- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5There is a lot of confusion about the apostolic and prophetic ministry in my denomination. This book has helped me understand what this gift entails, how it can be recognized and encouraged for the growth local churches and kingdom extension.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I have been sent forth by Christ Himself, He cam into my presence, touched me and said now GO, You are purposed. Come and Move Lord. I say YES to You.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Wonderful explanation of an apostle but didn’t find the definition of a prophet to be accurate. A prophet isnt called or anointed to inspect or critique the apostolic. Other than that GREAT material

Introduction
Peter told the believers that they were stewards of the manifold grace of God. This means that every follower of Christ has the responsibility to grow and develop in their God-given gifts. In addition, they are to be faithful in ministering to others. The Kingdom Stewards Series was created to help believers understand their gifts and ministries. It is designed to bring clarity to the purpose and functions of spiritual gifts and ministries. It is our prayer that believers will grow in the recognition, acceptance, and operation of the gifts of God.
