Church As One

CHURCH AS ONE


In this day in age leadership crisis around the world has reached the top, many of our politician leaders have become so deceptive because of lack of integrity and manipulation, as well as immoral agendas among many of them. Just a few weeks ago in the news one of the States Leaders tried to sell an official political position for his own profit.

Considering that we are now living in the age of theological instability in the body of Christ with so many doctrines taking away the focus of the people of God, Pastors, preachers and Bishops are preaching messages but don’t live the message in their life styles.
So many of us have flit with the flock instead of feeding the flock, laying down with our own flock instead of laying hands on their weaknesses, we have truly become an agenda of scandal instead of being a bridge to the lost for God kingdom.

Our heart goes out to all those who have been influenced by any type of Leaders from Political, Intellectual or spiritual, we pray they find on them the ingredients which will raise in their heart a hope and confidence of connectivity.

So many messages with no Christ methods lose the sense of connectivity because of fame and becoming a star. Forgetting that our price is the cross, nevertheless Jesus Christ had attracted a largest crowd of the world when he was crucified naked on the cross. The largest crowd of our master was at the time of his tribulation, suffering and in pain. Moreover those who told him”we will be with you anywhere you go” left him under the arms of military. He was betrayed, crucified but raised on the third day. The journey of Christian life is more than fame, glory, money, success it is also about paying the price, the willingness to lay down your life because of our Lord.

Today, because so many of us have been deceived by our socio, political, spiritual or intellectual leaders we had made Jesus Christ our savior but not our Lord. Can I challenge us to realign our lives and reassess our priorities because He is coming soon and the time is going to get tougher and tougher.

If we are looking for a leader to help us in our journey and destiny or if we need to join any church, we need to make sure that we are not distracted with names, Charisma or fames, let us spend time in prayer for divine guidance, with the help of the Holy Spirit let’s identify this twelve ingredients in the life of the Leader:

To respond too many of your questions such as what kind of a pastor I need to submit myself to? What type of leader I need to follow? What type of person I need to let influence my life? Please make sure you find the 12 ingredients in the Life of healthy Leaders:

1. Integrity
2. Respect
3. Energy
4. Accountability
5. Trust
6. Delegation
7. Honesty
8. Humility
9. Servant-hood
10. Excellence
11. Discipline
12. Determination

It is my desire while navigating this page you will find God in you who can impact and influence you and who would also allow his spirit of grace and mercy to help you germinate those ingredients in you. While we are losing our hope in people, we all need to reconnect back to him.

The question should be why church must be one? For a few reasons:

1. Universal: Only one body through the blood of Christ. There is no such a thing like my church but our church with our leader. We all understand that it is the Leader who has to report to the government and other institutions but it is also our assignment to support and walk with him.
2. Community: It’s not about a local entity it is about one voice coming to God.
3. Saint: connect with others.
4. Respect of authority: The church must submit itself to the authority of a leadership, there is no such thing as being independent without submission to any covering.
