Peter Wagner points out that the main verb in the Great Commission is ‘make disciples’ (Mt 28:18-20). However the first verb to appear in the Great Commission is ‘GO! Making disciples, of all nations, for sure, is not possible without the ‘going’. For apostles/ charged with taking the gospel to regions beyond/ this is never […]

The Ministry of Mobilization — A Summary
MOBILIZATION’ is the most helpful term to describe the ministry of the prophet in both Old and New Testaments. Over the past months I have been writing on the subject of ‘The Ministry of Mobilization.’ I have endeavored to explain, as clearly as I could, the biblical, historical and current significance of this ministry – how God used […]
So, What’s Gone Wrong?
So, why don’t all God’s people actively, effectively and enthusiastically participate in the world Christian movement? Is God no longer as generous in giving visions, dreams and prophecies to ALL His people? Has He become more selective over the generations? Has Jesus waned in His enthusiasm to disciple ALL nations? Has the Holy Spirit indeed ceased […]
Understanding the Foundation Upon Which the Church is Built
Paul is very clear – Jesus Christ is the foundation upon which the Church is built (1Co 3:11). He elaborates further, however, when writing to the Ephesian believers and explains that Jesus is the chief cornerstone, and apostles and prophets are included in forming that all important foundation upon which the Church is built (Eph […]
Saved by Grace, Saved for Works: What are the Works We have Been Saved For?
For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:10b How far ‘in advance’ did God prepare these ‘good works’ and what exactly are the ‘good works’ we are supposed to do? Well, at a bare minimum they were prepared […]
The Time is NOW
One of the many things Mobilizers have in common with each other is the unshakeable belief that the time for God’s people to be actively engaged in the world Christian movement is NOW! Jesus was emphatic in his declaration that the time is NOW. “Do you not say, ‘Four months more and then the harvest’? […]
Nameless Workers – the Future of the World Christian Movement
Recognizing and honoring the contribution of the ‘nameless’ workers in the world Christian movement is the key to the completion of the Great Commission! This is the true celebration of the ‘ministry of all believers; as Christ intended all along! This pattern was first seen in the Book of Acts, when ‘nameless’ people planted the most significant church, […]
What Makes the Devil Really Mad?
He becomes ‘madder than hell’ when believers catch the full reason for why they have been saved and begin living and serving appropriately! The Devil is as ‘mad as hell,’ excuse the expression, when people are snatched from his Kingdom and ushered into the Kingdom of Christ. He becomes ‘madder than hell’ when believers catch […]
Visions, Dreams, and Prophecies – Standard New Testament Practice!
Visions, dreams and prophecies feature prominently in the prophecy that launched the Church age (Ac 2:17-18). What is their significance to the outworking of the gospel going to the ends of the earth? And what is their significance to the ‘ministry of all believers’ which Joel’s prophecy establishes? Well, the answer is very simple! God wants […]
Should Mobilizers be ‘Full Time’?
The rediscovery of a vital expression of the ministry of the Prophet, as a Mobilizer, will undoubtedly prove to be a catalyst for a significant surge in the participation by the Body of Christ in the world Christian movement — — once, that is, the Mobilizers are identified, equipped, released into ministry and become a coherent ministry expression.
