God Has Chosen You – Part 1
Dr RJ Sing · 1 min read
“And let them also be tried and investigated and proved first; then, if they turn out to be above reproach, let them serve [as deacons].”
When God chooses people and places them in the church, He has a purpose and plan for them. Further, He is looking for qualities in His sons and daughters. These qualities are important in order for you to be a help minister. Let us now examine some of them:
1. Be proven Faithful First: 1 Timothy 3:10 – Often people want to jump right into a position. They may even be talented, gifted and well prepared for that position. However, the scripture says that we must be proven faithful first, before entering a key position.
Your Pastor needs to see first that you are dependable, a person of integrity and qualified for that particular area of ministry. It may take some time to prove yourself to your Pastor.
Don’t be discouraged when you are not immediately put into a prominent position of leadership. Your Pastor is only being scriptural by seeing your faithfulness first.
