Have you experienced that nudging of the Spirit lately? You know ... the one that calls you to act upon what He has taught you in Scripture. The one that calls you to step into the advancement of His Kingdom?
As you begin your walk in that calling, remember that there is a critical step you must take before taking that first step.
And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ,
Ephesians 4:11-12 [NKJV]
Are you leading a ministry ... perhaps a youth group, or a praise team? Do you truly and intimately know the scriptural basis for that ministry? Are you fulfilling its purpose as defined in God's word? Too many men and women find themselves in leadership positions without the deep training in God's word that is necessary to function in that role. And the responsibility is borne by all involved.
So, before you take that bold step, seek out a teacher of the Word. Someone who can and will bring out the deep and hard truths of the Bible. Someone who will equip you to serve faithfully and effectively.
Do this today, that you will be blessed tomorrow.
Be encouraged, Jose
