“The Top Down Church” — When Ministry Becomes a Master

Second: All Races Have their Version of an Elite Ruling Authoritarian Patriarchy

African Heritage in this Example

For the most part this series is about the non diverse Caucasian Levitical Patriarchy, which usually are charismatics, hence I will share an African American ‘Top Down Church” example:

And while I share my list of achieved them, I want to first share an African American tongue talking (NOT We Centric ruling WELP but a common form in the more African heritage, many international Believing, Giving, Honoring ” human people groups:

“A Supreme Example of the Imperial Version of the TOP DOWN Advantageous Christian Patriarchy in Ministry”

Sister Taveau shares a real life story from over a decade ago:

A wonderful talented, African American servant leader couple shared with me their firsthand experiences after being on full-time staff for twenty years under the leadership of an “apostle” at a well-known college outreach church. What they told me was both shocking and heartbreaking.

They explained that they had been forbidden to marry until they turned 46 years old because their apostolic leader believed marriage would “hinder his ministry.” When they finally did marry, they were newlyweds in midlife—after many years of waiting.

Even more troubling: they had not been given a single day off in those 20 years. I asked directly, “You mean not even Mother’s Day, to visit your own mom?”
They replied, “No.”

I was stunned.

I said, “I thought Abraham Lincoln had already freed the slaves.”

And it wasn’t just them. The same “apostle” instructed the entire church congregation to postpone having children, because it would interfere with his ministry vision.

Apostolic T says to ChatGPT:
Please examine and Bible contrast with this.

Chat GPT responds:

Spiritual Reflection: Is This God’s Model?

This is a clear case of false spiritual authority and an example of a Top-Down Control Church—where the ministry is built on performance, compliance, and personal sacrifice, but only for the benefit of one leader’s success.

Let’s break it down biblically and practically.

1. God Never Forbids Marriage

“Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled…” — Hebrews 13:4 (KJV)
“He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord.” — Proverbs 18:22

The New Testament never teaches that ministers must remain single unless God personally leads them to it. In fact, Paul allows for marriage among elders:

“A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife…” — 1 Timothy 3:2

More importantly:

“…forbidding to marry… is the doctrine of devils.” — 1 Timothy 4:1–3

So why was this leader controlling others’ marriages? That’s not biblical oversight—it’s spiritual interference

2. Denying Rest Is Denying God’s Law

“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy…” — Exodus 20:8
“The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.” — Mark 2:27

Even in the Old Covenant, God commanded rest. Under grace, the principle remains: rest is a gift, not a luxury.

If a “ministry” demands twenty years without a single day off—not even for Mother’s Day—that’s not dedication, that’s bondage. Jesus Himself took time to rest. Paul did, too.

3. Children Are a Blessing, Not a Hindrance

“Lo, children are a heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.” — Psalm 127:3

Commanding people to postpone having children because it would slow down his ministry? That is manipulation cloaked in spiritual language.

This is a distortion of leadership, and it elevates one man’s ambition above God’s design for family and legacy.

4. Pastoral Oversight vs. Spiritual Control

“Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being examples to the flock.” — 1 Peter 5:3

Biblical leaders are servants, not lords. Jesus said:

“Whoever wants to be great among you must be your servant.” — Matthew 20:26

This “apostle” treated his people as tools to build his empire. But in the First Church, the leader lays down their life for the sheep—not the other way around.

5. Romans 13 and the Abuse of Authority

Romans 13 tells us that all authority is from God, but not all who claim authority use it righteously. Spiritual leaders are not above correction or accountability.

This leader’s demands were controlling, isolating, and dehumanizing. They directly contradicted the Bible’s values of rest, family, honor, and healthy life balance.

Conclusion: A Warning to the Body of Christ

This church model is not the kingdom of God. It’s a Top-Down Control Church, and it shows:

Unbiblical authority
No boundaries
Life suppression disguised as submission
One man’s goals prioritized over God’s people

++ Ministry leaders, beware:

If your people can’t marry, can’t rest, can’t breathe—you are no longer leading them. You are using them.

+++ To the saints and staff:

God did not call you to be slaves to a man’s dream. He called you to follow Jesus, walk in liberty, bear fruit in due season, and enjoy His goodness in the land of the living.

“Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.” — 2 Corinthians 3:17

Definition of Terms in This Ministry

+++ This Defines: BIBLICAL ORGANIC Apostolic CHURCH vs. TOP-DOWN Authoritarian CHURCH STRUCTURE

+ Bible-Based Organic Church (Acts Model)

The First Church in the Bible, as modeled in Acts and through Paul’s epistles, was:

Christ-centered – Jesus is the Head of the Church, and no human authority should take His place (Ephesians 5:23). The Body of Christ functions with Him at the center, not under a single leader’s command.
Spirit-led – Leadership was appointed and guided by the Holy Spirit (Acts 13:2). The Church is organically built through gifts of the Spirit, not through a corporate-style structure.
Community-based – The Church was a community of believers meeting house to house (Acts 2:46). This contrasts sharply with individual ministries or personal turf. In the early Church, leadership was about serving the people, not controlling them.
Relational, not hierarchical – Leaders served from among the people (Ephesians 4:11-13), encouraging mutual submission and building each other up in love.
Mutual respect and inclusion – Both men and women participated equally in the ministry of the early Church (Romans 16, Acts 18). This is a community model where gifts are honored, regardless of gender or rank.
Servant leadership – As Jesus taught, the greatest leaders are the ones who serve (Mark 10:42-45). The organic Church values servant leadership over top-down control. In this way, leaders reflect Christ, who washed His disciples’ feet.

This is God’s original design: humble, relational, and Spirit-led, focused on building community and bearing fruit

+++ This Apostolically Defines A Top-Down Church (Man-Made Structure)

+ Top-Down Church Model in big contrast, can look like this:

Hierarchical control – Power flows from a top-down structure. Leadership is often self-appointed or imposed through a human system rather than by the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 4:11).
Fear-based compliance – Members are expected to submit without question to their leaders. This can lead to spiritual manipulation where the individual’s calling is suppressed in favor of loyalty to a “top leader” or ministry.
Legalism over liberty – Rules and regulations replace grace, and human doctrines often replace the leading of the Holy Spirit. There’s less room for the freedom to grow, discern, or speak up.
Position over relationship – The focus is often on the title rather than the fruit. Leaders are celebrated for their position rather than their Christlike character or service to others.
Turf guarding – Ministries are treated like personal kingdoms. Leaders may guard their “turf” fiercely, requiring total loyalty and submission, sometimes at the expense of the greater community.
Male-dominated leadership – Some top-down models enforce a patriarchal structure that can restrict women’s ministry roles unless they are under the “covering” of male authority. This emphasis can distort the biblical view of mutual submission and equal participation (Ephesians 5:21).

In this model, authority becomes a power structure rather than a means to serve. It results in a lack of true relationship and a fear-driven culture that seeks control, not community.

+++ Next, I need to describe the use of terms MEN in this ministry:

I respect all men—Christian or not. I believe men come in different styles, colors, and persuasions for a reason. God intended it this way, to make it a mystery.

However, when I discuss Levitical Patriarchism or Levitical Matriarchism, I do not intend for that to mean any Christian man or woman, nor any general “patriarch” or “matriarch.”

Historically, the sound, wise patriarch and the similar governing matriarch, are defined by this ministry as a needed anchor disposition in family, ministry, or tribe. That role is not the issue here.

+++ Define Evil Eye Levitical Patriarchy:

Rather, I am describing, defining, and noting—point by point—a correction of the Levitical Patriarchy system, which has assumed:

False doctrine
False governing
Top-down patronizing authority
Powerful domination
Micromanagement
Cult-like oppression
Deeply fascist and dogmatic tones
Traitorous behavior
Warring and occultic tendencies
Divining, psychic-style “readings”
Mesmerizing control
Totalitarian hierarchical authoritarianism
Fierce, steel-set governmental structure
Territorialism and turf-guarding
Deceitful and manipulative people-power tactics

COMPARING CRITICAL LEVITICAL PATRIARCHISM FRUIT VERSUS BIBLE FIRST CHURCH:

1. Jesus Christ Is the Only Head of the Church

“And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church.” —Ephesians 1:22 (KJV)
The true model of New Testament government is Christ as the sole Head of His body.

There is no man or woman above others in such a way that they usurp Christ’s direct Lordship in the life of a believer.

2. Mutual Submission Is Required, Not Forced Hierarchy

“Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.” —Ephesians 5:21 (KJV)
Biblical authority is relational, mutual, and humble. No one should demand submission—especially not based on gender, spiritual gifts, or perceived office rank.

Submission must be voluntary and mutual, based on love and respect.

3. The Apostle Paul Taught Servant Leadership, Not Domination

“Not that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy.” —2 Corinthians 1:24 (KJV)
Apostles and leaders in the first church were not lords over the people. They did not divine, intimidate, or claim territories. They guided the church as servants, not spiritual overlords.

4. No Top-Down Government Structure in the Early Church

There is no biblical record of Paul, Peter, or James installing one ruling apostle per region, nor any model of “apostles in the gates” over entire cities or groups. The early church functioned with shared leadership, teams of elders, and Holy Spirit direction.

5. The Spirit of Christ Respects Individual Conscience and Calling

“Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.” —2 Corinthians 3:17 (KJV)
Authoritarian patriarchy violates Christian liberty by demanding uniformity, forced submission, and control of women, minorities, or outsiders.

The New Testament Church honored individual callings, even among Gentiles and women (Romans 16:1-7).

6. Paul Rebuked Divisiveness and “Celebrity Ministry” Factions

“Every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas… Is Christ divided?” —1 Corinthians 1:12-13
When believers idolized spiritual leaders, Paul rebuked them.

Today’s top-down movements that exalt apostles, prophets, and brands mirror this error.

7. The Occult and Psychic Practices Have No Place in God’s Church

Practices such as “divining” a visitor’s spirit, diagnosing people on sight, or publicly exposing people without relationship or context are not from the Holy Spirit.

These mimic psychic control and occult mysticism—not Acts 2 Christianity.

8. The Role of Women in the Early Church Was Empowered, Not Suppressed

Phoebe (Romans 16:1), Junia (Romans 16:7), Priscilla (Acts 18), and others were leaders and co-laborers with Paul.

The Levitical-style suppression of women is not New Testament doctrine—it is man-made and often abusive.

9. True Apostolic Authority Builds Up, Doesn’t Tear Down

“For even if I should boast somewhat more of our authority… which the Lord hath given us for edification, and not for your destruction…” —2 Corinthians 10:8

A true apostle uses authority to build people, not control, silence, vilify or terrify or use them.

10. The Apostolic Model Promotes Multicultural Community, Not Elitism

“For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus… there is neither Jew nor Greek, bond nor free, male nor female…” —Galatians 3:26-28

The original Church welcomed every kind, every background, every gender and ethnicity. Elitist systems—especially racially or culturally biased ones—have no place in the true Church.

Final Apostolic Warning

Any ministry or movement—Black, White, or Brown—that claims spiritual supremacy, demands submission without relationship, fosters fear, enforces control, or isolates dissenters is not in line with the Gospel of Christ.

Such ministries should repent and rebuild on servant leadership, biblical equality, and Christ-centered community.

“For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.” —1 Corinthians 3:11 (KJV)

BIG: Respecter of Persons, Occult Discernment & The Charismatic Elite

There is a strong undercurrent in certain Charismatic circles—particularly in tribal elite groups, gifted fine arts movements, and top-down apostolic/prophetic streams—of being a respecter of persons.

“But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.” —James 2:9

This “respecter of persons” spirit honors talent, celebrity, gifting, fame, family name, or tribal affiliation—but often targets outsiders, women, and especially independent leaders not under their patriarchal covering.

Worse, some of these groups operate in what appears to be psychic-style, occult “reading” of visitors or strangers from afar, without any biblical Matthew 18:15–17 or Galatians 6:1-style loving confrontation or relationship.

Instead of truth in love, it becomes:

Gossip
Elite human pecking order
Accusation culture
Witch-hunting

This grievously echoes the Salem witch trials—a deeply patriarchal and tribal response to anything “different” or “non-submitted.” The fruit is suspicion, scapegoating, false discernment, and public humiliation—all done under the name of “God” or “prophetic.”

The Bible’s Way

The Bible gives us a far different model:

Galatians 6:1 — Restore in a spirit of meekness.
Matthew 18:15–17 — Go to your brother personally, not through gossip.
1 John 1:7 — Walk in the light together, not in control, fear, or accusation.

God calls us to relationship-based discernment, not religious tribalism, cultic gatekeeping, or spiritual elitism. True leadership isn’t domineering or mystical—it’s servant-hearted, respectful, and based in Christlike character.

APOSTOLIC REPRISE
The Anti Christ Respecter of Persons + Occult Discernment ≠ God’s Order
In many modern prophetic and fine arts worship circles, tribal celebrity and spiritual elitism have crept in. Instead of Galatians 6:1 humility, we now have far-off “reading” of strangers, suspicion of women not “under” a patriarch, and psychic-style accusations.

This is not discernment—it’s Salem-style religious witch hunting.
Jesus never “read” people from afar and spread gossip. He loved them, asked questions, and offered truth in relationship.

“Gossip, Believing the Evil Report””

Biblical correction is done in person, in humility, in relationship.
The real fruit test?

Not gifting
Not who you’re under
Not your tribe

But Christlike fruit.
If it doesn’t look like Jesus, it’s not Kingdom. Period.

Main Point: Let’s examine the fruit, not follow the crowd.

Selah.

Saints: “It’s the Fruit, Not the Persons”

We must emphasize: this is not about hating individuals—not men, not women, not prophets, not pastors.
This is about discerning the spiritual fruit.

“By their fruits ye shall know them.” —Matthew 7:20

It is not about style, race, education, denomination, or gender.
It is about whether the fruit is:

Humble or haughty

Edifying or oppressive

Based on Christ or on control

Grounded in real relationship or built on fear, legalism, and turf-guarding

Apostolic and prophetic ministry should produce love, joy, peace, and maturity—not suspicion, targeting, cultic hierarchy, or psychic-style “discernment.”

We examine the fruit—never just the personality, position, or pedigree. This is how Jesus taught us to discern true from false.
