Apostolic Leadership

leadership spiritual growth Mar 16, 2016

So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work. -Ephesians 4:11-16

God has been speaking to me today on the subject of apostolic leadership. The body of Christ’s greatest need is leadership. Most churches are filled with apathetic passive believers waiting for the rapture to come. Instead, we need a church that is empowered by leaders who are called by God to make a difference. There are several characteristics that apostolic leaders have. I want to share these with you in this blog to challenge you to become all that God has ordained for you to be. Let me make it clear… there are many who say they are apostles but aren’t because they lack the fruit of apostolic ministry. Take a look and judge the fruit in their lives.

Apostolic leaders have a big vision.

Most leaders in the body of Christ have a small vision. Size matters. Instead of thinking about changing a neighborhood start developing a vision to impact your region. Your dream should be so big that it scares you. It should require the divine move God’s Spirit to make the vision come to pass. When you have a God-sized vision from the Lord cast the vision to those around you. Vision casting is an art. It is what people imagine. When you close your eyes what do see? What you see you can have. You attract what you think about most. You should be borderline obsessed with the vision God has given you. It should mark your life.

Apostolic leaders minister through people.

Think team building. Think leaders who lead other teams. If you want to reach the multitudes you can’t do it alone. You can’t minister to everyone. But you can duplicate yourself by finding those who have the same DNA as your ministry and are willing to run with the vision God has given you. I have run into so many people who think they can do it all. I was once one of them. I was carrying so much on my shoulders that I was burning myself out. I needed the right people and the right tools to accomplish the assignment God had placed on my life. I needed to brush up on my leadership skills and learn to delegate. Apostolic leaders delegate authority but not influence. Influence comes by earning an individuals trust. 

Apostolic leaders take new territory.

It is easy to walk down a path that has already been paved. Apostolic leaders clear a new path for others to follow. They lead the way. They are fearless and overcome obstacles. They carry a breaker anointing on their life. They are relentless and don’t stop. They are driven by a passion for God that flows out of His love for the world.

Do you long to be an apostolic leader? I can train you. Consider joining my supernatural school of ministry by clicking here.

I believe God is pouring out a fresh anointing for leadership. He is raising up apostolic leaders to advance the Kingdom of God and fulfill the Great Commission. They will do anything short of sinning to lead people into an encounter with God. They live lives marked by God’s supernatural power and miracles. The win the masses to Jesus!

In His Love,
