THE GREAT COMMISSION
His Grace Bishop Joseph M Masekoameng
We greet one and all in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. From the Beginning of the year we overcame through Prayer and Fasting for January 2021....We have only 5 months to obey his calling.....and start right away in winning souls for Jesus.
Let us all say, we are not going to approach less than 5 people a day adding up to a total of 100 people in one calendar month. One can make use of His/her WhatsApp, Facebook , Instagram, Open air, Funerals, Weddings in the area or even whilst queuing in Clinics, Home Affairs etc. We are to have our first Conference/Convention in the middle of the year to check on our footprints and progress.
The office of the Bishop....which is the office of a Deacon and Apostle is here to assist Servants of God where possible to back you up. The local church and its leadership are to consider using Mukuru.com, Pep-Stores, Spar Supermarkets, Shoprite or Capitec Bank accounts to allocate your monthly tithes received as follows:
80% in favour of the local church
10% in favour of the Pastor
10% in favour of the Bishop
Foe example is the total received is R1000 then R800 goes to the Church,R100 to the Pastor and R100 to the Bishop
the same if its :R10 000 received R8000 goes towards the Church,R1000 to the pastor and the remaining R1000 to the Bishop
The Food and other items collected are for the mission house, by the local leadership. No one Individual can singlehandedly represent the Church. All local tithes must be centralized and the split to be arranged by the church board as stated.
It is the duty of the local church to build its own church buildings utilizing the building funds and offerings. There is no pastor amongst you, who should fiddle with funds of the church for his personal gains. The Church does not belong to a local pastor, but to God under G.C.C. We saw these errors last year and certain people are ignoring important instructions and they dont know that our elders can replace them with immediate effect. Obedience is better than Sacrifice. We even went further in our investigation and found out that some pastors are teaching the flock wrongs things that are against our Constitution and running the Church as if it is their personal property, choosing preachers mostly out of G.C.C without our concern.....Be Aware.
When you have members above 50,do not elect local leadership as a Pastor....You should invite the Bishop to elect the Committee of Seven on your behalf renewable every 12 months......Until the Church has reached maturity to elect Elders and Deacons .Obedience is better than Sacrifice.
I hope we can now put this matter to bed and no longer continue discussing it in our Churches and local leadership must be informed of all blunders created against the Church's Will.
Let us all work together as a family .We are not Stupid or Fools....We pay tithes in your Church ,you in turn, direct funds for personal gains in your local so-so's.....Absolute No ,No. Let us have order and abstain from stealing Church funds. When they need a financial report in South Africa.....I shall be accountable,not your local so-so,....Don't ever Justify yourselves that you are acquainted to one of the members of Commission, hence your branch wont have a problem when you steal church money. Be Aware.
To Be Continued...
