I Corinthians 12:28-31 And God hath set some in the church, first Apostles, secondarily Prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. Are all Apostles? Are all Prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles? Have all the gifts of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.
The Five-Fold Ministry Apostle
The ministry of an Apostle is to lay foundation and establish Ministries. They have walked in various offices within the Five-Fold ministry. Apostles are matured and developed individuals. Signs and Wonders will operate in their lives. They will provide spiritual covering and have an Apostolic anointing to set the Kingdom of God in order. They operate well in the gifts of the Spirit. An Apostle’s preaching and teaching reveals Jesus Christ as the head cornerstone of their lives. The word “Apostle” comes from the Greek word meaning to “send forth with a specific commission” or the sent one.
Prophet
A Prophet in the Old Testament was called a “Seer”. A Prophet is called to reveal events concerning the past, present, and future. Their message is God-revealed. A Prophet is also a preacher or one who proclaims and confirms, because they proclaim God’s Word. They speak of things concerning the Kingdom of God. God reveals His next move to His Prophet.
A Prophet can also be called a visionary; their message sometimes comes through dreams and visions. The Prophets missions and appointments come directly from God. Jer.23: 28:29 The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? Saith the LORD. Is not my word like as a fire? Saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?
