Those who have a ministry outside of their local church ministry should always be properly aligned in their local church, and being approved in all areas including the way dress and carry ourselves, for not only do we represent the Kingdom of God, but we also are a representation of our church, our pastors, and what we are being taught. We all have been given such a great and awesome responsibility to show forth the praises of Him who hath called us out of darkness into His marvelous light. And as we continue to grow and develop our “Vertical Worship” relationship with God, He will equip us with all the grace, strength, abilities, and the anointing that we need in order to minister horizontally to all men.
