God, in His infinite wisdom and divine providence, has appointed spiritual leaders to guide His church and serve as channels for His divine influence and help. These anointed leaders function as conduits through which the Lord's power and spiritual virtues flow to benefit His people (the church). But how do spiritual leaders function as points of contact for believers to receive these spiritual virtues from God? And how can believers fully benefit from this divine provision?

In this October 2024 Special Programme, Pastor Jeffrey Walter sheds light on the underlying principles governing spiritual leadership, as established in heaven, and how leadership in the church (on the earth) must be patterned after this. He illustrates how to honour spiritual leadership, explains the essence of point of contact, uncovers pride as the stumbling block to receiving from spiritual leadership, and establishes the link between leadership and purpose.

In this episode, “Point of Contact”, Pastor Jeffrey Walter details how spiritual leaders serve as points of contact for the release of God’s power and divine provision to believers. He continues to elaborate on how believers must perceive and connect with the spirit-filled utterances and actions of spiritual leaders in order to benefit wholly.

This message will help you know how to receive and take full advantage of the benefits embedded in the spiritual influences that proceed from spiritual leadership.

Leadership in the kingdom of God, unlike earthly leadership, places the interest (i.e, common good as determined by the Lord) of the people being served first. In the heavenly kingdom, the leaders are the servants, yet they are clothed with greater glory and honour. Why are spiritual leaders vested with so much honour? What does it mean to honour a spiritual leader, and what are the ways to genuinely honour and properly relate with them, in order to fully benefit from the grace that the Lord has bestowed upon them for our sake?

In this October 2024 Special Programme, Pastor Jeffrey Walter sheds light on the underlying principles governing spiritual leadership, as established in heaven, and how leadership in the church (on the earth) must be patterned after this. He illustrates how to honour spiritual leadership, explains the essence of point of contact, uncovers pride as the stumbling block to receiving from spiritual leadership, and establishes the link between leadership and purpose.

In this episode, “The Nature of Spiritual Leadership” Pastor Jeffrey Walter teaches on the dynamics involved in Spiritual Leadership, emphasising how it differs from earthly leadership. He explains the concept of honour in relation to spiritual leadership, highlighting the necessity of it. He teaches that, for one to benefit from spiritual leadership, there must be a strong recognition that the leader is the chosen and ordained vessel, through whom God's blessing can reach them.

This message will help you to maximise all the benefits made available to you through spiritual leadership. Pay heed and be blessed.

Key Scriptures

Luke 22:25-27 KJV 25 And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors. 26 But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve. 27 For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth.

To love the Lord is to intend to do good, and to love the neighbour is to actually accomplish that intended good. Oftentimes, we find that we focus on accomplishing the external good, regardless of our selfish intentions. This is not what God desires because by doing that, we are unchanged within, and our actions are only temporal. What then does God desire of us in this respect? How can we love the neighbour according to God's will, so that we can contribute to the role of the church on this earth?

In this continuing message, “Love Thy Neighbour, Part 3”, Pastor Jeffrey Walter teaches that no man loves God without rightly loving the neighbour. He admonishes us to examine our intentions in our daily dealings with others, and emphasises that God seeks our salvation from sin above all else, and so we must also make this goodness our priority when dealing with others.

This message will turn your attention from the temporal acts of goodness, which only bring external satisfactions, to the more internal dealings of the heart, which result in true eternal transformation. It will also open your eyes to the essence of the church in God's plan, and the need to partake in it.
