Preparation for Ministry
Life is lived in three periods;
1) The period of preparation.
2) The active "doing" period.
3) The period of transfer, or handing over.
Or you can say that life is lived in three seasons;
1) The season of gathering.
2) The season of building and carrying.
3) The season of distribution.
The first season/period of preparation and gathering is most important and totally essential for the two later ones...
The disciples became Apostles after being with Jesus 3.5 years. They were in boot camp to win the world before they were let out to do just that.
The Apostle Paul spent a long time in the Arabic desert after his salvation before his ministry as an Apostle really took off.
Moses had 40 years of experience being a shepherd in the desert before he became the sheperd of the people of Israel.
Newly saved and leaders that are too young often afflicted with pride, the Apostle Paul warns about this in 1 Tim 3:6.
