‘The Lord
Himself Has Given.’
Ephesians
4:11-12.
a)
These Ministers are a
Gift to the Church from God and should function as such:-
1-
Apostles.
2-
Prophets.
3-
Evangelists.
4-
Pastors.
5-
Teachers.
b)
They are to equip the
Saints.
c)
They are to do the
work of the Ministry.
d)
They are to build up
the Body of Christ.
(This QT causes me to respect who The Lord Himself Has Given
and to Pray for their Function and Ministry)
‘Get Rid Of The Little Foxes.’
Song Of Solomon 2:15.
a)
We need to take out
the little foxes from:-
1-
Our lives.
2-
Our families.
3-
Our Churches.
b)
These foxes are “little”
but they turn into ravenous wolves if we do not get rid of them.
c)
They spoil the vines.
(Our lives)
d)
They spoil the tender
grapes. (Our fruitfulness)
(This Second
one calls me to Get Rid Of The Little Foxes)

Evangelists in the New
Testament term are those people whose particular Ministry is to Preach the
Gospel to the un-churched people. The term evangelist is sometimes abused to
mean other things. Junior Pastors are sometimes called Evangelists. This actually
degrades the term and the Ministry. Evangelists function well outside of Church
rather than in it. The fruit of their Ministry they direct into the Church.
