APOSTLES ARE SUPER STARTERS. Starting with ADAM, yes, ADAM the first man, Adam was an apostle. He
was the person God gave charge concerning the earth. His mandate was: "Be fruitful and multiply;
replenish the earth". Adam had everything he needed including help. He had access to all the earth and its
wealth. Adam even had the dominion over every living thing. It was all in his care and was overseer. As
an apostle he was to set in order first by names.
Names denote meaning and purpose. At times names describe the spirit of the noun. Adam had that
dominion to set all of things in order. Next, decision was his. God only warned him of one thing. Everything
else was left up to his decision ability. His will was the governor.
Very definitely, apostles become their own governors. They are able to move at will without restraint unless they submit themselves to someone else to be accountable to other than the Holy Spirit. This can be very dangerous. Self government is what has caused the Church of Jesus Christ to suffer in the past generation and will cause it to suffer more except the apostles understand dominion does not mean isolation. Neither does it separate the fruit from THE VINE. The apostleship is still to be subject to the HEAD OF THE CHURCH AND THE ONE WHO IS HERE (ON EARTH) IN HIS STEAD; NAMELY THE HOLY SPIRIT.
Some have forgotten that the Holy Spirit is to lead and guide us. Adam had a will. That will was imposed upon by another spirit who when it was finished caused Adam to fall from grace and his relationship with THE CREATOR, THE FATHER. With that came the curse. Was it Lucifer’s fault? Some say Lucifer was totally the cause of Adam’s death. The bible shows that Adam was the decision maker. He was to have dominion over the earth. Every creature was to be subject to his rule. That included the serpent. By Adam having received the breath of God, he could have rebuked the serpent for yielding itself to Lucifer. Furthermore, he should have rebuked his wife and caused the spirit that she had yielded, demanding that all of it come subject to his rule. But, he did none of those things. Rather, ADAM YIELDED TO HIS DESIRE TO BE WITH THE WOMAN AND SUBMITTED TO HER WILL.
How many apostles are yielding in the wrong direction now. God help us to walk with God regardless of whether it is in the cool of the day or in the fiery furnace. Wherever it may by, LET US WALK WITH GOD, THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD.
