These same metrics may be used by any ministry even non-Christian one, to conclude it is "under God's blessing". I am sure the hundreds of Muslims that attend the Mosque every week feel blessed by God. If we think like that then we are being like Job's friends.
Likewise with such external metrics as one church one city, having copyrights to some God-ordained church name, accepting the so-called minister of the age, claims to be the only true testimony, etc.
