ORDINATION IN ACOP

More than a technicality

A prophetic act

Ordination in ACOP is the human recognition or acknowledgement that God has called and appointed a person to a vocation life of ministry and service to the church.

"You shall put them on Aaron your brother and on his sons with him; and you shall anoint them and ordain them and consecrate them, that they may serve Me as priests."

RECOGNIZING THE CALL OF GOD ON SOMEONE'S LIFE

Ordination is about connecting with what God is already doing in someone’s life. It recognizes that God is already using someone and they are fulfilling their call. In other words, we don’t ordain people so they can fulfill their call, we ordain them to recognize and affirm that they already are. For this reason, as Ken said in his video clip: “An ordination is a sacred act that is not to be taken lightly” and we don’t ordain novices to the faith. Instead, we ordain people who have a proven track record of fulfilling their call.

    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.
