Set Apart for Ministry

 

Dear beloved: Pics, Buseresere, TZ, Crusade; Tarime, TZ, Crusade

Acts 13:1 Now at the church that was at Antioch, there were certain prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucious of Cyrene, Manaen, who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. v2 As they ministered to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, "Now separate to me Barnabas and Saul for the work which I have called them." v3 Then, having fasted and prayed, and laid hands on them, they sent them away. v4 So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia, and from there they sailed to Cyprus.

Beloved, the Holy Spirit of God will guide you into the truth in all things, yes, even things to come. You can see in the above Scripture, the Holy Spirit spoke to these brethren, and they all heard the command clearly and obeyed. Scripture doesn't go into detail about if they were seeking divine callings, it just says they were ministering to the Lord and fasting.  When the Spirit speaks, you have an opportunity to obey or say no thank you. When you continually say yes to the leading of the Holy Spirit, you will be led into a place that will not be of your own choosing.  That is the Apostolic calling, through that the Sauls of the world become the Apostle Paul. Little did Saul know that he would end up traversing the roads of Asia, the seas and islands of the Mediterranean, and become the most noted Apostle and Evangelist to the Gentile nations of Asia and Europe.  When people in Kenya ask me how I chose to come to Kenya to minister, I just politely say, "I didn't choose it. God did." Kenya, nor any other place in Africa was high on my bucket list.  But for God......  We invite you to partner with Gather the Outcasts as we take the good news of the Gospel to the nations of Africa.  Even donations of $50 or $100 per month will go a long way to reaching the lost here, and providing food for the children and widows that we support.  May God bless you as you pray about your part!
