Understanding The Five Fold Ministry: 5.the Evangelist

Apostle Grace Lubega

Ephesians 4:11-12(KJV); 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:

Evangelism is primarily about winning souls and is the one part of the fivefold that must be strongly established in any ministry that seeks to grow.

One of the distinctive marks of the ministry of evangelism is that it centres on the person of Jesus Christ and none other.

The spirit of an evangelist communicates the saving power of Jesus Christ and His grace.

This means that evangelists are grace preachers because this is what makes the gospel good news: that men are not condemned but forgiven; that God’s love draws them as they are to repentance.

As an evangelist, you ought to understand that no sinner should ever come to the throne feeling ashamed but forgiven. Praise Him!

GOLDEN NUGGET: 

The spirit of an evangelist communicates the saving power of Jesus Christ and His grace. Evangelists are grace preachers because this is what makes the gospel good news: that men are not condemned but forgiven; that God’s love draws them as they are to repentance.

PRAYER: Father, I thank you for this knowledge. I carry the understanding of the divine mandate to win souls. This wisdom is anchored in grace and by it, multitudes come to the kingdom. I am a true labourer because I see the readiness of the harvest and my heart is given to seeing many drawn to you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
