God's purpose for the church is to transform us into the image of His Son. When Jesus ascended to the Father, he gave gifts "unto men!" (Ephesians 4:8). Those gifts are the gifts of ministry given to the church. (Ephesians 4:11) Pastor Singh stresses that many talented and well-educated people presume to be qualified for ministry. Some even "manufacture" gifts, BUT anyone called by God has their "gifts" bestowed by Him. Why? 1. For the perfecting of the saints. 2. For the work of the ministry. 3. For the edifying of the body of Christ. (Ephesians 4:12)
Jesus was never complicated. Pastor Singh asks, "Is there any gift of God the devil has not corrupted?" The answer is no! For that reason, the apostle Paul wrote, "But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ." (2 Corinthians 11:13)
