ACE #303: Get Your Church House in Order: The Call for Spiritual Mentoring

As the nation is grieving over the tragic death of Dr. Myles Munroe, his wife, and members of his ministry team, the Lord clearly spoke that there are things that must be done to get our church houses in order:

1.    Be intentional in leaving behind a legacy full  spiritual teachings, sound ethics and moral behavior that will last down through generations.

2.    Refuse to lead and leave the church house in debt.

3.    Train young ministers in the word of God and in Christian leadership.

4.    Cultivate disciples to have generous hearts – not greed-filled hearts.

5.    Prepare the next person in line as did the spiritual mentors of the Bible.

Spiritual mentors in the Bible included:

Jethro to Moses

Moses to Joshua

Naomi to Ruth

Eli to Samuel

Samuel to Saul

Saul to David

David to Solomon

Daniel to Nebuchadnezzar

Jesus to His Disciples

Paul to Timothy

In the words of Dr. Munroe himself, “It is time to pass the baton.”

We offer our prayers for the families and church family devastated by this loss.  Dr. Munroe’s legacy will live on in the hearts and minds of many.

Matthew 28:16-20

›The Great Commission

16 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
