Chris.
God
raised up His Servants in the Old Testament: Priests, Prophets and Kings and He
was Glorified through them. In the days of the Gospels God raised up the
Disciples to be serving together with Jesus, heralding the coming New Testament
Church. From the Book of Acts until today we have the New Testament Church, in
the Church worldwide there have been and are: Prophets, Apostles, Pastors,
Evangelists and Teachers. All these are not self-appointed (self appointed
ministers are frauds) but they are raised up by God and acknowledged by the
Local, Regional and National Church as being so.
