The day of being ordained

It is now less than 12 hours before the ordination service

We who are being ordained today no matter where we are remember there’s is now no turning back. Some key points today are 1. have a team of people with you. I mean surround yourself with people who want to support you in your ministry in a positive way. Most who are being ordained today have been with God major part of their lives. Now when we see this ordination service it seals the deal. Meaning it recognize you been called out to do even more within your ministry God has called you into.

One thing is this have you been called or chosen by man because of your faithfulness in your walk with God. Two point to look at is the difference between God’s calling and men’s appointed one. It deals with your love factor. Many goes to work but hates their job. It’s a living but somebody has to do it. I have heard this for a long time. The truth is serving God comes from having compassion for doing what God has ordained you to do. We are be commissioned to go out and tell others the goodness of God. Making disciples and baptizing other in the name of the Father Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach them to observe all thing that Jesus has taught you. Matthew 28/:18-20.

Being ordained show us in our spirit we are being set apart for a ministry to what we been appointed to by God or men. Being set apart means you are now and always hold a place in the ministry. God given us a specific task to do and once we review that certificate of ordination it’s stating this person has now in the presence of God and other will perform that function of that ministry. Make sure what you are about to do is that what God has given you to do. Do it not because of man, but because now God is saying this is your appointed time.

As we move forward all God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit to work in us on a daily. Don’t be prideful but humble yourself in the Lord. You are not doing it for yourself, but it’s all about building up the kingdom of god through your calling. In my 7 years of being an evangelist, I have preached the word and witness to other but without the love and compassion to do that work God has called me to do everything is useless. I learned to wait on him , I learned to walk in his ways. I learned who I am in Jesus Christ. Many other things I have learned over the years but it was the spirit inside of me who gave me the guidance aloong the way. For those who are being ordained for the first time or moving up into a new position it’s all comes down to being fixed on God to continuing doing as he has said. With that service before us a reminder we need to spend time every day with God and obe I’my him. Get closer to God in knowing God plan for what your doing in the ministry.

Final thought is this being ordained to me is liken to a spiritual wedding. You have witnesses to see you being ordained. You now been ordained, but with this ordination you are given rights to do within the church. Communion, led worship, preach the word, and others rights you can do according to your ministry. In a wedding you make your vows in the presence of God and others. So it is with being ordained, you are now saying before God and man you taking this leap of faith, you will work out your ministry according to the guidelines that was written out by the Bible. I will do such wonderful works so people could see the power of God working in my life. Marriage should last until your lifetime, so shall your ministerial work. It’s not something you put on the self and leave it there or a certificate that shows people you been ordained. It letting people know of what God has done for you and what he is doing through you.

Many get ordained because they want to. People want to make a money because being ordained means a lot to them. I am referring to people who get ordained not because of a calling of God but because they feel it need. People goes through lots of training to be ordain as a minister. With this comes responsibility, the responsibility not to waste it for gain but to use it for the purpose of your calling. This ordination service give a person a charge to do what he has been called to. Within this charge it’s saying to me and to the onlookers God vessel is about to be use for good work.

To all who will be ordained today throughout this word reminder this. You now have a work to do. You have now shown people in public and before God you will bea servant of God according to your ministry. We no longer in the background we are upfront and in person. God has the need of use to continue his work through us. It’s all about building his kingdom. Therefore what ever you being ordained to do do it with love for God and not out of vanity. What it is, is this God use me to the best of my abilities. Keep me under subjection to you will and towards your way.

My prayers for everyone is let God use you according to what he called you into.
