PASSIONATE PUSUIT...HE GAVE ALL MEN A PORTION TO PERFECT...

EPHESIANS 4:11-15
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 STAUTRE OF THE FULLNESS 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:
The Lord states that he gave gifts unto all men and having done so, he has given us the ability to ascend and descend from the high place to the lowly estate to meet the needs of others and help bring them to their expected end and perfect that which may be lacking in the faith. Therefore, let us not neglect the gift that has been given for the perfecting. He has his body on the potter’s wheel for the edification and to glorify him in the midst of a wicked and perverted generation. He has given the apostles to lay the foundation of faith, he has given the prophets to give the instruction and direction; to speak to the bones to live and bring forth, he has given the evangelists to go forth to the hedges and highways to bid the Lord’s guests to his banqueting table, and he has given the pastor’s and teachers to sow and water  the seeds so that body comes into the fullness of stature and is presented to the Lord holy and without blame.
He has given to “some” these ministers so the body is edified and compelled into the unity of the Holy Spirit in the knowledge of Christ. We must know our saviour. Be faithful over a few things. Some may only have one or two gifts, yet perfect that which you do have. Perfect the gift until we come into the fullness of measure, knowing that the Lord is not slack with his coming. Henceforth, meaning from this point forth we should no more be tossed to and fro as children with every wind of doctrine by the sleight of men. Men’s doctrine brings forth limitations and gives reasonings why things cannot be done. He gives thought with respect of persons and times, and reasonings of unbelief when Jesus Christ has given us freely all things as joint-heirs to open doors, to build the kingdom of God with no fear of the adversary. These are those who are liers in wait, tares amongst the wheat who have been planted to grow with us. Know hat they’re there, because he prepareth a table in the midst of his adversaries. Nonetheless, we speak truth in love. These days its not popular. He’s grows us up in all things as the head that we may sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
