Is Your Calling From God or man?
Galatians 1:1 Paul, an apostle (not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised Him from the dead)
I honestly do not believe every professed Christian can say this or mean this. Some have gone through the channels of ministry but have never personally heard the call. Why even the internet will allow one to get a ordination. Some take the ministry as a profession. Some are kind of forced into it as well. Yet what Paul says is the most freeing statement known to man concerning his ministry. God called him to this and God will open the doors for His work. If men place you there, men can get you out. If God puts you in ministry, only God can take you out.
Now, personally, I feel so free not having to answer to men about Gods word. Oh, Im fully accountable to men for what I say and do but as long as its Gods word, He has my six! Since Jesus was raised from the dead by the Father, we serve a living God who calls us. There is power in His calling. A dead ministry is not from Him. He is Life! God called me and thats where I want to keep it.
