Know your Calling
Ps. Alfred Ee
Text: Matt 14:15-21; 15:32-39 & Rom 12:3-8
Eph 4:7-16 Everyone of us are called into the Ministry, not only the 5 fold Ministry. Let each one function within their gifts / calling.
Three Meaning Grace:
1. Salvation Grace / Unmerited favour – Saving grace of God
2. Dynamic power of God – Don’t operate in your own strength. Be strong in the Lord and not in your own ability.
3. Grace as gifts and ministry (Eph 3:1-3,8)
Because of God’s Grace we go to heaven; because of God’s mercy we don’t go to hell.
Five Fold Ministry (Eph 4:11-16)
1. Apostles
2. Prophets
3. Evangelists
4. Pastors
5. Teachers
Function:
i. Equipping of the saints for the work of ministry
ii. Edifying of the body of Christ
iii. Unity of the faith, Knowledge of the Son of God
The Seven Fold Ministry (Rom 12:3, 6-8)
1. Prophesying
2. Serving /Ushering
3. Teaching
4. Encouragement / Exhorting
5. Giving with Liberality
6. Leading / Leadership
7. Gift of Mercy
So know your calling / gifting. If you are not in the Five Fold Ministry, then through the grace given to us, serve through the seven fold ministry according to Roman 12:6-8
