The fivefold ministry is here to help us. The Bible says, And He Himself gave some to be (1) apostles, some (2) prophets, some (3) evangelists, and some (4) pastors and (5) teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry. (Ephesians 4:11-12). The enemy wants you to think you are no one special, you’re not important, but the Holy Spirit will talk to you just as much as he talks to me.
You Might Say, “But I’m Not You, Pastor.”
The Bible says we are all the body of Christ, and we are members in particular (1 Corinthians 12:27). Much like everywhere I go, my little toe gets to go as well because it is a part of the body, even though it is a member in particular. It benefits as the body benefits.
The Blessing Is Yours
The Holy Spirit will tell you what to buy and when to sell. He will tell you to slow down because there is an accident over the hill. When you submit yourself to the fivefold ministry, and you’re learning and growing, you might feel little, but God blesses the whole body.
Let Me Tell You About Yourself
You are an overcoming child of God (Romans 8:37). You are blessed by God (Deuteronomy 2:7). You are here on assignment from God (John 15:16) for such a time as this to reach the world and to walk in double (Isaiah 61:7). You are blessed coming in and going out (Deuteronomy 28:6) and everything your hand touches turns to good (Deuteronomy 28:8). God will meet all of your needs according to his riches and glory by Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19). You’re here today to say he that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide in the shadow of the Almighty (Psalm 91:1). I will say of the Lord; he is my refuge and in him I will trust (Psalm 91:2). You grow in the Lord and in favor. I call you blessed. Amen!
