Some on here seem to have a problem with the proclamation of Gods calling on lives. There seems to be no problem with someone proclaiming that they are a pastor or teacher but when it comes to a prophet or apostle you just don't proclaim that fact.

In my experience the folks who have Apostle printed on their business cards are a bunch of wahoos.They have sullied the title.Just my O. Charles A. HutchinsSenior Pastor SPWCCongregational Church of Godwww.spwc.church

If they cling to the title and go out of their way to introduce themselves as Prophet this or Apostle that I usually tend to keep my guard up. But when someone is ministering at your church and the gifts of their calling manifest it is a sweet Spirit ...as long as they don't brag about it as I've heard some do.I have at times used a pastor friend to minister and he's quite the character but the gift of a prophet def flows through this guy. I like him cause he doesn't make anything over it, he just lets the Lord use him & the people are blessed.We had a couple who had multiple miscarriages & he prophesied they would have a son in 12 months. There is a lot more to the story but 12 months later they had their son, nice & healthy. Empty nest syndrome is for the birds!Email me at: [email protected] planters are focused on just one thing ...introducing people to Jesus!

True QW, I find myself in that exact position. I really don't want t be ..... but.... Some folk know how to push the WRONG buttons and cause mental rejection. Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/

Aside from the abuses, there are also sometimes cultural influences. In some cultures, being called by a title seems very important for some reason and the person tends to get miffed if they are not called by the title of Apostle or even Minister.But yeah....it's sorta like being a Christian. You don't have to go around telling everyone you are one. If you are a prophet or apostle, it will be very apparent. Most folks who truly walk in that calling are quite humble about it unless they are new in their journey & still finding their way More of Him...less of me.twitter.com/camiracle77www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=691241499&ref=name

I have had no problem calling myself Profit NBF.Get your love gifts into me before 12/31 for a special NBF declaration

Proclaim your calling

It was mentioned in some of the posts that abuses by prophets was a good reason for not having one at your church. I have been abused by pastors on a number of occasions so I guess you would agree that we need to use elders to carry out church instead of pastors.

Its already been stated, CA. Printing the office on a business card, church sign, website, etc., is little more thanSelf-aggrandizement Self-promotion for personal gainSelf-exaltation

Why not?
