Know Those That Labor Among You

Our fourth of the six things we are looking at that will cause our light to shine for the Lord and the kingdom of God to be known is as follows:

Know Those That Labor Among You

1 Thessalonians 5:11-13(KJV)
11Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
12And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;
13And to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. And be at peace among yourselves.

The Apostle, the Prophet, the Evangelist, the Pastor and the Teacher are the gifts of men given by the Lord for the building up of the body of Christ for the work of ministry.
There needs to be a strong networking among the body of Christ so that we all come into the UNITY of THE FAITH.

Ephesians 4:11-16 is a picture of what the church should be all about so it is imperative that we know those that labor among us so we can be what we should be. We need to be growing in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour and doing the work of ministry.

Blessings on Ya!
