Here the Apostle Paul reveals that there are a diversity of “callings” or ministries in the Church.
Everyone is not called to the same ministry.
However, everyone (particularly Spirit-filled believers) is called to some ministry, from the least () to the greatest ().
Moreover, all of God’s gifts/callings are permanent (; ).
How can we know what ministry we have been called to?
How Do I Discover My Calling (Ministry)?
Through the Gift
The gift determines (reveals) the ministry God has called you to (; , and ).
Notice how the bible shows Philip operating in a gift before identifying his ministry!
“Don’t be in such a hurry to put labels on yourself.
Receive the contents (gift) and then put the label on afterwards.”
— Donald Gee
().
Through Desire
God works through our desires ().
Sometimes our desires are nothing more than selfish ambition ().
Therefore, make sure your desires spring from love or a desire to serve others ().
Through Trail and Error
;
Don’t be afraid to reevaluate your plans if you don’t meet with success.
Through Others
Sometimes our calling is first revealed through someone else ().
My calling into the ministry was first revealed to my father.
How Do I Fulfill My Calling (Ministry)?
By Waiting
Some callings require time (preparation) before you’re able to perform them (, ).
We must wait on the gift before we can fulfill the ministry ().
“Don’t be in such a hurry to put labels on yourself.
Receive the sample (contents) and then put the label on afterwards.”
By Working
“The Lord doesn’t ask for your ability, only your availability; if you prove your dependability, He will increase your capability!”
Most people never fulfill or even discover their calling because they are unfaithful ().
