The
Vision
(a) Christian
Family Churches of Australia was born out of a vision that God called
into being to reach people with the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, to
join together those people who through like faith in Christ desire to
fellowship together, and who together with all others who confess Jesus
as Lord make up the body of Christ which is the church.
(b) Christian
Family Churches should be the demonstration of a ministry that meets the
needs of the community and makes Christ centered contributions to the
said community in which God has placed C.F.C. Assemblies.
(c) Christian
Family Churches of Australia is associated with all the churches in Australia
who are committed to the statement of faith contained in this constitution.
(d) We
recognize that The Church of Jesus Christ is theocratic in government
with God appointed ministers operating on Biblical standards as indicated
in the books of the New Testament Canon of Scripture.
CHRISTIAN
FAMILY CHURCHES OF AUSTRALIA:
INTRODUCTION:
PRO 29:18:
Where {there is} no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the
law, happy {is} he. (KJV)
THAT
IS WHY THE NEED FOR THIS CONSTITUTION, WHERE THERE'S NO VISION THE PEOPLE
PERISH. WHEN CHRISTIANS ARE CALLED OF GOD AND ARE GIVEN MINISTRY AND SERVICE
POSITIONS IN THE BODY OF CHRIST, MANY TIMES THEY PERISH FOR LACK OF REVELATION
AS TO WHAT THE CHURCH AND MINISTER REQUIRE OF THEM, AND NOT LEAST OF ALL
THE LORD HIMSELF REQUIRES OF THEM!
THEY
GET LUKEWARM AND LAZY; THEY'LL FLOAT AROUND, NOT KNOWING WHAT THEY'RE
SUPPOSED TO DO!
AS YOU
READ THIS CONSTITUTION, I WANT YOU TO MAKE A DECISION OF WHAT YOUR GOALS
ARE, HOW THEY LINE UP WITH THE LORD'S GOALS, C.F.C's GOALS AND THE PASTORS
GOALS.
WHEN
YOU DO, YOU'LL HAVE SUCCESS IN YOUR LIFE IN CHRIST, YOUR MINISTRY AND
YOUR CHURCH. YOU'LL BE SINGLE MINDED.
(James
1:5-9 NKJ)
(5) If
any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally
and without reproach, and it will be given to him. (6) But let him ask
in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea
driven and tossed by the wind. (7) For let not that man suppose that he
will receive anything from the Lord; (8) {he is} a double minded man,
unstable in all his ways.
I HAVE
A VISION FOR THIS NATION, STARTING FROM WHERE THE LORD HAS TOLD ME TO
BEGIN, HERE IN QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA.
HE HAS
TOLD ME TO WRITE IT DOWN IN THIS BOOK IN SECTIONS, FOR ALL WHO WOULD JOIN
THEMSELVES TO THIS VISION, AS THE LORD DIRECTS THEM. TO MAKE IT PLAIN,
SO AS TO SEE WHAT I REQUIRE OF THEM.(Habakkuk
2:2-3 NKJ)
(2) Then
the Lord answered me and said: "Write the vision and make {it} plain
on tablets, that he may run who reads it. (3) For the vision {is} yet
for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie.
Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not
tarry.
LABOURERS
TOGETHER:
YOU CANNOT
DO THE JOB THAT GOD HAS CALLED ME TO DO BETTER THAN ME, AND I CAN NOT
DO YOURS BETTER THAN YOU.
GOD HAS
CALLED ME TO BUILD THIS CHURCH WITH HIM AS HIS CO-WORKER AND GOD HAS CALLED
YOU TO JOIN WITH ME IN THIS VISION AS MY CO-WORKERS IN JESUS.
WE ARE
CALLED OF THE SAME GOD, THE SAME LORD, THE SAME SPIRIT, TO WORK TOGETHER
AND KNIT TOGETHER. THEN AND ONLY THEM WILL WE TAKE THIS LAND, AND THEN
THE WORLD FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
I CAN
ONLY DO WHAT GOD HAS TOLD ME TO DO; I'M GOING TO WORK TOWARDS THAT HEAVENLY
VISION HE GAVE ME.1CO
3:9
For we
are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, {you are} God's building.
(NKJ)
WE ARE
CO-LABOURERS TOGETHER, WE ARE TO WORK TOGETHER.2CO
6:1
We then,
{as} workers together {with Him} also plead with {you} not to receive
the grace of God in vain. (NKJ)
1CO 1:10
Now I
plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you
all speak the same thing, and {that} there be no divisions among you,
but {that} you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the
same judgment. (NKJ)
IF YOU
HAVE A MOVEMENT OR A CHURCH THAT'S NOT SAYING THE SAME THING, YOU'LL HAVE
DIVISION. IF THE BODY DOESN'T SHARE THE SAME VISION, THEY NEED TO GET
IT TOGETHER, THERE MUST BE UNITY.
UNITY
MUST FIRST OF ALL BE WITH THE WORD OF GOD, AND THE VISION GOD HAS GIVEN
THE SHEPHERD OF THE MOVEMENT OR CHURCH.
THEY
ALL HAVE TO HAVE THE SAME VISION AND BE CALLED TO WORK TOGETHER, THE SAME
GOAL TO SEE SOULS WON INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD, NOT JUST THE GROUP WE BELONG
TOO.
MAT 18:19
"Again
I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that
they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven.
ISA 1:19
If you
are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land; (NKJ)
SEE
IT THROUGH:
JOH 4:34
Jesus
said to them, "My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and
to finish His work. (NKJ)
I'M GOING
TO FINISH THE WORK THE LORD HAS GIVEN ME TO DO. I'M GOING TO REACH THE
GOAL GOD HAS TOLD ME TO REACH. I'M NOT GOING TO BE ASHAMED. WHEN YOU MAKE
THE DECISION TO DO WHAT GOD WANTS YOU TO DO, AND KEEP TO IT, YOU'LL SEE
RESULTS; YOU'LL REACH YOUR GOAL, IT'S CALLED FAITHFULNESS. I CALL IT THE
ABILITY TO STICK TO THE VISION NOT MATTER WHAT--STICKABILTY!
DO
WHAT GOD SAYS:-
IF HE
SAYS JOIN YOURSELF TO THIS VISION AND GET INVOLVED, GET INVOLVED. IF HE
SAYS TO HELP FINANCIALLY, GIVE MONEY. DON'T BE TOO BUSY TO DO WHAT HE
SAYS TO DO! AS WE ALL WORK TOGETHER, WE CAN GET THE JOB DONE. WE ALL HAVE
OUR PART TO PLAY.
(1Corinthians
12:14-18 NKJ)
(14)
For in fact the body is not one member but many. (15) If the foot should
say, "Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body," is it
therefore not of the body? (16) And if the ear should say, "Because
I am not an eye, I am not of the body," is it therefore not of the
body? (17) If the whole body {were} an eye, where {would be} the hearing?
If the whole {were} hearing, where {would be} the smelling? (18) But now
God has set the members, each one of them, in the body just as He pleased.
YOU SAY
"WELL GOD HASN'T GIVEN ME A VISION, BUT I BELIEVE HE HAS CALLED ME
TO THIS WORK." THEN CATCH THE VISION OF THE MAN THAT GOD HAS CALLED
TO BUILD THIS WORK, CATCH MY VISION, BE FAITHFUL TO THIS MINISTRY. BE
WILLING TO BE OBEDIENT. YOU'LL EAT THE GOOD OF THE LAND!
JOH 17:4
"I
have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have
given Me to do. (NKJ)
DO YOU
WANT TO GLORIFY GOD? BE OBEDIENT TO WHERE HE HAS CALLED YOU AND FINISH
THE WORK HE HAS CALLED YOU TO DO.
MANY
PEOPLE DON'T EVEN GET INTO THE FIRST PHASE OF THEIR MINISTRY, LET ALONE
FINISH IT. WHY? BECAUSE THEY LISTEN TO EVERYONE BUT GOD.
THEY
LOOK TO EVERYTHING BUT THE VISION, THE GOAL; THEY DON'T DO WHAT GOD SAID
TO DO.
2TI 4:7
I have
fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
(NKJ)
WE'RE
IN THE MIDDLE OF A SPIRITUAL WAR. WE CANNOT GIVE UP. WE CANNOT FAINT.
WE'VE GOT TO HOLD FAST. WE'VE GOT TO FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH.
1TI 6:12
Fight
the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also
called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many
witnesses. (NKJ)
I NEED
YES MEN TO BE AROUND ME! YES, YES MEN AND WOMEN, WHO WILL SAY YES TO GOD,
YES TO THE PASTOR AND YES TO THE VISION!
WE'RE
ON THE FRONT LINES; WE CANNOT HAVE A BUNCH OF INCOMPETENTS TRIPPING OVER
ONE ANOTHER, PRETENDING TO BE SOLDIERS; WE'VE GOT TO BE ORGANISED. IT
WOULD BE USELESS TO FOR ME TO GATHER MEN AND WOMEN AROUND ME WHO DO NOT
HAVE MY VISION, WHO DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE GOALS SET FORTH. WE MUST HAVE
UNITY OF VISION IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, THEN WE HAVE GODS BLESSING!
PSA 133:1
Behold,
how good and how pleasant {it is} For brethren to dwell together in unity!
(NKJ)
MAT 12:25
But Jesus
knew their thoughts, and said to them: "Every kingdom divided against
itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against
itself will not stand. (NKJ)
AMO 3:3
can two
walk together, unless they are agreed? (NKJ)
LUK 10:2
Then
He said to them, "The harvest truly {is} great, but the labourers
{are} few; therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers
into His harvest. (NKJ)
THAT
IS MY PRAYER, THAT GOD SEND ME LABOURERS, GROUNDED IN THE WORD. AND WE'LL
ALL WORK TOGETHER AND GET THE JOB DONE! PRAISE GOD YOU ARE BEHIND ME AS
CO-WORKERS IN THE LORD. YOU HAVE CAUGHT THE VISION, FOR WITHOUT IT YOU'LL
PERISH, SET YOUR GOAL AND GOD WILL HELP YOU REACH IT. WAIT FOR IT, BECAUSE
IT WILL SURELY COME; IT WILL NOT TARRY!
