Understanding the particular call of God for our lives is the key to the fulfilment of our calling in God. Each one of us is created and called differently to fulfil a certain purpose in the mind of God, and we cannot correctly take our place in God's plan and purpose until we find out exactly what area of ministry we have been called to function.
The ministry gifts are not all the same. They are separate and unique callings of God with different job descriptions according to God's particular purpose and plan for each individual.
Unfortunately, many who don't understand these things have shaken it all up into one container and assume they are all the same.
There are basically five-fold ministry gifts (offices) according to the New Testament. They include (with respect to their order of development in the church) the ministry of the prophet, apostle, evangelist, pastor and teacher.
This book deals principally with the fivefold ministry gifts and their operations in the Church today. Find your place in God's glorious army through an understanding of His particular calling for your life.
