The Local Church: Your Divine Connection to Increase

Jesus gave gifts to the church. Ephesians 4:11 says, “and he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers.” One of Satan’s greatest weapons of warfare against the church is promoting the lie that Christians don’t need a pastor. That lie has made believers an easy target of destruction. But God wants you to be divinely connected to a spiritual supply. God has already chosen your pastor, and He wants you to flourish in the place He called you to. The pastor is one of God’s gifts to the body of Christ. He is called is called to feed, mature, and prepare Christians for the work of the ministry and to advance God’s Kingdom. As Jeremiah 3:15 says, “and I will set up shepherds over them, and he shall feed them…” In this book Dr. Keys shows us how we can be divinely connected and led by the Holy Spirit to a pastor of vision who will bring increase into our lives. Then he outlines practical steps to find your pastor and stay connected. When you are with the right pastor, you are in the right church. That is your divine connection.
