Generally, there is an invitation extending to any potential members at the closing of every service at Restoration of Life. At this time you are welcomed to come forward to accept the invitation and a member of the New Members Committee will assist you.

You will be asked to present a copy of your Ordination Papers to your Care Pastor to be forwarded to the Apostles for further review.

A person who has the call of a Pastor, has been recognized by the Apostles of this house, and has been licensed under this ministry. The Care Pastor has been appointed and released by the Apostles to share the care and spiritual nurturing for the people of God. The role of a Care Pastor is based on the scriptures found in Exodus 18:17-26.

Each member is assigned a Care Pastor who will keep in contact with them. This is done by regular phone calls, monitoring of service attendance, fellowship, and spiritual guidance. A bi-monthly report is given to the Apostles, keeping them informed of the member’s well being. If there is a situation that the Care Pastors cannot resolve, you will be referred to meet with one of the Apostles. These appointments are only referred through your Care Pastor.

There are presently seven (7) Care Pastors.

♦Pastor Altha Lawson

♦Pastor Barry Dennis

♦Pastor Julius Edwards

♦Pastor Martha Guilford

♦Pastor Terrence Roulac

♦Pastor Mary Richardson

Tithing, along with giving offerings, is the method God has placed in effect for His children to prosper. When you give into the Kingdom, you are planting seed that will grow into a financial harvest, because there is a reciprocal relationship involved. In other words, as you give to God, your heavenly Father gives back to you! This is why Malachi 3:10 says, “Bring ALL the tithes into the storehouse” — not part of the tithes, but ALL — “That there may be food in My house, And try Me now in this, Says the Lord of hosts, If I will not open for you the windows of heaven And pour out for you such blessing That there will not be room enough to receive it.” (NKJV)

The word tithe literally means “tenth,” so a tithe is one tenth of what you make. If that were not enough, after Jacob dreamed about the ladder going to Heaven in Genesis 28, he vowed to the Lord, “And this stone which I have set as a pillar shall be God’s house, and of all that You give me I WILL SURELY GIVE A TENTH TO YOU” (Genesis 28:22).

The tithe should go to “the storehouse,” which is where you are taught how to apply God’s Word to every circumstance in your life. This should be the church where you worship and fellowship with the saints. Notice that I said, “where you are being taught.” Only you know where you are being fed the Word of God, so where you consider your storehouse to be is your decision. Just remember that you will have to give an account to the Lord as to where you place your tithes. So you want to be sure that your tithes and offerings are always “planted into good ground.” Now, along with “planting” (giving), you have to keep “watering” your seed by confessing the Word and saying, “In the name of Jesus, I believe I receive the windows-of-heaven blessing.” Each time you proclaim this confession, while walking in line with God’s principles, you make inroads into the spirit-realm and bring your blessings forth from the spirit world into the physical world. In the spirit world, such a confession keeps your seed (whatever you are believing and confessing) growing. When you systematically continue to make your confessions relative to your tithes and offerings, Satan cannot touch your blessings. But when you fail to adhere to the directives given in God’s Word, Satan can and will steal your blessings and there is nothing God can do about it.

You also have to keep in mind that, just as with seed you plant in the physical ground, there is a time element involved between planting your financial seed and receiving the corresponding harvest. God is in the spirit world, and that spirit world is outside the realm of the physical. The blessings God has given us as the result of our giving have to come from the spirit world into the physical world, and it is faith that makes that transfer. Therefore, you have to be patient. You do not want to be tricked into thinking, “Well, that is really something! I planted my seed seven days ago, and I do not see anything yet. I’ll just go ahead and plow this ground up, pour some concrete, and make a patio instead.” If you do that, you will most certainly miss out on your blessings. Remember that God is faithful, and He always honors His Word. Keep planting, keep watering, and your harvest is sure to manifest.
