God's model for effective ministry includes the five-fold ministry gifts. He's given a team of teachers known as the five-fold ascension gifts to accomplish His goal. Five fold ministry gifts release dynamics and benefits that will enrich your life.
Mentors and honoring spiritual leaders..To have a good spiritual leader or mentor in your life is truly a gift from God. Your response to that gift will determine much of what happens in your future. Scripture says, “Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially they who labor in the word and doctrine” (1 Timothy 5:17).

Five fold ministry and how to relate to your apostle.The relationships between apostles and other five-fold ministry ascension gifts in a local church are important.

It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood. This is what you have been waiting for all these years. So with great joy and fervent zeal you run toward your high calling to fulfill what you know in your heart is God’s plan for your life and ministry.
New apostolic reformation is on the move. It seems to me that some churches are free-falling into ineffectiveness. Are we becoming prey to religious spirits? Have we become so inner-focused that we ignore the needs of those around us? If we don’t keep the Great Commission in the forefront of our ministries are we prime candidates for lukewarmness and apathy?
Building, restoring, and governing believers, this is the nature of Christ in you.God has made each Christian unique and given them gifts for increase. The apostolic ministry model utilizes all three traits of Christ through the power of the gospel of the Kingdom.
