Fivefold Office: 14
Rev. Robert Ampiah-Kwofi

Every one of the Fivefold Offices operates different from the others although they all serve the same final purpose in the Body of Christ.
There are differences in operation within the same purpose.
1 Corinthians 12:4-6 NKJV
“There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all.”

When Christ arose He gave gifts to men but all did not receive the same gift.
Ephesians 4:7-8 NKJV
“But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift. Therefore He says:
“When He ascended on high,
He led captivity captive,
And gave gifts to men.”

Christ gave five different offices from apostle to pastor.
Ephesians 4:11 NKJV
“And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers,”

The different gifts were ordained to achieve the same purpose I.e. the “Building up of the Body of Christ.”
Ephesians 4:12 NKJV
“for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ,”

The different gifts are designed to bring all the different members of Christ’s Body to the same level of maturity.
Ephesians 4:13 NKJV
“till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;“
The Fivefold offices would protect Christ’s Body from deceitful and crafty men.
Ephesians 4:14 NKJV
“that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting,”

May we understand and cooperate with God’s plan of unity and growth.
May we grow and mature, in Jesus name.
