COVENANT MINDED MINISTRIES

Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors and Teachers

And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, (Ephesians 4:11)

for the equipping of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, (Ephesians 4:12)

till we all come to the unity of the faith and the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; (Ephesians 4:13)

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, (Ephesians 4:14)

but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head --- Christ --- (Ephesians 4:15)

from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does it share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love. (Ephesians 4:16)

Only the ordained ministers of Christ, and not those who have transformed themselves into ministers of righteousness, are capable of preaching and teaching the word of God.  All others are imposters, deceitful workers, ministers of Satan who preach and teach another gospel.

Only the Jesus of the Holy Bible, is the real Jesus, which is not the Jesus of Catholicism, Mormonism, Seven Day Adventism, Jehovah's Witnesses, Oneness Pentecostalism, Buddaism, Hinduism and a host of other Christian and religious cults, which have an entirely different Jesus or no Jesus at all, whom priests and ministers have not been ordained and sent by the Jesus of the Holy Bible.

How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed?  And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard?  And how shall they hear without a preacher? (Romans 10:14)

And how shall they preach unless they are sent?  As it is written: :"How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace; Who bring glad tidings of good things!" (Romans 10:15)

Sanctify them by Your word.  Your word is truth. (John 17:17)

As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. (John 17:18)

And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth. (John 17:19)

Ido not pray for these alone, but also for those who will beileve in Me through their word; (John 17:20)

that they all maye be one, as You Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. (John 17:21)

Only the ordained ministers of Christ preach and teach the truth.  Messages from all others are deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons.  Therefore, know who's feeding you and discern what you're eating, as to whether it's a lie or the truth.

Those who are out of line with biblical truths as recorded in the Holy Bible and offer alternative understandings and conclusions preach and teach another gospel, and should be avoided, not congregated with, and labeled as accursed messengers as commanded by the Holy Bible.  

Greediness is of the Devil 

Money in and of itself is not a problem, but the love of money is a root, though not the root, of all kinds of evil, which can drive a person (including a believer) into all types of evil.

Such greediness may cause a believer even to stray from the faith, resulting from being blinded by greed and materialism to such a degree that he or she breaks away from the faith.

A life focused primarily on money and material things creates an inner lack of godliness and contentment that leaves a vacuum filled with greed.  Such greed drives people who desire to be rich into temptation, snares, and foolish and harmful lusts, eventually drowning them under the tremendous weights of their love of money and material things.

Christians that harbor and practice such greed will suffer ruin and irretrievable loss, either in this life, as through a wrong purpose for living, and/or it may be in the afterlife if money and material desires lead them away from Christ. 

Of course, it's obvious, that sinners will suffer ruin and irretrievable loss; sometimes in this life, but most definitely, in the afterlife, because they are without Christ, just as those who had Him and allowed money and material things to have greater priority; whereby, putting off Christ for the things of the world. 

It is vitally important for one to flee from the love of money and desires for things of the world by practicing a Spirit-controlled life.  Men, women, and children of God should pursue godliness, not materialism, with all of their being. 

A godly a life is not expected of a sinner; but those who profess and claim to be Christians, should know that greediness is not of the fruit of the Spirit, and should immediately depart from this ungodly spirit that's labeled with destruction and perdition.

Unfortunately, this spirit of greed is more prevelent in some mainstream Christian churches and/or their apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers than it should; however, it's there!

Prosperity teaching is fine and in order as long as those who are teaching it aren't doing it for their own financial gain.  Such teaching should first key in on prosperity of the soul, which is the first and foremost requirement for financial prosperity and being in health.

False teachers, including, but ont limited, to those who have infiltrated mainstream Christianity denominations, manifest proud and haughty conducts, acting as if they're all of this and all of that.  Flee from such; your soul deserves more!

Such corrupt teachers are only interested in gravitating attention to themselves, using persuasive words, and involving themselves useless speculative arguments, "as to make others think they are something," when in fact, "they are nothing," and "only in it for money and power."

Such teachers are more interested in theory and debate than putting the truth to practice, wherein, maintaining continuously a "morbid desire to argue over words."  The more they speak, the more destitute of the truth they become and practice, manifesting only their selfish ambitions and desires, confirming their form of godliness, but denial of the power thereof.

Therefore, do not be surprised when you see and hear of certain well-known established churches and/or apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers involved in practices of greed in the name of the Lord.  You will know them by their fruits.
