Young preacher…
One of the most purifying forces in my life has been my connection to my Apostle.
And not in a way you might think…
Because when you’re connected to a well known man that God is using…
People use you. And by people, I mean those “in the ministry”. I do not mean the good, godly people in the household of faith. Those people are like gold. I’m talking about ministers, preachers, the world of ministry, etc…
To those people…You’re just a bridge. They want to walk over you to get to him…
The text has an agenda. The call. The “let’s grab a coffee”. The invitation to minister. Everything…
It’s tainted…
And they don’t think you see it.
And that reality demands an internal security, a level of discernment, an ability to love people, a “wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove” ability that is frankly…other worldly.
It demands you throw yourself upon God.
It shapes you. Molds you. Forms you…
Young preacher…it takes special grace to be connected to greatness…
And if seen properly…makes you more like the very Jesus we desire to serve.
And isn’t that what we’ve all cried out for?
