The gifts he gave were that some would be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until all of us come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to maturity, to the measure of the full stature of Christ.
Ephesians 4:11-13
Upon reading this passage, we feel that God calls upon our congregation all the time to fill these positions. Are we one of them? Are we so burdened down by our day to day challenges that we cannot seek God’s best for ourselves or congregation in regards to God’s tasks? If we start opening our eyes in faith to God who is serious about equipping the church, then we will indeed be blessed. God is serious about the training of his people so we need to get with it and start recognizing those people around us that he has gifted with special traits; otherwise, we will never get where God wants us to be.
