There is an obsession in the Kingdom where Men of God are highly possessed with a spirit of Titles. The Bible records and i quote; Eph 4:11-13 11 And He gave some as apostles , and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, 12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ; 13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fulness of Christ. NASB The above are five graces that are supposed to be functional in the Church. Then Paul shows to the Corinthian Church the functionality of these offices that God has appointed; 1 Cor 12:28-29 28 And God has appointed in the church, first apostles , second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, various kinds of tongues. NASB From here we can deduce that order and foundation, direction, grounding in the word is of primary importance than miracles, gifting and so on. Now if this are the offices that God has appointed in the House, why have we come up with functions that God did not appoint like B-Shop, Overseer, etc; why then do we call ourselves apostle prophet pastor Ramazhamba? Why do we call ourselves Dr Pastor or Dr Apostle; why the need to buy doctorate degree; Why do we call ourselves Apostolic Prophet Ramazhamba? Are we saying that God Made a mistake or that He does not understand the concept? Or that we have become so greedy that we want to be everything. We need to remember that when we become jack of all trades, we are masters of none...
