The Purpose Of Ministry Callinging

Ministry Calling,

The purpose of Ministry Calling is to glorify, to submit, to serve, and to please God.

For many years while growing up in an Apostolic Pentecostal church setting. I always heard our pastor talk about serving the Lord and how he was the happiest. Nevertheless, Pastor F.L. Sartin has always asked me this one question as a teenager. Has God called you to ministry? I thought all Christians are called to serve the cause of Christ; God calls certain persons to serve the church as pastors and other ministers. I just knew it wasn’t me because I was nobody!

But one day we had a visiting minister preaching a revival, Bishop J.J. Bourn Senior read a scripture in 1 Timothy 3:1-2 and he said “Son what’s your name? Because this scripture

The pastor or elder must evaluate, and affirm the calling and gifts of the believer who I believe if called to the ministry. It 's a process or a conversion that 's not one-size fits all, but discernment and prayer must be sought out to hear and to seek out the will of God, because Jesus was the son of a Carpenter who tailored the needs of his people.

Worship

Worship is a time when we pay deep, sincere, awesome respect, love and fear to the one who created us. Acts 17:24-25 says. “God Who made the world and everything in it, since he is Lord of heaven and earth. Does not dwell in temples made with hands, as though be needed anything. Since he gave life, breath, and all things.”

Generally speaking, a person who is in the process of Ministry calling cannot be fully called without the act of Worship. As shown above, to answer the call, you must Worship! The definition of worship is, “the feeling or expression of reverence and adoration for a deity. We were created to show reverence and adoration to the God who created us. We have this desire to honor with religious rites. For the most part, I believe one must have a priority of worship in their walk with Christ. True worship is a matter of the heart expressed through a lifestyle of

In Jeremiah 10:23 “O, Lord. I know that the way of man is not in himself. It is not in man who walks to direct his own steps.” Throughout man’s history, we are not granted the option of directing our own ways in religion. God is the One who we look to for guidance and direction in our lives.

With worship I have learned is an art of a relationship that God yearns to commune with one whom he called or the person who invited him. Therefore, in Exodus 34:8 God spoke with Moses about the thousand generations of rebellious children of Israel, and how he still loved them. But Moses reaction was, “Moses immediately threw himself to the ground and worshipped.” Be pleaded and ask God to find favor with him (Moses). Worship altogether is more than an act, response, emotions, and words it 's a lifestyle of holiness and desire to with God.

To summarize the meaning of ministry calling and worship should cause one to reflect on the majesty and graciousness of God and Christ, contrasted to our own unworthiness. Our worship not only honors and magnifies God, but it is also of our own edification and strength. Worship helps us develop a God like and Christ like character. We become like unto those we admire and worship. When we worship God, we tend to value what God values and gradually take on the characteristics and qualities of God. In James 4:8 says, “Draw near to God and He will
