The Five-Fold Ministry

1. By Pastor Ron Millevo

2. EPHESIANS 4:11-13
"And He gave some, apostles; and some,
prophets; and some, evangelists; and
some, pastors and teachers; For the
perfecting of the saints, for the work
of the ministry, for the edifying of
the body of Christ: Till we all come in
the unity of the faith, and of the
knowledge of the Son of God, unto a
perfect man, unto the measure of the
stature of the fulness of Christ.

3. MARK 16:15-16
And He said unto them, Go
ye into all the world, and
preach the gospel to every
creature. He that believeth
and is baptized shall be
saved; but he that believeth
not shall be damned.

4. ROMANS 10:13-17
13 For whosoever shall call upon the
Name of the Lord shall be saved.
14 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?
15 And how shall they preach, except
they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful
are the feet of them that preach the gospel of
peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
17 So then faith [cometh] by hearing, and
hearing by the word of God.

FIVE-FOLD MINISTRY
APOSTLES, PROPHETS, EVANGELISTS, PASTORS, TEACHERS

7.  WORK OF THE MINISTRY
MATTHEW 20:25-28- "But Jesus called them,
and said, "Ye know that the princes of the
Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and
they that are great exercise authority upon
them. But it shall not be so among you: but
whosoever will be great among you, let him
be your minister; And whosoever will be
chief among you, let him be your servant:
Even as the Son of man came not to be
ministered unto, but to minister, and to give
his life a ransom for many.

8. UNITY IN THE FAITH

I CORINTHIANS 1:12-13 - Now this I say, that
every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of
Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. Is
Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you?
or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?

I CORINTHIANS 1:10 - Now I beseech you,
brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and
[that] there be no divisions among you; but
[that] ye be perfectly joined together in the
same mind and in the same judgment.

9. THE GOALS OF PREACHING
Preaching is the main work of God’s servants.
Preaching has the following components:

1. INFORMATION
Creating awareness amongst people about the Word of
God; introducing the Gospel of Truth to the whole world

2. INSTRUCTION
Acquiring of knowledge by the people through a clear
understanding the mysteries of the Scriptures

3. ACCEPTANCE
By faith, people must be lead to believe (and obey) the
Word of God as Absolute Truth
4. MOTIVATION
Motivating people by offering them an invitation to
receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour for
salvation and forgiveness of sins
5. PERSUASION
The assertion of Biblical truths and principles into
people's lives in order for them to be counted worthy for
the Kingdom

10.  -- to preach the good news
 -- to proclaim glad tidings
 -- to instruct men concerning the things
that pertain to Christian salvation; Jesus
Christ as having suffered death on the cross
procured eternal salvation for the believers
in the kingdom of God
Greek lexicon - euaggelizo {yoo-ang-ghel-id'-zo}

11. ROMANS 1:16
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ:
for it is the power of God unto salvation to
every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and
also to the Greek.
EPHESIANS 1:13
In whom ye also [trusted], after that ye heard
the word of truth, the gospel of your
salvation: in whom also after that ye believed,
ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of
promise.

12. ROMANS 16:25-26
Now to him that is of power to establish you
according to my gospel, and the preaching of
Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of
the mystery, which was kept secret since the
world began, But now is made manifest, and
by the scriptures of the prophets, according
to the commandment of the everlasting God,
made known to all nations for the obedience
of faith.

13. I THESSALONIANS 1:5
For our gospel came not unto you in word
only, but also in power, and in the Holy
Ghost.
II TIMOTHY 1:8
Be not thou therefore ashamed of the
testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner:
but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the
gospel according to the power of God.

14. THE GOSPEL IN PLAIN VIEW
JOHN 3:16-19
 16 For God so loved the world, that
he gave his only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in him should
not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the
world to condemn the world; but that
the world through him might be
saved…
19 And this is the condemnation,
that light is come into the world, and
men loved darkness rather than light,
because their deeds were evil.

15. THE GOSPEL IN PLAIN VIEW
JOHN 5:24
“ Verily, verily, I say unto you,
He that heareth my word,
and believeth on him that
sent me, hath everlasting
life, and shall not come into
condemnation; but is passed
from death unto life.”

16. THE GOSPEL IN PLAIN VIEW
SIN
UNBELIEF
DISOBEDIENCE
ROMANS 3:23
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.
ROMANS 5:12
Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by
sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.

17. THE GOSPEL IN PLAIN VIEW
SIN
I JOHN 2:2 - And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours
only, but also for [the sins of] the whole world.
ROMANS 3:24-25- Being justified freely by his grace through the
redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth [to be] a
propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the
remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
JESUS CHRIST

18. THE GOSPEL IN PLAIN VIEW
MEDIATOR* I TIM 2:5- “For [there is] one God, and one
mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
REDEEMER* ISAIAH 59:20- “And the Redeemer shall come to
Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob,
saith the LORD.
SAVIOUR AND LORD* LUKE 2:11- For unto you is born this
day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
ADVOCATE* - I JOHN 2:1 - And if any man sin, we have an
advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.

19. THE GOSPEL IN PLAIN VIEW

II CORINTHIANS 5:19- “To wit, that God was in
Christ, reconciling the world unto
Himself.

I TIMOTHY 3:16 – “And without controversy
great is the mystery of godliness: God was
manifest in the flesh.”

20. THE GOSPEL IN PLAIN VIEW


redemption through his blood, [even] the
forgiveness of sins: Who is the image of the
invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:


fulness of the Godhead bodily.

beside me; a just God and a Saviour; [there
is] none beside me.

the law purged with blood; and without
shedding of blood is no remission.”

23. THE MYSTERY OF
CHRIST (HUSBAND) & THE CHURCH (WIFE)
EPHESIANS 5:23, 30, 31, 32
23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as
Christ is the head of the church: and he is the
saviour of the body.
30 For we are members of his body, of his
flesh, and of his bones.
31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and
mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two
shall be one flesh.
32 This is a great mystery: but I speak
concerning Christ and the church.

24. UNITY IN THE FAITH

I CORINTHIANS 1:12-13 - Now this I say, that
every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of
Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. Is
Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you?
or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?

I CORINTHIANS 1:10 - Now I beseech you,
brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and
[that] there be no divisions among you; but
[that] ye be perfectly joined together in the
same mind and in the same judgment.

25. DEFINITION OF OFFICES
APOSTLES
PROPHETS
EVANGELISTS
PASTORS
TEACHERS

26. DEFINITION OF OFFICES
APOSTLES
The word "apostle" means "one
that's sent.” A missionary is an
apostle. The word "missionary"
means "one sent." The apostle is
a special man. He's a setter-in-
order. He's a man that's sent
from God to set the things in
order.

27. DEFINITION OF OFFICES
PROPHETS
The prophet is a special man. A
prophet is a man of whom the
Word of the Lord comes to. He
has “Thus SAITH THE LORD ”. A
prophet foresees way off things
that are coming. He sees the cup
of God's wrath, full, before it is
filled. Prophets are
foreordained.

28. DEFINITION OF OFFICES
PROPHETS
The Bible said, "If there be one
among you spiritual or a prophet, I,
the Lord, will make Myself known
unto him, speak to him in visions,
and reveal Myself in dreams. And if
what this man says comes to pass,
then hear him, for I am with him. If
it doesn't, then don't hear him. I'm
not with him. Don't fear him."
DEUTERONOMY 18:20-22

29. DEFINITION OF OFFICES
PROPHETS
(1) “SEER” OF VISIONS ; (2) HAS
“THUS SAITH THE LORD” ; (3) HAS
A GIFT OF DISCERNMENT ; (4) CAN
PROPHESY AND COMES TO PASS;
(5) CAN INTERPRET DREAMS ; (6)
STAYS SOLIDLY IN THE WORD; (7)
TAKES NO GLORY UPON HIMSELF

30. DEFINITION OF OFFICES
EVANGELISTS
The evangelist is a man that's
burning like a fireball. He runs
into a city and preaches his
message, and gets out of there
again to go somewhere else to
preach. He brings revival
amongst churches and preaches
convicting messages amongst
sinners.

31. DEFINITION OF OFFICES
PASTORS
The pastor is the burden-bearer;
he's the ox of the team .
The full and complete authority
of the church is the pastor.
That’s the order of the Bible.
There's no one above the elder.
The elder is the man. Bishop is the
office of the man.

32. PASTORAL QUALIFICATIONS (I TIMOTHY 3:1-
7)
¶ This [is] a true saying, If a man desire the office of
a bishop, he desireth a good work.
2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of
one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given
to hospitality, apt to teach;
 3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy
lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;
4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his
children in subjection with all gravity;
5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house,
how shall he take care of the church of God?)
6 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall
into the condemnation of the devil.
7 Moreover he must have a good report of them
which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the
snare of the devil.

33. APOSTLE PETER HAD A WIFE
MATTHEW 8:14 -
And when Jesus was
come into Peter's
house, he saw his
wife's mother laid,
and sick of a fever.

34. DEFINITION OF OFFICES
TEACHERS
The teacher is a special man. He sets back
under the anointing of the Spirit and is
able to take the Words and put them
together by the Holy Spirit, that the
pastor or evangelist either one could not
compare with him.
Preaching usually catches the sinner,
brings him under condemnation by the
Word. But teaching places a man
positionally what he is. And we can never
rightly be able to have faith until
positionally we know what we are.

35. DEFINITION OF OFFICES
TEACHERS
Paul told Timothy, "Study It, rightly
dividing the Word of God which is Truth."
There's three musts in the Scripture. In
using God's Word there is three things
that we must not do.. We must not
misinterpret the Word. You say, "Well, I
believe It means this." It means just what it
says. It needs no interpreter.
 We must not misplace the Word.
And we must not dislocate the Word (Heb
13:8). And if we would do either of these, it
throws the whole Bible in a confusion and in
a chaos.

44. “Now, everybody can't be a preacher,
but you got a voice… If you're a preacher,
you're called to the pulpit to preach. If
you're not, you're still a preacher, but live
the people a sermon. Let your sermon be
lived, and it's the voice of God that'll bring
reproach to them who reject it.
See, live your sermons. Don't try to
preach them if you're NOT called to be a
preacher; get all mixed up, anyhow, and
messed up, and you'll get people tangled
up, and you won't know... Well, you'll ruin
them and yourself too. Just live your
sermon.
The preacher's called to preach his and to live
it too. If you can't live it, then stop
preaching it. But you're supposed to live
your sermons.

"Let your women keep silence in the churches:
for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but
[they are commanded] to be under obedience, as
also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let
them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame
for women to speak in the church.“
1 Timothy 2:11-15 clearly states:
"Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp
authority over the man, but to be in silence. For
Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not

them which cause divisions and offences contrary to
the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.

the doctrine of the Nicolaitans,
which thing I hate.

56. NICOLAITANES SYSTEM

Nicolaitane, comes from two Greek words:
Nikao which means "to conquer", and Lao
which means "the laity".
Nicolaitane means, "to conquer the laity".
The Nicolaitane doctrine was "the
corruption of the clergy as they sought
political power amongst themselves.”
Nicolaitanism is organization,
humanizing the leadership of the church,
and thereby deposing the Spirit. Man
over man.
