Father, I thank you that Jesus has appointed for me apostles, prophets, evangelist, pastors and teachers to prepare me for works of service. They are His gift to me to build me up towards a unity of faith with all the saints, in the knowledge of Jesus, so that I may become mature and attain the full measure of Christ (the anointed one and His anointing) in my life. (Eph. 4:11-13)
