Understanding The Apostolic
In the beginning of the Jesus Christ ministry on earth one of his first steps in his ministry was to call those who would be his apostles. He didn't call prophets, etc. He only called apostles first, apostles were the first disciples of Jesus ministry.
Apostles first to be commission into ministry.
Apostles were the first leaders of the church. (Matt. 20:16)
Jesus Christ is not only the head of the church; he is the chief apostle of all apostles of Christ. The apostolic anointing flows from him to all the body of Christ, and the apostles. (Heb. 3:1)
Jesus is the one who created the office and ministry of the apostle not man, not the church, not the Christian faith. It is Jesus who calls and raises up apostles, not man, not the church, not the Christian faith. (Acts 9)
