It means the church participating in the ‘mission of God (Missio Dei)’ and seeking the restoration of God’s rule and glory throughout the whole earth. Mission is not a program that begins with human enthusiasm; rather, it is the heart of God that runs throughout the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, and is a fundamental reason for the church’s existence.

Because of false pastors
...
Because of false pastors, the
hearts of true ministers are troubled.
The
actions of false pastors are wicked,

False
pastors are those who preach a false gospel to us,
causing
us to be led away from the Lord.

They
have not been sent by the Lord, yet they are spreading a false gospel
in
the name of our Lord Jesus Christ
(Ref.:
Jeremiah 27:10, 14-15).
The false pastors are
preaching a "restoration" without repentance.

by the false pastors or fortune tellers among us.
We
must not be deceived by the false pastors or fortune tellers among us,
nor
should we listen to the stories of dreams they have fabricated.
The
reason is that they have not been sent by God,
yet
they come to us and make false sermons or false prophecies in the name of Jesus
(Ref.:
Jeremiah 29:8-9).
