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

So What Do You Mean By Apostolic?

Define and Explain, What is Apostolic and its Characteristics?

What is Apostolic?

Apostolic : "Pertaining to an apostle, or to the apostles, their times, or their peculiar spirit, pioneers of a new move of God." 

Apostolic is an adjective of the word 'apostle'. It is usually used in the way a group of people draw the grace of God that is given to an apostle.

1) Apostolic is God's ordained and a legitimate governmental means of God on earth through which He builds his Church family and dwells among them in His glory (Luke 11:49; Eph 4:11; 1 Thess 1:1; 2:3-4, 6; Matt 16:18; 18:20).

2) It is the means through which babies are birthed in to God's Kingdom (1 Cor 3:1-2; 1 Cor 4:15; Gal 4:19).

3) It is the process in which the spiritual babies are trained to become as a sons and daughters of God in His kingdom (Gal 3:26; Rom 8:15; Eph 4:12-16; Heb 5:12-14).

4) The Bible says, "Behold, the Man whose name is the BRANCH! From His place He shall branch out, and He shall build the temple of the LORD;" (Zech 6:12). So from the preceding Scripture we can see and understand that Jesus is the chief apostle who is the ultimate example of all apsotolics and from Him we derive an apostolic anointing to build the temple of the Lord which is our body [i.e. spirit, soul and body (1 Thess 5:23-24)] (Heb 3:1; Matt 10:25).

5) Jesus is the "cheif cornerstone" and the only foundation (1 Peter 2:6-8; 1 Cor 3:11) on which the twelve apostles were the foundations who later built themselves on Jesus through all the Old Testament prophets who acted as a cement mortar to build "New Jerusalem Temple" higher and higher for His glory (Rev 21:22; Eph 2:20; Matt 7:24-29). The Lord Jesus is building the New Jerusalem not with a material stone like the temple Solomon built in Israel, but with "living stones" of believers lives. They are all "being built up [together] as a spiritual house" (1 Peter 2:5).

The Characteristics of an Apostolic

1) The Apostolic believers live beyond religion in a day to day intimate relationship of joyful intimacy and ecstasy with GOD THROUGH CHRIST in a NEW and LIVING WAY (Heb 4:14-16; 10:20; James 4:8; 1 John 1:3-4).

2) The Apostlic believers do not care much about tradition and dead letter of doctrines which always is with out the breath of the Spirit present in it (Mark 7:13-16; 2 Cor 3:6), instead the law of God will be written inside their hearts which the Holy Spirit will consistently bring in to their mind according to the need of the situation they are in (2 Cor 3:2; Heb 10:15-18; 1 Cor 9:2; Matt 4:1, 4, 7, 10).

3) The Apostolics have a passion not only to live a godly apostolic lifestyle but also a intense desire to see the kingdom of God spread in all the world like a wild fire and turn the world upside down by the power of God (2 Tim 4:7; 1 Tim 4:6-7; Acts 17:6; Rom 15:18-20). The apsotolics deal the fire of persecution from Satan and his minions with the fire of God's persistence, sovereign protection, and a spirit of rejoicing and praise for the opportunity that God has given them to go through hardship in this only life and as a result of it receive His superabundant and satisfying grace in exchange (2 Tim 3:12; Acts 4:19; 5:18, 29, 40-41; 16:25; 1 Peter 4:14; 2 Cor 12:9-10).

4) Apostolics are partakers of God's grace given to the apostles by a relational family bonding of sharing and caring for each other (Phil 1:7; 2 Cor 12:14-15; 1 Thess 2:7, 11; 1 Tim 1:2).

5) Apostolics are also those who are in touch and connection with a person who has a calling of an apostle (2 Tim 1:1; Eph 4:11), and follow the ways that they teach to receive an apostolic grace to come upon their lives (Acts 2:42). God gives much grace to all the real apostles whom he chooses to mainly bring a restructuring in faith that will always establish a believer in Christ (1 Cor 3:10; 15:10; Rom 12:3; Eph 3:2, 7-8; Gal 4:19; 1 Cor 4:15). Then once the grace is received, each one is expected to walk in it and be blessed like the apostles are blessed in their lives (1 Cor 4:15, 17; Eph 3:17; Phil 3:17; 4:13).

6) The apostolic believers who are sent in to the world [i.e. apostolic] by Jesus as his disciples (Mark 16:15; Matt 28:19-20; John 20:21), learn to live in it but not of it (John 17:11, 16). The power of God's abundant apostolic grace will move a apostolic believer to make an impact in the part of the world where they live, not just by the message they preach in these end of end times, but by their lifestyle [i.e. just like Jesus] (Acts 1:1, 8; 8:1, 4).

Of course these cycles never end in the life of an apostolic because it is not an event but a process that leads to the fulfillment of their GLORIOUS DESTINY, unfolding bit by bit even as they walk ahead in it with Jesus daily (Mark 16:20). Amen!!!

Apostolic Blessings......

Abraham Israel
