The Five Ministry Offices 5-23-25

I wrote about the church and how many of them do not accept certain gifts today. If anyone does  not accept everything that is in the Word of God, they are in error or can mean that some are cults. Who has the right to say some gifts are not functional in the church today, and they were foundational only? The devil is a liar!

Betty -Fold means being folded together and they are all one of the same fold (to enclose; wrap).

Jesus  gave  And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers,  for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, 

till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;  that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men,

in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting,  but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ—  from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love (Ephesians 4:11-16).

The devil does not want the children of God to grow spiritually because the more mature one is the more he or she can damage Satan’s kingdom. And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force (Matthew 11:12).

This also means there has to be some spiritual training which equals effectiveness. So, where doe this training come from along with the Spirit of God’s guidance and empowerment? It comes from the gifts (God’s people are the gifts) given to the church to grow the children of God into maturity. Do you think the pastor can do all of that alone? Of Course not! So you will know, the deacons serve under the five ministry offices.

The church must be in line with how God designed it to be in order to have good spiritual success. There must be order in God’s house; He is not the Author of confusion, so who is? The devil!

How are we going to come into unity when the devil is allowed to divide us? Church, it is time to get right with God, by obeying Him, rather than some leaders who wants to keep you under their domain.

Please take under consideration what has been posted in the last couple of weeks and check out what was written and see if it lines up with the Word of God.

FYI- the five fold ministry office gifts are the same as bishop elder, and overseer; the office names are interchangeable.

Ps. Does it make sense for me to be evangelist and prophetess and some denominations don’t believe certain gifts are for today? Apparently, others who are apostles, prophets, evangelists, and teachers are aliens! I thought all of God’s children were foreigners in this land- Dear friends, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from sinful desires, which wage war against your soul (1 Peter 2:11).
