Fulfilling the ministry so important when considering a candidate for ordination because it is the highest calling. As we responded on Gods call, God fills in the picture for us. If God calls us, we need to fulfill by doing what he ants us to do. Be involved in Great commission .
The ordination is very sacred. Dedication and commitment. Receiving anointing and confirmation before exploring in the great commission of God.

The ordination process is leaders recognizing and releasing what God is already doing. Call + Activity = Ministry. Activity of the person bears witness to the Call of God.

1. I think that fulfilling your ministry before getting ordained is important because it shows obedience and trust in God and his plan for your life. It is sometimes easy for people to be called to something but not follow through on their calling, so being willing to step into the calling God has on your life is an essential step in the ordination process.
2. I have reflected on the importance of ordination by thinking deeper about the implications it has. It is not just a formal recognition of your ministry giftings, but there is a much deeper spiritual recognition and responsibility for the individual. I especially appreciated in the video when it was mentioned how there is a connection with the early church leaders and apostles as they laid hands and prayed for people in their churches as well. This is not just a new process by which people are ordained and encouraged in their ministry and calling and I think that is beautiful.

It is important for candidates to already be fulfilling their call because the ordination is mean to affirm their calling. Ordaining a person is seeing that they have a calling, and are actively living it out, and the church is affirming that this person is fulfilling their ministry call in an effective way.
