The Value of a Church Officer
Acts 9:10 and 15 │ Now there was a disciple at Damascus named
Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision, “ Ananias.” And he said,
“Here I am, Lord.” (10)
God knows the location of a church officer who has the
Gospel. That was why He sent Paul who would save the age to
Ananias. You can clearly see in the Bible that God gave answers
to church officers first. The church officers in the Bible knew
that everything was within the Gospelcovenant and evangelism.
Then, what did the church officers of the Early Church do?
1. A Specialized Evangelism Team and Mission Specialized Team
A specialized team that did “only evangelism” was formed.
That team did not think about popularity or success. All it
did was “only evangelism,” healing, and the regional
church movement that raised the Summit to the extent of
saving the
church. Afterward, people gathered at the church, and that
flow was connected to missions.
2. The Formation of a Mission Specialized Team
In every crisis, the answer of a specialized team that fulfilled its
mission took place.Romans 16, 1 Corinthians 16, and Colossians 4 In the
age of crisis when those who believed in Jesus and evangelized
were killed, church officers of the Early Church gathered
in
Mark’s upper room. Moreover, they not only played the role of
patrons, hosts, and fellow workers of evangelists like Obadiah
who staked his own life to protect prophets, but also entered
the synagogues to relay the Gospel in order to raise the
posterity.Acts 17:1, 18:4, and 19:8 Afterward, they naturally
formed a mission specialized team to see and find the
ones who remained, the scattered ones, hidden ones,
sojourners, and disciples.
If a church officer receives these answers, then the church,
field, and posterity will be revived. The servant of the Lord
will gain strength and testify the Gospel. This is the value of a
church officer.
