Organizational work is not a step down. Nor is it a step up. All Kingdom work is a step sideways into the role God calls you to fulfill.
Jesus’ parable of the talents expresses this. Each man was given according to his ability, and not expected to return any more than he was able. Everyone on the field has the same responsibility… to do what you’re called to do.
If you are called by God to be a prince or a king, a prophet or a pastor, the responsibility is exactly the same… pour yourself out.
