God chooses our position not men or ourselves. “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations” (Jeremiah 1:5). Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters (Matthew 12:30). Her heads judge for a bribe, Her priests teach for pay, And her prophets divine for money. Yet they lean on the Lord, and say, “Is not the Lord among us? No harm can come upon us.” (Micah 3:11).

If you should stand before the Lord today, what would you say; when you meet Him face to face? I have done your work Lord or I have done what seem good to me? Whoever is not with me is against me, There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death (Proverbs 14:12).

Each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is (1 Corinthians 3:13). Only that which is the will of God will remain.

Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name? (Matthew 7:22). Make sure you are doing it for the Lord and not just for self again. God chooses our position. But some of course, want to be Pastors and preaching the Good News, because they are jealous of the way God is using others. And for some its because of money and power over others.

It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill. ¹⁶ The latter do so out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel. ¹⁷ The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains.¹⁸ But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice. Philippians 1:15-18.

They want reputations as fearless preachers! But others have purer motives, preaching because they love me, for they know that the Lord has brought me here to use me to defend the Truth. And some preach to make me jealous, thinking that their success will add to my sorrows here in jail! But whatever their motive for doing it, the fact remains that the Good News about Christ is being preached, and I am glad. (Philippians 1: 15-18).

If God has called you and people reject you, guest what; you are still called.

Remain in your calling that God has chooses, if God calls a person as an Evangelist and their denomination make them a pastor, what are they? They are still an evangelist in God eyes. Most Evangelist and Teachers of the word of God are becoming Pastors today. This is not right, especially when you know what God as called you has. Check your motives, God chooses our position. Who have chosen the position that you are in, is it God, self or man?

God chooses our position.

The Lord Jesus sent me to some people to tell them that they were in the wrong position (the wrong office) or wrong calling. I told them what their calling was and they told me they know. And they just carry on in the same position. To some the Lord had me go to them and tell them before they went into the wrong position. But still they when and became Pastors.

If you are doing something different to what the Lord Jesus has told you to do, then it is for yourself and not for Christ. If you are in the wrong office, you are not there for Christ  but for yourself. Do not be fooled in thinking that because you have many people, that God has change is mind.

God chooses our position before He formed us in our mothers womb. God has not forgotten what He created us to do. For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. ¹² Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. ¹³ You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. (Jeremiah 29:11-13). Before you were born you were called and ordained for the position God has chosen for you.

Shall the the Cat say to His Creator I no longer want to be a Cat; I wont to be a Dog?
Shall the Toy say to the Toy Maker, that has made it, you do not no what you are doing?
Well that is what many of us have been saying, by doing our own think.

Remember God chooses our position, not us and not even the Pastor, Bishop, Prophet or Apostle.

For a long time now the Church as not been operating according to the plans and rules of Jesus.

They have reject the Prophet and mainly the Apostle and by doing so remain as babes still drinking milk.

So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, ¹² to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up¹³ until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. (Ephesians 4:11-13).

And God has placed in the church first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, of helping, of guidance, and of different kinds of tongues.

Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. ²⁸ And God has placed in the church first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, of helping, of guidance, and of different kinds of tongues. ²⁹ Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles? (1 Corinthians 12:27-29). The answer is No.

Check your motives.

Make sure your motives are right; for this will determine whether you will have rewards in Heaven if you make it there. Faithfulness and obedience is the order of the day.

May God Bless You all.
