Leadership – Understanding the Biblical Structure of the Church | Richards bay | Marina beach (Testimony part 17) ⏱️ Timestamps 0:00 Introduction 3:41 Had a 2-year season between Marina Beach and Richards Bay 5:30 The Lord will not only teach me theory, but practically, and will put random locations on my heart where I should go in order for Him to teach me 11:01 I arrived in Richards Bay at around 21:00 15:28 My assignment for Richards Bay was to visit different individual churches, arrange a meeting with a leader, and share what was in my heart. Little did I know that Jesus used this season to teach me about the structure of the Church and the need for leadership in a Church 26:39 Accountability and blind spots 34:44 In Marina Beach, I had to spend time with a local group that had no leaders. Little did I know that Jesus used this season to teach me about the importance of the structure of the Church and the need for leadership in a group 36:24 Why is God so strict on submission? It is very hard to submit under a person with a spirit of manipulation 38:11 Studied the work of David Pawson, who wrote the book Unlocking the Bible 44:21 In Richards Bay, I could see the need for the letters of Timothy in this generation, and in Marina Beach, I could see the need for the letter of Titus in this generation 45:49 Paul had three missionary trips and would plant a self-supporting, self-governed, and self-propagating colony of the Kingdom in many Cities. He would then appoint leaders and move on, leaving the Church with the Holy Spirit to take them further 1:04:57 Later on, Paul was arrested and was in prison for four (4) years. During that time, he sent Timothy to appoint new leaders in the Church in Ephesus and to replace the old leaders. Paul sent Titus to appoint leaders in the churches in Crete because they had no leaders 1:07:55 Pastors are stationary, while Apostles are itinerant 1:13:28 Red flags I picked up in Marina Beach: • No leaders appointed • Refusal to submit — wrong ambition and wanting to start my own thing • The wife is working and looking after the household financially • Can women be pastors (leaders)? • Showing more love than truth • Judaism and the Hebrew Roots movement • Confusion and disorder • Jude and 2 Peter • 1 & 2 Timothy and Titus • 1, 2 & 3 John 1:50:42 Red flags I picked up in Richards Bay, where leaders were already appointed: • Lack of Apostles and accountability between the leaders • Women are pastors • Slain in the Spirit / Kundalini spirit https://youtu.be/G8wkteG2Nr8?si=giUVlSWX2FH_SQXV #church #apostles #prophets #teachers #evangelists #pastors #judaism #hebrewroots #leadership
