Daily Devotional . 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: Ephesians 4:11-13. The purpose of the 5 fold ministry is to get the Word, the Gospel, out to the masses, the people, saved, and unsaved, alike. They have the responsibility to minister the Pure Word of the Lord. Some do, some don’t. What the Word does once it reaches someone’s ears, that’s up to them and the Holy Spirit. Then the sheep get together to Fellowship with one another and talk over what they have heard of the Word. They compare notes, get the Mind of Christ and slowly come to the Understanding that Christ intended for them to come to. If you have a Heart For Christ, the Gospel will Bless you. If you don’t have a Heart for Christ, the Gospel will Convict you, and Satan will condemn you. Either way, The Word Will stand next to you on Judgment Day to either testify FOR you, or AGAINST you. As you’ve seen, the Word is ministered in many ways. With conviction, with condemnation, with Love, with legalism, and all kinds of ways in between. MORNINGTIME is desperately trying to Passionately Preach Righteousness, Holiness, and Purity, to Encourage one to Grow towards CHRISTLIKENESS, and to Be Washed In The Word that you will be without spot, blemish, or wrinkle when you meet Christ. It’s all a Work of the Holy Spirit so after the Word is ministered, it’s all in the Lord’s Hands. There is a HOLINESS out there we have not yet seen. But it’s there. Seek it out, and, Be Blessed.
