Change and transition are in the atmosphere especially in the body of Christ! Some Christians are preparing for the great escape (rapture) while others are preparing for a great move of God, a Third Great Awakening resulting in the salvation of millions of people. While I do believe in the imminent return of Jesus, I find no where in the Bible we are to ever stop advancing the Kingdom of Heaven in our region. In recent years God has restored and is restoring the New Testament model of the Apostolic Hub or Apostolic Center. Apostolic Hubs is the center of a number of different and varying ministries. The Hub's purpose is to build and advance the Kingdom of God in a city, region, nation and the world. The hub is led by a group of five-fold ministers with a senior leader, usually an apostle. A successful hub will usually have a plurality of five fold leaders forming a team.
With that said, "What does a hub have to do with revival?" Revival and awakening is not a single church event but in the New Testament it was a city or regional event. God's vehicle for equipping the saints for the work of ministry was the apostolic hub. The believers were fathered by an apostle and equipped by the five fold ministers. Revival can be very messy and exhausting especially when placed within the four walls of a church model. When ministries are networked together from a central hub a spirit of cooperation and teamwork will erupt in the city or region and the Kingdom is advanced. Most leaders prepare for great meetings by getting the nursery ready for all the new families bringing there children, training parking lot attendants to park the cars, ushers to direct the people and of course altar workers. Everyone is busy but the city and region are not truly effected by the outpouring. An apostolic hub will equip the saint and send them outside the four walls of the ministry to do the work of serving.
