Romans 11:29, Jude 1:1,John 10:3, Romans 1:6, Romans 8:30
Every believer is called to serve in God's Kingdom in one capacity or the other, with one spiritual gift or the other or in one or more of the 5 fold ministry offices.
Spiritually speaking our call is a high one, our call is a dignified one and it is God who provides the platform for us to minister.
That platform is what the Bible refers to as candle stand, lamp stand or hill. Matthew 5:14, Ephesians 4:11,12, Revelation 1:20
You shine by standing on your platform doing what God tells you to do.
The spiritual calling of God dignifies our lives. And we have all been called to be priests and Kings from a spiritual kingdom to show forth God's praises. 1 Peter 2:9
Your candle stand, lamp stand or hill is your spiritual platform. Your spiritual platform is your ministry office. It's what gives you the legitimate right to do what you are doing. It is Jesus Christ himself who called you to that office spiritually, this is why we have to make the most of our ministries because we must not disappoint our Lord who calls us to spiritual offices and gives us the spiritual gift to function in that office.
Your ministry is your own spiritual area of function.
The ministry of a Pastor is the church he shepherds.
That church becomes the place where his spiritual stand is and where he shines from.
There are divers kinds of ministries and divers kinds of administrations. But it is one Spirit, the Holy Spirit that crafted the operation of them all.
Our ministries, callings and gifts are meant to bring glory to God.
It's God's prerogative who he calls or raises up for the work of the Kingdom.
It can be the least successful, the despised, and misunderstood person or people God chooses and uses for His glory. It is such people that can be called. Eg. David the shepherd boy & Gideon the fearful youth.
1 Corinthians 1:27-29
God can work with your failure, in Christ Jesus nothing is wasted, God puts everything to use.
Some people's failure in the eyes of men is what is qualifying them before God.
Men's reject is God's elect.
This is part of the beauty of God's Kingdom. That those who are despised by this world can be honored and made significant in God's Kingdom.
The Kingdom of God offers a fair and level playing ground for everyone.
That's why the Bible tells us to go to the highways, roadsides and byways and invite everyone who is homeless, lame,and an outcast to the marriage supper of the lamb.
The marriage supper of the lamb is where it's happening, it's happening in God's Kingdom.
That's why we have to invite people to church, we have to compel them to come, because the church assembly is the spiritually authorized place where people learn about the Kingdom.
