WHAT IS AN APOSTLE
The word apostolos means one who is sent on represent another.
Apostles are meant to represent Christ, not only to speak or act on behalf,
but also to be like Christ in character. One cannot fully represent Christ in action
nor authority if one does not carry His heart and character.
This is one aspect that some apostles have failed to understand.
SESSION
THE POWER OF THE APOSTLE
Apostles are visionaries with a passion to pioneer and establish new things for the Kingdom of God.
They have strong leadership gifting and are able to lead a group of churches. The marks of apostles are the
demonstration of the supernatural dimension of the Kingdom of God, such as signs and wonders (2 Cor 12:12).
Further, apostles demonstrate spiritual fruits of establishing churches (1 Cor 9:1-2).
