The apostle’s ministry comes with authority, power, and the miraculous. This is only a part of the apostle’s ministry. His ministry serves as a reflection of Christ’s ministry to the Church. Consequently, the apostle’s character must be solid. Therefore, God will take the apostles through tests, trials, and temptations in order to prepare them for ministry.
The training of an apostle is oftentimes humiliating. God will allow disruption in every area of his life to prepare him for service. Those called to the apostolic office should understand that preparation for ministry is in the development of Christ’s character. If this is done, the apostle will never come behind in any spiritual gift during ministry. In this book, we will discuss how God builds the apostle for ministry.
