In this third reformation a greater outreach will be establish that will lead to the fulfillment of the great commission and massive social transformation. Among the congregations within a city is a greater outreach that only few can see this outreach, this outreach is the key to change our world. It is the key to the fulfillment of the great commission and massive social transformation; this outreach is called the workplace. –(Rev. 11:15)

The width of the Church is the Marketplace Church, the length of the church is the apostolic church, the depth of the church is the Koinonia Church, and the height of the church is the City Church. –(Eph. 3:14-21)

The outreach of the City Church is the workplace, is the church in the workplace. This is why there must be alliance between church apostles and marketplace apostles, or you can say workplace apostles, along with prophets. The leadership of the City Church is city apostles and among them are marketplace apostles that have been called to be city church apostles. –(Prov. 29:18)

The purpose of the Church is to be the bride of Christ, ambassadors of the Kingdom of God, and the Priesthood of the Kingdom of God, the church is the city built on the Great Mountain that is filling the whole earth, which is the Kingdom of God. The Church is limited within their giving purpose however the Kingdom of God is growing everywhere, is in your hearts, and is manifested through you. To move in the purposes of the Church you must be a priest, and to move in the Kingdom you must be a king. –(1 Pet. 2:5,9, Rev. 1:6, 5:10)

The five grace ministries of Christ are to equip the saints for the work the ministry, which is the priestly ministry of the church. The Apostles, both church apostles and marketplace apostles are to raise up believers to their calling in the Kingdom as kings. –(Eph. 4:12, Acts 6:1-8)

The Kingdom of God will come in Jerusalem, in Israel, in all cities and in all nations; this is a progress leading up to the return of Christ. The Kingdom of God has already came and begun to fill the earth since the day Jesus seated on His Throne right next to His Father. The Kingdom of God grows throughout the world in every nation and in every city, and the Kingdom of God will fill the whole earth. –(LK. 19:11-27, Dan. 2:34-35,44-45)

The End Times is a time of the glorious Church, fullness of the City Church, and beginning of the fullness of the Kingdom of God. These reasons are why the outreach of your congregation and the church of your city is the workplace. It is through the workplace the Kingdom of God will fill the Earth, As the Kingdom of God fills the Earth the Church will grow and increase more, but the Kingdom of God will be greater then the church. The Church is the heart of the Kingdom of God, and the believers in the workplace are the ones who will manifest the Kingdom of God and bring social transformation. –(Hab. 2:2-3)

We have already enter into the time of reformation when the church will be reconstructed to the Word of God, Nature of Christ, Order of God, the Will of God, and of the ways of the Holy Spirit. This reformation is the third reformation; this is a reformation of all things in the church. –(Heb. 9:10)

The first reconstruction of the church will be the reconstruction to relationship; for most of the history of the church has been without relationship, we have be building outside of relationship, and our fellowships are not base on relationship, and therefore we have been in a famine of relationship and love for some time, this has open the door for certain things to enter the church. –(1 Jn. 1:1-10)

We must build the walls and the gates, the walls are called salvation and the gates are called praise. Christ is the King of kings and Lord of lords over His Kingdom and He is the Head and Chief Apostle over the whole church and all apostles, prophets and leaders. He is building two houses; one is the Kingdom of God, the other is the Church. The foundation of the Church is the Apostles and Prophets, and Jesus Christ is the Chief Cornerstone. The Church is build upon the Kingdom of God; the Church is a city build at the top of the Kingdom of God. The foundation of the Kingdom of God is the Rock of Christ, the Rock of Christ grow into a great mountain, which is called the Kingdom of God. We must know the purpose of the Church and the purpose of the Kingdom; the Church is the priesthood of the Kingdom of God, we are at the beginning of end of restoration of the priesthood and the priest, now we are entering into the beginning of the restoration of the kings of the Kingdom. This is why we have enter into this reformation, and God will use apostles in this holy reformation, and He will use apostles is rising up the kings of His Kingdom. The next steps are the equipping of the saints and then the step of rising of the kings of the Kingdom. –(Rev. 1:5-6, 5:10, 1 Pet. 2:5,9)

We lead people to Christ; then we lead them away from Christ! Living for Christ is ongoing relationship with Him; through our so-called Churchianity we have been leading them away. We must establish young believers in their relationship with Christ and their relationship with one another. First and foremost the church must be build on relationship and then revelation. Relationship is living in the love of Christ and loving one another, then relationship is the doorway for revelation to flow in our lives; revelation is truth and Grace. –(Matt. 22:37-39, Deut. 6:5, Jn. 13:34-35, Gal. 5:14)

When a believer comes to know Christ they are a babe, as they grow they become children, and then young men, and from their they become fathers, or you can say mature believers. Milk is for babes and children. We are feed the lamps, and then we are to feed the sleep with the meat of the Word. The meat of the Word is for young men and fathers or you can say mature believers. –(Heb. 5:12-14)

When a person comes to know Christ they need to be discipleship; which is the teaching of the elementary principles of Christ and reaching a point when a person can stand on their two own feet as a believer in Christ. Today we have many who cannot stand on their two own feet. How can they stand after all they have done if we do not first establish them in the elementary principles of faith? –(Matt. 28:19-20)

A congregation is the network of home cells. Home cells are the place where we build relationship. After babes in Christ pass through the door of discipleship, then they need to enter into a fellowship of believers in a home cell. A home cell is the place where there is relationship, ministry of the gifts of the Spirit, caring for one another, eating together, and praying for one another. –(Acts 2:42, 46)

This is why home cell leaders must be train, they must work in a team, and every thing in a congregation must be done in teams. Home Cell leaders carry the function of pastors to the congregation, and leadership is raised up among the home cell leaders. The need for a pastor changes; babes and children need a pastor to feed and care for them more, however young men and mature believers don’t need a pastor like babes and children do, instead they need a pastor for fellowship, prayer, and encouragement. Children are equipped, young men are mentor and father. After one goes through discipleship they are to be equipped for the work of the ministry. The saints are to do the work of the ministry the five-fold ministry is to equip the saints, apostles and prophets are the foundation of the church, the first and second in church government, and the apostles, prophets and teachers are to minister in work of the government of the church. –(Eph. 4:11-12, 1 Cor. 12:28)

The Home Cells are for relationship, fellowship, prayer, encouragement, and accountability. The congregation is for corporate worship, vision, equipping, and apostolic and prophetic ministry. Apostles, prophets and teachers minister within the whole of the congregation. An apostle is the senior elder of a congregation, along with other apostles, prophets, and teachers. The leadership of the whole congregation is mature ministers, which are called elders. A congregation is when home cells come together for corporate ministry. –(1 Cor. 12:28)
