Apostles
God created us as individuals and simultaneously prepared something specific for each of us to do. We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.[1]

CLARIFYING APOSTLESHIP, ETC
There is considerable fussing and fuming over apostles and apostleship these days. When a topic like apostleship becomes trendy, some who are not really called or graced as apostles—for a variety of unsanctified reasons—try to be apostles. Others, who are genuinely graced and called, prematurely attempt to make their own place within an old religious system rather than waiting upon the Lord to reveal His divine intention for them and their servanthood.[1]
Recovering the Apostolic Way
The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is in a battle. Kingdoms are at war for the souls of men. The Church must again dig deep to return to the ancient paths of biblical Christianity. We have lost our way and most don’t even know it, because what we do and how we do it is all we have ever seen. I can’t but feel sorry for them and thank the Lord everyday for His grace in my life. Because, you see, I once lived in that rat race.
In Simple Terms: The Value of a True Apostle to the Church
A child, living in a home without the presence of a father does not recognize all that he is lacking because of that void. The same is true with the Body of Christ: The typical believer is unaware of the barrenness of the Body without the apostolic gift.
