1 Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;
2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.
3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world.
The Sons of God are heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ. But, they were in bondage and held captive by the elements of the world. That's why they have to be put under tutors and governors: this is the purpose of the five-fold ministry. The five-fold ministry is in place to mature the body of christ. The body of christ will remain useless to the Lord as long as they allow themself to be captive to the elements of the world.
A minister's job is to:
Raise the body of christ above those elements
Loose the body of christ from those captivities according to the book of Galatians
Raise the church up so the church is no longer useless and incomplete
Paul said when he was a child he acted like a child, thought like a child, talked like a child, and responded like a child. But when he became a man, he put away childish things, and he took on the responsibilities of his manhood.
The greatest miracle is to create a son! Give God a son! A unbeliever have to become Son, before they can reproduce one. You will never give God what He wants if you do not become a son. God does not care about your eloquence and other abilities. He wants his people to be able to develop a son. It takes a new disposition; an influenced mind to do this. Otherwise, you are going to be tossed to and fro. You have not been influenced until you can take all of your negative experiences; and discern them and see whether you’ve been influenced by God.
This is the life of a saint. If a minister can give a truth to a son that affects them negatively, they were already incomplete. All they did was to reveal this to them. Everyone have to deal with where they are.
God is looking for some sons now: people who have been influenced by Him. He needs those who can complete their training on the field. It does not matter if they do not have any experience as a pastor. God will teach them. You have to decide how badly you want to serve the Father. It is not about reputation. It is not about money. There is, however, a fulfillment in satisfying the Father. It’s like nothing you have ever experienced. All the money in the world cannot give you the satisfaction you get from knowing you have done what God wanted you to do, and that you have influenced another life and changed that life.
There are hearts God is touching. There are some who are discovering they can be more than they ever thought they could be, and that they can be valuable to God.
EVERY JOINT SUPPLIES
Ephesians 4:16
From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
The disposition of a son mind is so important because every joint supplies something to the other joints. What a son is going to supply, is what has been developed in them, by the effectual working of God’s power. A sons' measure is the amount of influence in them, and they have to supply it to the next joint, who may even be out of place.
The effectual working of the Holy Ghost through a son, can bring them where they are to be fitly joined in the Body. There are some joints in the Body that are not fitted. Ignorance, false doctrines, divisions and rebellion in the Body of Christ take the joints out of place. A son of God have a responsibility to supply every joint with what it needs.
A son have the responsibility to allow the effectual working of God's power, through that agency, or the gift God gave them, to be channeled to individuals who are not in the Body so they can be brought in and fitly joined.
