Fivefold Office: 15
Rev. Robert Ampiah-Kwofi

Even men who stand in the same office can differ greatly in their operations.
John the Baptist was the last of the Old Testament prophets.
Matthew 11:13 NKJV
“For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.”

John indeed was a prophet but his ministry stood on the veracity of his words about Christ because John did not do any miracles.
John 10:41 NKJV
“And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true.”

Prophets like Elijah and Elisha were miracle working prophets whose authority rested on their miracles for Elisha was accepted when he parted the Jordan just as Elijah did.
2 Kings 2:14 NKJV
“And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is the LORD God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither: and Elisha went over.”

The other prophets of lesser rank came and submitted themselves to Elisha when they saw the miracle.
2 Kings 2:15 NKJV
“And when the sons of the prophets which were to view at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him.”

Other Old Testament prophets were inspired to write Scriptures like Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Isaiah, but neither Elijah nor Elisha wrote any books.
Luke 4:17 NKJV
“And He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written:”

Indeed Christ quoted extensively from Isaiah’s writings.
Luke 4:18a NKJV
“The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me,
Because He has anointed Me
To preach the gospel to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted…. ;”
May you operate according to the grace that Christ has given to you. May you shine in your own area, in Jesus name.
