I have prayed for new opportunities from God which would enlarge the territory in which I minister because i have really met very few Pastors here in my home area that are open to non-pastors coming to preach for them. Subsequently I have recieved a couple of invitations from pastors looking for new fellowship because they are not close or really connected to many of the older/Sr (years of ministry) pastors.
Now I know that one t of my assignments in Christ is to be used as a meeting/connection for pastors/preachers to meet.
Yet I am conflicted at this moment because though God is answering my prayer how do I discern if it is for me or How Some of you decide or realize if an opportunity is really for you?
I didn't Get a chance to say something that no one thought about or said.
To many times preachers are looking for platforms to preach on or in when the greatest platform is looked over.Outreach yes outreach in the street.We laugh and make fun of the Jehovah's Witnesses but they are never conflicted with where to preach.Their platform is in the field.We that are santified,blood washed,born again believers always come to this stage.Are you trying to be seen of men?If the answer is no then stop looking for places to preach use the corner. Show some holy boldness,stop being wimps.Yes I said it and I'll add more to it before I take it away.Everybody that wants opportunity should do as the Bible says of the parable Luk 14:23 And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel [them] to come in, that my house may be filled.Forget about the felowshipping of churches there is enough of that going around.center your ministry on the lost.I know I may have left the path of your conversation but this was my perspective.
