Brothers and Sisters,
When Jesus ascended, He took His whole ministry mantle, everything that was within him and he broke it into five pieces.
Jesus divided it and gave it into five parts to men and women.
Christians call these giftings the Five Fold ministry, but in a nutshell, what they really are is five powerful giftings.
You can call them Abilities, Talents, or Specialties it does not matter what you call them. All you need to know is that Jesus spread these giftings throughout the entire body of Christ.
Jesus did this because these giftings are needed to perfect, mature, and equip the saints.
Each one of you has ONE of these giftings.
Let’s go to Ephesians 4:7-13
“However, he has given each one of us a special gift through the generosity of Christ. That is why the Scriptures say, “When he ascended to the heights, he led a crowd of captives and gave gifts to his people.” Notice that it says “he ascended.” This clearly means that Christ also descended to our lowly world. And the same one who descended is the one who ascended higher than all the heavens, so that he might fill the entire universe with himself. Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. Their responsibility is to equip God’s people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ. This will continue until we all come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God’s Son that we will be mature in the Lord, measuring up to the full and complete standard of Christ.”
All five of these gifts are equal in the fact that each one is a member in the Body of Christ and each one is a ministry that is vital to the Church.
Please join us on Thursday evening at 7:30 PM for great worship and a good word called "Five Fold".
