Luke 9:1-6
Multiplying the healing and restoration work of the Kingdom of God, Jesus gave his authority over evil to the 12 appointed apostles. And sent them out to preach and heal. This amazing authority was transferred to his followers. It was not contained in the person of Jesus. As people exhibited faith, God’s power over evil and diseases proved that His Kingdom was a present reality.
Along this journey, the apostles learned that whatever they needed would be provided as they did the work of the gospel including homes, food, protection, and clothing. And when people rejected them, they were simply to move on because others were ready to respond. This gospel ministry is something God does. His messengers are always well equipped. Success and authority are from the hand of God.
If God has called you, he will equip you and establish the success. It is his ministry of Kingdom. It is for His glory (reputation). No matter what calling God has placed on your life, as you use your skills and gifts to bring good news and healing to others, people will be blessed and helped.
