Five-Fold Ministry

Ephesians 4:11-12

King James Version (KJV)

 ¹¹And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

 ¹²For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

We were given the five-fold ministry to help believers and non-believers develop a closer relationship with Christ, guide us through along our walk and inform us of what we need to know to live a righteous life.

Some may argue that they don’t need to go to church or need the guidance of a pastor or teacher…However if you did not need any of those things, why would God waste His time and people on a frivolous idea??

If we were all meant to do alone-we would not need our parents, school teachers, or even laws because we would already have everything we need to know.

The Jesus wants us to be amongst fellow members of the body, to strengthen our faith, learn from others and to come together with great power and combined authority to do miraculous things in our community and in the world!

I always think about what Pastor Drew Harris says to those who say that they do not know if they need to be in a church or feel like they need to be at a particular church, he says regardless of where you are your mail is being delivered to your address. This means that whatever God has for you to hear and learn from is being delivered at the church that you are supposed to be at.
