I openly admit that my friendships, as few as they are, are for the strict purpose of ministry inheritance. This may sound cold or rude but since I know God’s purpose of friendship, the o-pinions of others matter not to me.

To have true friends (an exchange of identity) is a great personal blessing. Let’s face it, when you add up all your relationships on earth, most people can count on one hand true friends that are thicker than blood. Some of the most painful experiences of life come to us through broken friendships or having those we love turn on us at the first signs of disillusionment.

These manifestations are delivered by the sovereign hand of God (1 Corinthians 12:11). All Christians receive manifestations. The more willing the Christian, the more manifestations there are for them. The less willing the believer, the more a manifestation passes on to another who is saying: Lord, here am I, send me. This is why it appears that God is picking favorites. God is not picking favorite vessels; He simply is picking willing vessels. God is interested in getting His work done (1 Corinthians 12:7). In general, manifestations are given by the moment for the ministry moment.
