Today and ever since the death of the last Apostle, John, all human ministry was removed by GOD because they were the instruments used by Satan to deceive. This Satanic deception has produced all the false churches we see in the world today.
As odd as it may seem one of the ways to identify a false church is that they preach their version of a false gospel in an effort to fulfill their great commission. The true church is so scattered that this preaching of a great commission is impossible and the true saints understand that the Apostles were the only men given to preach the great commission and the Apostles still do today even though dead because their words are recorded in the scriptures.
Even though the saints today are not attempting to “fulfill the great commission” they are being used by GOD and Christ in the calling out of the world the remaining elect needed to complete the 144,000 . This can be done in various ways; by people seeing how the saints live which prompts questions the saints answer that may, if GOD wills, put the person on a path toward conversion.
Another way would be to speak or write about our own experiences, how we came to be converted and what things GOD has taught us.
John 15:2 “HE cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit and every branch that does bear fruit HE prunes to make it even more fruitful.”
1 Peter 3:15 “Always be ready to give an answer to every man that asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you.”
Acts 18:26 Two non ministry church saints, a husband and wife, explained the way of GOD more accurately to Apollos.
2 Timothy 2:24,25 A servant of GOD and Christ must be able to instruct, reprove those who oppose him, in the hope GOD may grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth.
1 Thessalonians 5:14 Paul urged the brethren to admonish the unruly, encourage the faint hearted, help the weak, and be patient with everyone.
Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you in all wisdom, instructing and admonishing each other in psalms and hymns with grace in your hearts.
If your walk in GOD and Christ has been longer than others it is only reasonable that you would be a more mature Christian. Help the babes in Christ, help them that your spirit of discernment shows you is searching for truth. The 144000 is not yet complete in number and on the earth who is it that GOD may use to draw another saint to HIM, would it be some preacher in a church or maybe the Pope ?? Could it possibly be you ? James 5:20 1 Peter 4:8 Matthew 18:15 Daniel 12:3
I believe this is a part of the reason we were called and chosen by GOD, is to be those lights in a world of darkness. We are to let our light shine . When Jesus left this world his light was gone, John 9:5 but if we are in him some of his light is in us. We are now the light of the world. Matthew 5:14,15,16 John 12:36 We bear fruit to GOD by using HIS Holy Spirit not only for ourselves but for others. We love our neighbors as ourselves.
We are to be imitators of Christ.
