Course 112: The Ascension Office Gifts (Five Fold Leadership Gifts) - Lesson #12 The Pastor (Part 2)
The Charge of Peter
In an extraordinary charge to Elders of the Household of Faith that is of great application to Pastors particularly, Apostle Peter exhorted "Care for the flock of God has entrusted to you. Watch over it willingly, not grudgingly - not for what you will get out of it, but because you are eager to serve God. Don't lord it over the people assigned to your care, but lead them by your own good example. And when the Great Shepherd appears, you will receive a crown of never ending glory and honour". 1 Peter 5:1-4. If we break down this exhortation, the following elements are unchanging principles:
1. The flock is entrusted by God to the Pastor.
The saints are the people of God and members of the Body of Christ. They are not members of the Pastor, denomination or the local assembly! A Pastor should never lose sight of this foundational truth! No Pastor 'owns' any brother or sister! We are all children of the same Father, citizens of the same Kingdom having the same Lord and baptised with the same Holy Spirit! Getting this truth into the deepest cavity of the human heart will enable a Pastor to walk in sincere appreciation of the privilege of being called to be an under-shepherd of Jesus.
2. The saints are to be cared for. It is about them, not the Pastor.
The flock is the basis of the office of Pastor, just as any good businessman knows that customers are the reason for being in business! If Pastors allow this paradigm shift to occur within their psyche, they will succeed in ministry. No matter how good, bad, ugly or difficult the saints seem to be, they are the reason for the Office of Pastor to exist! A Pastor who sets out therefore expecting an easy ride in ministry may well go for a mental check up. It is the very things we call dysfunction in the saints that occasion the need for God to specially empower Pastors with the grace to, with great humility, focus and sensitivity apply the healing balm of Jesus on their wounded souls and show them the way to worship God in Spirit and in truth.

Course 112: The Ascension Office Gifts (Five Fold Leadership Gifts) - Lesson #11
The Office of Pastor
The declension of the spiritual health of the Church is directly traceable to the way the enemy successfully confused saints over the years that the fivefold is not necessary. In the process, the Church bought a religious concept that is alien to the Kingdom principles enshrined in the Bible: that one man and one office are sufficient for leading and guiding the people of God. This dangerous doctrine was borrowed from the religion of Rome which was structured as a hierarchy in which one man at every level had sole authority that is unquestionable. Such a man was essentially a supreme leader! Whether you spoke of a Pope or an Archbishop or Bishop or Parish Priest, the principle was the same - that in one man you will find all the gifts, callings and talents that are required to lead the people of God.
In varying degrees, the Protestant movement picked up and cultured this error over the years. In many denominations including independent Charismatic and Pentecostal groups, the founder is indeed a Pope! When a single human has powers to determine what doctrines of the bible to adopt and others to leave out in the name of drawing up Articles of Faith; when that same person is the sole source of feeding the Sheep, counselling them; when that same person oversees the finances and assets of the ministry, what you have is a supreme pontiff! The truth is that time has come for Pentecostals to apologize to Rome for adopting and even perfecting the very concept of leadership they denigrated for many years!
On the opposite side of the spectrum is another depravity: the concept of a weak Pastor who is virtually led by an elected board or council of carnal elders and deacons. These are men and at times women who have no time to pray or study the word but have time to throw out proposals of a Pastor who spends quality time to seek the face of God!
The concept of a Pastor as a religious professional, employed by a Board of Directors to do a job as part of a tenured contract is one of the worst manifestations of how far Wall Street has permeated the Church!

Course 112: The Ascension Office Gifts (Five Fold Leadership Gifts) - Lesson #10
These are Signs of the Evangelist, among others:
- The first sign of the Evangelist is a deep and unquenchable thirst for as many sinners as possible to be saved!
- For this reason, most Evangelists do not bother much about doctrinal finesse. Dogma rankles them as well as all religious barriers that hinder people from coming into a relationship with Jesus Christ.
- Evangelists tend to keep the gospel message so simple that many religious minded folks often flinch in disbelief!
- Evangelists are able to convey the love of God to sinners with remarkable clarity and ease.
- Evangelists have extreme distaste for church politics, strife for positions, preferring to venture outside the familiar and normal, in order to cast the net of salvation was widely as possible.
- Evangelists love being on the road, in the open. They consider it of more value than the activities which go on within buildings. They may seem bored with many congregational activities.
If the Church is to be alive again, there has to be regular infusion of new folks who have made the transition from sinner to saint. To come out of the maintenance mode and Laodecian mindset of Revelations 3: 14 - 19, there is a great need for Evangelists to rise in the dimension of their calling and take their rightful places to spread the net of salvation by grace far and wide again!
All the evangelists who made themselves Pastors because they were unappreciated and rejected must give up the Pastorate and hit the road to do what God has called them to do. Pastors will need to be more secure and reach out to partner with itinerant evangelists, providing their needs so that they can get back to work!

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

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.
