There are two kinds of ministry in the field of God as follows:
Matthew 25:6
25:6. "And at midnight a cry was heard: 'Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!'

John 4:36-38
4:36. "And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.
4:37. "For in this the saying is true: 'One sows and another reaps.'
4:38. "I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have entered into their labors."
Now we are in the days of harvest or the last days and we reap what we have not sowed, because the earlier evangelists have sowed the gospel word. But God is fair. He who sows and he who reaps may receive the wages, namely heavenly bliss up to eternal life. Let us be lifted up to become the messenger of the LORD, namely the priest and king.
The priestis one who is holy and has ministry.

The deputation of God is linked with the time of harvest or the last days.
There are two kinds of ministry in the field of God as follows:
- The days of sowing(the first).
It means the revival of Holy Spirit at the first rain, namely the one in the gospel word or good news that preaches about Jesus' first coming to the world on the cross to call the sinners, so they believe Jesus and can be saved.
It has been done by the apostles of the first rain since Holy Spirit was poured in Jerusalem. It is continued by the evangelists from western country for about twenty centuries. - The days of harvest(the last).
It means the revival of Holy Spirit at the last rain, namely the one in the teaching word that is sharper than any two-edged sword or bride tidings that preaches about Jesus' second coming in the glory as king of kings and the bridegroom of Heaven, to choose saved people to be purified up to become perfect like Jesus.

Our heart and mind must be purified from sin of wickedness, uncleanness, and bitterness.
Sin of wickedness is the love of money, so we become greedy and stingy.
Stinginess means one cannot give for the work of God and others in need. We must be able to give according to the encouragement from God.
Greediness means one steals/ robs God's (the tithe and special offerings) and others' (one does not pay the debt or makes corruption).
Sin of uncleanness is sin of eating-drinking (smoking, getting drunk, and drugs abuse) and marrying-giving in marriage.
Sin of bitterness is hatred, revenge, and envy.
We must be purified up to our word.
