You are wired in a certain way according to the 7-gift modalities that have been given in creation. The circuitry is a default behaviour that follows a pattern ingrained and unique to your DNA, ie, you default natural abilities. Your DNA is what makes you tick and what ticks you off.

Race is what you are. Religion is why you care. Nationality is where you live. Language, what you know. But modality is why you matter.

Medicine believes in answers at the back of the book. Secular psychology has departed from this position. It’s premise is that every baby born is like a blank sheet (tabula rasa). The Bible has a different approach in answer to one of life’s biggest question: What makes life worth living and, why?

Paul’s travels took him further afield as the kingdom was established in specific geographical locations across Turkey (Asia minor) and into Europe.

Finally he gets to Rome where the human periodic table is revealed of modal excellencies, the Roman matrix found in 12:6-8 (gifts of Abba Father).

These gifts are “stirred up” individually involving days, weeks, months and sometimes years of teaching, coaching and mentoring, the innate and elemental birthright gifts given are one of the 7 archetypes that are based on the same “pattern as shown to Moses”.

These are elemental gifts that are your birthright defaults (already in you), “geniuses” if you like, that need to be “stirred up” in a loving and safe environment.

The other two lists – Corinthian and Ephesian matrix, are for the establishment of the local church and the Kingdom that needs to be imparted by the laying on of hands, and have an almost immediate, instantaneous and spontaneous effect.

The impartation by the Spirit expands the core, the modalities keeps the whole system in perfect order in a finely-tuned “universe” of charisms.

The kingdom, thus, as Jesus says, is like a store man who brings out both old and new stuff out of his storehouse…

Our first mission trip to the Philippines (circa 1986) was 33 years ago to the beach resort of Car-rille in San Fernando, La Union. It was a trip under the auspices of the venerable Canon James Wong of Chapel of the Resurrection when Lianne and I were part of a fresh outpouring of the Spirit upon the Anglican clergy beginning in San Fernando. We learned to expect the unexpected as the Spirit fell during our dinner in the cafe, the most unlikely place for the revival to spark. Later that night, priests were getting up testifying of the grace of God to overcome all sorts of addictions.

33 years later, our local church is blessed to host our 48th batch in the School of Modalities and DAVT-30 in a ceremony of Ordination held at our Geylang base on Friday 11th October 2019. We are thankful for the little part we played in the greater story God is telling through revival prayer in the city of San Fernando where Advancing God’s Kingdom (AGK) Ministries International is active in modal excellence.

Ordination is how our leaders are recognized and titled. It is God’s credentials for ministers, including non-levitical ministers, by the instrumentality of a degree conferred from a recognised Bishopric. The non-levitical nature of this ordination is complementary to your secular education as you pursue full ministerial accreditation under DAVT. Ordination is not coronation. Needless to say, this certification does not celebrate academic achievement and is examined on an entirely different basis than that of the university system.
