glory to GOD FOR TRUTH Amen ! All ministry in the house of God is by divine appointment, on whatever level it may be. Only the Holy Ghost can do these things! The ministers of the Church in Laodicea who are called and appointed by the votes of the people are not the ministers of Christ! There is no such thing in the kingdom of God as appointment to ministry by human authority or hierarchy. Neither is there such a thing as a self-constituted ministry of a man’s choosing. None but God can make or appoint a ministry of any sort or description. Even in Old Testament times Yahweh called Moses and appointed Aaron and his sons to the priesthood; and if a stranger presumed to meddle with the functions of those so appointed, he was put to death. Such was the solemn result — the awful consequence of moving outside of God’s theocratic order. Spiritually it means that all who move in ministry apart from the appointment of the Spirit are spiritually dead, for God does not anoint such ministry with His life! “Every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God…and no man taketh this honor unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron” (Heb. 5:1-4). “But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body as it hath pleased Him.” “There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are diversities of administrations, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all” (I Cor. 12:4-6).
