The zion church

1. IT IS SUPERNATURAL – NOT NATURAL
• v.18 cf v.22
• Mt. Sinai was natural, ordinary and earthly; Mt Zion is supernatural
, extraordinary and heavenly
• This Church has more than just a natural, geographical position; it
has spiritual stature
• This Church takes us from the natural into the Spirit. It has
dimensions of the Spirit. The Holy Spirit dwells in our midst &
expresses Himself as much as He can.
• Our spiritual atmosphere must be conducive for the Spirit to move.
The Spirit Himself touches and meets the needs of the members

2. IT IS THE CITY OF THE LIVING GOD
• “City” speaks of governance and authorities. Zion is a Church that
represents God’s government and authority
• It has authority structure and chain of command. Everybody cannot be
doing their own thing
• There are ranks in the spirit. Members should not pursue equalisation;
they must stay within their grace & fulfil their call. Going beyond this will
open them up to demonic attack
• Phil.2:5f – Jesus was exalted because He did not pursue equality with
the Father. Gen. 48:19 – fathers know things that sons don’t
• Eph.4:15-16 – every individual part/member of the body must accept
responsibility for the body and contribute something

3. IT IS THE HEAVENLY JERUSALEM
• We don’t gather together for meetings; we appear before God
• This Church is the place of unlimited possibilities. It is a city
without walls (Zech.2:4).
• No other spirit except the Holy Spirit can limit us or place
boundaries around us (Acts 16:6-8)
• This is the place of depth of relationship intimacy with God and
also partnership with God (Rev. 21:1-2 – this Church is the Bride
of Christ)
• It is to this company that God focuses His plans & purposes.
Therefore we need to be a people who are accountable

4. MYRIADS OF ANGELS GATHER HERE
• This Church has heavenly reinforcements. These include ministering
angels and warring angels
• They remove obstacles from our pathways, sometimes opening us into the
miraculous
• The Word of the Lord is not just for preaching to members; activates the
angelic (Ps.103:20)
• The unseen realm is ordered by the presence of angelic hosts:
1. Jesus rebuked the storm because demonic powers were behind it.
Angels assisted to push these forces back
2. Rev.12:5f – when the Church brings forth sons to reign, war breaks
out

5. THIS CHURCH IS THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY
1) THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY HAS THE AUTHORITY TO
EXECUTE THE WRITTEN JUDGEMENTS OF GOD
i. Ps 149:5-9
ii. This Church executes what is written. It no longer listens to
sermons. The written judgements of God are declared and the
saints execute it
iii. “Ekklesia” – Thayer: “an assembly of the people (called out
from their homes) convened at the public place of the council
for the purpose of deliberating”
iv. This church is God’s tactical headquarters; a people of power
and intelligence

1) THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY HAS THE AUTHORITY TO
EXECUTE THE WRITTEN JUDGEMENTS OF GOD
v. This Church is the governing body, the Council, the parliament
and court-house where verdicts are pronounced and
judgements are executed
vi. Therefore there are some things we cannot afford to do:
a) We cannot afford to live frivolously & recklessly
b) We cannot build the church like we have done before
c) We cannot return to what church used to be

2) THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY ENDORSES THE NEW THINGS
THAT GOD WANTS TO DO IN OUR CITY
i. Nothing should be allowed within our jurisdiction without our
endorsement. This church has oversight over the city
ii. We have the power to get bills passed and laws changed
iii. The policies and legislation for our city should be conceived
within our spirits and through our declarations
iv. This church has a clear perception of the prophetic destiny of
the city

3) THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY CAPACITATES THE PEOPLE FOR
THE DIFFERENT DOMAINS OF THE CITY
i. This Church brings about a reformation of every sector of society
by strategically deploying competent sons of God
ii. It prepares the person and gives them the purpose. However,
the onus is upon the person to develop their own skills
iii. This church is like a recruitment centre. When society needs
competent business or political personnel, we must have them in
readiness
iv. Religion only trains believers for “church work”

4) THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY IS THE LEADER AND DIRECTOR OF
THE AFFAIRS OF THE COMMUNITY
i. We must provide leadership for the development of our city and
region
ii. The jurisdiction of the General Assembly is outside the “four
walls” of the church. It is not church as we know it; it is church
unusual! We must get involved outside the church
iii. Members of the General Assembly are trained and strategically
positioned in society
iv. Groundbreakers have the opportunity to be trained in politics &
mentored in business

5) THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY HAS ITS LIST OF MIGHTY MEN
i. 1 Chron.11:1f
ii. The whole nation came to covenant with David because they
heard the Word of the Lord concerning David
iii. However only 400 men gave themselves to the process of
establishing his kingdom. Not everyone who hears will build.
iv. It’s only some who will make the difference for the others. These
are the select ones who make all the difference. These make up
the General Assembly.

6. THE CHURCH OF THE FIRSTBORN SONS WHO
ARE REGISTERED IN HEAVEN
1) THIS COMPANY OF BELIEVERS ARE BLESSED WITH THE
BIRTHRIGHT
i. This is the core and apex of the Church: true sons. They are a
unique company of people
ii. They have a strong sense of ownership in the house and over
the Kingdom
iii. As a firstborn company they carry a double-portion of the Spirit
(Isaiah 61:7 “Therefore in their land they shall possess double”)
The first portion is received from their father’s impartation. They
receive it as their own. This portion is multiplied when they come
into their own inheritance

2) THESE ARE SONS WHO ARE MATURING TO THE FULL
MEASURE OF THE STATURE OF CHRIST
i. Eph.4:13 “till we all come to…a perfect man, to the measure of
the stature of the fullness of Christ”
ii. These are no longer babes and children in the Kingdom. They
have put away childish things (1 Cor.13:11 “When I was a child, I
spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but
when I became a man, I put away childish things”)
iii. The above also pertains to the younger 2nd generation in the
house. If legacy is to continue in them, we must speak to them
like they are somebody. We cannot water down the Word

3) FIRSTBORNS ARE IN PURSUIT OF AN INHERITANCE
i. Their inheritance: to take cities and nations for God (Ps 2:8)
ii. Gal. 4:1-2,7 – Their maturity as sons gives them access to
inheritance
iii. On the other hand, immature sons are always fighting for their
rights. Like the Prodigal Son, they have an entitlement mentality
i.e. “Give me my portion!” Later he returns to the father with a
posture of maturity saying “Make me…” The father therefore
blessed the son with true inheritance because self-centredness
was eliminated

4) FIRSTBORNS ARE PATTERNED SONS
i. The church of the firstborn will bring forth firstborn sons. These
are Christ-like sons made after the pattern of Christ
ii. They are the first-fruit company produced by the Church
iii. They are also the first-fruit company sown into the earth. The
world is not looking for Christians; it is looking for Christ, the Son
of God. Therefore, we don’t need Christian politicians; we need
politicians who are patterned sons – like Christ. Like Christ, their
mere presence will begin to change things

5) THIS CHURCH’S CONCERN: THE TRANSFER OF LEGACY
i. We therefore seek to build and release as many
Groundbreakers as possible. We also want to impart everything
we have and know to you
ii. Legacy cannot be transferred apart from relationship. Pursuing
relationship is therefore a non-negotiable. Members must deal
with & eliminate internal insecurities & hostilities
iii. Parents must transfer truth to their children. Your children must
know what God has spoken to you, the assignment of
Groundbreakers, and their role as continuity of legacy

7. ZION IS WHERE GOD IS THE JUDGE OF ALL
1) THIS IS THE PLACE OF GOD’S APPROVAL & ASSURANCE
i. This is the Church that is convinced that God is for them. They
are confident that they have His approval as His son
ii. Knowing that God is for us and that He approves us gives us
power, hope and victory even in the face of hostility
iii. Many believers misread attacks as divine disapproval. So they
respond wrongly and negatively. Examples:
 The disciples in the boat with Jesus (Matt.8; Mk 4; Luke 8)
 The reaction of David’s men at Ziklag (1 Sam. 30)

2) THIS IS THE PLACE OF CONTINUAL PURIFYING AND
PERFECTING
i. It is the place where our walk is continually judged so that it
meets up to the standards of God
ii. It is not possible to walk with God and to remain in uncleanness.
We must change our garments before we can sit with or sup with
the King
iii. Everything about us must become better and better (character,
relationships, spiritual sights, stature & influence). Our doctrine
must become clearer and clearer

3) THIS IS THE PLACE WHERE MY CONSCIENCE IS CLEAR
i. At Zion condemnation coming from within us ceases. Why?
Because God’s justice is measured by righteousness. We have
appropriated Christ’s righteousness within us
ii. When we come to Zion, the devil cannot accuse us any longer.
We are not under condemnation (Rev.12:10)
iii. Goliath harassed the minds of the army of Israel for 40 days until
they had no power to move. David arrived with a conscience
judged clear. Therefore nothing Goliath said could intimidate him
iv. Always keep your conscience clear & clean. Talk clean, think
clean, act clean

4) THIS IS THE PLACE WHERE GOD JUDGES SATANIC POWERS
i. Here God intercepts and strikes the enemy on our behalf. He
fights our battles for us
ii. In this dimension God subjects all our enemies to us. Those who
oppose us begin to be supernaturally floored before us
iii. Gen.14:14-24 – The king of Sodom’s visit to Abraham is
intercepted by Melchizedek. Abraham therefore does not
succumb to this enemy’s schemes.
iv. Even “backlash” becomes taboo to the spiritually mature

5. THIS IS THE PLACE WHERE GOD REWARDS US
i. When God judges us He does so to reward us. It is for incentive;
it is not punitive
ii. The heavens begin to open over us. Nothing is withheld from us.
God puts everything at our disposal
iii. This is the church that is going to reap the harvest. These are
the people who are going to be blessed in the days ahead!

8. ZION IS WHERE THE SPIRITS OF THE
RIGHTEOUS ARE MADE PERFECT
1. PERFECTION: THE GREATEST POTENTIAL AND CAPACITY
EACH PERSON CAN ATTAIN IN CHRIST
• “Teleios” – Christlike maturity, spiritual wholeness &
completeness
1. HERE YOU ARE ENABLED BY HOLY SPIRIT TO RISE BEYOND
YOUR LIMITATIONS
• You will live by the language of the Spirit (the Word of the Lord,
revelations, visions, dreams, prophecies and more). Joseph –
the dream was alive in him; through it he triumphed over set-
backs

3. THIS IS THE PLACE OF SPIRITUAL SYNERGIZING WITH ONE
ANOTHER
• Each one’s grace has been maximized. They are fresh & deep
wells. Here you are able to draw from each other’s grace &
measure
3. BEFORE ANYTHING CAN MANIFEST FROM THE SPIRIT WORLD,
IT MUST PASS THROUGH YOUR SPIRIT FIRST!
• You become the first connecting point between heaven or spirit
world and the earth

5. RELATIONSHIP AND CONNECTION WITH THE FATHER
BECOMES A REALITY IN THIS REALM
• Rom.8:15 “For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back
into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by
whom we cry, "Abba! Father!“”
• In this realm you come to fully realize the spirit of adoption
• It is the place of total satisfaction. In this realm you are no longer
concerned about yourselves; it all about the Father!

9. ZION IS WHERE JESUS IS THE MEDIATOR OF
THE NEW COVENANT
1. THERE IS ONLY ONE MEDIATOR: CHRIST HIMSELF!
• He is the only One who connects you to God. Nothing and no-
one else can connect you to God - not fasting, prayer, spiritual
works, books, psychology or any other thing
• It is only through Christ that you can have healing, deliverance,
blessings, power, anointing and more. Christ is the ONLY
Mediator!
• Only through Christ we can have success in all human systems &
endeavours (marriage, money, morality, ministry…)

THE NEW COVENANT
2. JESUS IS THE GUARANTEE OF THE NEW COVENANT
• Heb.2:8 tells us that God has “PUT ALL THINGS IN
SUBJECTION UNDER HIS FEET”
• Heb.6:20 calls Jesus “the Forerunner” which means: one who
comes in advance to a place where the rest are to follow
• This means that all the things that have been subjected to Him
will also be subjected to us!
• Because all things are already subjected to Him, He becomes the
guarantee of this promise to us. We are His body.

THE NEW COVENANT
3. JESUS SECURES A BETTER PROMISE FOR A GREATER
FUTURE FOR US
• Heb.9:24-28 - Jesus’ on-going ministry before the throne. He
appears before the presence of God to do three things: To take
away your sin, to intercede for you, for your salvation
• Although His ministry is behind the veil, we can connect to Him in
the real of the spirit. As Jesus draws from the Father He gives to
us
• A limitless life is resourced from this place. We can experience
life in abundance. Walking in this dimension changes everything.
Things that other people cannot touch we can receive in Zion

THE NEW COVENANT
4. JESUS’ PRIESTLY MINISTRY BEHIND THE VEIL WILL BRING
ABOUT THE MAKING OF A NEW MAN
• Whatever is lacking in you as a “man-Christ” you will receive
here. Christ will form us with Word coming from behind the veil
• You become more and more Christ-like - more of His nature, His
personality, His whole being manifesting in you
• This is why it is critical that you spend more time in the dimension
of the Spirit. The more you immerse yourself in the Spirit, the
more the life of Christ forms in every area of your life

THE NEW COVENANT
5. JESUS IS THE AUTHOR AND PERFECTER OF OUR FAITH
1. He will cause His Church to enter a level of faith where they will
move mountains & do great miracles, signs and wonders
2. Your faith will be set on His Word. You will speak His Word and
believe that His Word can do the impossible
3. You will speak and it will happen. You will be able to operate like
God here on earth. The power of your words will have the same
effect as the words of Jesus
4. You will have power over nature, your circumstances and so on

10. ZION IS WHERE THE SPRINKLED BLOOD
SPEAKS BETTER THINGS THAN THE BLOOD
OF ABEL
1. THE BLOOD OF JESUS WAS THE HIGH PRICE GOD PAID TO
REDEEM YOUR SOUL
• The high price was Jesus’ blood! Therefore you cannot be
snatched out of His hands. The devil cannot offer any counterbid
for you
1. THE BLOOD OF JESUS IS A HEDGE OF PROTECTION AROUND
YOUR LIFE
• Around your family, possessions, wealth, mind and emotions
• Also over your body too. Sickness should not persist because
God has paid the price. Our own negligence, stresses brings
sicknesses upon us

OF ABEL
3. THE BLOOD OF JESUS CLEARS YOUR CONSCIENCE WHEN
YOU PRODUCE THE FRUIT OF REPENTANCE
• Your spirit has 3 functions: communion, intuition, conscience
• When you change/repent your past cannot taunt you any more.
Its power is broken. Your conscience is cleansed
4. THE BLOOD THAT COVERS THE MERCY SEAT AND THE
BLOOD THAT COVERS YOU ON EARTH IS THE SAME BLOOD
• Heaven’s demands are satisfied; the standards of living God
demands are also satisfied. I am approved as His son

OF ABEL
5. THE BLOOD OF JESUS SPEAKS OF THE POWER OF AN
ENDLESS LIFE
• Blood speaks of life. Jesus blood was unique because it
comprised the life of God. It came directly from God – not from
Mary
• Medical science has shown that the blood of a mother and her
unborn child never mixes ("It is an established physiological fact that the
mother's blood is neither the source nor supply of the blood in the unborn
infant's veins. It is the contribution of the male which leads to the development of
the blood”) Jesus partook of human flesh neither with Eve’s blood
– nor with Adam's blood!
• Jesus’ blood was incorruptible because He came from
above!
