Oh how I wish the teachers and the prophets would combine their gifts for the glory of God instead of staying divided and conquered!
Then God would be able to do a MIGHTY work. Not a MARKETING work.
Back in Bible days, teachers and prophets were able to combine their gifts for the glory of God and God was able to do mighty works. They didn’t call each other Pharisees. They didn’t call each other Wolves in sheep’s clothing. They were mature and were able to sharpen each other, and God sent out the most effective ministry in the New Testament from that humility. If the Mind says to the Eye, “I don’t need You” and the Eye says to the Mind, “I don’t need you” Then we don’t have an effective Body.
1 Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. 2 As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them. 3 And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
When the teachers and the prophets came together in Acts 13, God was able to do the most powerful work of all time: Barnabas and Paul sent as Apostles. They reached almost the whole civilized world with the gospel of the kingdom. Meanwhile we focus on our brands and our videos and our albums and our media and our dvds, in competition and strife.
