Hey people, I'm sharing this from what i've learnt from School of Supernatural ministry which is helpful to what we talked about in cell. For those of you who have the "basic training for the prophetic ministry" workbook, it's on page 23.
To have a fruitful ministry, 3 components are essential.
Calling - gives identity.
1Cor 1:1 "Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God"Gifting - gives ability.
1Pet 4:10 "Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms."Anointing - gives purpose.
Isa 61:1 "The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners,"
The gifts and calling of God are irrevocable
(Rom 11:29) but the anointing comes from the relationship we have with the Holy Spirit.
When we do not receive God's anointing, we can work under the enemy's anointing while possessing God's calling and giftings.
At the previous cell meeting, we talked about identity and purpose. So here are 2 questions for reflection:
1. Can you find a verse to be the basis of the purpose you have written down last week
?
2. Do you know 1 gift that you have received from God or you want to receive from God, which helps you work towards your purpose?
For me,1. Purpose: to inspire youths to be who they can be, including shepherding them.
Acts 20:28 "Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood."2. The gift of hope in God.
Rom 5:5 "And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us."
I hope this is helpful. Feel free to share =)
