We
must be under the anointing of God to bring about the ministry of
the 'Kingdom of God' through the church. It must be the anointing
upon us. "It is the anointing that destroys the yoke."
This is one of the purposes of the Apostle's Doctrine. The present
ministry and operation of the Church in this century is the
Apostle's Order and Procedures. The Office of the Apostle is
demanded today for a 'Spiritual House' in the New Testament
Church. The Spiritual House of the Church demands the anointing
upon us operating in our spiritual minds, with spiritual offices
of ministry and gifts. The 'anointing' is from God. The Kingdom of
God is an anointed, spiritual kingdom. It is God's ruled (His
Word, what God says, establishes, confirms, orders, provides,
instructs, etc.). Again, we come to order. The effectiveness of
Jesus' ministry demands the Order of the Five Fold Ministry in the
New Testament Church: 1. Christ as the Apostle in the Church
(Hebrews 3:1) 2. Christ as the Prophet (John 4:19) 3. Christ as
the Evangelist (Luke 4:8) 4. Christ as the Pastor (John 10:11) 5.
Christ as Teacher (John 3:2) Christ in us demands that the
ministry of the church is found in Him. John 1:14,16 declares
"and the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld
His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of
grace and truth. For of His fullness we have all received and
grace upon grace." Christ is the Founder of the church and
laid the pattern for us to follow. Thus, we are governed by
Christ's order discipline and structure of His Church.

The
Five Ministries:
How can we function alone as a member
and leadership in the body of the church when each
member of the church is by the very ministry of the
church dependent on each other and totally dependent
upon our Lord as the head? In a real sense, there is no
independent church member or leadership in the body of
the church. The realization is that we are "a
dependent member body church and a dependent member body
in Christ's ministries to the world" depending upon
each other. In this book, we will begin to discuss the
spiritual gifts of the church operating in associating
with each other. These gifts must be functioning in the
body for the church to be growing and healthy
spiritually. It must also be functioning for the
holiness and approval of the Lord upon His work of
ministry, He has established in us. It is important for
us to realized that as we look at the church's growth
physically, business or in natural way in the world,
this does not always indicate spiritual growth. Man's so
called natural abilities are not always given to God to
be used in His anointing.
