This Week\u2019s Audio Message<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God’s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. \u2013 Ephesians 4:11-13<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

For the past two weeks, we have been pondering on the 4th<\/sup> of the 5 Aspects of \u201cActivating Kingdom DNA\u201d<\/a>:\u00a0 exercising our market place competencies in the Spirit\u2019s power \u2013 providing clear benefits to the company\u2019s business operations.\u00a0 Last week, we shared on how we served Tony Wear in renewing its brand identity \u2013 by establishing their core values based on Kingdom values espoused in \u201cthe River of Water of Life\u201d<\/a>. \u00a0This week, I would like to share on how the Holy Spirit brought together \u201cthe body\u201d to exercise Tony Wear\u2019s newly established core values and demonstrate a powerful testimony.<\/p>\n

Eight weeks ago, the Lord gathered to Donald, the apostolic figure, a team of designers (with prophetic insights), builders (as pastors building and nurturing), multimedia specialist (evangelist\u2019s communication anointing), branding coaches (teachers), and intercessors (prophets, pastors & teachers). \u00a0Even though this team had never worked together, they were drawn by Donald\u2019s apostolic vision to immerse \u201cthe River of Water of Life\u201d into the fashion industry.\u00a0 In less than six weeks, this team of apostle, prophets, evangelists, pastors & teachers accomplished an incredible task that is only possible through a unified vision of \u201cthe body\u201d.\u00a0 They began \u201cre-imaging\u201d Tony Wear through a:<\/p>\n
