!!! We’re going to pick up where we left off last time.
We were talking about those in any ministry position need to be proven 1st. 1 Tim 3:1-7; 8-10
!
I.        In Verse 1 it is talking about an BISHOP or an OVERSEER.
Apparently, an OVERSEER is the same thing as an elder.
!! A.  Within the local church there are Bishop~/Overseers and there are Deacons, and of course there are the rest of the saints.
!!! 1.
An Overseer is one of several people that are spiritual leaders.
There job is to be a spiritual leader, to oversee either the church, or to oversee the souls of the saints in the church.
!!! 2.   There is 1 Head Overseer or 1 Chief Overseer and that is the Senior Pastor.
!!! 3.   Look at Phil 1:1.
!!!! a)    The word bishop or overseer is the Greek word “ep·is·kop·os” Which comes from 2 Greek words, 1 meaning “Over” and the other meaning “Seer or Watchman.”
!!!! b)    The Overseers in the church are the board members.
!!!!! (1)  All the board members could be called bishops, all the associate pastors could be called bishops.
!!!!! (2)  But there is only 1 senior pastor.
!
II.
Now if God does call you to the 5-flod ministry, you need time to be alone with the Lord.
!! A.  He usually wont call you to minister in your home area, not at 1st.
You need to prove yourself 1st.
!!! 1.   Jesus wasn’t received in His home town.
Paul wasn’t received in Jerusalem.
!!!! a)    Now Paul could have come back after he proved himself.
!! B.  If God does call you, He will equip you.
(Supernatural equipment)
!!! 1.   Rom 11:29
!!! 2.   (Rom 1:6 from the Message translation), “Through him we received both the generous gift of his life and the urgent task of passing it on to others who receive it by entering into obedient trust in Jesus.
You are who you are through this gift and call of Jesus Christ!” *[1]*
!!!! a)    You don’t have to struggle to find you position.
God will use you right where you are and He will promote.
!!!!! (1)  If He is not in it, it will fall apart.
!! C.  Once you know that God has called you, you need to be a man or woman of integrity.
!!! 1.   Look at Psa 15:4 (NIV Says, “who despises a vile man but honors those who fear the Lord, who keeps his oath even when it hurts,”*[2]*).
!!! 2.   People who have the call of God on their lives and who are also people of integrity, honest and sincere, will have God’s blessing in ministry.
!! D.  Develop.
Mature.
Grow
!!! 1.   Ministries are developed.
Take time to develop the ministerial gift.
!!! 2.   It takes time for people to become equipped to do what God has for them to do.
They must not only be equipped; they must mature.
!!!! a)     Usually people start out in a different area of ministry from what God called them to.
!!!! b)    Saul (Paul) is named as one of the five prophets and~/or teachers in Acts 13.
Later the New Testament calls him an apostle.
!!!! c)     But he didn’t start out with an apostle’s ministry.
He started out as a prophet and a teacher.
!!! 3.   Philip started out in the ministry of helps (Acts 6:1-6).
He was faithful in that office.
Later he was moved to the office of evangelist (Acts 8; 21:8).
!!! 4.   If God called you to pastor, you will not begin pastoring a church of 2000.
You would not know how to handle the job.
You may start with a \\ small flock, or as an assistant, or associate pastor, youth pastor, etc.
!!!! a)    God may have called you to be an evangelist.
You may eventually preach to 5000.
But you won’t start out preaching to 5000.
You may start out by preaching to five.
!!!! b)    Do not despise the day of small things (Zech.
4:10).
!!!! c)     Take time to wait and see what God wants you to do.
Let God make you the minister He wants you to be.
!!!!! (1)  Don’t say, “I choose this office.”
You cannot choose.
b.
Don’t try to be like someone else.
Just be yourself.
Take the truth of I God’s Word that is revealed to you and let God use your personality to \\ inject it.
Then it becomes your message.
\\ c.
Don’t just say, “I’m a teacher.”
Stop and wait and find out whether that \\ is what you are or not.
\\ d.
Just because you had one revelation, or given a few words of prophecy, \\ don’t say, “I’m a prophet.”
\\ From all probability you are not.
\\ Even if your call were a prophet, you couldn’t enter it right away.
You \\ wouldn’t be capable.
\\ God will not violate His own rules.
His Word says not to put a novice in \\ the office of deacon (1 Tim.
3:6).
God will not put an immature Christian \\ or an immature preacher into the office of prophet.
\\ e. Get some spiritual growth and development under your belt before you \\ try to ascertain and advertise what office you are in.
\\ f.
If God called you and set you in an office, you won’t have to advertise it, \\ anyway.
People will find out eventually.
If they do not, it is not your \\ place.
\\ g.
If the ministry is there in embryo stage, it will develop as you are \\ faithful.
\\ h.
Realize that the call of God is there.
Then be faithful to work for God \\ wherever you are.
(To preach and to teach is always right.)
Eventually \\ — when you reach some maturity, both mentally and spiritually — \\ God will let you know what your calling is.
\\ 5. Take time to wait on God.
Take time to fast and pray.
Take time to find His \\ perfect will for your life and ministry.
\\ a.
I shall never forget the day I was kneeling at the altar in my church \\ when I said to the Lord, “Lord, I’ve been waiting on You for 10 years.”
\\ Just as plain as some man talking to me He said, “No, you haven’t.
I’ve \\ been waiting on you for 10 years.
I’ve been waiting on you to make up \\ your mind to obey me.
I’ve been waiting on you to make up your mind \\ to do what I want you to do.” \\ b.
Jesus said to me in the first vision when He appeared to me, “When you \\ left your last church you entered into the first phase of your ministry.”
\\ I was shocked.
I’d been in the ministry 15 years.
I said, “Lord, I spent 15 \\ years in the ministry, and You blessed me.” \\ 12
He said, “Certainly.
