Picture a once-vibrant river that has slowed to a trickle. Its banks are dry, and the surrounding landscape thirsts for nourishment. Suddenly, the waters begin to swell, and the river surges forward with renewed strength. This is what revival does for the church.

Just as a rushing river refreshes stagnant pools, revival reinvigorates believers. It replenishes our spiritual reservoirs, renews our commitment to our faith, and redirects our focus towards expanding God's righteous Kingdom rule in the world. As Ezekiel observed, "This water flows toward the eastern region and goes down into the Arabah, where it enters the Dead Sea. When it empties into the sea, the salty water there becomes fresh" (Ezekiel 47:8).

A powerful river doesn't just flow within its existing banks; it carves new channels. Similarly, revival propels us beyond the familiar confines of our church walls. It creates new pathways into our communities, carrying the life-giving message of God's love to those who are spiritually parched.

Rivers have the power to wash away accumulated debris. In the same way, revival cleanses our spiritual lives of the buildup of routine, the sediment of complacency, and the flotsam of going through the motions. As these are swept away, we gain a clearer view of our purpose and role in God's plan.

A river brings life to barren lands along its banks. Revival spreads believers throughout society like water nourishing dry soil. We become wellsprings of faith in unexpected places, empowered to nurture growth, foster change, and cultivate spiritual fruit in our spheres of influence. Ezekiel's vision speaks to this transformative power: "Fruit trees of all kinds will grow on both banks of the river. Their leaves will not wither, nor will their fruit fail. Every month they will bear fruit, because the water from the sanctuary flows to them. Their fruit will serve for food and their leaves for healing" (Ezekiel 47:12).

It's important to understand that revival isn't meant to be a flash flood, but a constant, powerful flow. It's not a one-time event, but a sustained force that continually renews and reshapes the church. This river reminds us that our spiritual journey is ongoing—requiring constant movement and growth as we work to expand God's righteous Kingdom rule on earth.

As these life-bestowing waters surge, they not only revive our souls but also erode the barriers of indifference, carving fresh avenues of empathy and selfless dedication. 

The prophetic call compels us to immerse ourselves in the overwhelming river of God's grace, as illustrated in Ezekiel 47. As we surrender to its depths, we find that it is not our strength but His divine power that carries us forth. This river, fierce and unrelenting, will sweep us up, transforming us from within. It is through this miraculous work of God in and through us that we are equipped to share the life-altering message of Christ, reaching every parched soul and desolate place, revealing the abundant life that flows within His kingdom.

Welcome back to the Power of Five podcast with Dr. Michael Gretchko, a teaching pillar at Pneuma Church in Melbourne, Australia. In our last session, we explored Ephesians chapter four and the call to walk worthy of Christ's purpose.

Today, we continue our discussion, delving into the significance of Jesus' work on the cross, His ascension, and what that means for the church. We will also explore the role of the Fivefold ministry in equipping God's people for ministry.

In Ephesians 4:7-10, the apostle Paul emphasizes that grace has been given to each believer according to the measure of Christ's gift. This grace is not only for individual believers but also for the collective body of Christ. Paul quotes Psalm 68 and explains that Jesus, upon ascending, led a host of captives and gave gifts to men. These gifts refer to the fivefold ministry: apostles, prophets, evangelists, shepherds, and teachers.

It is essential to understand that there are two types of gifts given to believers. Firstly, every believer has been given spiritual gifts that enable them to serve others. These gifts are for the common good and building up of the body of Christ. Secondly, the fivefold ministry itself is a gift to the church. The apostles, prophets, evangelists, shepherds, and teachers are given by God to equip the saints for the work of ministry.

The work of ministry involves using spiritual gifts to serve both the church and the world. Every believer is called to use their gifts to serve others, building up the body of Christ. The fivefold ministry plays a crucial role in preparing and equipping believers for their unique ministries. By guiding and teaching, the fivefold ministry helps believers grow to maturity.

To understand the concept of maturity discussed in Ephesians 4:13, we must look beyond the idea of flawless perfection. The Greek word used for maturity, "taleos," signifies completion and stages of learning, advancing, and maturing. It is not about achieving sinless perfection but about becoming mature, like the fullness of Christ.

Being mature in Christ means being able to do what Jesus did—making disciples, praying, teaching, healing the sick, preaching, and revealing the kingdom of God. The fivefold ministry is instrumental in equipping believers to serve in these areas. They function as different aspects of Christ working together to make believers more like Him.

In our Western culture, we often focus on personal achievements and personal ministries. However, the New Testament teaches that our aim should be to become like Christ, not the best version of ourselves. Our growth and maturity should mirror the fullness of Christ, as demonstrated through His teachings and actions.

As believers, we need the guidance and equipping of the fivefold ministry to reach this level of maturity. They play a significant role in teaching, empowering, and modeling Christ-likeness. Through their efforts, believers are prepared to serve the church and the world effectively.
