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. […]
The Ministry of ALL Believers – No Age nor Gender Restrictions
In his prophecy, Joel was careful to clarify God’s full intentions in pouring out His Spirit on “all people’. It would result in the ingathering of a great harvest into Christ’s Kingdom involving people and peoples from all over the world, beginning at Jerusalem and ending at the uttermost parts of the earth (Ac 1:8, […]
Do We Need Schools for Mobilizers?
As ‘laborers together with God’ (1Co 3:9), the tension is always, what does God do and what do we do? To place everything in God’s corner is as unbiblical as placing everything in our corner! There are things God does and there are things we do. For example, God sends laborers into His harvest field […]
The Ministry of ALL Believers for the World Christian Movement
The New Testament marked the beginning of the world Christian movement. It also marked the beginning of the age of ‘the ministry of all believers’! To miss this connection is to miss the plot entirely! The Old Testament saw select ministries such as prophets, priests and kings, endowed with the Holy Spirit to carry out […]
Mobilization Involves All the Ministries
Mobilization could be defined as “providing all that is needed for God’s people to become meaningfully involved in the world Christian movement.” With this broad definition we acknowledge the need for the involvement of all the fivefold ministries listed in Ephesians 4:11. Paul is very specific here. He says, these ministries, gifted to the Church […]
