An apostle can be identified as a sent one—a man sent by God. He is a special envoy or an ambassador who carries a particular message. In the body of Christ, an apostle is a commissioner of the gospel. He carries only one central message: the message of the Kingdom.
The assignment given to these sent ones is to “make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” (Matt. 28:19). This core assignment of the apostle is what is known as the Great Commission. From this, we can emphatically state that if anyone claims to be sent by Christ and is not found in the business of discipleship, that claim must be questioned. Discipleship is the mandate given to every representative of Christ. Whoever is called by God is expected to disciple a people.
In this era, we see many acclaimed men of God who have veered far away from the mandate of the Kingdom. Because of the laborious nature of discipleship and the unpleasant taste of the true gospel of the Kingdom, many who were called have deviated from the assignment. Discipleship is no longer the heartbeat of modern church leaders. As a result, they have introduced worldly systems that distance the very people they were called to groom and nurture into maturity. If this error lingers, we are set to raise a generation of believers who do not know their roots nor their God.
At this stage in history, we are in the final era of Christianity—the Laodicean era. We are neither hot nor cold. Clearly, this generation is plunging into gross darkness. Unless true apostles rise, the Lord will eventually spew this generation out.
However, God has not abandoned His Church. He is in the business of recovery. Yes, there is an ongoing recovery of the true apostolic mandate and an enlistment of true apostles to do the work of the Great Commission—men who will turn the heart of this generation back to Himself.
