101 APOSTOLIC KEYS: Encountering the Art of the Apostolic Ministry

There is no better time than now to call for order among and within the universal Church where heresy and structural confusion are at their peak among the people of God.Who exactly are the people that God entrusted with the responsibility of keeping and maintaining order in the Church? This question is important for us to search out biblical truth and to submit to God's counsel and wisdom on this regards.' And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ.' - Ephesians 4:11 - 15The above Scripture is the key that can unlock the door of solution to the crisis facing and challenging the Church today.In a brief, I will list some key words in the above Scripture which we must note and act upon in good faith. Yes, I say in good faith.1. The principle of first thing emphasis the importance of anything mentioned first in the bible. On this instance, it is the Apostles. While all others are equally important, the Apostles took the prominence role of being the first among others. The Apostles are specifically called by Jesus to Church leadership and government with signs and wonders, and the grace to write epistles.2. The major purpose of all the five - fold gifts to the Church is to perfect the Saints for the work of the ministry, and to edify the Body of Christ.3. To speak the Truth in love without castigating any party.These vital points raised from the Bible are the major reasons for putting my pen on the paper, so as to speak the mind of God through His trusted Word to the Body of Christ of which I am a member, and an elder too.
