Ephesians 4:8,11-13
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:
13 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:
An Apostle
is one who brings new light
to his generation.It may be old revelation,
but it is new to the generation to whom he speaks.
A Prophet
is one who speaks for God to God's people.
he is not an evangelist; he works within the body of believers.
A prophet is a man who speaks to God's people
to get them back to God's Word
and back to the fellowship which the Father ordained.
An Evangelist
evangelist is one who wins the lost, the unsaved, to Christ
by teaching them the new birth and seeing them born-again.
A Pastor
is one who cares for the individual needs within the Church. He cares for the flock.
A Teacher expounds the accuracy of God's wonderful matchless Word to the believers.
Ephesians 6:18-19
Praying always with all prayer
and supplication in the Spirit,
and watching thereunto with all perseverance
and supplication for all saints;
19 And for me,
that utterance may be given unto me,
that I may open my mouth boldly,
to make known the mystery of the gospel,
1 Timothy 2:1-3
I exhort therefore, that, first of all,
prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks,
be made for all men;
2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life
in all godliness and honesty.
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
