HEAR YE, ALL MINISTERS, CHURCHES LEADERS!!!
ALL OF GOD'S MINISTRY GIFTS, THAT HE, PLACED IN HIS CHURCH MUST BE THEIR, AND SERVING HIS BODY THE BELIEVERS.
HisJESUS CHRIST CHOSEN AND ANOINTED AND HOLY SPIRIT FILLED FIVE-FOLD PLUS MINISTRIES!!!
( ALL OF THE LORD'S MINISTRY GIFTS ARE AND TO THE BELIEVERS IN CHRIST, FIRST )
Apostle Winfree James R, Sr. Christ Anointed Servant, Social Media Writer, and Blogger, Bible Teacher, Nations Kingdom Publisher, Loving Spiritual Counselor, Nations Kingdom of God Leader, Faithful Confidant in the Faith of Jesus Christ:
There is no way to entirely alleviate the pressure that Pastors, Bishops, Founders of Ministries face on a daily basis. However, the strain is greatly compounded when the Five-fold ministry gifts are not fully operating in Churches today.
It is not God’s intention or will for Church Leaderships to attempt to equip and build up the body alone. There are no Scriptures that even suggest that one senior shepherd has been given everything necessary to perfect a particular congregation or the body of our Lord God Jesus Christ.
Five-fold ministers are meant to cooperate in their special giftings and abilities and together govern, guide, gather, ground and guard God’s people with the Holy Spirit many other gifts.
God’s Hand of Ministry In The Lord Jesus Christ:
“Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God… “Pastors, Bishops, Founders ( 1 Pet. 5:6 )
When Christ ascended, He took His whole ministry mantle, divided it, and gave it in five parts to men and women. All five are needed to perfect, mature and equip the saints ( They are Not for to serve sinners and the world )“till we all come to the unity of the faith and the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of… the fullness of Christ” ( Eph. 4:13 ). The function of these gifts, also sometimes called equipping or ascension gifts, and how they fit together can better be understood through the analogy of how a physical hand functions.
The Apostle: The Thump
The thumb is not in opposition to or over the fingers, but it is designed to complete the full function and power of the hand. Apostles function in administration and ( together with Prophets ) lay the foundation with proper doctrinal and spiritual structure ( Eph. 2:20 ). Apostles move primarily as the anointing and Holy Spirit leads them, in the gifts of healing, faith, working of miracles, word of wisdom, discerning of spirits, and prophecy.
In today's Churches setting, they would oversee the development and send of apostolic teams for miracle ministries, as well as activating, imparting and demonstrating the apostolic anointing to other bodies of believers. They would participate in going to other regions and nations to establish new churches and help local pastors restore order and unity in existing congregations and set in the place chosen and loving and anointed Elders and Pastors in God's Church and make sure every believer share in the blessings of the ministry.
The Prophet: The Forefinger
The forefinger is often called the pointer finger, the prophet functions in revelation and points the way for Church Leadership. The office of the prophet is different than the gift of prophecy, it carries a governmental authority and role with higher responsibility. The gift of prophecy is for edification, exhortation, and comfort, whereas the Prophet flows in areas of guidance, instruction, rebuke, judgment, and revelation, whatever Christ chooses to speak for the purification and perfection of His Churches Body.
Prophets are also given the special ability to recognize God’s gifts and callings on individuals and can activate people into their ministries. Not everyone who prophesies is a prophet ( just as not everyone who moves in miracles is an Apostle ).
In Churches today, Prophets would oversee the development of qualified prophetic teams to be able to give accurate and timely personal prophetic words, and form prophetic presbyteries, groups of Ministers and Elders who come together for the purpose of ministering prophetically to individuals or a church body.
The Evangelist: The Middle Finger
The middle finger extends the furthest on the hand, it represents the outreach ministry extended to evangelize the world.
An Evangelist in today’s Church would oversee evangelism teams and outreach, and maintain passion and vision for winning the lost sheep first, and then win lost souls to Jesus, in addition to training Prophetic Evangelists.
The Pastor: The Ring Finger
The ring finger is the wedding ring finger, symbolizing the Pastor’s commitment to God's flock. Prophets and evangelists might come and go, but the Pastor is bound to the members of the body of Jesus Christ, His Church family in a shepherding relationship. feeding, serving and sharing with God's chosen people first, before his or her own needs.
Those in the Pastoral department of God's Church would oversee home group leaders and assist the senior pastor in duties such as weddings, funerals, visitations, prayer, counseling, and other ministerial capacities.
The Teacher: The Little Finger
Although it’s the smallest finger, the little finger is essential and provides balance. The teacher grounds the Church in truth through instruction in the principles of the Word of God. Christ Jesus New Testament Covenant Gospel.
The Teaching department today's Churches would oversee the educational and training ministries, including writing and developing curriculum and performing teaching duties to the body of the saints first.
In Conclusion of Apostle Winfree James R. Sr,…
Allow me to say this please out of biblical love, a person does not call or appoint himself or herself to any of the fivefold ministries. It is a gift or call of Christ Himself and, in time, is confirmed by other Kingdom leaders and believers.
Generally, a fivefold minister has one initial primary calling and divine enablement to fully manifest one equipping gift. They may also have a secondary leaning in another fivefold area, and additionally, be called to manifest other five-fold gifts at various times.
Finally, THE HOLY WORD OF GOD will confirm his or her congregation to his/her doctrines, beliefs and methods of ministry, but not into Christ’s fullness. It takes all five ascension gifts working together to accomplish this. Get it Pastors, Founders, and Bishops?
May we, as the Lord Jesus Christ Church, humble ourselves under the mighty hand of God and recognize those He has empowered to His new covenant ministers to represent His Kingdom of heaven here on earth.
We Are Leading One And All, To The One Spirit, One Hope, One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism, One God, Who Is The One Father of us All!!!.
Our God and heavenly Father love cheerful givers, Be One!!!
