Give Your Pastor Fruit To Work With
#GAL2V2KJV Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with me also.
2 And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain.
Many just cold call their Pastor and declare they are called to be a Prophet or an Evangelist or Teacher— with no fruit, no submission and no history of helps service.
A VALUABLE TYPE OF SEED ONE MUST SOW BEFORE ONE ENTERS PUBLIC MINISTRY OR GOD HAS NOTHING TO WORK WITH.
First of all only the first Apostles were Anointed to be Apostles within a decade of their conversion— even Paul didn’t operate as an Apostle within a decade of his calling to be an Apostle— he started off as a witness— as all true believers are— then he developed into boldly preaching the word then after about 14 years of being a Teacher/Prophet did he operate as a Apostle—HE GREW INTO HIS CALLING.
What Paul did do is give fruit for his pastor and Bishops to work with by stirring the gift— preaching/teaching the Word of God and operating in whatever the Holy Spirit unctioned him to do. Thus signs and wonders followed this believer[notice I’m NOT calling him an Apostle as of yet— God Himself endorsing Paul the believer — in his case few did because of his past.
So, many will approach their Pastor with no fruit in the basket and ask for their blessing at best — at worst, tell the Pastor what they are going to do and who they suddenly are.
So, what is a Pastor to do with that but say: NO! I don’t bear witness with you being a fivefold officer— even if indeed that is their calling or destiny down the road— if they are faithful in the little things— their office will manifest in the conscience of others— especially their ordained Pastor.
Peace and love as you work out your own salvation,
