How is a person qualified to
serve the Lord Most High?
A University Degree is always
worth a try!
But there’s a little problem. When
Jesus chose His men,
He didn’t bother asking them,
to tell Him where or when,
That each of them had
qualified. He didn’t seem to mind,
That some were quite illiterate,
or where to go to find,
The people who would follow
Him. The oldest and best trained
Was Judas who betrayed Him. But
that was fore ordained.
Their leader was a fisherman. His
heart was on his sleeve.
He promised he would follow Him
and was the last to leave.
But Peter wasn’t qualified and
every now and then,
He’d go back to his fishing boat
and catch some fish again.
We have these strange ideas.
How are men qualified?
It’s God Who’s working in you.
It’s Him who must decide,
If you are who He’s looking
for. He looks into your heart;
He checks out all your motives
before He makes a start.
Then, if you are approved of,
your training will begin.
An exercise to purge you, of
all inherent sin.
He thinks it’s more important
for His vessel to be right!
A head full of Theology! But
will he spread God’s light?
He’s looking for a person who’s
totally committed.
It is this kind of attitude, that Jesus sees as fitted,
To take His Holy teachings to places far and wide.

And this is a heart issue;
that’s where you’re qualified.
He gets His information by
talking with His Dad.
He knows what is inside a man, if
it is good or bad.
He tests them with the gifts He
sends to people every day;
To see what they will do with
them, or if they’re in the way.
God sees us as important. But
will we shift and bend?
Or are we His disciples on whom
He can depend?
The Lord already knows it. He
changes not at all.
But we must see what we will
do. If we will stand or fall.
He’s given us a purpose; each
individually,
Must know where they are going
and how the end will be.
He gave us all a brand new life
to do with as we wish.
Will we proclaim the Gospel, or
go back to our fish?
No one can give an answer. For
each, it’s up to you.
But since you are now
qualified, what are you going to do?
