The modern Church has so metamorphosed to something very different from the early Apostolic Church.

The Apostles sought GRACE to fulfil God’s requirement, today we seek FAVOUR to obtain our requirements. They...
*CONFRONTATION, CONVICTION AND CONVERSION THROUGH THE WORD* These terms are here intended to explain the internal processes of dealing with Depravity and Demonism through various forms by which our Hearts encounter the Word of God.

*BOTH CHURCH AND STATE ARE EQUALLY DIVINE INSTITUTIONS* Under the sun in this world, God has ordained two complementary institutions of the Church for spiritual/religious ministration to congregational members, as well as the State for secular/civil ministration to cosmopolitan and community citizens.
