A team has certain players that play first, but the team also has extra players in case one player is unable to play. You may not be on the first string, but you're on the bench in case you are needed to play. You must train with the team just like the other players. You may be on the bench, but you're still part of the team and you need to be prepared in case you have to go into the game. That’s the way we are as Christians. We may sit on the bench in church, but we need to be prepared in case we are called to do the work of the ministry.
As Christians, we are constantly in training to prepare for whatever purpose God has for us. Don’t be dismayed if all you do is sit in church and never get called to do any services. You are being obedient to the Lord just by attending church. The apostles were with Jesus for three years before they went out on their own. Learning and preparing for doing the will of our heavenly Father is very important
No matter what type of trade you practice, whether it be an engineer, baker, banker, or warehouse man it doesn’t matter. It all takes special training. You can't just get up is and start baking a cake without learning how to follow the instructions. Everything takes time to learn! So it is with the gospel of Jesus Christ. That's why Jesus spoke about learning and showing yourself approved. We go to church to hear the word of God so that when we are called upon we will know what to say and do. You can’t just go to the bank and withdraw money without putting money into your account to be able to withdraw it. So it is with the gospel of Jesus Christ. We must have the word in us in order to proclaim the word correctly to others.
Jesus always said He did the will of His Father. So it is with us to do the will of our heavenly Father. If God calls upon you for a specific purpose God will make sure that you are well equipped and prepared to complete it. It’s so important to stay in the word daily because you never know when you will be called upon to teach the gospel. All of us are servants of the Lord and we must be prepared to do whatever it is that we are called upon to do.
All Christians are called upon to share the gospel, and so we must prepare ourselves so that when the time comes to do the will of the Father we are ready!.
