That you speak fluently or have the gift of the gab does not make you a TEACHER of God’s Word; it’s by CALLING, GRACE and ANOINTING.
That you exhibit choleric tendencies and organize/mobilize people easily does not make you an APOSTLE; it’s by CALLING, GRACE and ANOINTING.
That you’re naturally blunt and assertive does not make you a PROPHET; it’s by CALLING, GRACE and ANOINTING.
That you’re nice and gentle does not make you a PASTOR; it’s by CALLING, GRACE and ANOINTING.
That you’re passionate and have good relational skill does not make you an EVANGELIST; it’s by CALLING, GRACE and ANOINTING.
Truth is that NATURAL ABILITIES are good and desirable but they can never be a REPLACEMENT for MINISTRY GIFTS.
Being an ORATOR does not qualify you as an ORACLE for God. Therefore a sound minister will not confuse NATURAL ABILITIES or PERSONAL SKILLS with MINISTRY GRACE AND ANOINTING.
To be a balanced minister therefore, you must prioritize CALLING, GRACE and ANOINTING while NATURAL ABILITIES or PERSONAL SKILLS are only used as a medium to promote your DIVINE ASSIGNMENT, and not to replace it.
The last days are upon us, and it’s important that we do things decently and in order, for in our time, the Lord Jesus, the Head of the Church, is bringing MINISTRY GIFTS into their full strength, capacity and functionality.
May the Lord find you faithful and worthy of your CALLING.
Maranatha!!!
