We measure success by the will of God for our life, and our faithfulness to the kingdom of God. Jesus was faithful in all He did, even to the cross. He died for you and me. Give me a faithful man to do the work of the Lord, and the church of Jesus Christ will prosper!! One writer wrote, “Faith creates works, works perfect faith.”
But someone will say, “you have faith, and I have works,” but the word says Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. (James 2:18) Faith without works is dead. (James 2:20) People say they have faith, but their works show differently.
I was on my way back home from a revival in Texas. The Lord said, “I have placed the fivefold ministry in the Church and the Church is starving my Evangelist to death, so I Am moving them into different ministries, the Churches will pay for it.
We have seen this come to pass, how some of the churches went down to nothing because they didn’t believe for the Evangelist to come in and give the Evangelistic message. “And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelist, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.” (Eph. 4:11,12)
Jesus wants His church perfected and it will take all of the fivefold ministry to get the job done. If they are not in operation, the church will die immaturely.
