The Evangelist

Let us now continue our in-depth teaching on the Fivefold with a thorough look at the Office of the Evangelist.

Who is an Evangelist?

Simply put, an Evangelist is an announcer of the good news that God in Christ has paid the price of redemption of man from the yoke of Satan and sin and that new life is possible in Him! The Evangelist is thus a megaphone through who God declares in human language with great simplicity and clarity, that mankind has a hope and future grounded in His supreme love that was evidenced in the incarnation, life, passion, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Ephesians 4:11-12

11And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

12For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

Like Apostles and Prophets, Evangelists are specifically chosen by Jesus Christ Himself and vested with a measure of His authority and power to back up their assignment. Evangelists are represented by the long middle finger on the hand which indicates their special grace and ability to bring in the harvest more than any other member of the five fold.

By the nature of their calling and gifting, Evangelists are itinerant. They are at their best when on the go. That way they are not bogged down by familiarity with the audience or internal squabbles and emphasis on bread and butter issues which keeps the Church in maintenance mode.

What are the specific roles God assigns to His Evangelists within and without the Body?

The supreme passion of the heart of a truly called evangelist is that as many people as possible be saved from perishing in eternal damnation which is the logical end of those who reject Jesus Christ, the only lifeline that God has provided humanity. To this extent, Evangelists carry a dual burden: love for sinners and realization of eternal damnation for those who do not have Jesus Christ.

Course 112: The Ascension Office Gifts (Five Fold Leadership Gifts) - Lesson #8

Three Trends that must be stopped + The Way Forward for True Prophets

These three trends must be halted in their tracks within the community of prophets:

1. Tendency to minister out of wounded souls

A wounded soul is one which is out of sync with true spirituality. This happens when an individual is offended, hurt, rejected or in any other form of emotional disconnect from the ideal described in Philippians 4: 4 - 8. A prophet must recognize when his/her soul is hurt and desist from ministry. A wounded soul will release death rather than life. Words spoken are backed by the spirit of the person uttering them. When a prophet is hurt, feeling rejected and dejected, there will be tendency to release words that cannot build up or perfect the saints.

This explains the ugly tendency by some prophets to utter curses on people, even for flimsy reasons. There are those who will curse pastors and congregations for not spending lavishly on them. There are those who would curse those who they transacted businesses with and things did not quite go well. Any prophet who lays curses easily on people (and using the case of Elisha and the young children who taunted him as excuse) is out of order! The negative words uttered must be rejected, cancelled and rendered of no effect by other Prophets or Apostles.

2. New fad to cover the head with Jewish prayer shawls by male prophets.

We owe Judaism a debt of gratitude for being the root from which the New Testament sprang up. The moral laws of the Old Testament such as the 10 commandments are still valid for this dispensation. We are also grateful for the feasts which God instituted to mark His dealings with His people. Those feasts, such as Passover are worthy of study and application of principles enshrined thereto to enrich our walk with God. They are far more edifying than the pagan festivals Rome foisted on Christendom!

Signs of the true Prophet & Pitfalls of the Office

What are the signs of a Prophet?

There are some core signs of the true Prophet of Jesus Christ. These are:

1. Manner of life validates his/her ministry. Jesus himself put this benchmark for determining whether someone is truly a prophet from Him. Matthew 7: 15 - 23. A true prophet should have

i). a clear testimony of salvation Matthew 7:13, 14

ii). Fruit of the Spirit shall be evident in his/her life. Matthew 7: 16 - 20; Galatians 5: 22, 23

iii) Unwillingness to touch the glory of God by speech or attitude. A true prophet will deliberately seek to decrease while pointing the saints to God just like John the Baptist John 3: 25 - 36.

2. Accuracy of the word he or she brings forth and it's lining up with the written word of God. The word brought forth is meaningless if it contradicts clear provisions of scripture, rightly divided. 2 Peter 1: 16 - 21. If for instance a prophet tells a young lady married for 2 years that she married the wrong person and she should divorce her husband to look for the prophesied Camelot, that prophet is a deceiver!

3. Unwillingness to speak except expressly prompted by the Holy Spirit. It is sad these days to see so called prophets turn on the prophetic flow as a faucet at will. This ends up being soulish projections that corrupt the prophetic mantle and bring it into disrepute in the long run. 1 Corinthians 12: 7, 11 establish a basic ground norm that utterance is activated by the Holy Spirit and not the vessel. In reality, He should prompt a prophet to speak. When there is no such prompting, the prophet should not feel obliged to say a word!

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.
