The Price of Ministry
Those who attended heard in-depth teaching on several subjects. One of the most riveting explained a deeper understanding of both the call and tests we can expect as believers who desire to minister the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Every believer is called, Pastor Benny said, but the Bible makes it clear that few are chosen.
Once you are called, you will go through tests. Citing numerous examples throughout the Bible, from Elisha to the apostles, Pastor Benny outlined 10 tests you will go through after you are called
—tests that will determine whether or not you will be chosen:
Time Test — God will put you on the shelf and shut every door.
Word Test — You will have to rely solely on the Bible as God determines whether you will move closer to Him or away from Him during this time of testing.
Servant Test — God calls you to serve another person, even as Elisha poured water on Elijahs hands.
Wilderness Test — Just as Moses spent 40 years in the wilderness being stripped of Egypt and his former life, the Wilderness Test is one of the most important.
Patience Test — Noah preached for 100 years. God often calls us to wait upon Him.
Frustration Test — God desires to search the true heart of the believer, especially in times of pressure.
Discouragement Test — What will it take to stop you?
War Test — When the devil attacks, you must learn to walk in the Spirit.
Vision Test — Your vision will be tested—are you truly called? You must make the vision plain and follow it.
Promotion Test — Can you handle promotion?
