God's Purpose for the Fivefold Ministry by Morris Cerullo Pdf
Have you ever wondered about the fivefold ministry, as described in Ephesians 4, and whether or not you have been called to serve in any of those positions? If so, this book will give you detailed information about each of the positions, their purpose, and who should be serving in each position. Some of the topics are: • God's end-time plan for perfecting the saints. • Minstering as a shepherd. • The Church must put an end to sin to restore God's order.
The Five-Fold Ministry Gifts by Clement C. Butler Pdf
Why does the Lord appoint apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers to the church? Ephesians 4:12 says they are bestowed for the perfecting of the saints, the work of the ministry, and to edify the body of Christ. However, these three objectives are best understood in the context of God’s purpose. His purpose provides the “why” for understanding the five-fold ministry gifts or the gifts of Christ. From before the foundation of the world, the Father predetermined spiritual blessings in Christ for all humanity. In essence, His purpose is one of unity. The blessings outlined in Ephesians Chapter 1 says that He chose humanity to be His sons, who would share His very nature and be like Him. In short, the Father’s simply wanted a family born of His nature, who would reflect His character, and on whom He could bestow an eternal inheritance. Therefore, the gifts of Christ exist in accordance with this purpose. Indeed, each gift has individual responsibilities but collectively, they serve to bring the entire body of Christ into maturity—a unified body that manifests the Father’s glory or character. The gifts exist to fulfill the purpose that the Father predetermined from before the foundation of the world. This book discusses all these elements in detail and brings the Father’s purpose for the church into perspective in relation to the gifts.
EPHESIANS 4:11-13 NKJV11 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, 12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, 13 till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.All of the five fold ministers function like coaches - they demonstrate how the work of the ministry is done, so that the saints may be equipped to do the work of the ministry. God's plan is multiplication of His Kingdom. God's foot soldiers are His people. It is God's will that none should perish, not one.The saying is true, "Shepherds don't have sheep; shepherds tend sheep. Sheep have sheep!" The secret to church growth is equipping the saints to do the work of the ministry, carried along, empowered by the Holy Spirit. The secret to building up the body of Christ is an accessible five fold ministry. The key to seeing the body of Christ united in the faith, and in knowledge, and with a maturity approaching that of Jesus Christ, is the operations of the five fold ministry.The five fold ministers are a wonderful blessing and aid to the Body of Christ. Most exponents are genuine. However there are a few who claim to be five fold ministers who are not. The Body of Christ need not be troubled by these impostors. Within these pages you will find such quantities of truth as to have received a vaccination forever against error, at least where these ministries are concerned.My aim in writing this book is to equip the saints with a thorough knowledge of what each of these ministries looks like, and the outcomes they can expect in each case. After reading this book even a new Christian should be able to discern between what is true, and what is false. False apostles, false prophets, false evangelists, false shepherds and false teachers are not numerous, but they do exist. So if I can borrow an argument the apostle Paul uses with respect to the spiritual gifts: God would not have us ignorant.1 CORINTHIANS 13:4-8a,13 RSV4 Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; 5 it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 6 it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. 7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8 Love never ends ... 13 So faith, hope, love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.The word for love used in the King James Version in the above passage is "charity" and on this occasion that translation is helpful. That is to say, when encountering a five fold minister for the first time our attitude should be charitable. We ought to be believing the best, and hoping the best where that ministry is concerned, measuring their output against the Word of God.
As the Church continues the upward climb of dominance and preeminence from the abyss of the "Dark Ages" to its place of pre-determined glory through Jesus Christ, of ruling among the nations, God is manifesting His Plan, as the Holy Spirit releases revelation after revelation of what the Church is destined to be. One such example is the scripture of Ephesians: 4: 11-13."And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ."I have been asked on numerous occasion what is the "5 Fold Ministry? Many have heard of the term but really don't know what it means and they have never asked within their own church exactly what is the "5 Fold Ministry." They state they did not want to embarrass themselves. I usually have two answers for them. First, the only dumb question is the one you do not ask. As with anything else in life, how can one learn if they fail to ask questions? When it comes to your salvation, make sure you get answers. Not just answers but biblical answers. Find out where it is in the bible and then prove to yourself that you have received a biblical answer.

Deeper Revelations Of The Five-Fold Ministry by Apostle Frequency Revelator Pdf
The reason why there is so much confusion in the Church today with regard to the operation of the gifts of the spirit is because the five-fold ministry gifts are not fully operational. It is a typical scenario right across the Body of Christ globally that people who are called to be apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers and evangelists are relegated to the side-lines while those who evidently don't have God's call are the ones holding the reigns. For this reason, the church continues to be plundered by forces of darkness as the masses are trapped into a morass of debilitating poverty, sickness and limitation in progress. In this publication, Apostle Frequency Revelator unveils the divine truth that the solution to a myriad of problems facing the masses across the Body of Christ is to focus on God's call and specific function within the five-fold ministry. When the five-fold ministry is in full operation, each member of the church will enter into their special individual ministry and function to the level where powers and principalities are shattered by the Body of Christ as a collective. It is through the fivefold ministries, that the church will reach the full stature of Jesus Christ and be no longer tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine that comes by. It is important to get a biblical understanding of the origin of the five-fold ministry, so that our churches will be healthy and functioning according to the will and plan of God. In this publication, Apostle Frequency Revelator unveils that every Christian has a special ministry bequeathed upon him although not every Christian may be called to the fivefold ministry. It is therefore, the responsibility of every believers to learn to operate in the gifts of the Holy Spirit as well as function in a particular ministry that God has called them to. Therefore, if you are called into one of the ministries of the five-fold, this book is a delicate recipe right in your hands. It will cause to understand how to function fully and effectively in the Body of Christ. Using the analogy of a human hand to depict the various functions of the five-fold ministry, Apostle Frequency Revelator practically demonstrates how each of the fold-fold ministries operate and relate to each other. Each of these offices illustrates a different aspect of how the Body of Christ operates as a collective. Therefore, this five-fold hand analogy is meant to reinforce your deeper understanding of the components of church governance so that believers across the Body of Christ globally could easily flow and operate in work of ministry.

Restoring the Five-Fold Ministry 2nd Edition by Hartwell Paul Davis Pdf
The church represents the largest organization in the world, covering all nations, all cultures, and millions of members. Church leadership, like leadership in any organizations, is of vital importance. However, the difference is that Jesus's model of leadership and use of power and authority can be different from leadership in the world of business. The differences between the fivefold ministry gifts and the leadership of elders and deacons are often misunderstood, and the changing nature of church leadership from biblical roots has resulted in several forms of maladaptive leadership in the church today, the most common being the rise of the pastoral supremacy syndrome, where the focus on the pastoral gift has effectively destroyed the fivefold ministry intended to be God's leadership design. This books is about leadership""specifically about leadership in God's church.
New Apostolic Reformation? by R. Douglas Geivett,Holly Pivec Pdf
This critique provides a framework for understanding and interpreting the widespread but little-known New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) movement. As the authors state in the preface: "We write this book with two major goals in mind. First, to give people an idea of the sheer size and reach of the NAR movement. And second, to systematize its key teachings and practices and evaluate them on the basis of Scripture and careful reasoning . . In our judgment, the NAR perspective crosses these boundaries [that is, certain broad parameters, revealed in Scripture and practiced in the historical orthodox church], and it does so in part because of flawed theology rooted in a flawed understanding of Scripture. We wish to warn readers about a possible confusion: Some critics have linked the NAR movement with mainstream Pentecostalism and charismatics. We do not do this. In fact, it is our contention that the NAR movement deviates from classical Pentecostal and charismatic teachings. This movement has emerged out of independent charismatic churches and, thus, has gained a foothold in many of those churches in varying degrees."
