Moving in the Apostolic

A Blueprint for Apostolic Living 133

understanding in the visions of God; and as long as he sought the Lord, God made him prosper (2 Chron. 26:5). Uzziah is an example of someone who prospered by seeking the Lord. His life is an example for us to follow. Apostles and apostolic people must give themselves to prayer (see Acts 6:1 7). Those who seek God will meet with tremendous results in ministry. The life of Uzziah is a type of apostolic ministry that prospers by seeking God. Warfare Now he went out and made war against the Philistines, and broke down the wall of Gath, the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod; and he built cities around Ashdod and among the Philistines (2 Chron. 26:6). Uzziah went forth and warred against the Philistines. Apostolic ministry is a ministry of warfare. Principalities and powers over cities and nations must be attacked and defeated by men of authority. Apostles have the ability to go forth and war against the enemy. Uzziah was a God-fearing king of Judah who exercised his authority against the enemy. Seeking God releases the authority and anointing for warfare. Breaking Down Walls Walls represent barriers that keep the truth of the gospel out. Walls separate and divide. We need to break down walls of tradition, religion, prejudice and racism. When walls are built around a city, they are meant to keep out invading forces. Uzziah broke down the walls of Gath, Jabneh and Ashdod, the cities of the Philistines. He was able to enter and subdue these cities by breaking down their walls. Satan and his principalities build walls around cities in an attempt to keep the people in bondage and to keep the truth out. Like Jericho, many cities are shut up, and the people are walled in. Apostolic ministry has the ability to tear down these walls
