In the Church, however, true ordination does not precede ministry; it follows it. Only after obviously functioning in certain areas of spiritual influence and ministry, by the enablement of the Holy Spirit, is a person truly ordained by God to do the work of a ministry.

Instead, he is recognized by man because he has already been spiritually ordained by God, and has already been functioning in the ministry that God has given to him!
