WHAT IS AN APOSTLE ? THE WORD APOSTLE IS DERIVED FROM A GREEK WORD CALLED APOSTOLOS MEANING ONE WHO IS SENT.. ACCORDING TO EPHISEAIAN CHAPTER 2:20 THE CHURCH IS BUILT UPON THE FOUNDATION OF THE APOSTLE AND PROPHETS ,JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF BEING THE CHIEF CONER STONE APOSTLES GO THROUGH MUCH GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT IT DOESNT COME OVER NIGHT ..AN APOSTLE IS TRIED AND PROVEN BECAUSE THE MINISTRY OF AN APOSTLE OR THE OFFICE OF AN APOSTLE IS A RELATIONAL MINISTRY..APOSTLE MUST EARN RESPECT NOT DEMAND IT.AS AN APOSTLE YOU MUST BE ABLE TO MAKE GREAT SACRIFICES AND ENDURE HARDSHIP. APOSTLES ARE CHOSEN VESSELS WHO ARE HAND PICK BY GOD HIM SELF AND THEY ARE DESIGN FOR PERSECUTION AND PRESSURE ,THEY WERE NOT DESIGN TO MELT OR CRACK UNDER PRESSURE. THE APOSTLE IN THE NEW TESTAMENT WHEN THROUGH ALL KIND OF PRESSURES AND TRAILS AND WERE STILL ABLE TO GET THE JOB DONE .THEY MUST BE ABLE TO SETTLE DISPUTES ,BE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH OTHERS AND AN APOSTLE SHOULD BE LIKE A BUILDER ,ESTABLISH CHURCHES AND BE ABLE TO BUILD ON THERE OWN FOUNDATION ..APOSTLE PAUL WAS AN EXPERT BUILDER, APOSTLES DEVELOP FORMS ,NETWORK AND ALSO SET UP CHURCHES AND COMMUNITIES .. THERE ARE ALSO TIMES WHEN AND APOSTLE WILL HAVE TO WALK ALONE .. A TRUE APOSTLE IS ROOTED AND GROUNDED AND SHOULD BE KNOWLEDGABLE WHEN IT COMES TO KINGDOM PRINCIPLES AND BUILDING THINGS PERTAINING TO BUILDING THE KINGDOM,,,
