Apostolic Ministries

At that time, they were called prophets and teachers. But in the next chapter of Acts, chapter 14, verse 14, it says,

“When the apostles, Barnabas and Saul…”

When did they become apostles? When they were sent out by the church. You see, an apostle is a sent-out one. This is tremendously important because it indicates a scriptural way that we can institute apostolic ministry.

How many of us can believe for prophets and teachers? Can you believe that there are prophets and teachers in the church today? I certainly believe there are. If prophets and teachers wait on God in fasting, seeking Him, it opens a scriptural way for God to send forth apostles. How many of you believe there can be apostles in the church today? It’s a good thing because they’re put in the church “to perfect it.”
