Transitioning Into a Father Church

The journey of faith is not static - it is a process of transformation, growth, and stepping into new phases of God’s plan. Yesterday, in our session on Transitioning Into a Father Church, the focus was on what it means for our KGM family to move beyond being a typical gathering of believers into becoming an example, a model, and a source of wisdom for nations, communities, and families.

Moving Beyond Old Paradigms of Anointing

For many, the idea of “anointing” is tied only to miracles, prophecy, or dramatic manifestations of power. But Scripture shows us a broader perspective. When God filled Bezalel with His Spirit in Exodus 31, it was not to heal the sick or cast out demons - it was to give him wisdom, understanding, and skill in craftsmanship. Similarly, Joseph was recognized by Pharaoh not because he held revival meetings, but because he brought solutions, strategies, and wisdom that preserved Egypt during famine.

The message is clear: the Spirit of God is not only power but also wisdom, knowledge, and practical solutions for every sphere of life. Transitioning into a Father Church means embracing this fuller expression of God.

Becoming Deputies of God in Every Sphere

One of the key insights shared was that our first occupation as believers is “deputyship” - representing God wherever He places us. Whether you are a lawyer, engineer, teacher, or artist, your true assignment is to carry God’s wisdom and presence into that field. Just as Daniel excelled in Babylon because he combined both learning and dependence on God, so too must the Church embody excellence in work, strategy, and understanding.

Being a Father Church means raising people who do not only gather but who are sent - sent into workplaces, communities, and nations as carriers of God’s solutions.

The Presentation of God Through Work

Another challenge was given: how do we present God through our daily lives? The world often has a low opinion of the Church because of the way it has been presented - late, disorganized, mediocre. But Scripture calls us to reveal the Father through excellence. Jesus said, “Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”

A Father Church must embody maturity, responsibility, and wisdom. It must not only pray for change but also demonstrate it through character, excellence, and solutions.

From Power to Wisdom

Signs, wonders, and miracles have their place, but what sustains transformation is wisdom and principles. A miracle may fix a crisis for a moment, but wisdom builds systems, strategies, and lasting change. That is why Pharaoh turned to Joseph and why kings relied on Daniel. To be a Father Church means to be trusted as a source of guidance, strategy, and answers for society’s deepest challenges.

Living as a Father Church

Transitioning into this identity requires a shift in mindset. It means:

• Seeing God not only as power but also as wisdom and understanding.

• Living as God’s deputies, representing Him in every sphere of life.

• Presenting God well through excellence, discipline, and integrity.

• Becoming a church that equips and releases believers to influence their world.

  
  

The call is not simply to gather in worship but to rise as an epicenter of wisdom and solutions for nations.

Just as Joseph fathered Pharaoh and guided Egypt, the Father Church must father communities, economies, and generations with God’s wisdom.
