The Lord's workers can only begin their service after gaining a cert…

I believe that the Lord's workers can only serve after gaining a certain level of trust from people.

Without trust...😨
Pastors and missionaries cannot serve.

Therefore, trust is necessary for the Lord's work❗️

The problem with false apostles was that they tried to create this trust for themselves.

They were promoting themselves.
... "I prayed, so I was healed,"

"It happened just as I prophesied,"
... The subject is... "I"❗️

...Also... Job 1:8 says:

"The Lord said to Satan, 'Have you remembered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him, innocent and righteous, who fears God and stays away from evil.'"
...This shows that he was trusted by God.

Proverbs 27:2 says:

"Do not praise yourself with your mouth, but let others praise you..."

People around you are watching you.

1 Samuel 16:2 says:

"People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart."

Let us serve with sincerity so that the Lord may trust us!

Shalom 😃
