This book is a clear biblical approach to understanding the gift and ministry of the apostle and their relationship to local elders and other ministries involved in the ongoing work of the ministry. Apostolic oversight and impartation are both essential to the maturation of the body of Messiah. Together they live and serve to train and equip the body of Messiah for the works of service. The Ekklesia must receive and embrace apostolic fathers in order to become all that Yahshua has purposed. Blake Higginbotham is an apostle with a prophetic word for the Ekklesia. He was born again and filled with the Spirit in 1970 and for 37 years has served in several areas of ministry. He and his wife pioneered a work and pastored for 15 years; but now travel apostolically, singing, preaching, teaching and relating to ministers and business men and women both nationally and internationally. They are involved in leadership training and conference speaking on a monthly basis. Blake Higginbotham is a man with a passion for the eternal purpose of Yahweh and believes that he was born to serve the King, therefore nothing else really matters.
