There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil. Job 1:1
The introduction of Job has no title added yet Job left a record unbeaten by many men with great titles. Job introduced simply as “a man” was said to be perfect, upright, feared God and eschewed evil, such that God was proud of him and boasted about him to the devil. Today, brethren piles up titles for human recognition, because by their fruits, we can rightly conclude that many are unknown to God.
Behold, thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened the weak hands. Thy words have upholden him that was falling, and thou hast strengthened the feeble knees. Job 4:3-4
Apart from Job’s commitment to God, which made God to publicly recognize him, above scripture highlighted his activities at helping and imparting people in his generation:
+ He instructed many, not a few.
+ He strengthened the weak hands.
+ His words upheld him that was to fall.
+ He strengthened the feeble knees.
+ He strengthened the weak hands.
+ His words upheld him that was to fall.
+ He strengthened the feeble knees.
Job needed no title to be upright before God. He needed no title to serve humanity. Though the calls into various offices in the church are recognized, but believe me, pleasing God and serving humanity has nothing to do with the title those calls places on us. You need no title to serve and be pleasing to God and also to positively impart humanity.
Every believer with or without a title should strive to please God and positively impart humanity since that is what will count before God. The issues believers shall face before God will have to do with being perfect, upright, feared God and hate evil and not whether we hold a title in church.
