The Apostle
All apostles can operate in the 5 areas of the 5 fold ministry. They are the “sent ones on a mission” to minister the gospel. Represented by the thumb. They initiate and help with restructuring of the church, setting things in order, correcting issues, grooming and developing leaders in the same way Jesus and Paul did. Did you know Jesus was also an Apostle? See Hebrews 3:1. He was the first and still is. He is the foundation of the earth. The original seed that brought forth all other ministries.
Seed of a woman
Christ was first introduced in Genesis 2:15 as the Seed that will crush the serpents head. Though His body/flesh (Jesus) was brought by a woman, the woman did not legitimately produced or impregnated herself. She is not a seed. The Holy Spirit sent from God, is the source
The scripture states, “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.” The word “enmity” here referee to perpetual opposition or enemy against. The seed of Satan, the enemy, will never be the same nor friends with the seed brought by the woman, Christ Jesus. In other words, darkness and light will never be one and light will forever prevail over darkness. The fruits of the seed of Satan are evil and therefore are in opposition to what God requires. That is, good fruits from the seed of light, God Himself seen in Christ as the word becomes flesh.
God describes my Apostle as the one with the seed of the fold ministry. Out of him will birth other apostles, pastors, teachers, prophets/prophetesses and evangelists. That’s why they are call fathers or source of the ministry. A woman doesn’t carry seeds nor is she source hence why an Apostle always has to be a male.
The Prophet and Prophetess
The ability to give an accurate prophesy based on a word God gave you doesn’t mean you’re a prophet or prophetess working in the office of a prophet/prophetess. A prophet isn’t a prophetess neither is the reverse true. A prophet is the head of a Prophetess when it comes on to leadership. He/she who works in this office hears from God before giving a word. This person points to that which is to come, represented by the index finger within the 5 fold ministry. The word may be a warning, giving of direction of ministry/ministries, correction from he throne to coeonea sign or prophetic word to come to pass. It is consistent and accurate. Always.
The Evangelist
An evangelist packages the word in smaller, simply understood ways and brings it to the people. The evangelist was given to the church that the church may be edified and become evangelical, which aids the members to evangelize on a wider scale. Equip your church with evangelical strategies you evangelists. This makes ministry manageable and a bit easier on the evangelist operating in such office. The word of God will be distributed on a wider scale. An evangelist will teach the saints how to evangelize and win souls for the Kingdom of God. If you are an evangelist, you may want to consider these things before rushing off into the world alone having not done your work in the body of Christ first. Dance a yard before yuh dance a broad. Learn the word before you go to the world for questions you will have to answer and revelations you may have to explain that they who ask may understand. One must become equiped at their home base church, go as instructed by the Lord because not all are needed to go out to the public. When one goes, he/she must go out with power to demonstrate the kingdom of God operating in the earth, not just words.
The Pastor …and eldership
A Pastor is married to the word, preaches and edifies the congregation, also operates as an elder (mature in the word and able to give guidance where necessary).
All persons operating in the 5 fold ministry are considered elders because they are spiritually mature. Not that others who are grounded and spiritually mature can’t be an elder. An elder reports to the Apostle and others within the leadership circle assigned/structured by God through the Apostle. He will make mention of issues within the church, among members and so on.
The Teacher
The teacher is able to get into the crevasses and corners of the word if it was a maize. He or she is able to explain and expound on the word very well that one may understand it. They are patient and simplify the word by way of metaphors, similes and analogies. A true messenger gives the message as received. Which means that the teacher does not change the word of God though made simple for students to understand or grasp. This applies to everyone in the 5 fold ministry and those in the body of Christ overall.
As I come to a close on this post, seek to walk in alignment with the ministry you are placed and comply with those who are set above you to lead. Have a wonderful week. 😇❤️
