In our local church an evangelist is like a missionary who preach gospel message to people who are not saved and brings people to faith in christ.The function of the local evangelist is to travel around the world preaching the good news from people who are far away from God and bring them to God. I the local church the evangelist build the body of christ by instructing other church members how to effectively share their faith.

Apostles are people who are annointed by God to spread the message of the gospel salvation to the people who do not God.They arw the foundation of the church whom in them are all the spitual gift. The gift of prophecy,the gift of healing,the gift of preaching or teaching the word of God with wisdom. The Prophet is the one who receives message from God concerning events that will take place in the future and convey them to certain group of people or individual.

Jesus Christ by his grace has given each one of us the spiritual gifts according to his measurement. He did this to prepare all Gods people for the work of Christian service inorder to build the body of christ.So that who ever serve with this gift must serve with the strength that God gives ,so that in all things praise may be given to God through Jesus Christ.

An act of Christian unity could i practice over the next two weeks is patience .As the scripture says we must be patient but i do have patient but not most of the time i think this is the area that i should asked God to help me to deal with it. In what area do i need to repent. Listening to the Holy Spirt.Sometimes the Holy Spirit speaks but i do not listen and do what the Holy tell me to do.

Jesus has taught that a person need to repent or be a born again.After who accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and saviour who can now be baptised in the name of our Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. By doing that you identifies yourself with Christ death,burial and ressurection. After that the Holy Spirit will teach what to do. Should striving for unity blur our faithfulness to biblical understang. No.The word of God and the Holy Spirit are the one that are teaching us what to do. How do we balance the two. I don't think that we can balance the two,because the word of God says by grace we are saved.So it is only God who is able to change the person's mind.What we must keep on praying for them so that can renew their mind.

One Body,One Spirit,One Hope,One Lord,One Faith,One Baptism,andOne God and Father.Compelling.One God and Father and Hope.One God and Father speaks about unit it shows that our God has the bond with our Father.This bond teaches us that as the church we must keep that bond alive inside the church with the hope fhat one day we shall be like them.

The spirit of God is the one that brings unity inside the church.The church must also maintain that spirit of unit.The christians are the one who must work together to maintain the bond of peace inside the church.The christians .Unity must be a prime goal to christians in order to achieve what the holy spirit need inside the church.

Jesus said we must love one another.So love is the most important thing in the church.Love also brings people to christ.Kindness,gentleness and forbearance also maintains unity inside the church.Patience and humility is the most difficult thing we found inside the church.

When a person called by God live a holy life and do what God has called him to do,by that he glorified the works of our Lord.By living a worthy holy life it brings stability and unity in the church and the church also grows spiritually. Jesus himself said to John10:30 Him and his father are one so it is important even to church to bring oneness or unity.Our God is not the author of confusion he is the God of peace or of unity so seperation doesn't come from God but from Satan so seperation is not worthy from fellow Christians. Calling is when God speaks to that person only and instruct him what to do in his church.Maybe he give him the gift of the Holy Spirit in the church according to his will.

A church is the body of christ where God dwells in it.By that i mean we must be the church that has grown spiritually,the church that is obedient to God.Do things together like the first church from Acts :1.the church that will worship God in spirit and truth.

The prophets are the people who are used by God to send his message from the church and from us they build us with scripture when we are facing difficult situations.Jesus is the chief cornerstone because he is the foundation of the church and the church is taught by Jesus to walk in faith through his spiritual word.The church is growing by having bible studies,intercede,reading sriptures and worshiping in spirit and truth.

Members of house hold of God are those who believe in Christ.The nature of the church must be the people who teach themselves to love one another because the God that we serve is the Loving God.The kinds of felowship the church must have is to show love from other church members,help each other in the difficult times and worshipping God inSpirit and Truth.The church must show love to unbelievers so that they can win their souls to God.

Since Christ has died for our sins.By his blood our sins have been washed.Now through Him we are no longer strangers and foreigners but fellow citizens with Jewish believers.we are now holy through the blood of Jesus.

Since we have accepted Jesus Christ as our saviour.Now we have access to fellowship with him,we also have access to speak with direct without consulting the Priest.We also have to love Him we all our heart,with all our soul and with all mind.Jesus is the one who loved us first because he died for our sins.

Gods power works within us who believe in Christ.Christ told his disciples that if they want to do mira les they must have a strong believe in him not small believe.That is why there is five fold ministries inside the church.That why the bible says wants we believe in him everything will be possible.As long as we pray and intercede.The power is no more evident because we are not obedient to him.

The reason that has made God to put Jesus as the head over everything for the church.Jesus is the one who died for everyone. So God has crowned him with glory and honour because of the death he suffered. Jesus is the one who lead us to salvation. God has made him the firstborn over all creation and the church.He is also the firstborn from the dead,that in all things he may have the preeminence. The church has no power without Jesus.Jesus is the one who brings power to the church by bringing spiritual gifts to the church.

Since Christ died for everyone.We see God now crowned him with glory and honour because of the death he suffered.Jesus is the one who leads us to salvation.He was also obedient to God,that is why God has made him Head over everything for the church.Christ is the one who distributed the gift of the Holy Spirit in the church according to his will.That is why the power of the church is in the hands of Jesus.

Paul was telling them that since they have repented and have faith by grace.In the past they were spitually dead because of theirdisobedience and sins,but now by the grace of God they have been saved through faith and being baptised in the name of Jesus.By their union with Christ Jesus he raised them with him in the heavenly world.

Paul is telling them that Christ has conquered death and God has honoured Him by sitted Him on His right hand of His throne. God has also put all His enemies under his feet.

Hi my name is Siphon.I live in South Africa,Johannesburg.I am the full time preacher at my church.The name of my church is Holiness Union Church.It is the great pleasure to me to join this Bible study. I am looking forward to learn more about the book of Ephesians because it will help me to grow more spiritually. Love you all Siphon

Paul was praying to God that He must open their eyes, because he was seeing that these people were not seeing the great things that was done by God to them.So he was praying to God that He must give them spiritual eyes,so that tbey can see things with spiritual eyes not with natural eyes. The example power that Paul is using is the power that God has used raised Jesus from the dead. From Peter
