Course 112: The Ascension Office Gifts (Five Fold Leadership Gifts) - Lesson #6
What are the specific roles God assigns to His Prophets within and without the Body?
1. Perfection of the Saints for the work of Ministry.
The Prophet is to weigh in with his/her gifts and callings to make the saints mature in Christ and built up in righteousness and obedience to the degree that they can successfully live the Kingdom life here on earth. Ephesians 4: 11-16. When the saints receive the ministry of the Prophet, along with that of the Apostle, Evangelist, Pastor and Teacher, they become mature and are not easily tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine nor are they easily deceived by those whose god is their belly. A saint who is in a ministry or congregation where the Office of the Prophet is ignored or absent is being deprived of a very valuable spiritual facility for perfection! Any Pastor who denies his or her congregation the right to hear the word of the Lord through a chosen and pure vessel is doing a disservice to Christ and will answer for that on the last day. In building the Church according to pattern, it is necessary that every living congregation must make room to receive the Prophet who walks in integrity and who does not hire out his/her services for a named fee. Prophets and other ministers however are to be taken care of properly for the sake of whom they represent, even Jesus Christ Himself! Matthew 10:40-42.
Certain ordinances and principles of God are valid both in the Old and New Testaments. It is thus necessary to reflect on roles of Prophets in the Old Testament and juxtapose them with the provisions of the New Testament in order to get a full picture of what God has in mind in raising people to this High Office. This will also enable those who receive this gracious calling to walk in sobriety and humility.
2. Intimacy with God:
Let us start with Abraham, listed as the first of the Prophets. In Genesis 20:7 we see God Himself calling Abraham by that appellation when He spoke to Abimelech in a dream. Earlier in Genesis 18: 17 - 19, we see God declaring Abraham as a man who had an intimate relationship with Him. A true Prophet cannot function outside of an intimate walk with God. That is a response of choice by one who deems the presence of God of more value that the riches of Egypt! When God was reproving Miriam and Aaron in their rebellion, He pointedly announced the degree of His intimacy with Moses in Numbers 12: 6 - 8 "I speak with him face to face".

Course 112: The Ascension Office Gifts (Five Fold Leadership Gifts) - Lesson #5
Part 2 of the Ascension Gifts/ Fivefold offices: The Prophet
Who is a Prophet?
A prophet is a person elected by God to be a vessel for declaring His mind to the saints and their generation. In effect, Prophets are formal representatives of God to convey His messages.
Is the office for this day and age?
The answer straight away is YES!
Flash-back to the Old Testament
In the Old Testament, Prophets were the predominant vessels through who God revealed His purposes to Israel and the nations for the present and future times. Consequently, they were set apart from their generations in order to be used to speak to them. Sometimes they brought messages of hope and care from God while at other times they declared His warnings and pronounced judgements.
One way God showed His displeasure with His people was to withdraw prophets such that the people walked in darkness. In that kind of situation, His people would feel a sense of desolation which set the stage for them to receive any vessel He chooses to send.
The Bridge years
This was the case with Israel in the time when Rome exercised over lordship of Israel and the Jews more than 400 years before Jesus was born. As John the Baptist blazed forth in the wilderness proclaiming the imminence of the Kingdom of God, a chapter was closing while another was opening in the dealings of God with man!
God was invading the earth in a new dimension. After millennia of dealing with humanity from afar off, speaking occasionally to people through one vessel or the other, the Seed of the Woman prophesied by God Himself in Genesis 3: 15 had just been incarnated. Divinity had invaded humanity in the form of Emmanuel, product of the Virgin spoken of by Isaiah 7:14.

Course 112: The Ascension Office Gifts (Five Fold Leadership Gifts) - Lesson #4
Apostolic Authority Down the wire...
As we go down the wire, let us reflect on some salient truths.
The four pronged strategy for united action with other five fold offices
As we conclude, it cannot be emphasized enough that Apostles are chosen specifically by Jesus Christ and set in the Church to represent Him by faithfully proclaiming the gospel of the Kingdom of God.
A four pronged strategy enables apostles to fulfil their calling. With Prophets, they are to keep the Church in the mood of the wise virgins, in perpetual readiness for the soon return of Jesus Christ. With Teachers, they are to also emphasize that while we wait for His soon appearance, there is serious work to be done by saints during their pilgrimage in this present life through discovering, pursuing and fulfilling individual mandates, as part of an organic whole. Ephesians 4:1-7, 11-16. In so doing, their compass which is Jesus Christ Himself drives them to yield their vessels to be used of Him to build a Church that is radiant, mature, powerful and able to manifest the glory of Christ to unbelievers as well as principalities and powers in heavenly places. For that to happen, Apostles work closely with Evangelists to ensure that unbelievers hear the gospel and come into the Kingdom as true converts who repented of their sins, , not 'members of congregations'. The true Apostle will challenge Pastors to truly shepherd the flock of Jesus in an empowering way and not as if they belong to him or her. Ephesians 5:26, 27; Ephesians 3:10; 1 Peter 5:1-4.
This will entail the following 8 action points:
1. As Master Builders, they take the architectural plan of the Church that Jesus has handed down in The Word to ensure that the Bride is made ready for the Groom. Ephesians 5:27; 1 Corinthians 3: 10 - 16.

Means of growing in Grace in the Apostolic Calling + Women as Apostles
The validity of an apostolic commission therefore will largely depend on the extent of intimacy with Christ. In Christ is everything we need to function in ministry. It makes sense therefore to grow in intimacy with Him. This is done through some principal means of grace.
1. The first is to yearn and hunger for Christ and refuse to be absorbed by ministry business to the degree that the apostle relies on spent fuel or the irrevocability of the gift and calling to function Romans 11:29. It is entirely possible to be disconnected from Christ and yet do signs and wonders. That a minister is raising the dead, healing the sick and delivering the oppressed is no indicator of the state of his heart! Ask close aides of the mega church Pastors and TV superstar preachers and what they will share with you of the private struggles of celebrity preachers will give you an idea of the extent of this malaise.
It is no wonder that Paul the Apostle made it his overriding desire to press into the fullness of Christ and to apprehend that for which he was apprehended by Christ Jesus. He sought to know Christ intimately and to regard every other knowledge including his famed scholarship dung. Philippians 3: 1 - 14 is a wonderful piece of the holy writ we must resort to often to be challenged. As Colossians 2: 18 - 23, we should be mindful of the need to hold fast to the Head of the Body, Jesus Christ less we slide into religious norms and activities.
