Legacy of Mantles is a ministry set out to reach two categories of people: those who are passionate to operate in any or all of the five-fold ministry and those who have no desire at all (Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age — Matthew 28:19-20).
Our underlying goal is to raise these passionate people to be ready for the calling of God in their lives and go on to point them to their office in the five-fold ministry through mentorship and spiritual guidance. It is our hope that while at this, we will attract even more people to take up their cross as it becomes convincingly clear through our teachings that the call of God is on us all—no one is exempted.
The ministry is inspired and built on the legacy and solid foundation laid by men and women of faith in times past who devoted their lives to the call of God on their lives. They answered the call of God in times humanity was lost and God could not reach us. In their bid, they cast a massive wave of revivals, faith walks, a renewed belief in God, miracles, and healings. The likes of Elijah, Elisha, Smith Wigglesworth, Maria Woodworth-Etter, Kathryn Kuhlman, A. W. Tozer, Oral Roberts, etc.
They reached heights of success in their ministries; some of which were short-lived because of certain personal and societal hurdles they could not surmount. We see glimpses of these anointings on past generals at work in the ministry of men and women of faith today as Elisha walked in the anointing of Elijah, his mentor.
While these mantles of great men and women are transferred to us, we don’t have to copy blindly. It is our goal that by exploring the legacy of these great people of God, we will expose participants to these personal and societal hurdles that can potentially render their ministries short-lived. And in more practical ways, navigate what led to the heights of success in their ministries.
Legacy of Mantles hopes to set participants on a journey to create an atmosphere for God to flow freely in their ministries; renew their relationship and bond with the Holy Spirit; understand the miraculous work of prayer and healing. Again, It is our hope that in a series of teachings and mentorships, participants will:
Build their personality by learning more about themselves: their personal strengths and weaknesses. In order to harness their personality for their gain. (Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. — Hebrews 12:1)
Learn more about the societies they dwell, the dynamics of culture, language, race, ethnicity, beliefs, affiliations, etc., and how to navigate these to send the word of God to these people or to be able to bring them together as one in God. (And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead so that in everything he might have the supremacy. — Colossians 1:18).
Understand the five-fold ministry; what it entails and its demands.
Learn from the legacy of great people of God who have operated in these gifts or ministries.
Go on to operate in the office(s) they are called. (He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. — Mark 16:15)
