This is a true saying, if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
Today it’s so very important for us to understand that God doesn’t choose “passionless people” to perform His divine plans. He carefully observes our attitude and desires before He lays His hands on us and sends us to the field of ministry - in any capacity of service.
Paul gives Timothy a list of requirements if he wanted to become the leader that God wanted, and the Church body needed him to become...
Talented? Gifted? Educated? None of these... The top of Paul’s list was Desire (orego). This word refers to a person’s inward attitude and determination to always do their very best and to become their very best.
Desire doesn’t speak of second-rate, second-class or left-overs!
Some Examples are:
- ➡Has the ability to improve themselves, but doesn’t even try...
- ➡Has the money to buy better clothes, but doesn’t...
- ➡has an iron to press their clothes, but doesn’t use it...
- ➡has a comb for their hair, but doesn’t care how they look...
- ➡has the ability to study and increase their knowledge and skills, but is never motivated enough to do anything about it...
Desire, Drive and Passion to not only DO our best, but to BE our best is a great quality for us as believers to posses.
