BIBLE SCHOOL
Matthew 10:5a
"These twelve Jesus sent out after instructing them....."
Jesus called and sent His disciples out into ministry. But He did not send them into the harvest field (Matthew 9:37-38) without preparation. Before they went, there was a time of instruction. The rest of Chapter 10 is detailed teaching about who they were to go to, what their message was, how to minister, and how to handle rejection. Training for ministry is important. In retrospect, perhaps I would have been more successful as a pastor if I had gone to Bible School. Even Paul had three years of training in Arabia before he went to Jerusalem to begin his apostolic ministry (Galatians 1:15-18). I would advise anyone who feels called to ministry to take time for training and preparation to maximize their effectiveness. As the old saying goes: God loves F.A.T. people – Faithful, Available, and Teachable.
TODAY'S PRINCIPLE: Training and preparation are vital for successful ministry.
