Gifts With Purpose

1/5/2020

​Scriptures:
Ephesians 4:11
John 14:12
 
         (Perfection, Ministry, Edification)

Apostle Lewis Fisher Jr began with the title”Gifts with Purpose” (Perfection, Ministry, Edification). Apostle gave us the definition of perfecting, “ the Greek implies correcting all that is deficient, instructing, and completing in number and all parts. Jesus is at the right hand of God When we make mistakes, His desire is that we not die.  He wants us all to come to the knowledge of who His Son really is.  Apostle jotted down and read in our hearing what God had spoken into his spirit.  He said, “out of his love and concern for those who would one day accept him as savior,  He gave gifts to help them be and do just as He is and have done.”  John 14:12 says it this way, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.”

God gave us gifts with purpose.  We know these gifts as the five-fold ministry. The concept of the five-fold ministry comes from Ephesians 4:11, "It was Jesus who gave some to be (1) apostles, some to be (2) prophets, some to be (3) evangelists, and some to be (4) pastors and (5) teachers.". Ephesians 4:12-13 tells us that the purpose of the five-fold ministry is, "to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ." So, since the body of Christ definitely is not built up to unity in the faith and has not attained to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ, the offices of apostle and prophet must still be in effect.
 
Apostle asked the question, “Who is supposed to be doing the work of the ministry?  The saints are supposed to be doing the work of the ministry.  The saints are to be taught the way to carry out the ministry.
