Congratulations to Minister Norman Cole on his ordination—faithfully answering the divine call!
Today, Minister Cole stands as one chosen and appointed by God—not by human desire or personal ambition, but by divine purpose. As it is written, “No one takes this honor upon himself, but he who is called by God.” Even before his formation, God knew him; before his birth, he was set apart for such a time as this.
Through the laying on of hands, the gift within him has been stirred, strengthened, and affirmed. Today marks not just a moment, but a mandate—a sacred commissioning into the work of the Kingdom.
Like the prophet Isaiah, he has heard the voice of the Lord asking, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?” And with a yielded heart, he boldly declares, “Here am I—send me!”
Under the spiritual covering and leadership of Bishop Jacob Thomas, he accepts the charge to preach the Word in season and out of season, walking worthy of the calling upon his life with humility, power, and unwavering faith.
May God continue to anoint, guide, and use you mightily, Minister Cole. This is only the beginning!
“Here am I! Send me.” – Isaiah 6:8
