THE ESSENCE OF THE RHEMA VISION
1. MISSING THE ESSENCE:
- A Mega Church Running Away From Traditional Christianity.
- A Mega Church Outdoing The Others.
- A Mega Church Silencing Our Critics And Haters.
- Success Then Was Measured By Numbers.
2. OUR TRUE ESSENCE:
- Rhema Is An Encounter-Experience With Jesus, (John 12:20-21).
- An Encounter Leading To A Lifestyle-Culture, (2 Cor. 5:17)
- An Encounter Leading To God-Ordained Living, (John 10:10b)
- An Encounter Leading To Living That Transforms Culture, (Matt. 5:14)
- The Rhema Experience Is Living God’s Existence In This World, (Matt. 5:16).
3. THE REASON-CAUSE:
- Christianity Had Veered Off Its Social Path, Becoming Esoteric-Insular In Nature And Practice, (1 Sam. 17:29).
- This Form Of Christianity Had Become Compartmentalized, With Differing Behavior From Other Areas Of Life.
- The Result Was A Declining And Often Non-Progressive Church Community.
- What God Called To Be A Lifestyle Had Become A Weekly Moment.
- What God Called To Transform The World, Was Relegated To A Service.
- What Was To Reveal God-In-Christ, Became A Display Of Human Failure.
CALL TO ACTION: Knowing Jesus, (Phil. 3:10).
