GOD'S PRIORITY
"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Matthew 28:19"
Devotion : Our Lord Jesus Christ prioritized teaching over the fivefold ministry in Ephesians 4:11. When Jesus Christ trained His disciples He did not train them to be prophets even though prophets are also good, but He trained them to be teachers of His Word. This should inform us that teachers are more important and elevated above the other four offices - that is, the office of the apostles, prophets, evangelists and pastors. It takes teaching of the Holy Scriptures to create understanding in new converts and even existing members of the body of Christ. Teaching informs, guides, directs, counsels, comforts, multiplies, and retains the membership of the church. Let the world learn from the church and elevate teachers in society into their rightly place. Dear beloved, can you teach the Word of God? Share your thoughts here!
