“REVELATION FOR MINISTRY
READ: 1 Samuel 3:1-10
“And lest I should be exalted above measure through the ABUNDANCE OF THE REVELATIONS, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.” – 2 Corinthians 12:7
Most of us have not been given the revelation that was given to Apostle Paul. We are therefore expected to be nurtured and grow in the Lord as we study the revelation given to him.
It is interesting to see pastors starting their own ministries because they want to be called “founders” and “presidents”. Many of these people are like Samuel to whom the word of the Lord has not been revealed. They do not have the revelation that initiates a ministry. To run ahead and start things when no revelation has been given to you is a mistake. Until a revelation has been given to you, you must stand on, and grow on the revelation that has been given to others. “But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ” (Galatians 1:11-12). Revelations are from God and they are a mark of the Holy Spirit on any one who receives it.
The famous prophet Samuel was not able to begin his ministry because he had not yet received a revelation. Notice how the scripture puts it – “the word of the Lord was not yet revealed unto him”! Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, neither was the word of the Lord yet revealed unto him. 1 Samuel 3:7
When the word of the Lord is revealed to you, your ministry will start. Knowing God for yourself and having a personal revelation from the Lord is the signal for the beginning of your ministry. When you have not been given your own personal revelation, you are expected to grow up on the revelation given to others.
