From Lamb to Lion

 From Lamb to Lion

The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, which is often represented as a lamb, is also called to embody the boldness and authority of a lion. This transformation into a Lion Church is rooted in the power of Christ, who is both the Lamb of God (John 1:29) and the Lion of the tribe of Judah (Revelation 5:5). The Church must mature from gentleness and submission (as a lamb) to boldness, authority, and dominion (as a lion) while maintaining the humility and purity of Christ.

Below are key steps for the transformation of the Church into a Lion Church, supported by full KJV scripture references:

1. Recognizing Jesus as the Lion of Judah

The transformation begins by understanding that Christ is both the Lamb and the Lion. The Church follows His example, moving in boldness, power, and dominion.

  • Revelation 5:5 – "And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof."
  • Matthew 28:18 – "And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth."

Jesus, as the Lion of Judah, has already overcome, and His Church must walk in His victory, authority, and fearless dominion.

2. Receiving the Power of the Holy Ghost

A Lion Church is empowered by the Holy Spirit to operate in supernatural strength and boldness.

  • Acts 1:8 – "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth."
  • 2 Timothy 1:7 – "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."

The Holy Ghost transforms fearful lambs into bold lions who are unstoppable in advancing God's Kingdom.

3. Walking in Boldness and Courage

A Lion Church is fearless in proclaiming the truth, resisting evil, and standing against opposition.

  • Proverbs 28:1 – "The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion."
  • Acts 4:31 – "And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness."

The early Church was transformed from fearful disciples into fearless preachers who challenged kingdoms, cast out demons, and proclaimed the Gospel with authority.

4. Exercising Authority Over the Enemy

A Lion Church understands and enforces the victory of Christ over Satan and his works.

  • Luke 10:19 – "Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you."
  • 1 John 4:4 – "Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world."

Instead of being victims, the Church must become warriors, declaring the dominion of Christ over sin, sickness, demons, and all evil.

5. Declaring the Kingdom of God with Authority

A Lion Church does not remain passive but advances the Kingdom of God forcefully.

  • Matthew 11:12 – "And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force."
  • Romans 8:37 – "Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us."

The Church must speak with power, prophesy with boldness, and move in the supernatural to enforce the will of God on earth.

6. Conquering through the Word and Prayer

A Lion Church is founded on the Word of God and moves in powerful prayer.

  • Jeremiah 23:29 – "Is not my word like as a fire? saith the Lord; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?"
  • James 5:16 – "The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much."

Just as a lion’s roar terrifies its enemies, the Church must declare God's Word in prayer and prophecy, shaking the spiritual realm.

7. Advancing in Spiritual Warfare

The Lion Church does not retreat but engages in battle, fighting for souls, territories, and nations.

  • Ephesians 6:12 – "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
  • 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 – "For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God."

Through prayer, fasting, and spiritual warfare, the Lion Church destroys the works of darkness and establishes God’s dominion.

8. Operating in Signs, Wonders, and Miracles

A Lion Church demonstrates the power of God through signs, wonders, and miracles.

  • Mark 16:17-18 – "And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover."
  • John 14:12 – "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father."

The Lion Church must manifest the supernatural, proving the reality of Christ’s power.

9. Preparing the Way for the King’s Return

A Lion Church is not passive, but actively prepares the world for the return of Jesus Christ.

  • Revelation 19:11-14 – "And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war... And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean."
  • Matthew 24:14 – "And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come."

The Lion Church roars with the message of repentance, revival, and righteousness, preparing the nations for Christ’s second coming.

Conclusion: From a Lamb Church to a Lion Church

The Church must mature from passivity to power, from submission to dominion, and from fear to boldness. A Lamb Church follows the Good Shepherd, but a Lion Church enforces His Kingdom on the earth.

This transformation requires:
✅ The revelation of Jesus as the Lion of Judah
✅ The baptism of the Holy Ghost and fire
✅ Boldness in proclaiming the Gospel
✅ Authority over the enemy
✅ A mindset of dominion and victory
✅ Unstoppable prayer, fasting, and warfare
✅ Demonstration of signs, wonders, and miracles

The Lamb and the Lion are not in contradiction—they are the two sides of the same Kingdom identity. The Church must be meek yet bold, gentle yet fearless, submitted yet ruling.

Are you ready to roar?


To transform the Lamb Church into a Lion Church, we must follow a strategic and biblical process that shifts the Church from passivity to power, from meekness to boldness, and from submission to dominion. Below is a step-by-step guide on how to make this transformation happen, backed by full KJV scripture references.

1. RECOGNIZE THE TRUE IDENTITY OF THE CHURCH

The Church must first understand its divine identity in Christ—not just as sheep, but as warriors, kings, and conquerors.

  • Revelation 5:10 – "And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth."
  • Romans 8:37 – "Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us."

✅ HOW?

  • Teach Kingdom identity—the Church is not weak, but called to rule and reign with Christ.
  • Renew the mind of believers to think like kings and priests, not slaves.

2. RECEIVE THE FIRE OF THE HOLY GHOST

The Church cannot become a Lion Church without Pentecostal fire. The early Church was weak until the Holy Ghost came.

  • Acts 1:8 – "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me."
  • Luke 3:16 – "He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire."

✅ HOW?

  • Train believers to speak the Word boldly and to stand firm in persecution.
  • Lead street evangelism, healing crusades, and prophetic declarations.

A Lion Church does not just defend—it attacks the gates of hell.

  • Matthew 16:18 – "Upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."
  • Ephesians 6:12 – "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers."

✅ HOW?

  • Train intercessors to war in the spirit through fasting and prayer.
  • Establish prayer watches to confront demonic strongholds over families, cities, and nations.
  • Cast out demons and take dominion over spiritual darkness.

5. WALK IN MIRACLES, SIGNS, AND WONDERS

A Lion Church does not only preach—it demonstrates the power of God.

  • Mark 16:17-18 – "And these signs shall follow them that believe."
  • 1 Corinthians 2:4 – "And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power."

✅ HOW?

  • Activate healing ministries, deliverance ministries, and prophetic movements.
  • Teach believers to pray for the sick, prophesy, and perform miracles.

6. RAISE WARRIOR DISCIPLES, NOT WEAK CHRISTIANS

The Lion Church trains believers to be soldiers of Christ, not passive spectators.

  • 2 Timothy 2:3-4 – "Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ."
  • Luke 10:19 – "Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions."

✅ HOW?

  • Start discipleship programs that train believers to be warriors, not just churchgoers.
  • Teach spiritual disciplines like fasting, intercession, evangelism, and prophetic authority.

7. DECLARE THE KINGDOM OF GOD WITH AUTHORITY

A Lion Church roars the Gospel with power, shaking nations.

  • Matthew 11:12 – "The kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force."
  • Luke 4:32 – "And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power."

✅ HOW?

  • Preach with prophetic authority—not just information, but transformation.
  • Declare the Kingdom of God in every sphere of society (government, media, education, business).

8. ESTABLISH A CULTURE OF PRAYER AND INTERCESSION

A Lion Church is a praying Church.

  • James 5:16 – "The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much."
  • Acts 4:31 – "And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together."

✅ HOW?

  • Hold daily or weekly corporate prayer meetings.
  • Train believers to pray aggressively, prophetically, and strategically.

9. TAKE TERRITORY AND TRANSFORM SOCIETY

A Lion Church does not hide in buildings—it takes over cities and nations.

  • Psalms 2:8 – "Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession."
  • Revelation 11:15 – "The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ."

✅ HOW?

  • Engage in city-wide revival movements and nationwide evangelism.
  • Establish Christian influence in politics, education, and media.

10. PREPARE FOR CHRIST’S SECOND COMING

A Lion Church roars in preparation for the return of Jesus.

  • Revelation 19:11 – "And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war."
  • Matthew 24:14 – "And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come."
