| v.23 The Gift Is Jesus |
Jesus is the apostle. The ministry is the Christ in us, the hope of glory. The gift that He gave is Himself. The office of apostle is not the fleshly man, it is the Christ in the man holding the office. If we can discern the Body of Christ, we can see this. The Anoining of the office is on the office, not the fleshly man. A man cannot take the Office and the Anointing out of its place in the Body of Christ. This is why there can be no chief elder, deacon, apostle, prophet, teacher evangelist, pastor, or any other ministry or office in the Church. This is also why there can be no maverick, independent apostle or group of apostles. The apostles are set for the purpose of the coming together of the Body of Christ.
Let God be true and every man a liar. Apostles are given the responsibility of protecting the entire flock of God from the attack of the enemy, but with so many voices in the world, each one claiming to be the one that should be listened to, how can you know? You are responsible to be close enough to God so that you can tell the difference between false apostles and real apostles. Read the complete
definition of "Apostle."
How can we know anything about anything? That’s the real question |
