Above: Dr TCL’S Symbols of the 3 Types of Leadership Lampstands; L: Symbol of the grass roots pioneering front lines ministry. It “sticks out it’s neck” by plowing up what may be difficult hard unfallow ground.  R: The Staid, Mega Ministry, Has already plowed the ground, has apostolic huge success. Can be a hero role model for the smaller Lampstands. Middle: Exotic Lampstand: most like the DFW LOF, international, tribal, global, moving in the gifts, most of them very multicultural;

 

All may risk growing wise in their own pioneering hearts and feel competitive with other kinds of more traditional ministries. May be too independent, refuse to acknowledge the need to change as the Lord directs…and/or to feel that THEIR OWN TRADITIONAL WAY is God’s ONLY TRUE WAY.

PONDERING “THE ABIDING FEAR OF THE LORD”

“Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love. Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place—unless you repent.” Apostolic Revelation 2:4-5

 

Psalm 115 appears to describe how making a god of making money strongly affects any leader’s accurate spiritual PERCEPTION & DISCERNMENT

TAKING TOP PRIORITY According to Proverbs 2:1-5 mammon chasing appears to strongly affect what the Bible names as “the fear of the Lord”

 

 

Q. IF the Proverbs 1:7 “fear of the Lord is the beginning of WISDOM” then not having any fear of the Lord is the beginning of ______________?

 

 

Proverbs 2:1-5 A convenient Bible passage for equipping on the fear of the Lord “which is the beginning of true, even supernatural, WISDOM

 

When the fear of the Lord abides in the Church, leaders and lay are usually spiritually discerning and perceptive. Genuine Love will abound.

 

In Modern Church Slow of Discernment Leadership Days, one now must specifically define what JESUS CHRIST LOVE is:

 

Taveau Creative Leadership Ministries now officially (reprover  realistically )defines JESUS REAL FIRST CHURCH BOTH SWEET AND ALSO TOUGH UP FRONT CONFRONTING REAL LOVE

 

 1. SWEET BABY JESUS TRUE LOVE

This we define as :” turn the other check, walk the extra mile,” forgive them Father, for they know not what they do” enduring Real Love;

 

2. MATURE APOSTOLIC THE MESSIAH, CHRIST GENUINE FAMILY REAL LOVE:

We submit the following as giving Bible passage evidence of REPROVING,  UPFRONT, CORRECTING, (with an absence of any accusation, adept other’s accuser blame shifting, ducking avoidance,etc):

 

THE MATURE GROWN UP CHRIST:  reproving, temple leadership correcting, Non PC, yet fully respecting, abiding in the Holy Fear of the Lord, up front God’s Tough enduring real Love…..

……..totally embodying New Testament apostolic Matthew 18:15…

 

AND Genesis 3  Old Testament Jesus’  Eternal Father upfront confronting Adam and Eve in the Garden;

 

AND Acts 5  in the First Church, God’s powerful Holy Spirit holding the deceitful Ananias and Sapphira fully accountable;

 

AND I Corinthian: Concerning taking Communion,  the Lords Supper “unworthily”: God holds each born again true believer  personal responsible “Some of you are sick and die young” because  you do not choose to prepare your own hearts.”

 

THE LOSS OF FIRST LOVE LEADER, LAMPSTAND OVERSEER

And the lack of, loss of an Abiding Fear of the Living Lord will then create compassionless, super achieving, spiritual fruit, which then puts all Bible relationships on the back burner. It will mass produce 5 fold office senior ministry, apostolic lay abiding spiritual RELATIONSHIP FRUIT which bears resemblance to the Eli Temple High Priesthood (I Samuel 1-5) and lacks pure realistic skilled perception and regards making business progress, ministry, personal achievement as top priority over Abiding in the fear of the Lord real Life (all) true Bible relationships .(see Ten Bible relationships top page http://www.onlinefellowship.us

 

And from this writer’s first hand experience, if a “business successful” church loses their “discernment” (and grows morally, spiritually dull) it then begins to dimly regard “certain types of human God’s own image valuable persons” as “Leadership approved or NOT approved” based on stereotypes, leader caste system and avoidant “dis” respecter of many human persons monarchist, aristocratic Western European Roman Patricianism, religious spirit.

 

SUBMITTED SELAH:

If a church’s lamp stand loses it’s FIRST REAL LOVE it also appears to grow increasingly dull of perception and mature perception. Revelation 2:4-5 “God threatens to “remove the lamp stand”
