This book is the second of five volumes in the series Entering into Ministry covering all the ministries we find in the New Testament. In its first section you will be introduced to the believer’s ministry – what every believer and disciple of Jesus Christ can do and should do – doing what Jesus did.
Section two explains how the Holy Spirit equips us with the nine revelation gifts, making us fully capable to witness to non-believers as well as edifying and strengthening our fellow believers in the church. In addition, every believer will have one or more of the seven motivational gifts releasing his or her gifts and talents related to each individual personality to fully cater for all needs in the Body of Christ.
Finally, section three highlights the importance of understanding the nature and operation of the corporate priestly ministry – how all believers participate in unity in worship and intercession as priests in the New Covenant under our High Priest Jesus Christ. It also portrays what the Old and New Testament have to say about the anointed prophetic music and song, as well as touching the gifts of art and craftsmanship.
