God wants to bring the church to a new season. And for God to do this, He is releasing a new level of authority. Therefore, it is high time that as leaders we operate in the new authority and let us confront anything that opposes our operation.
It is time that God wants to commission new leadership. Mark my words; it is not about leaders but leadership. God is concerned about responsible leadership and He is causing people to desire a new level of holiness. What goes on in the church of Christ today is questionable, undesirable and alarming.
As FPFK if time will allow in future, we will deal with our foundations and background. Let the truth be said, our foundations and background have affected us. The time has come that we must come out of our background differently, as it happened to Abraham, who came out from his background with a new genealogy and started a new generation.
One of the outstanding and key components in a growing church is a clearly defined vision. The book of Proverbs 29:18 states; “when
people do not accept divine guidance, they run wild. But whoever obeys the law is joyful” (NLT).
But the famous translation says “where there is no vision the people perish; but he that keeps the law, happy is he” (KJV).
Without vision, the human resources that God has given to our church will be wasted.
Free Pentecostal Fellowship in Kenya (FPFK) is a church that is rich with resources, we only need to open our eyes and utilize the
resources accordingly. God gives vision to a man that is the leader and not to a group.
The Late Rev. Francis Mbuthia, who went recently to be with the Lord used to say this, “For God so loved the world and did not send a committee.”
The stalled Premier Hotel construction at our Head Office has posed a great challenge to our organization. You remember when we came into leadership, we lodged an appeal to our churches countrywide to raise funds to pay the debt of the contractors and if possible, continue with the construction of the hotel.
We started on a high note but finally, we ended on a very low note. Despite that, as the National Board we visited our churches to solicit for funds, yet the response wasn’t encouraging.
Due to pressure from the contractors, because of money owed to them, the Board was forced to borrow some funds from our partners and together with collections from our churches, we were able to clear debts.
May God bless our churches that came in for the rescue of our organization. It is my desire as your Presiding Bishop to bring this project to completion once and for all.
I encourage us to evangelize and thus plant more churches at all levels beginning from the Local, Regional and to the National level. Our wish was that by this year 2025, every Local Church should have planted at least one Branch church. We thank the Local churches and the Regions that have managed to achieve this. Keep it up praying for one another.
John Maxwell says “everything raises and falls on leadership.” We discussed much in the beginning about leadership. As FPFK Leaders, God wants us to raise our standards in all spheres of life; spiritually, morally, economically, intellectually, socially and physically
Resource mobilization should be given a priority. The former Board had a good idea of transforming FPFK financially by coming up with the Premier Hotel project.
Brethren, if this project comes to completion, it will definitely transform the church and empower our ministers economically.
Finally, our visits to the regions will continue. Through God’s help, I was able to visit some regions last year and wish to extend my gratitude to the regions for the cooperation and welcoming.
Romans 12: 2: It is our prayer that we do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world. In our churches today, love for material things and pride of life is evident.
Let us urge our members to be involved in ministry and let everyone actively participate in the work of ministry. Let us continue
Presiding Bishop
