*DAILY DEW 9/JULY/2023* *VERIFIABLE SERVICE IS VERIBALE CALLING* _Key Bible Text:_ *“As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away."* (Acts 13:2-3 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ One of the absolute strangest things that I have observed in church circles over the years is people who launch themselves into ministry who were never even serving in their local church consistently. Sir, how is God now calling you to plant a church when you have literally sat in a church for years and never served or sacrificed? The giving records show you never tithed and the attendance record shows your commitment was sporadic. But now suddenly you are a pastor or apostle with a calling from God? Mam, how have you now launched an international women’s ministry when you were known to operate in the jezebel spirit at your church for years? You sowed division and gossip locally but now God has anointed you for the nations? Young people with a calling to ministry, how has God now called you into a new season when you were never faithful to your pastor in the old season? You never even served him while he answered his calling and now you are mad because he won’t bless you into yours? To those who faithfully served in the local church, submitted to church leadership, and then stepped out when it was your time, I applaud you. Your patience and endurance to a process will give you longevity in ministry. To those who launched yourself into ministry without having a prior history of sacrifice and service to another church or ministry, you are headed for a rude awakening. Maybe the issue is not controlling leadership but a root of rebellion and pride in your own heart, _MEDITATION:_ *"To those who served and sacrificed but the church leaders never recognized your “call”, they were either right and you have to accept that or they were wrong and you must heal to make sure you are not doing ministry to prove them or anyone else wrong."* *#Jeremiah_Johnson* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_JULY,2023* ❤ *#Guest_Message* Links To Visit: *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ https://www.facebook.com/thedavidgen/ https://www.facebook.com/THEREVIVALCORPS/ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.
