There is no doubt that Yahshua (Jesus) knew that humans may attempt to build His Church haphazardly. He therefore ensured that the Master plan for the Church should be properly released and documented. The sad reality of both the Roman and Protestant versions of Christendom is the deliberate abandonment of the master plan so clearly articulated, at great cost, in the Holy Writ which is the heart of the New Covenant. A conservative estimate of those who are ‘building churches’ even among Pentecostals and Charismatics will reveal that there is no regard by majority of what the Word says. Rather ‘churches’ are built to suit either the fancies of their ‘founders’ or the needs of their ‘target groups’. Consequently, the desire to ‘succeed’ trumps the need to obey the Head of the Church.
Let us review a few salient facts to understand how and why vessels are chosen by divine election to fulfil specific purposes.
Matthew: To capture His life, words and work in print for the benefit of the Jews, Yahshua personally recruited a man with the right skills of documentation, Matthew the Tax Collector. For this reason, Matthew traced His family tree all the way to David, the great King who Yahweh ordained as human progenitor of the Ultimate King as well as to Abraham, Father of the Hebrew race.
Matthew 9:9 (KJV) 9And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.
