Most of us once we get saved wants to start doing something for God and many wants to jump into ministry immediately. But a word of caution though-yes God is very much interested in us trying to do ministry for Him but first He wants us to serve Him before we can learn to serve others. He wants us to become more like Him rather than start jumping into ministry.
The becoming like Him is more important than the doing part. Character is more important than ministry. When we minister we represent Him so we need to wait on Him to prepare us,chisel us and mold us to the character He wants to shape in our lives. The message is very important but the carrier of the message needs to be a holy,prepared and attested vessel. Our lives should correspond to what we preach and teach or else we behave like the Pharisees and being hipocritical.
The Son of God waited for 30 years before He launched into ministry,Saul who later became Apostle Paul was prepared in the wilderness of Arabia before He went public. They are our patterns to follow. A soldier needs to undergo training before he can be sent into the battlefield.
We are the last day sent ones and we have the hardest and the best ministry laid upon our shoulders and we need intensive and extensive training to represent our master and King and His Kingdom.
