role to the body are a divine arrangement by Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We cannot fulfil the apostolic mission of the Church without their active presence. If the Church 2000 years ago needed them, how much more do we need them today when the days are so much more evil? Oh, how we need them!
