!(TEXT : 1 Corinthians 12:28)
And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
FOCUS :
As believers in the house of God, we all have responsibility that we are called into and that we must stand to fulfill it. Your area of calling, should not be obstructing other believers in the Church. The ground “foundation” is enough for everyone to explore without subjugating on each other. In the house of God, my assignment is not your assignment, neither should we be fighting over an office in the house of God. There should be no division amongst the believers, because the work attached to our assignment should be enough to keep us busy for the rest of our journey.
In addition, whether you are an apostle, prophet or teacher; God has found you worthy of appointing you for the responsibility. But it is one thing that God appoints you into any of the office, however, it is completely up to you to make use of the office given to you. But one thing is certain, if you do not make use of the office given to you with “charity and kindness;” God can unmake and you will become useless of the office. Any of the office required you showing “sympathy and empathy” to those who are deliberately placed under you or who are following you (genuinely).
Finally, the office which you are called to serve, it is a “responsibility and it is only for temporary.” The responsibility means, you being responsible and always be available to “respond to the questions of the people under you and those who are assigned to your office and you are not to ignore them.” As an apostle, your duty post is to pray and fast for the weaks and the lost souls, preach the gospel to the lost souls and win them into the Kingdom of God, feed them with both physical and spiritual foods, make them abide in the Word, and encourage them from time to time; “even though you are going through tough times yourself.” As a prophet, your duty post is to become the mouthpiece of God to His people and to become their seer. And as a teacher, you automatically becomes the teacher of God’s Word, applying the principle in the Word of God, guide your followers to read the Word, study the Word, and meditate on the Word of God until they are “approved by God.”
1 Thessalonians 4:11
And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;
1 Peter 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
2 Timothy 2:15
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
BE SAFE AND GET SAVED!
God bless you richly!
Jesus Christ loves you
Thank you Holy Spirit
ARE YOU SAVED?
