Microsoft Word - Apostolic Alignment

church begins to migrate from a pastoral position to an apostolic one without losing the pastoral dimension. The members will still be cared for because of the release of pastors. 25. A team is stronger than one man. 26. Many apostolic and prophetic ministries have been killed by administrators. When the administrative anointing supersedes the apostolic anointing, the church will not be able to progress into new things. Apostles need organization, but they cannot be hindered or controlled by it. THE ORGANIZATION IS MADE FOR THE APOSTLE, NOT THE APOSTLE FOR THE ORGANIZATION. 27. Senior leaders cannot become bogged down with too much administration. Some leaders wear themselves down with administration. They experience burnout because they do not recognize others with the administrative gifting, and they do not know how to delegate. Some churches expect pastors to be administrators. They expect the leaders to “be” and to “do” everything. 28. The church for years has been taught that the Great Commission is an evangelistic commission. It is, however, an apostolic commission. The commission was given to apostles, and it will take an apostolic anointing and strategy to fulfill it. 29. Most ministers live and die without entering into all the phases of their ministry.
