WE HONOR APOSTLE PAUL

A Leader Excerpt From Apostle Taveau’s upcoming Old Testament Levitical Patriarchism Bible Study

In which we examine Church Of Ephesus, Ephesians Chapter 4

WE HONOR THE MAN WHO WROTE EPHESIANS 4 (KJV)..CHIEF APOSTLE PAUL

APOSTLE PAUL was (a perceived) NON Levitical Patriarch, however, one who grew up accustomed to it and was well acquainted with everything pertaining to the Mosaic Leader Law…

 However, (the leader “women keep silent” “YOU MUST fellowship with the saints”) historically portrayed Paul, was NOT MELP (Middle Eastern Levitical autocratic Patriarch)..but a very unassuming, Holy Spirit inwardly guided, apostolic Galatians 1:1-2 “not SENT OUT by any ONE man or any ONE Levitical, non Levitical group..but ONLY SENT OUT by, from the LORD” (Just as this writer is)..

WHAT FOLLOWS NEXT IS LEADER APOSTOLIC EPHESIANS 4

A FIRST CHURCH BLESSED BIG COMMUNITY Synopsis
 CHURCH EPHESIANS 4: 1-3

APOSTLE PAUL instructs Christ’s entire Body( ministry, lay) on HOW to Walk Out the daily Christian Community, Unique Individual, Leader, Follower Real LIFE:

1.“I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.”

CHURCH EPHESIANS 4: 4-6

CHIEF APOSTLE PAUL LISTS THE COMMON MINISTRY DOCTRINES WHICH DEFINE A “TRULY BORN AGAIN SAVED, PERSON”

4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

CHURCH EPHESIANS 4: 7

APOSTLE PAUL SITES “Amazing Big Grace” which, after a person receives, accepts Christ as their Savior, is granted FREE GRACE.

7 “But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

CHURCH EPHESIANS 4:8-10

CHIEF APOSTLE PAUL describes a significant deep MYSTERY regarding the Supernatural, yet affecting day to day Real Time Life, Savior intentions (note this is far too deep to go into at this time)

8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)”

CHURCH MINISTRY EPHESIANS 4

Apostle Paul names the five OFFICE ministry, revelation, teaching, witnessing, seer, governing, leader GIFTS which God has given to His CHURCH… ASIDE: I prefer to call attention to HOW Paul uses the 5 named Ephesians offices..for too many make them about sighted Position and use of God’s Power, or even morph them into forms incompatible with First lowly Church…making it akin to Show Biz, Leader Performance, over many ministry Big I’s, Little You’s…

  SO I now call attention to how Paul pens each mature leader OFFICE (apostle, prophet, pastor, teacher, evangelist) for whenever he writes about any of them ,plus even when he names himself as an apostle, that Paul ONLY uses “lower case letters” rather than beginning penning each of the offices (also “bishop”) with a CAPITAL…which implies “all leaders, elders as servant ministers” (which would make them submit to Ephesians 4 common doctrine, Ephesians 4:1-3 ALL walking in meekness and lowliness in unity” and would imply Ephesians 5:21 “mutual submission in the fear of the Lord” would also apply to each one of them.” SUBMITTED AS MINISTRY SELAH

CHURCH EPHESIANS 4: 11- 12

“And he (God) gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;”

APOSTOLIC CHURCH EPHESIANS 4: 12

…The Real Purposes of All Ministry Leader, Elder Servant Offices
12 “For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ”

To me Ephesians 4:12 implies ONGOING, UNITY, ELDERS UNITED to getting everyone on the Same Eternal Salvation, Living the Real Disciple Life, Saved, Multicultural, Diverse, Christ Centric Apostolic ,Faith Filled, Mutually Submitted, Psalm 133 Unified, Blessed Page! Everyone working in completion, rather in being in competition, NO respecter of persons classism..Also with zero ‘turf, self protecting” No Big I’s.

CHURCH OFFICE EPHESIANS 4:13

PAUL Explains the reasons for the Father blessing the ongoing CHURCH with the 5 fold office ministries:

13 “Till we ALL (all nations, colors, Types, groups, unique mature, immature, deep, very shallow, real persons) come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:”

EFFECTIVE CHURCH EPHESIANS 4:14

Apostle Paul describes a TRANSFORMED UNIFIED NON LEGALISTIC CHURCH, EORR (Equal Opportunity Real Respectful) Word clearly based formidable Church which is NOW…emotionally stable, perceived as majority mature, not as easily swayed, less corrupt, viewed as healthy and grounded in mature, true Bible doctrines.

14 “That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:”

NOTE: above “WHO” is OVER everyone…”the HEAD..CHRIST” not one famous gifted Top Office Sr Authority…and I prefer to note that Galatians 1:1-2 “SENT OUT from God and not FROM, BY any ONE human or GROU” was apparently good enough for Paul, even the Messiah, Jesus, and Elijah…surely many known, unknown others, so IF God witnesses that to YOU, then it’s surely good enough for Thou and me.

PS GALATIANS 1:1-2 is about a God truly called, commissioned office NOT being UNDER any Old Testament Levitical Legalism, a System ..which creates clones, accuser Phariseeism even rampant abuse.
However, the “freedom” to apostolic leader minister does NOT imply that one is NOT accountable to anyone, is a Lone Warrior who never lets anyone disagree or correct him/her and/or it is NOT imply that one is better, superior or knows more than.

It is simply (to me) a mature safeguard to avoid CONTROL, having to DUMMY DOWN in order to risk COMPROMISING The Word coming from the Lord. And it is a Safeguard against domination and immature covering in many autocratic, less than perceptive, immature, impure office shallow, pioneering ministry.
I submit this as Selah.

 EPEHSIANS MULTICULTURAL HEALTHY,EFFECTIVE “TRANSFORMED” BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN, BODY COMMUNITY ..there is a big community prospering, healthy, and EDIFYING (super positive) area effect due to the Born Again Believers submitted, acting upon Ephesians 4 Body Community Faith Filled Agreed Upon True Unity:

16 “From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.”

 CHURCH OF EPHESUS 4:17-19 …

APOSTLE PAUL PAINTS A PICTURE OF THE “NEW WHOLE LEADER COOPERATING MAN”

17 “This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,
18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:
19 Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
20 But ye have not so learned Christ;”

CLEANSED REFIRED EPHESIANS 4

“WALKING THE “TAKE UP THY CROSS AND CARRY” GENUINE LOVE WALK” TRULY BORN AGAIN, INTO CHRIST FOLLOWING INDIVIDUALS COMBINING TO FORM “THE BLESSED BELOVED(not too quiet) CHURCH”

21″ If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.”

REALISTIC CHURCH EPHESIANS 4:25-

APOSTLE PAUL WARNS AGAINST GRIEVING THE HOLY SPIRIT..CLEANING UP IT’S OWN AUTHENTIC RELATIONSHIP RESPECTING ACT

25″ Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
27 Neither give place to the devil.
28 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.
29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.”

CHURCH OF EPHESIANS Chapter 4:30

THE LOVING FIRST CHURCH UNDERSTANDS AND RESPECTS HOLY SPIRIT ENOUGH TO KNOW HOW NOT TO “GRIEVE HIM.” (assessed as a Now Good Ministry Teaching, non legalistic training point):

30 “And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.”

CHURCH OF EPHESIANS 4:32

THE EMOTIONALLY MATURE DEEP MINISTRY AND CHURCH is compassionate, emphatic, not one big ME , SELF, OUR OWN 4, muddied Self Centric.

Also, each human being one, does their OWN personal needed INNER WORK. It RESPECTS and VALUES all OTHERS and is RELATIONSHIP RESPECTFUL, Outwardly FRIENDLY and has it’s act together in family, personal, private, public, ministry, business, leader, lay, elder, males, females, ALL RACES, APPEARANCES …NOT ONE BIT RELIGIOUS BIASED servant hearted RELATIONSHIPS.

“31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.”
