Isaiah45:13- I have raised him up in RIGHTEOUSNESS, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, he shall LET GO my captives, not for the price nor reward, saith the LORD of host.
RAISED IN RIGHTEOUSNESS
Who is a minister? A minister is simply a man or a woman that has discovered his calling. That calling could be to sing, preach, teach, organize, usher people,etc. As long as you have discovered your kingdom purpose or assignment, you are a minister.
When we talk about a kingdom minister this end-time, one of the hall mark of such is God's dealings in raising him/her up to live right. Ministry today is in dire need of men that lives for righteousness, we can't call you a true man of God when we can't trust you.
A man that God hasn't raised in righteousness can't be a true minister of God no matter how gifted he/she maybe. You may argue that no one is perfect but I must also tell you that a character flaw from a minister will make news more than that of a Nollywood actor simply because much is expected of us.
As a music minister, preacher,teacher, usher etc, you have to submit yourself to be tutored by God in the school of righteousness before your ministerial glory can emerge and be confirmed as God's sent.
I respect three men with the initials E.A.,D.K.&W.F., the world may not like them, but in my heart, I know heaven recommends them and marks them present on daily basis in the school of righteousness. RAISED IN RIGHTEOUSNESS
Father, I receive grace to submit myself to be tutored in the school of righteousness In Jesus Name.
