Good Morning GHIM Family

First and foremost, we thank God so much for equipping us with the
knowledge and wisdom to serve through this three-day church workers'
programme. We are grateful for our Apostle, whom God mightily used to
download revelation from heaven, aligning us with His divine purpose and
the direction He wants us to take in His house.

On the third day, Apostle Ethan delivered a powerful and insightful teaching
on the theme "Understanding the Spirit of the Church (Ministry)."
Building on the foundation laid in the previous days, Apostle emphasized the
importance of understanding the spirit and vision of the church for effective
service. Below is a detailed breakdown of his message:

A recap of the key points from Day 2, was done

Apostle then began by enlightening the house that churches operate


differently, each with a unique grace and spirit of the house. Just as the 12
tribes of Israel functioned in different ways while serving the same God,
every church has its distinct identity and spiritual flow. For example, the
House of Issachar understood the times (1 Chronicles 12:32), and because of
this, they were able to align their actions with God’s timing and purposes.
This illustration was used to explain how essential it is for every worker to
flow with the Spirit of the House they are serving under. Each church carries
its own unique calling, vision, and grace, and without understanding the
spirit of the house, effective service becomes difficult.

 The dangers of not understanding the Spirit of the House can lead to
feelings of offense or disconnection, causing one to resist or fight the
work of God unknowingly.
 Without catching the Spirit of the House, serving effectively becomes a
challenge.

How to Catch the Spirit of the Ministry

 A question may arise from believers "How do I catch the Spirit of the
Ministry?" Apostle explained that there are several aspects that one
must grasp in order to catch and flow with the Spirit of the House:

1. The Vision of the Church

Habakkuk 2:2 was cited to highlight that a clear vision is essential for
everyone to understand and run with it.
 The vision of GHIM is centred on manifesting the Kingdom of God by
raising an Apostolic generation. Every worker needs to understand this
vision and contribute toward its fulfilment.

2. The Principles of the House

Apostle Ethan emphasized that the Word of God is the foundation for all
principles governing GHIM. Everything taught and done in the ministry is
rooted in Scripture, ensuring that the work is grounded in biblical truth.

3. The Standards of the House

 Commitment and integrity are core values within GHIM. Workers are
called to live lives that are not compromised by the world.
 Faithfulness is key, and all standards in GHIM are Scripture-based,
ensuring that every member aligns their lifestyle with biblical
teachings.

4. The Doctrines of the House

 The Apostle explained that just as different churches have different


doctrines, every worker must understand and abide by the doctrines of
their house.
 Acts 2:42 teaches that the early church continued steadfastly in the
apostles’ doctrine, and GHIM Church has its own set of beliefs derived
from Scripture, including:
 Belief in being filled with the Holy Spirit or being drunk in the Holy
Spirit than wine and any other substances
 A monogamous marriage structure (one wife, one husband).
 Use of anointing oil (James 5:14).
 Belief in speaking in tongues, miracles, and healing, both
supernaturally and through doctors. The church does not endorse
"foolish faith" that disregards medical treatment.
 Belief in the wisdom of God as a companion to faith. The Apostle gave
practical examples on this and said It’s not always about fasting and
prayer; sometimes it’s about using wisdom, as seen in the lives of
Ruth, Esther, and Solomon. Ruth used wisdom by being diligent, which
attracted Boaz. Wisdom is a vital component in navigating life’s
challenges, and most people frustrated in church often lack wisdom.
 In GHIM, doctrine is based on the Word of God, and we also believe in
the Ministry of Angels.

5. The Anointing of the House

 Apostle Ethan explained that there is an anointing that rests upon the
leader of the church, and those who serve under that leader can
receive from this anointing.
 1 Timothy 4:14 speaks of not neglecting the gift that comes through
impartation.
 He also emphasized the importance of qualifying for the anointing,
using Elisha as an example (2 Kings 2:9). Elisha had to follow Elijah
closely to receive a double portion of his anointing.
 Desiring the anointing on a leader is not an act of worship but one of
honour. Workers should desire to tap into the same anointing that
empowers the leader for their own ministry.
 Understanding the source of the anointing is critical. It’s important to
honour and align oneself with the spiritual leadership to benefit from
the grace upon the house.

In closing, Apostle Ethan reiterated that understanding the Spirit of the


Church is foundational to serving effectively in the ministry. Workers need to
align with the vision, principles, standards, doctrines, and anointing of the
house. Without this understanding, they risk hind Without this
understanding, they risk hindering the work of God. Flowing in the Spirit of
the House brings unity, clarity of purpose, and a deep sense of belonging,
making service not just easier but more fruitful.

Final Prayer and Impartation

The service ended with the Apostle leading a powerful time of prayer, where
he laid hands on all those who had come for the Church Workers Training
Programme. He imparted them with the grace and spirit to serve excellently
in the house, empowering them to carry out their responsibilities with
dedication, wisdom, and alignment to the vision and anointing of GHIM.
Through this prayer, the workers were spiritually equipped to serve with a
renewed sense of purpose and commitment.

We thank God for His faithfulness throughout this training and for the
abundant grace imparted to us for effective service.
