If we read the scriptures on ministries and gifts in Romans chapter 12, Second Corinthians chapter 12, and Ephesians chapter 4, we find that the Spirit endows every person with a specific gift or ministry, as He sees fit. I cannot choose my favourite ministry or gift. How eternally sensible it was of God not to allow us to choose our own Spiritual gifts and calling.

From experience I can tell that most Christians would have chosen a power ministry, with healing powers. This is not because they have hearts for the suffering of others, but mostly because they want to be 'powerful'. A close runner up to the powerful healing ministry would probably be exhortation. There are many Christians that are more attentive to the faults and imperfections of others, than what they are of their own life.

These 'exhorters' want to rebuke everybody but themselves. They are the finger pointers, highlighting everybody else's imperfections. If however you should make the mistake of drawing their attention to their own imperfections, you are making an enemy for life.

This is in fact how many of these 'holy leaderless' Christian groups came into existence. I know more than one of those that were formed by frustrated Christians who broke away from regular ministries because the Pastor had the audacity to admonish 'brother perfect' because of something he did wrong. Right there and then 'brother perfect' decided to start his own show, where nobody will admonish him again, and where he will have the right to exhort everybody else.

The wise author of the book of Ecclesiastics already said the following hundreds of years before the birth of Jesus: Ecclesiastes 1:9 AMP The thing that has been--it is what will be again, and that which has been done is that which will be done again and there is nothing new under the sun.
