How Many Institutions Has God Ordained?

What Institutions has God ordained? How many? I have asked hundreds of Christians this question and most Christians don’t know. Woefully, even many Christian leaders don’t know.

Having discovered that most Christians don’t know what they are is clearly one of the reasons Christians are not making a greater impact in the world today than they could.

Everything God is working in the world today is exclusively for His three Institutions.

 Do Christians Reject Jesus As King Today?

Most Christians do reject Jesus as KING today and here is why and why they are wrong.

How To Get The Speaking Gifts?

If you have not read the previous Church & Leaders articles, you need to in order to know where all the following is biblically documented:

* All spiritual leaders (apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers) were first recognized as qualified elders, also called overseers.

* God gave the initial speaking gift (teaching), to men only when they were first biblically qualified to be an elder/overseer.

* There are two general kinds of gifts - serving gifts, which all Believers receive upon salvation and speaking gifts, which all spiritual leaders first receive when becoming an elder/overseer, a spiritual leader.

* There are 5 spiritual leadership speaking gifts - apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor and teacher.

* The NT missionary model was dramatically different then man’s modern day missionary organizational models.

Now, How To Get All the Leadership Speaking Gifts...

Wife Directive 3 ~ Marriage Head

"There is one thing I want you to know: The head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God… God’s glory is man made in His image, and man’s glory is the woman. The first man didn’t come from woman, but the first woman came out of man. And Adam, the first man, was not made for Eve’s benefit, but Eve was made for Adam. So a woman… is under man’s authority, a fact for all the angels to notice and rejoice in” (1Cor. 11:3-10).

We're going to look at all this is saying!

Husband Directive 3 ~ Marriage Savior

"For a husband is in charge of his wife in the same way Christ is in charge of His body the Church. He gave His very life to take care of it and be its Savior!" (Eph. 5:23).

Husband, do you want to know how ANY husband can be successful in having his wife respect and gladly honor him as her head, in charge, of her and the family. The secret is "SSL". This post tells you what it is, how you can get it, and how it will revolutionize your marriage or family.

God's Civil Mandate ~ Is That Possible?

We looked previously in depth at God's Civil Mandate ~ Jesus's Great Commission. And in it we saw we could accurately translate the Greek with words that give a clearer understanding, especially identifying the pronouns. It then read as follows (Mat. 28:18-20):

“Then Jesus came to them and said, ‘All authority and power in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Therefore, go and teach all nations, overwhelming nations in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching nations to obey all I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the very end of the age!’"

To practically go and teach any nation, which by definition is civil government, and to obey all that Jesus has commanded may seem impossible. But Jesus said...

God's Civil Mandate ~ Jesus's Great Commission

After Jesus’s resurrection but before He ascended back to heaven, Jesus repeated His Great Commission five times. Here is why it is a civil Mandate!

Church & Leaders: Tradition vs New Testament ~ Part 4

In the NT all the top and most important Spiritual Leaders were apostles. Many evangelicals today believe apostles no longer exist. Is this really true? If not, this has been one of Satan’s biggest deceptions and resulted in enormous loss to the local church and to Christendom worldwide.

I believe you’re about to see something enormous in the New Testament that Satan has blinded from many Christians. And first, I would just again remind you of the Bereans (Acts 17:11):

“And the people of Berea were more open-minded than those in Thessalonica, and they listened eagerly to Paul’s message. They searched the Scriptures day after day to see if Paul and Silas were teaching the truth.”

Directive 2 ~ The Marriage Priority

"But suppose a woman is married and living in her husband's home when she makes a vow or binds herself with a pledge. If her husband hears of it and does not object to it, her vow or pledge will stand. But if her husband refuses to accept it on the day he hears of it, her vow or pledge will be nullified, and the Lord will forgive her." (Num. 30:10-12).
