3. Ministry is Relational Based:
· God’s order for people are to emerge into a destiny is ‘Father –Son Order’
· Father-Son order is foundational principle of the Kingdom of God
· Father-Son order is a basis of all ministry in both NT and OT
Ø Jesus - does what he sees the Father do - Jn 5:19; 2 King 2:12
Ø Elisha - cried ‘My Father, my Father’ not my Prophet or Teacher
Ø Timothy - ‘My own son in the faith’ - 1 Tim 1:2
Ø Titus - Titus a true son - Tit 1:4
Ø Joshua and David

iv) God forms men – Process spiritual foundation, serving, impartation, discipline, shaping
v) God anoints and sends – blessing of Father -> Son
