REAL APOSTLES HAVE A HEART FOR PASTORING PEOPLE
One of the proofs of a genuine apostolic church (apostolic centre, resource church etc) is that they have an apostle and are connected in apostolic alignment. The apostle or apostolic leader is able to function as a New Testament modern day apostle - but that doesn’t mean they don’t do any pastoring.
Our generation wants to see less of the apostle model that functions from a superiority complex and is reckless with the sheep. Real apostles actually have a heart for pastoring people and they KNOW HOW to pastor the sheep.
A genuine apostolic leader carries the heart of Jesus, understands suffering that produces refinement and sensitivity, and cares about people like Jesus does.
It doesn’t mean that they’re going to do all the day-to-day work of pastoring. They are more likely to build up and pour into “pastoral teams.” They will be attracted to helping leaders to cultivate a “shepherd’s heart” and function in the grace of the Bishop of our souls, the Lord Jesus Christ.
