Called To Ministry

 

Lk.10:1 After these things the LORD appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come.

10:2 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.

10:3 Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.

10:4 Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.

10:5 And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house.

10:6 And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.

10:7 And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.

10:8 And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:

10:9 And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.

10:10 But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,

10:11 Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.

10:12 But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.

10:13 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

10:14 But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you.

10:15 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell.

10:16 He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.

10:17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.

10:18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.

10:19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

10:20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.

Rom. 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

10:14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed?

and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard?

and how shall they hear without a preacher?

 

Rev 22:11  He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

 

Jer 1:17  Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak unto them all that I command thee: be not dismayed at their faces, lest I confound thee before them.

 

II Thess.1:11 Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:  1:12 That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

 

 

II THESS 3:7  For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;

8  Neither did we eat any man's bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you:

9  Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us.

10  For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.

11  For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.

12  Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.

 

II Tim. 1:8 Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;

1:9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,

1:10 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:

1:11 Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.

 

II Tim 2:6  The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.

I Pet 5:1  The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:

5:2  Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;

5:3  Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.

5:4  And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.

 

II Pet. 1:1 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that

have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness

of God and our Savior Jesus Christ:

1:2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of

God, and of Jesus our Lord,

1:3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that

pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that

hath called us to glory and virtue:

1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises:

that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having

escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

 

Titus1:6 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.

1:7 For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;

1:8 But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;

1:9 Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.

1:10 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:

1:11 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.

1:12 One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.

1:13 This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;

1:14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.

2:1 But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:  (Actually, all the  rest of Titus is a blueprint for ministry)

 

Jealousy :

John 21:15 So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of

Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea,

Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my

lambs.

21:16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest

thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love

thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

21:17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou

me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time,

Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all

things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my

sheep.

21:18 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdest

thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt

be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird

thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not.

21:19 This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And

when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.

21:20 Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved

following; which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said,

Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee?

21:21 Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do?

21:22 Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that

to thee? follow thou me.

21:23 Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple

should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If

I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?

 

II Cor. 1:3 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the

Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;

1:4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to

comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith

we ourselves are comforted of God.

13:10 Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I

should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath

given me to edification, and not to destruction.

 

DIFFERENCES IN CALLING

 

Mt. 10:1 And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them

power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all

manner of sickness and all manner of disease.

10:2 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon,

who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of

Zebedee, and John his brother;

10:3 Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican;

James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was

Thaddaeus;

10:4 Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.

10:5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go

not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans

enter ye not:

10:6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

10:7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.

10:8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils:

freely ye have received, freely give.

10:9 Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,

10:10 Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet

staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.

10:11 And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who in it is

worthy; and there abide till ye go thence.

10:12 And when ye come into an house, salute it.

10:13 And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it

be not worthy, let your peace return to you.

10:14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when

ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.

10:15 Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of

Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.

10:16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye

therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

10:17 But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and

they will scourge you in their synagogues;

10:18 And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake,

for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.

10:19 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye

shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall

speak.

10:20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which

speaketh in you.

10:21 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father

the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and

cause them to be put to death.

10:22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that

endureth to the end shall be saved.

10:23 But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for

verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of

Israel, till the Son of man be come.

10:24 The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his

Lord.

10:25 It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant

as his Lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub,

how much more shall they call them of his household?

10:26 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not

be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.

10:27 What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear

in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.

10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the

soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and

body in hell.

10:29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not

fall on the ground without your Father.

10:30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

10:31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.

10:32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I

confess also before my Father which is in heaven.

10:33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny

before my Father which is in heaven.

10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to

send peace, but a sword.

10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the

daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her

mother in law.

10:36 And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household.

10:37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me:

and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of

me.

10:38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not

worthy of me.

10:39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my

sake shall find it.

10:40 He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me

receiveth him that sent me.

10:41 He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a

prophet’s reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the

name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward.

10:42 And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a

cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto

you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.

 

 

Acts 22:19 And I said, Lord, they know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue them that believed on thee:

22:20 And when the blood of thy martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by, and consenting unto his death, and kept the raiment of them that slew him.

22:21 And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send thee far hence unto the Gentiles.

 

Phil. 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal

with God:

2:7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of

a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

2:8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and

became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

 

Titus 1:4 To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and

peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.

1:5 For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order

the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had

appointed thee:
