Varieties of Pastors (1 Cor12:4-7)

 

Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.(v1) Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal (1 Cor 12;4-7).

Diversities of gifts
Differences of administration
Diversities of operations

Not all evangelists are the same. Not all pastors are the same not all preachers are the same. There are those who are preachers and teachers. There are pastors who are leaders and there are pastors who are evangelists also. Some are classroom preachers others are outdoor preachers. Some build the church folks others are for outside there saving folks, some do both, but we all serve the same Lord. Some are executive pastors, others are entrepreneurial pastors, counseling pastors, church growth pastors, city pastors, rural pastors, pulpit pastors, street pastors or revival pastors and that's what I want to focus on here, revival pastors. 

The world needs revival Pastors and I do think that these pastors have a measure of anointing to function in the many different kind of operations that the pastor finds himself involved with. He has a diverse anointing, and can build in many different situations, be it a local church as well as a global church. He can build in the city as well as in the village. He can teach a crowd as easy as he can teach one to one. 

To carry this new move of God's spirit what God is doing in Wales will require us who are established in our call raise up men and women to operate and function in their gift and place also. Ephesians 4;11 God gave pastors for the "perfecting off the saints for the works of the ministry" (v12). Revival pastors, yes that's what some are Revival Pastors are to raise up and train leaders. Revival Pastors  produce revival pastors. Only then can revival be sustained and the fruit of it (churches) be built and grow productively and successfully.

Looking forward to your Ministry
Paul
