After coming into the understanding through the Word of God that many are called and few are chosen, I discovered that many people have associated ministry, particularly Pastoral Ministry with gathering people together and perhaps even with renting space for a meeting in a store front building.
They put the sign on the building, and last but not least print cards saying “Welcome to an Open Door Church “with a Calling from God. I believe that when God calls us He prepares, trains and then He sends us in His Kingdom Order.
When God places us in any form of a leadership role, He has already thought it through. He said we must do things decent and in order.Remember Adam came first and then came Eve. It’s not that God favors man over woman but it’s the order and the male’s position.
God is so accurate He knows the number of hairs upon each one of our heads.Every member in the Body of Christ is called to minister, but in order for the church to function properly she must be in the right order.
The head can’t be where the foot should be (I Cor. 12:1-4). God is no respecter of persons, in Him there is no gender, male nor female, because of His omnipotence, which is all knowing. God makes no mistakes. He is so accurate He knows the number of hairs upon each one of our heads.
Adam was the first man put on the earth than Eve. Eve was created from the side of Adam. A woman should walk along side of a man not in front or behind but along side of him, rather he is her pastor, spouse, father or brother or any male figure, why?
Because of the demonic evil forces and the enmity that the devil has against her, the devil hates women in particular; he will war against the church just to destroy her, because he knows she carries the seed to produce more kings like Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. A woman is the most precious vessel that God created, and He wants her protected against the attacks of the enemy.
The burden and weight that comes with leadership especially, pastoral ministry comes with a lot of opposition, a man is a protector. A woman is made to nurture; and be loved. In most instance a man has been behind most successful women her dad, spouse or a male figure that’s the way God planned it before the foundation of the world (Eph 1:4).
God said in His word that man shall rule over a woman as a result of Eve’s sin. The word rule that God gave unto man over a woman is not a slavery type of ruling, remember it’s his position he’s a protector. Eve’s influence caused Adam to disobey God and as a result that was the rule that God spoke of, His word is still in effect.
A woman is very influential, she is very helpful to any man with making decisions, Eve, influenced Adam. Even with her influence that caused Adam to fall God didn’t hold the woman responsible, why?Because God gave the order to Adam and he was responsible for every decision made.
Women if you have a spouse remember that God holds the man accountable for every decision that is made for his family, not the woman. Remember it’s the man’s position! Hallelujah.
The rulers of darkness of this world have brought influence to ones such as Women Liberation and the media has said “a woman can do anything that a man can do” and many of our young women are listening, but that’s a lie from the devil.A woman is like night and day in comparison to a man.
I believe that God has given women great gifts and talents and they are to be used to help the men. Yes, God has called many great women to the Five Fold Ministry, and Pastoral Ministry; some were and still are widows and single women but their covering is their pastor or a male figure, that is the order of God and the joy of the Lord is our strength.
Women, obedience is better than sacrifice, God wants us to triumph and have dominion and influence as we walk in our kingship knowing that God is King of Kings and be ready when He calls us for His purpose. Jesus is Lord!
When I hear the words all sold out, it makes me think is there anything left, well yes; that is the answer. Sold to the highest bidder, who is Christ Jesus.
When we sell out to Christ there should not be anything left. Our heart and mind should be given completely all over to God.
Many of us give God some of us, but not all of us, we keep a plan B.We tell ourselves that I’ll hold onto this or that just in case things don’t turn out right, and we do it secretly, hoping that no one will know but God knows the heart of mankind ( Heb 4:12) that’s why He said in His Word,man’s heart is deceitful & wicked (Jer 17:9) only God knows what’s in a mans heart.
No man knows what’s in his heart except God.The very thing that you may decide to hold on to may be the very thing that can separate you from God, there’s no little or big sin. Let us let nothing separate us from the love of God.
God said to come unto Him just like you are marked-up, cut-up, scared, and ashamed. God knows what’s best for you. Even in your best your best isn’t good enough. Our righteousness is like filthy rags. (Is 64:6)
We must realize that we must come before God naked, and not be ashamed of our flaws, imperfections and the sin in our lives.God knows us so well, down to the very hair strains on our head,(Matt 10:30)He said that we all have fallen short of the Glory of God, (Rom 3:23) there’s not one,as long as we are in a flesh body, temptation will present itself, but God said He has made a way of escape(I Cor. 10:13) especially when we have sold out to Him.
As I’m writing I can hear the Holy Spirit saying I am the highest bidder saith the Lord, for there is no man on earth that can pay a price higher than I can for you. I have redeemed you at a cost that is non-negotiable, you are priceless, there is no higher bidder then Me saith the Lord.I want the best for you, and the plan that I have for you no man, woman, boy or girl can give you, saith God.
Selling out truly puts us in a place of holiness, God said to be holy, and that is what He truly desires. When we die to self and the things of this world our lives take on newness and a new direction, we become a new creation. The old desires that we had passes away, and new vision starts to set in, and everything becomes new, the blessing of the Lord have no sorrows.Sell out!
Remember you have been sold to the highest bidder who is Jesus.He counts and thinks of you more than any silver and gold.He sees you as a diamond that is in the raw.There’s not a higher bidder than Jesus.Sell out to Him so you may be all sold out.Going once, going twice, sold to the highest bidder, and His name is Jesus.Jesus is Lord!
