It simply means that you have been
called, chosen and appointed with one of the five –fold calling, given to the
church for the perfecting of the Saints. Ephesians 4:11-12
It is most important, for believers,
not to get carried away with the Title of the gifting, that was given by the
Lord Jesus. Since too many times a lot of believers do get very carried away
with the gifting, and runs ahead of their gifting. One of the most evident
characteristics of the Apostolic Anointing is that of HUMILITY. No true
apostle of God is ever proud, He or She is one of the most humble and teachable
person you will ever come in contact with. An apostle is always open and subject
to the Holy Spirit, and also subject to True Servants of the Lord, which include
Pastors, Teachers, Missionaries and Prophets.
The calling and gifting of the Apostle
has been mis-interpreted within the body of Christ for many years. Many think
that this calling and anointing no longer exist in present day, but I beg to
differ, this anointing is evident and very present today. This member of the
five-fold ministry is definitely needed together with the Prophetic in the body
of Christ now, more than ever. We must always remember at all times, that this
calling and gifting was given for the edifying of the Church, and not for
personal fame and glory.
The Apostolic is a very stern,
teaching, correcting, rebuking and disciplining, type of anointing, but it’s all
done in Love. Their main purpose is to bring back spiritual Order and Structure
to the Body of Christ, to such a measure, as to cause the Body to Become
beautiful, that when the world looks at the Church, they see an institution that
is Disciplined, Ordered, Beautiful and Perfect, i.e. The Bride of Christ. This
does not mean that the Apostle does not have the Love of God, but rather,
because He or She is so passionate about the things of God, and so loves the
Lord, and God’s People, that’s the reason they flow and operate the way they
have been gifted to. Many misinterpret the anointing and gifting.
I want to thank God for present day
apostles, and I thank God for calling me with that anointing upon my life, I
glory not in the Title, but rather in the God that called me, that is my Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ. I see myself as a Humble servant of the Lord
Jesus.
I pray that the Body of Christ will
one day be that Perfect Bride, without spot and wrinkle, so that when the
Bridegroom (Jesus Christ) comes, He will accept his bride the Church.
Faithfully
Humble Servant of the Lord Jesus
