The Call to Ministry

Prayer is not optional. It is the lifeline of every believer and the power source of true ministry. In this episode of The Call to Ministry, Celinda reveals why so many Christians feel spiritually dry, overwhelmed, or powerless — and how a disciplined, biblical prayer life changes everything. Jesus modelled a lifestyle of praying and moving, drawing strength, clarity, and authority from the secret place. This teaching reveals how prayer shapes your calling, fuels spiritual growth, sharpens discernment, and positions you to walk in the very assignment God has placed on your life. If you’ve felt stuck in your walk with God, uncertain about your ministry, or frustrated by a lack of spiritual results, this message will challenge you, equip you, and call you back to the foundation Jesus Himself laid — consistent, powerful, Scripture-aligned prayer. By the end of this episode, you’ll understand why prayer is the first work of ministry, how it unlocks spiritual power, and how a revived prayer life brings breakthrough, direction, purity, and unstoppable momentum in your calling. 📖 Key Scriptures (NKJV) Luke 18:1 — “Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart.” Luke 11:9 — “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” Matthew 17:21 — “However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.” Watch The Call to Ministry Series 🎥 YouTube: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLDGF4MSNRaPglJi-Rz5a4H7X-C0THrJ-&si=A-Ay_iTL3jkIVwkX Partner Financially 🌐 Website: https://joosteinternationalministries.com 🤝 Partner / Support: https://joosteinternationalministries.com/partner Stay Connected 📸 Instagram: https://instagram.com/jooste_international 📘 Facebook: https://facebook.com/profile.php?id=61567186673889 📺 YouTube: @JoosteMinistries 🐦 X (Twitter): https://x.com/Jooste_Int_Min 🎵 TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@jooste_int_min

Before God can use you publicly, He will humble you privately. Greatness without humility becomes rebellion — and many have fallen because they embraced the spotlight but refused the low place. John the Baptist was called great before birth, yet he lived in humility. Jesus Himself was announced as great, yet He served, submitted, and obeyed the Father fully. The path to being used by God is always the path of humility. 📖 “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” — James 4:6 📖 “Humble yourselves… that He may exalt you in due time.” — 1 Peter 5:6 You can be gifted, talented, even anointed — but if pride sits in the heart, grace stops flowing. Pride cast Lucifer from Heaven; it still destroys ministries today. Humility is not weakness — it is alignment with Heaven’s order. Real power flows from obedience, purity, and submission to God’s Word. This episode confronts pride, corrects spiritual showmanship, and calls believers back to true humility.

Holiness is not optional — it is a requirement for every believer, and even more so for those who stand behind the pulpit. You cannot preach the Word and look like the world. The Bible is clear: 📖 “But be doers of the word, and not hearers only…” — James 1:22 📖 “Be holy, for I am holy.” — 1 Peter 1:15–16 Jesus didn’t just cover sin; He removed its stain, calling us to live set apart, free, and obedient. Holiness isn’t religion — it’s surrender. It’s not bondage — it’s true freedom. And it isn’t a suggestion — it’s God’s standard for those called by His name. If you're called to the pulpit, you're called to purity. You cannot carry a holy message with an unholy lifestyle. Let this episode challenge, refine, and draw you deeper into a life that reflects the One who called you.

Compromise is often the very first step toward spiritual defeat. In this episode, we expose the subtle temptation of compromise and reveal how every believer can walk in real, lasting victory through the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus faced three specific temptations in the wilderness (Matthew 4), and every one of us will face those same pressures today. What once was a struggle has become a settled excuse for many — “Maybe this is just how I am…” That is a lie from the pits of hell! Jesus didn’t just die to forgive sin — He conquered it, giving you the authority to walk in dominion, purity, and power. 📖 “For sin shall no longer be your master…” — Romans 6:14 📖 “No temptation has overtaken you…” — 1 Corinthians 10:13 This message launches a 3-part series on overcoming temptation. Today, we start by breaking the lie of compromise and helping you step boldly into freedom. 🎥 Recommended Sermon: Classic Jesse Duplantis — Say “No!” to satan https://youtu.be/_MYN0QI14hA?si=PAAqZHryyp0RqyA7 Support the Ministry 🌐 Website: www.cjooste.org 🤝 Partner / Support: https://joosteinternationalministries.com/give-now Stay Connected 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jooste_international 👍 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1Bpx7Z97Ly/ 🐦 X (Twitter): https://x.com/Jooste_Int_Min?t=sVIfJ8hUorhw7JqpH025_Q&s=09 🎵 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jooste_int_min

Who sits at the head of anything—your home, church, ministry, business, or even a nation—determines its direction, decisions, and destiny. In this powerful episode, we explore the biblical principle that leadership carries spiritual weight and reveals what truly governs a thing. 📖 “When the godly are in authority, the people rejoice. But when the wicked are in power, they groan.” — Proverbs 29:2 Whether you're leading a family or navigating your calling in ministry, what sits at the head matters. Godly leadership brings life, clarity, protection, and order. Let’s dive into the Word and uncover why the headship principle is vital for every believer. 📄 Free PDF: Foundational Christian Doctrines Book Recommendations https://joosteinternationalministries.com/online-store Support the Ministry 🌐 Website: www.cjooste.org 🤝 Partner / Support: https://joosteinternationalministries.com/give-now Stay Connected 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jooste_international 👍 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1Bpx7Z97Ly/ 🐦 X (Twitter): https://x.com/Jooste_Int_Min?t=sVIfJ8hUorhw7JqpH025_Q&s=09 🎵 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jooste_int_min 📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JoosteMinistries

The call to ministry is not a lesser path — it is a high and holy assignment from God Himself. Long before anyone recognised it, the Lord placed a calling on your life, shaping you with purpose, grace, and destiny. In this episode, we explore what Scripture reveals about this divine call: 📖 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you…” — Jeremiah 1:5 📖 “Who has saved us and called us with a holy calling…” — 2 Timothy 1:9 You are not an accident. Your calling is not man-made. It is God-given, God-ordained, and rooted in eternity. Join me as we dive deep into the Word and uncover what it truly means to step into the ministry God has prepared for you.
