Ephesians 4:11-13
And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists,
and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.
Beloved,
In these last days, the ministry of a teacher is an important tool for a believer to become and manifest as a child of God. Not all believers will belong to this office of a teacher, but some do, and it is your responsibility to recognize them. Everyone God called to pastor His flock will
have divine equipping to teach and explain the truth to those who God Himself gathers under that Pastor with the goal of taking them from one stage of understanding to the next.
The Holy Spirit through the ministry of the pastor answers our questions; he clarifies, resets, refocuses, and brings understanding to the flock of Christ. The calling of believers to different offices has different equipping. The law that governs teaching is repetition. This produces persuasion, which in turn produces permanence; this permanence produces performance, which produces manifestation.
The teaching ministry requires endurance, it requires patience. Beloved, if God has put you under the ministry of a sound teacher of the word of God, it is your wisdom to pay close attention to the words of practical wisdom they impart to you from time to time. You must also
put all that you are learning to practice. The individual that is strongly persuaded is a powerful human being on the earth; such a person becomes a weapon carved out from the force that persuaded him.
I commend you to God and the word of His grace.
I call you NATIONS. I call you blessed.
