Listening Lifestyle – prioritise listening prayer 

Word from the Lord.:“Take responsibility for the apostolic message” 

Big issue for the church:Apostles were still valid, but how does the church relate to that calling to be an apostolic people? Is the church supposed to use its resources to support the apostolic ministry? 
To take responsibility means more than cheering on the others

Need to shoulder some of the burden. Mark 10:34-45. Can you drink the cup I drink?  Who wants to take this on without God’s call? 
God said to Cain, “Where is your brother? “Cain’s response is an apostolic question, “Am I my brother’s keeper?” 

Pastors need to care about the whole body. To just care about my own people, that is Cain’s error. Apostles are supposed to present the Bride to Christ so to be apostolic means burden for the whole church not just my own ministry This means we must pray for them. 
Pray for real apostles to emerge and for the apostles you know. 
Haggai 1:1-8. The Lord’s house is the church. People are so concerned building their own house, but we need to be concerned with the Lord’s house.
