The Diverse Workings - Part 1 - by Dr. Frans J. Cronje

Of all the manifestations of God through the lives of believers, this one – the variety of operations or the diverse workings – seems to be shrouded in the greatest ambiguity. Most people have at least a basic understanding of the distinctions between – for instance -- the gifts of the Holy Spirit, although this is often confused with the fruit of the Holy Spirit. Similarly, the offices of ministry – popularly known as the fivefold ministry – are fairly familiar; they include apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers. However, the manifestation of the workings, operations or activities of God remains rather poorly understood in my experience. Also, these gifts, ministries and workings are associated with new Testament theology, with very little continuity across all of Scripture. The objective of this presentation is therefore twofold: firstly, to attempt to clarify the distinctions, and the importance of the distinctions, within a New Testament framework, and then secondly, to explore the nature and character of the diverse workings within the greater continuity of Scripture – from Genesis to Revelation.
