The Ordination of Your Future

Tuesday, December 7, 2021

When someone is about to go into ministry, there's often an ordination service in which other ministers lay hands on, pray over, publicly recognize, anoint, and commission him for the ministry and purpose for which he has been called by God. In Psalm 90, Moses writes a very famous verse, "Teach us to number our days O Lord that we may have a heart of wisdom." Does it mean that we should realize the limited number of days we have on earth? Yes. But it means even more. The word number here is a translation of the Hebrew word manah which also means to appoint and ordain. So it can be translated, "Teach us to appoint our days" or "Teach us to ordain our days." Thus, if you let your days come and go without ordaining them, without consecrating them, they'll likely miss the purpose for which they were meant. Schedule your ordination service - consecrate, dedicate, appoint, and commission this coming year for God, so that it will fulfill the purpose for which it was called, to be a blessing in your life.
