teaches, "If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task."
It is a good thing to desire to serve in vocational ministry.
The first way to discover whether you have a call to ministry is to determine if there is a compelling desire or motivation to serve Christ in this way.
1.) Determine if there is a compelling desire or motivation to serve Christ in this way.
2.) Consider your abilities and spiritual gifts.
God usually connects us with opportunities that match our abilities to serve Him and others.
A person who teaches well would likely fit a teaching ministry; a musician would likely serve better in a role of leading music; a person with medical skills will likely best serve in a medical role.
3.) PRAY.
God tells us to pray for wisdom when we need it ().
As we pray, God will respond through various ways to help guide us.
4.) Consider current opportunities.
Are people already asking you to help in ministry roles?
Do you happen to live in a place where a minister with your abilities is clearly needed?
Sometimes God opens clear opportunities to show us where and how He desires for us to serve.
5.) Counsel of other believers.
A pastor, church leader, or trusted friend can help you discuss ministry questions and issues to better think through the process.
notes, "Where there is no guidance, a people falls, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety."
A sixth consideration is to recognize there is high cost to serving in ministry.
For example, :1says, "Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness."
Vocational ministers are called to closer scrutiny and a higher standard than others.
