“I just want to see folk promoting Jesus and not themselves.”

Alright, Alright! Gotta say it. Gotta say it. I know its long for some of you, but just read it!!

I just met “ANOTHER” apostle. Here are just a few things that the bible reveals about an apostle that maybe some folk just don’t know.

Apostle means: One sent. That’s all.
Their function includes and not limited to laying down a tangible foundation and setting order so that the saints of God can function as the one body of Christ.

An apostle should “not” be a novice. (Too young, not recently saved or lacking in character.) Crook, thief, immoral, etc.

An apostle must have proven themselves as a master builder powerfully used by God. (With signs and wonders, etc…)

This means that they must have “SOMETHING” to show “SOMEBODY” that they have done “SOMETHING” that remains in the earth that they could not have done themselves.

These are just some thoughts that you can derive from scripture and church history.

Now here is reason for this post. EVERYBODY AND THEIR MAMA IS CALLING THEMSELVES AN APOSTLE AND THAT AIN’T RIGHT!!!!!beware_of_false_teachers_print_by_madetobeunique-d30spt4

Paul, the archetype of an apostle, never even used the word apostle as his title. E.g. (The Apostle Paul!!!!!!).

He used the title to describe his FUNCTION. “Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ.”

He laid foundations for folk to live by and for others to build upon. He never put the emphasis of what he did on who he was. He was what he was by the GRACE OF GOD.
1Cor. 15:9
For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle,

I have no earthly idea why so many young, inexperienced, naïve and zealous individuals of every hue and sex feel like they deserved to be called an apostle. smh

For all of the real apostles our there. I salute you, we operate our ministry as an apostolic governing center. (Can explain privately if you’d like.)

For all of the false, fake and sincere people who are sincerely wrong, drop the title and meet the requirements for the function.

2Cor 11:13-14
13 These people are false apostles. They are deceitful workers who disguise themselves as apostles of Christ. 14 But I am not surprised! Even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.

I KNOW IT’S TIGHT, BUT IT’S RIGHT!!!!

PRAY FOR ME. I love the brethren. I just want to see folk promoting Jesus and not themselves.
