I want you to know that God is progressive in His divine plans and purposes. A major reason why many believers have lost their first love for God is because they have became complacent in their spiritual journey. One of the reasons why they became complacent is because they have stopped learning and growing spiritually. This can happen if believers camp around the same set of doctrines for far too long and are comfortable within the four walls of their local church. Satan has cleverly engineered their isolation from the rest of the corporate Body of Christ.

Instead of believers learning from believers in other christian churches, they want to remain isolated and continue to remain in their cages. This is how Satan keeps the various denominations bound. As long as the Body of Christ is isolated, it has no power to influence its community and the nation. We must remember that the fivefold ministers were created to operate collectively NOT in isolation of each other. Fivefold ministries were raised by God to speak into every church. A church should NOT be bound to one minister but must be open to the possibility of other fivefold ministers coming in to minister to the sheep.

When a church is exposed to various fivefold ministries coming in to build the Church (not the building but the sons of God), the sheep will be updated and upgraded in spiritual stature to know the current divine plans and purposes of God as they should. However, before a church can embrace the idea of introducing various fivefold ministries, it needs to ensure that it comes under an apostolic covering. God raises apostles in the last days to provide spiritual oversight and spiritual covering to churches.

Authentic apostles don’t come to churches to derive the sheep or its pastoral leaders/elders rather they come to build into the churches. They come to provide wisdom into how God would want the church to be build. In the administration of God in the House of God, apostles come first, then prophets, teachers, gifts of healings, miracles, etc. 1 Corinthians 12. To come “first” does not mean that apostles are higher in rank or more important than the other fivefold ministries rather it simply means that God has a way of building His corporate Church globally and that is INITIALLY done through the ministry work of an authentic patriarchal apostle.
