THE RESPONSIBITES OF MINISTERS:

 THE PURPOSE AND ASSIGNMENT OF THE FIVE-FOLD MINISTRY:

The Lord mandates me to cultivate, enlighten, and empower Jesus Christ's nations and daughters in His love and grace. Please know this: I am not in the work of ministry to beg for money, but I do need financial supporters. I am in Christ's work and ministry to hear Jesus Christ say, "Well done, good and faithful minister;" this is the everlasting reward we are expecting to hear and receive. Glory to God in Jesus Christ.

( JUST THINK! ).

The God called ordained of the five-fold ministry comes from Ephesians 4:11, "It was He who gave some to be (1) Apostles, some to be (2) Prophets, some to be (3) Evangelists, and some to be (4) Pastors and (5) Teachers." My studies, as a result of this verse, I believe God has the offices of Apostles and Prophets in the Church today. ( Ephesians 4:12-13 ). However, ( Ephesians 2:20 ) informs us that the Church is "built on the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as The Chief Cornerstone."  The Apostles and Prophets were and are the foundation of the Church, and we are still building His Churches Up today. Most profoundly, Jesus Christ is most definitely active in the Church today. His role as The Cornerstone of the Church was completed with His death, burial, resurrection, and ascension.  The work of The Cornerstone is, in that sense, complete, so must the work of the Five-fold Ministry, whose work must go on and be completed until we all come into the unity of the faith, all nations, tongues, and believers into one new creation, one new man. What is the role of the Fivefold Ministry? It is to proclaim God’s revelation, to teach the new truth that the Church would need to grow and thrive IN CHRIST'S NEW COVENANT TESTAMENT LOVE, GRACE, AND TRUTH. The fivefold ministry has not completed its mission. Why? By giving us the Word of God. The Word of God is the completed revelation of God. The Bible contains everything the Church needs to know to grow, thrive, and fulfill God’s purpose ( 2 Timothy 3:15-17 ),

A minister is, literally, a “servant,” but the word has taken on a broader meaning in religious circles. Today, a Christian minister is seen as someone authorized to conduct religious services. A person who leads worship services, administers a Church, or conducts weddings and funerals is considered a Christ Believing Minister. 

In the Bible, the role of minister is not linked to licensing or being an “official” wielding some kind of authority. In ( Romans 15:16 ) Apostle Paul says that he was called to be “a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles. God gave me the priestly duty of proclaiming the gospel of God, so that the Gentiles might become an offering acceptable to God, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.” Following in Apostle Paul’s footsteps, any person who desires to serve God by “proclaiming the gospel so that . . . others might become sanctified by the Holy Spirit” is a Jesus Royal Believer Way Saint Minister. Broadly speaking, being a servant of Jesus Christ makes one a Christ Minister.

Individual Churches can define more specific roles for that Church’s ministers or God's other ministry gifts. Although Scripture indicates that the spiritual authority of a local body should be a man ( 1 Timothy 2:12 ), other ministering roles are available to both men and women. In most non-religious Catholic churches, the Jesus Christ Minister is responsible for the majority of the preaching and for overseeing Church government. In the New Testament, such men are referred to as “Bishops, Overseers,” “Elders,” or “Shepherds” ( Acts 20:28 ) ; ( Titus 1:7; ) (1 Timothy 3:1–2 ). These terms are referencing “ministers” in an official capacity—those having been called by God to lead a Church. God Himself places many ministry gifts in His Churches, and all of them must be honored, respected, and financially supported.

There are strict guidelines for those aspiring to the office of Overseer. An Elder or Minister must be “blameless, faithful to his one wife, a man whose children believe and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient . . . not overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest gain. Rather, he must be hospitable, one who loves what is good, who is self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined. He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it.” ( Titus 1:6–9 )

First Timothy 3:1–7 adds that the role of Overseer is “a noble task.” Also, a minister should not be a recent convert and must “have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he or she will not fall into disgrace and into the devil’s trap.”

Even in the first-century Church, some infiltrated the Church, posing as ministers but motivated only by greed and lust ( 2 Peter 2:1–2, 19 ) ; ( Matthew 7:15 ) ; ( Acts 20:29 ). Not everyone who calls himself or herself a Christian minister is worthy of that title. God takes such impostors seriously ( Jude 1:12–13 ). A true Jesus Royal Believer Way Saint Minister is someone gifted by God for Church leadership ( 1 Corinthians 12:28–29 ). He has been ordained by a like-minded governing body ( Acts 6:6; 13:3 ) ; ( 2 Timothy 1:6 ), and he or she lives in accordance with the Scriptures defining his role. Let The Lord Jesus Christ say Amen.
