Discover the 5-fold Ministry Gifts - You are His Building
Jesus transferred His authority to earth when He sat down after He ascended to heaven. He did this through what we call the headship ministries of Christ. 5 gifts of authority and power to bring His living body to earth through His church. Called "His fullness", we "His building" are designed to bring all saints to the full measure of the stature of Christ. That means through the 5-fold ministries, all saints are edified and equipped for full-time ministry. How will this happen? Eph. 4 says, "When we each receive the gift given to us". We are actually called three things: 1. His bride for intimacy; 2. His body for functionality; and 3. His building for structure. The cornerstone of the building is Christ Himself. The foundation is the apostles and prophets. The walls are the teachers of the apostle's doctrine. The roof is the pastor who oversees and protects the saints. And the evangelist, the one who outside and building, gathers new saints into the building! Simply, the apostles Govern, the prophets Guide, the pastors Guard, the evangelists Gather and the teachers Ground. This living building is built with "living stones". I Peter 2:5 "You also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house..." Have you found your way into this awesome building?
