Apostolic Letter #1








Dear precious family members of the 'Household of faith",

You are someone special in the sight of the Lord. 

The Lord has chosen you all to be an end time apostolic warriors for His glory. 

We are not called to wage war physically like all the religious people who do and increase hatred against one another as Jesus had already predicted in this end time generation of ours (Matt 24:12), but we wage spiritual warfare against Satan and his demonic cohorts to exhibit the power of God to the whole world in the spiritual realm which always affects the natural (Eph 6:12).

I want this group to understand that we are the 'Household of Faith' and are one family in Christ beyond denominational, demographic and geographic boundary of the nations. I want all the apostolic's to understand God's perspective in segmenting nations. The Apostle Paul says, "26 And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings, 27 so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us." (Act 17:26-27). The things we can glean from the above scriptures are, 

1) Around the world we as the people of God in the 'Household of Faith' are made from one blood. God started our life through our ancestral father Adam and Eve (Gen 2:7, 20-25; 3:20; 1 Peter 2:10; Gal 6:10). 

2) We are made to dwell or live peaceably and joyfully in the Lord on all the face of the earth (Rom 13:10; 12:18; Phil 4:4).

3) You must understand that in this century at this time and the place where you are living are not at all by chance, but God determined you to be born in our generation for His glory. You are in your nation because God has preappointed you to be born in it. God says that even before you were born I know you and it I who formed you in your mothers womb (Jer 1:4-5). This is why the Bible says, "And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men" (Col 3:23). This shows that you have a purpose in God to fulfill before you leave this earth and you are uniquely gifted to fulfill a particular thing for God's glory which no other person in the entire universe can replicate or compete (James 1:17; 1 Peter 4:10-11; 1 Cor 12:7). All are gifted but each of us are called to different function in this 'Household of Fatih' (Rom 12:3-8).

4) The purpose of being born and be present in this earth in such a time as this is to grope and search for the Lord our Creator, Sustainer, Father, Friend and our everything in this life and in the life to come, and find Him more and more progressively before we die to be with Him forever. This is the only place and time God has given us to "walk by faith and not by sight" (2 Cor 5:7). But the fact is, even though we do not see Him now with our physical eyes, He is closer than the very air we breathe. In Him we live and move and have our being and have become His dear children because we have received Jesus Christ the Son of God as our Savior and Lord of our lives (Acts 17:28; John 1:12). What a privilege to live in this God's garden of planet earth as His dear children. Love Him and live for Him by fearing our lover of our spirit, soul and body, this is all man's all (Eccl 12:13). Praise the Lord! 

It is this apostolic journey with a prophetic edge that I envision, where I will share edification, exhortation and comfort like this in the coming days (1 Cor 14:3)

Feel free to write to me for prayer request or anything regarding the word of God. I want you to understand that together we grown in the Lord. Thank you. Never forget, "I love you all and Jesus loves us all." 


Apostolically Yours in Christ,

Abraham Israel
