PREFACE SUMMARY

In this message, you will learn about the incredible power of spiritual gifts and the five-fold ministry. These gifts can help you to achieve your highest potential on your spiritual journey and fulfill your true calling. By unlocking the transformative power of these gifts, you can experience incredible growth and transformation.

Dear readers, we live in an age where the fivefold ministry is not well accepted in the church. This is mainly due to how the offices have been abused by self-seeking individuals who lack maturity in how the gifts work.

Those who seek recognition from others will end up practicing witchcraft, which is listed as one of the works of the flesh in Galatians 5:20. Self-centered ambition is unsustainable. Those whom the Lord indeed calls to build His kingdom will be tried to the very faith they stand on.

The main objective of the Fivefold Ministry is to prepare and equip the believers for their ministry work, as stated in Ephesians 4:12. This preparation and equipping process helps every congregation member to use their unique talents and gifts to advance the Kingdom of God, and if the church is to accomplish its last-day assignment, which will usher in the return of our Lord, the prophetic ministry must be in place. It is composed of specially called and anointed warriors of God who are accurate and trustworthy in their assigned roles in the fivefold ministry.

It's important to note that people in foreign lands are disappointed in those who lack integrity. However, they will follow the God in you, but you must not waver, for they do not trust man's ways.

As we approach the end of this era, and given the chaos in the world, such as wars, unrest, and natural disasters, it is essential to seek spiritual guidance from above.

The five-fold ministry aims to equip individuals to serve God, which, in turn, helps strengthen the body of Christ and promote unity in faith, knowledge of the Son of God, and spiritual growth. As the body of Christ has not yet reached its full potential, the roles of apostles and prophets continue to be necessary.

Recognizing and embracing the Five-Fold Ministry is crucial to achieving spiritual growth. The five-fold ministry refers to the five specific roles that Christ gave to the church: apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers. Each of these roles has unique gifts and abilities that can help us strengthen our faith and overcome any challenges that come our way.

Whether we need guidance, healing, or a deeper connection with God, the five-fold ministry can support and inspire us to reach our full potential. Through their teachings and leadership, we can experience the transformative power of God's love in our lives. Therefore, it is essential to recognize and embrace the five-fold ministry to tap into their gifts and abilities and experience spiritual growth.
