In Acts chapter 6, seven men were ordained as Deacons; their job was to wait tables (vs 2-3). Stephen who was the first recorded martyr was one of them, and Philip too. After Stephen was killed, many of the believers were scattered, and in chapter 8 we were told that Philip went to Samaria and we read plenty gist about him.
Remember that he started as a Deacon, right? Many chapters and many years later, chapter 21 verse 8, Philip was called Philip the Evangelist, the father o...f 4 unmarried girls that prophesied. Wow! Do you see what I see?

You may have been wrongly defined, you may have had to start from the bottom, but if you stay faithful to the assignment, you will be rightly defined. You cannot say “well they have told me to wait tables, so wherever I go, I will wait tables”, but your heart is saying “preach!!!” You cannot say “I would have loved to build a big company like Dangote, but life didn’t give me the opportunities that I need”, my dear start from where you are while keeping the dream in your heart. One day you will be rightly defined.
In one chapter of your life, they are saying that it’s an honour for you to be called to wait tables (yes it is), keep turning the pages while being faithful, till you get to the chapter where the people that have called you Deacon will finally call you what God has called you, the Evangelist.
God bless you
