Acts 13 starts by identifying prophets and teachers in Antioch. Two of the five listed we know the other three we know nothing about other then they were prophets and teachers. After worshiping and fasting they were lead by the Holy Spirit to “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul” for the work of the Lord. At this point they didn't jump up and leave, but after fasting and praying laid their hands on them and sent them off. How are decision made in ministry today?
As they were in service for the Lord they fasted and being directed by the Holy Spirit set apart two missionaries. But prior to sending them they fasted and prayed, upon the conclusion they commissioned Barnabas and Saul. So how did we select the last leadership role in our church? I am not trying to say this is the only method, because not everyone sent in the Bible repeated these steps, but it makes we ask how we are selecting leaders. How do you select leaders?
