Four Signs that God Might be Calling You into Full-time Ministry


1. A Profound Impression from God

When considering whether or not you feel called to ministry, check to see the genuineness of your passion for the things of God whether you expect some benefits in return or just a genuine love for souls.

2. Confirmation from others:
I have a friend in the ministry whom I have known for years. He loves God and he is anointed he is not a lazy man. One thing I know is that, God will not put grace in you and expect you not to profit it for the furtherance of his kingdom. I told him to start from somewhere. Thank God he did.

If something similar has happened to you, and others have commented on your life in a way that seems to direct you toward the ministry, that’s a very good sign that you’re probably called to go into full time ministry.

3. Reoccurring Thoughts for Ministry
Sometimes God will put something in your mind and continue feeding it back into you until you decide to do something about it. This is actually a strategy God tells us to use in Luke 18, when he uses the parable of “The Persistent Widow”.

This is something that has happened to me, consistently, for the past two/three years. I just couldn’t stop thinking about ministry. It just kept popping into my head over and over again. Even after surrendering to God’s call, it’s still always in the back of my mind.

If ministry is something you can’t stop thinking about, it’s very likely God’s calling you to ministry.
If ministry is something you can’t stop thinking about, it’s very likely God’s calling you to ministry.


4. A Passion for the Job
The final indicator for a call to ministry is a deep-rooted passion for the type of ministry God’s calling you. That could be missional work, pastoral work, church administrative work, worship ministry, or any other position in the light of ministry leadership.

If this sounds like you, and you have a genuine love for what God is calling you to, that’s a strong indicator that you’re being called to full time ministry.

5. Visions and dreams:
I have had personal encounters in dreams and in those encounters I would see myself standing before multitude preaching the gospel and in some I will be laying hands on people and I see them receiving their deliverance. Though I am not into a full time ministry but I am actively involved. Your dreams are expression of what should be your realities sometimes. So please pay attention to your dreams and seek for God's direction.

OP, you're sure not OK. Na fools like you go dey claim useless Daddy G.O. It shall NEVER be well with all of you scamming innocent pple.

For me I think it doesn't apply to all, when God is ready to use anyone for his work on earth, if you like they brothels with 100 men waiting for their turn on you, if you like they in the mist of a robbery, if you like be the PA to Peter obi.

Provided the appointed time has come, then you will know that you don't own yourself

And everything that has resulted from that lie is nothing but a lie ....Antichrist. undecided

You may be wrong on this, let's take for instance, in school not all students will be teachers at the end. Some become doctors, engineer, pilot etc but all went to the same high school and probably taught by the same teachers. The same is in ministry, Some are actually called to lead others through knowledge and passion. And it doesn't mean others are not called to different functions and departments but non is inferior to other

Everything u said here is for a normal Born again Christian.

Be careful of dreams nd visions bcuz it can be easily manipulated.

Test every spirit with the word of God.

Passion for the ministry is for every believers, so u can also be passionate about the kingdom as a normal Born again Christian.

Be careful of number 3 nd 5, it can be easily manipulated by the devil.

The sure two ways to know if u have calling into the ministry is through ur fellowship with the Holy Spirit nd through the word of God.

You are correct we are all commissioned as believers but some are called into the assignment of propagating the Gospel full time. Perhaps they would be pioneers of a vision and while others follows to support the vision.


Go and get a job, please!

Stop looking for a way to live off people.

The Gospel has already been spread across nations. We only need doers of the Word, not preachers anymore.

Please stop feeding people with these lies about your "ministry" cons using the name of Jesus Christ. undecided

To everyone who is called by Jesus Christ to the Kingdom of God is the same work given.... and the judgment that awaits all the same. Every man is called to obedience and doing that which Jesus Christ did and even more. All are called equals with the same job to do and the same end goal to accomplish in the end - do that which Jesus Christ did and more. All who fall short of that goal have themselves to blame. undecided

You are know to pervert the ways of God .
You stand against every counsel that does not
Proceed from your organization .

Kobojunkie:
This is not an opinion but a fact based on the Gospel teachings of Jesus Christ Himself. Jesus Christ never instituted division of labor among His followers in the sense that you pretend. He gave the same work to each and every one of His followers and told them that they are all of them equals and expected to accomplish the tasks contained in the agreement as individuals. So, think carefully about it. undecided

Imagine there are 100 commandments in total and I am required by Jesus Christ to meet a certain quota by obeying each of the 100 commandments that were given to me in the agreement that I entered into with Jesus Christ. Now, If I, as a servant decided to instead focus on some tasks while I relegate some of my duties to others who are supposedly in the flock of Jesus Christ, by what method do I still meet the quota on all 100 commandments as expected of me as a follower of Jesus Christ? undecided

Jesus Christ never explained such a situation being possible for any of His followers. His teachings are clear that each servant will be expected to meet the quota for all the work given and the work given is pretty much the same to all of His servants, He explained via parables and in clear speech - everyone is expected to do the work that He did and more. So where do your so-called church leaders get that idea that some are this and some are that from? undecided

As much as I'd want to agree with you, there is just one question I need you to shed more light on.

When Jesus Christ started his ministry fully, he singlehandedly selected his disciples (Chosen).

Even though as stated above "we are all mandated for one mission", why did Christ 'SELECTED' a circle of individuals to work with?
