Do you want to become a pastor or do you think you can become a pastor? Here are a few steps to help you follow your calling.
In our weekly review of Gospel matters, we have carried out an extensive research of how one can be an active minister in God’s Church; a Pastor, Priest or Rabbi. We have got a few tips to help you establish yourself in the ministry of Our Lord.
One of them is to wait for God to make it clear that this is the path He has for you. Like Uzzah in 2 Samuel 6, reaching forth and grabbing the Arc of the Covenant (he died instantly), many people reach for a position of ministry without Gods call. Wait and see, pray for confirmation.
Another step is to remember this is God’s Bride you are seeking to serve, be humble and remember your place. Love God, be captivated by His goodness and develop a conversational relationship with Him . He loves you!
The third step is think hard about what you really want to be . Is this really the job you want? Do you want to do something else or become involved in ministry? If the answer is yes, then pray to God to help you find the right path for you if you are lost . Talk to your pastor, priest, or rabbi to see what they had to go through to get to where they are today and decide if that’s what you want to do. Talk to your Youth Director, Youth Pastor, or any other person involved in your church about ministry. Chances are they will become very interested in your interests and take you seriously.
Finally when one has settled with all this, after graduating from whatever institution your pursuing your career from, go to college to get the proper degrees to become a pastor, priest, or rabbi .
God Willing, after college, attend a theological seminary. This is where you will be ordained into ministry. Remember, there was no theological seminary in the time of Christ, follow that path if God leads. Serving God’s Bride is a calling, not a job . If being a pastor doesn’t seem to be in your future, realize that it is okay. Not everyone is called to be a pastor.
