Modern Day Apostles
from Him. He came to bring the Kingdom of God and we must have
this same discipleship focus.
This discipleship can and should happen in the workplace. With the
advanced technology in communications, the marketplace is quickly
changing into networks instead of hierarchy. It is simply more
productive, and especially when there is creativity or research
development involved. The new order Church can function within
these workplace networks, and should take notes on how to use these
same principles within other small group worship settings. Of course,
the family is the FIRST place where this discipleship should be
occurring. If we cannot impart Kingdom principles to our children,
then it is foolish to think we can help others. The family is the
beginning of true discipleship and should be treated as such.
In conclusion, we have ascertained the following:
1) Both genuine and false apostles can be recognized by their fruit
- “Do men gather grapes from thorn bushes or figs from
thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad
tree bears bad fruit... Therefore by their fruits you will know
them” (Matt. 7:15-20).
2) The characteristics of a true apostle include: a.) their focus on
covenant relationships, b.) spiritual authority (not hierarchical
authority), and c.) they will be taught by the Holy Spirit, and
often given “big picture” strategic revelations.
3) Many true apostles are called to function in the marketplace.
They cause the Kingdom of God to increase in the midst of
every day business and government activities. This is really the
“underground church” in the western nations where the basics
of discipleship are being practiced in the workplace and
Kingdom principles are being applied to benefit families,
companies and governments.
4) Apostles will bring order and unity to the places where they are
sent.
