The gifts onto offices (Part 1 & 2)
A word of Knowledge
On the gifts onto offices (Part 1)
Ephesians 4:8,11-12 KJV
Wherefore He saith,
When He ascended up on high, He led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
[11] And He gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
[12] For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
The offices of the Church, the body of Christ are gifts onto men by Christ.
It is the anointing of men with power to function as an apostle, a prophet, an evangelist, a pastor or a teacher.
Brethrens, our modern churches have got it all wrong.
We have mistakenly modelled the church after the ways of the world instead of after the Word.
We have modelled these offices as leaders of men instead of servants of men and God, not that much of a difference from the institutions and enterprises of the world.
Brethrens, we have got it all wrong.
We ordained these men into their offices not by the discernment of the gifts that our Lord gave onto them but by their education, by their institutional training and by other carnal ways of men that are not of God.
Brethrens, we have got it real wrong.
Pastors are not teachers.
Pastors are not evangelists.
Pastors are not prophets.
Pastors are not apostles.
Pastors have their own set of supernatural gifts to shepherd the Body of Christ and will not do well to cross into the other offices.
We need to stop putting the whole Body onto the shoulders of pastors.
Each office has their own set of gifts.
The gifts are not the natural talents that we are born with but are supernatural gifts to walk in the power of God.
Each office's gift is made up of a relevant mix as well as in different degrees of manifestation or portions of the 9 gifts of the Holy Spirit in 1 Corinthians 12:7-11;
1) word of wisdom,
2) word of knowledge,
3) faith,
4) gifts of healing,
5) working of miracles,
6) prophecy,
7) discerning of spirits,
8) divers kinds of tongues,
9) interpretation of tongues.
These 9 gifts will work together differently in a particular office,
[12] For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
Now, brethrens, before we could see a restoration of the different offices in the Body of Christ as One Body, just like the early church,
We need to be already walking in the 9 gifts of the Holy Spirit.
And before we are able to see the manifestation of the 9 gifts of the Holy Spirit in which He divides to every man severally as He will,
We need to be first and foremost, to have received the gift of the Holy Spirit,
which is the promise of the Father,
which is the Baptism with the Holy Spirit;
Every men in the Body.
Acts 19:2 KJV
Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed?
No?
Ask the Father earnestly by faith and in hunger and in the manner of little children in the Name of Jesus Christ,
and believing that you have receive it and you shall have it.
Luke 11:13 KJV
If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him?
Mark 11:24 KJV
Therefore I say unto you,
What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
Ephesians 4:8,11-12 KJV
Wherefore He saith,
When He ascended up on high, He led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
[11] And He gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
[12] For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
1 Corinthians 12:7-11;
1) word of wisdom,
2) word of knowledge,
3) faith,
4) gifts of healing,
5) working of miracles,
6) prophecy,
7) discerning of spirits,
8) divers kinds of tongues,
9) interpretation of tongues.
