Apostle George created a doc. 2 mins Call: key to fulfilment! So far, we have discussed four of the fundamental C’s: Conversion>Consecration>Commitment>Communion. We will now zero in on the fifth C: Call. Every saint is called into ministry. There is no middle ground or grey area concerning this absolute fact and truth: all saints are an integral part of the Royal Priesthood of Yahshua, Jesus wired with all it takes to do the work of ministry. 1 Peter 2:9-10 9But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light; 10Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. The power of religion is sustained in the New Testament Church when some leaders retain the Old Testament mindset concerning the priest hood. In that mindset which Yahweh yearns to renew and transform, the priesthood is reserved for a select few who alone have access to Him while the vast majority are basically a “laity” who need the mediation of the “clergy” to be able to access the mysteries and blessings of heaven. When Yahshua, Jesus came, one of the things He came to do was to effectively end the Levithical or Aaronic order and continue the Order of Melchisedek which predated Moses, mediator of the Old Covenant! Hebrews 7:21-22 21(For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:) 22By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament. The Covenant Yahshua, Jesus came to seal is an extraordinary one. It calls for all humans of all races, gender, age, socio-economic status, education to become the ONE NEW MAN of Yahweh! Ephesians 2:14-22 14For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; 15Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; 16And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: 17And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. 18For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. 19Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; 20And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; 21In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: 22In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit. The New Covenant creates a Kingdom of Priests and Kings. These are priests who minister to Elohim and to humans. They are also to function as kings who exercise authority of the King of Kings to rule affairs of planet earth from the spiritual realm on this side of eternity. Saints in this covenant are vested with the ability to represent King Yahshua where they are by spiritual gifts they receive without any human effort as part of their identity in Yahshua, as members of His Body. First level Call: ministry of reconciliation From the day we receive Yahshua, Jesus into our hearts and become converted and translated into the Kingdom, a weight of responsibility comes upon us, requiring us to be instruments through which others will be reconciled back to Yahweh our heavenly Father. 2 Corinthians 5:17-21 17Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.18And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;19To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 20Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christs stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. What Paul shared by the Spirit is consistent with what Yahshua, Jesus practised and taught. He recruited unlearned fisher men; corrupt Tax Collectors and ordinary folks, disciple and commissioned them. He also asked disciples to pray for the Father to send more labourers. Unfortunately, Christian Religion prospers by disobeying Him and creating a special priestly caste which rules a large, dormant laity that warms the pews! The time has come to return back to the pattern set by the King and Master Himself! Matthew 4: 18-20: 18 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed him. John 15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. John 4: 34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. 35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.36 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. In these scriptures, we see that shortly before He ascended to heaven, Yahshua commissioned every one to serve in ministry of reconciling the lost to Him and becoming Ambassadors of His blessed Kingdom! Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen. Acts 1:8 8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. As it was in the early Church when saints congregated to be taught, trained, equipped and activated to take their places as vibrant, organic parts of Yahshua, Jesus, so has He appointed to do with His remnant in the Kingdom Church of the End Times! This is why He raised Global School of Ministry to use as instrument of providing resources for all saints worldwide who are willing to obey their Master. As saints, we need to understand the following: *Yahweh has already wired us spiritually for ministry with Spiritual Gifts - 1 Corinthians 12;Romans 12:3–8; Ephesians 4:1-7, 11-12; 1 Peter 4:10-11. * Ministry is simply the EXPRESSION OF WHAT WE ARE IMPRESSED WITH by Holy Spirit. Ministry is not and cannot be the clerical robe and collar which a select few wear neither is it the work done from the pulpit alone. * Because of the above, ministry in the New Covenant Concept of the Kingdom is received in the realm of our spirit-man. Therefore it has nothing to do with our gender, age, race, ethnicity, educational attainments or any other humanistic consideration. Galatians 3:26-29 * Apart from the exercise of spiritual discipline in the case of an erring brother or sister, no human being has a right to hinder another saint from releasing what Holy Spirit already deposited on account of race, age, gender or other such natural considerations. * Any group, denomination or practice which divides the House of God on account of gender, age, status may well be fighting Holy Spirit who deposited the gifts in those He vested them! Galatians 3:26-29 26For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29And if ye be Christs, then are ye Abrahams seed, and heirs according to the promise. Each member of the Body of Yahshua, Jesus finds the appointed place and role according to the quantum of spiritual gifts that have been vested by Holy Spirit right from the date of new birth when He sealed them into Yahshua, Jesus till when they experience the fullness of Him in Baptism in the Holy Spirit. Romans 12:4-8 4For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: 5So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another. 6Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; 7Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching; 8Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness. 1 Corinthians 12 1Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. 2Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led. 3Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. 4Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. 6And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. 7But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. 8For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; 9To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; 10To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: 11But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will. Ephesians 4 4There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;5One Lord, one faith, one baptism,6One God and Father of all, who is above all,and through all, and in you all. 7But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. 1 Peter 4:10-11 10As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. 11If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion forever and ever. Amen. God has given to the Church Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors and Teachers to equip the saints to step into this great role so that the middle wall of partition that separates clergy from laity is torn down. This will lead to a situation where every saint discovers, pursues and fulfils the call of Yahweh on their lives. When this becomes a reality, the Body of Yahshua, Jesus will not be filled with unstable souls ever learning and confused. Rather, the Body will become functionally connected and mutually edified and strengthened by what every joint supplies. Ephesians 4:11-16 11And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:13Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 14That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:16From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love. Down the wire: key Points to Note Yahweh has created, redeemed and called every individual member of His family for a specific purpose on this side of eternity. True success in the Kingdom therefore is not accumulation of material stuff but to know and walk in the calling of Yahweh. Until you discover and walk in this specific calling, you are still carnal and a babe! Romans 14:17-18 17For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. 18For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men. Matthew 6:30-34 30Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? 31Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 33But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 34Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. 2. Every saint is called to ministry. It is your fundamental spiritual right to know who you are in the spirit; accept what Yahweh has called you to be and to do as part of the holy and functional organic Body of Yahshua. 3. One of the best things which can happen to you is to prayerfully discover and connect humbly with the vessel Yahweh ordained and equipped to train or mentor you into your assigned ministry. Do not get a mentor for yourself neither should you put Yahweh in a box by insisting such a vessel must conform to your carnal expectations or denominational and cultural mindset. Just pray with sincerity and allow Him to speak or supernaturally order your steps into that connection. Humble yourself and approach the vessel with what Yahweh told you and follow instructions. Proof that such a vessel is ordained by Him will show in your deeper understanding of the Word including passages you thought you knew before; spiritual growth, productivity in the Kingdom and ability to reproduce after your kind. 2 Timothy 21Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. 4. Although everyone is called into ministry, this does not negate the need for and the authority vested in fivefold leadership which is simply the headship gifts of Yahshua in the Kingdom church. The five fold will always exist on this side of eternity. They are not to work alone as lone rangers but as part of a spiritual team Yahshua will use cooperatively to release the quantum of Grace which the saints need to be perfected and mature. Saints are to embrace, accept, love and appreciate the fivefold as vessels Yahshua sends to them. 5. Realize that Yahweh always processes those He calls. There is a process of time and circumstances between the Call to the Commissioning of a vessel. Noah, Abraham, Moses, Joseph, David, Yahshua Jesus, the 12 Disciples and Paul were all called, processed and released into enduring ministry AT THE RIGHT TIME. 6. As an individual, you must give yourself over to know how Yahweh calls us, the various ways He speaks to us and how to respond promptly to His call. 7. As an individual, you also need to submit to a process of training and equipping in order to do enduring ministry built on the solid ground of character. God has raised the Global School of Ministry for the purpose of preparing you in this regard. God has also graciously given a release for much of the training to be conducted via face book and in your email box. 8. It is your responsibility to realise and deal with constraints which may impair your ability to be all that Yahweh ordained you to be. 9. Do not be like many who make a ship wreck of their faith when: they do not prepare but presumptuously plunge into ministry or function in ignorance - Hosea 4:6. Such people generally disdain training, claiming that Holy Spirit has taught them all things. 10. The worst offenders are those who reject the plain teaching of the Word of Yahweh altogether and opt for Babylon’s dichotomy of clergy versus laity. 11. If you are a Pastor, Overseer or privileged in any way to lead saints, realise that they are not your members or members of your Church. they are members of Yahshua, Jesus - functional parts of His Body in the earth realm. Your main assignment is to be used by Holy Spirit to process and empower them to be all that they were created and redeemed to be! Do not allow humanistic thinking or denominational dogma to negate this truth! If you do not know how to accomplish this, please get in touch and we shall provide you free of charge a process and curriculum through which all saints committed to your trust can discover, pursue and fulfil ministry as part of an organic whole that you lead. The resources are available, free of charge! Strangely, let us note that without a sense of a call and tendency to empower saints, a minister will never experience true fulfilment. He or she may gather a crowd of fans but not lead according to the divine pattern as 1 Corinthians 3:10-15 shows which leads to real danger of future regrets on the day of testing by fire. This is because such people tend to do ministry as a profession for the purpose of economic and social advancement. Love of money and other material things can displace devotion to Yahshua our King and Head. This will lead such people to backsliding or apostasy. Philippians 3:17-21 17Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample. 18(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.) 20For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: 21Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself. 12. For saints, this may be hard but nevertheless one of the most outstanding truths you can receive: any where you call home Church which has no path way for you to become an able minister of the New Testament in a given space of time on account of your gender, age, socio-economic status, politica views or indeed any other consideration is NOT THE PLACE TO BE! You are NOT PART of it and should do yourself a favour by finding out from your heavenly Father in prayer what He will have you do. Moreover, it is imperative that you study the articles of faith, constitution, by laws and other governing laws of any ministry and ask the leadership questions before you commit to membership! If you need to leave, do so without drama! Send a note thanking the Pastor and move on to wait on the King until He speaks. Mean while, just visit with congregations until He speaks clearly. In any case you can obtain training, free of charge while under such bondage environments through the internet - just like this course! No man can police truth out of your life or keep you away from truth - except you freely give them such permission. Yahweh has used the internet, especially Face book to break religious boxes of denominations for ever!
