Preparation To Be Leader

How long is the process to prepare leaders for ministry.  There is no set pattern or length of time.  Moses took forty years in the desert tending his father-in-law Jethro's sheep.

Only fourteen years after his conversion, Paul was released and sent out as a leader (Acts 13:1-3).  From the time of his dreams till be became Prime Minister of Egypt, Joseph spent thirteen years of his life.

Two things determine how long it will take God to make you a leader:

• the nature and magnitude of the ministry God has called you, and
• your response to His dealings in the preparation.

The greater the responsibility, the longer will be the preparation.  It takes more heat to refine a vessel made of gold for God's honor than it does to make a common earthen vessel,, for common use.
