“For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God.” Romans 13:1
While the church itself has special services to ordain men as pastors and deacons to offices in the church, it should also be recognized that each believer in Christ Jesus is ordained by God himself to work on his behalf as duly committed believers. We may not be ordained to a church office, but we are appointed to be a fruitful Christian. We are chosen to represent our God and teach to others the ways of Christ. When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we become accepted into his one and only church. We are then given the rights, the privileges and the responsibilities that come with this great honor. We are to live our lives as examples of our God. We are to teach others about his ways and how he expects us to live. We are to pray for others and console those who are in troubles they cannot climb out of. We are ordained by our God to be his representative as one who follows his ways and, in some cases, become living bibles to those around us. When we accept Jesus, we are appointed to his ways and his powers. We don’t have to be a minister to actually minister to others. The Lord has given us power through him to help others using his ways and under his conditions. We must read and study his word, pray and communicate with him, and praise him each day for the honor he has bestowed upon each of us. We all have a ministry. Let us not be neglectful of our duties. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
