Preaching and calling

A minister called by God isn’t meant by God to be a good speaker/orator but a prophet because a minister is chosen by God to speak God’s Word which is inspired by and transmitted through the Holy Spirit.

Then another question arises: What is a prophet?

   - an ordinary person who received the call to transmit God’s Word and who pays the price to fulfill the call

   - a person who hears the words of God, who has knowledge from the Most High, who sees a vision from the Almighty, who bows down with eyes wide open

   - a person transformed, educated, called, led, equipped, used and beloved by God, first

   - a person who doesn’t necessarily speak correctly, academically, with emphasis, humbly or without grammar mistakes but the Living Word of God only

   - a person whose purpose to live is for God’s Kingdom and for leading others to live in righteousness

   - a person whose best Friend and Partner is the Holy Ghost 

   - a person who draws more pleasure from getting God’s Word than to receive an increase of pay

   - a person that agonizes when a member (believer) of the Body falls into sin

   - a person unable to go in any other “direction” except the one in which the Wind (God’s Spirit) blows

   - a person that makes disciples and builds up an army of God  

   - a person shaped by God

   - a person who pays the price set before him/her by God, bearing the crown placed by people over his/her head until the Lord takes it off in exchange for His.

   - a person whose tears are counted by God Himself, and a person whose bended knees and arms lifted up – connecting heaven and earth all day and all night  

   - a person who knows how heaven and hells look like

   - a person chased by demons but ministered by angels  

   - a person who gets out of the wilderness in God’s power after being led by God into that same wilderness

   - a person who not only believes and trusts God but also knows, sees and displays God to others

   - a person who brings up the mind of Christ into Christ’s Church

   - a person not caring what happens to him/herself, as long as he/she finishes the work the Lord Jesus gave him/her to accomplish

   - a person to whom the world is not worthy and who does not love his/her life, even to death.

   - a certified preacher by God, a loving-kindness restorer, a tender minister, a great warrior and a spiritual guardian

   - a nobody for those who live by their own carnal desires but a prophet of God for those who want to do God’s will and long to live for Christ, in partnership with the Holy Spirit.

   - a person who doesn’t hesitate to preach and teach anything that would be helpful to others and in public as well as from house to house

   - a person whose teaching and message aren’t delivered with skillful words or human wisdom, but by a display of the Spirit's power

   - a person that brings God’s blessings whenever he/she is received as a prophet of God 

“Therefore, whoever receives a prophet in the name of a prophet receives the reward of the prophet.” Matt. 10:41)
