Inner Ministers Of Belief

Neville's Inner Vision

Paul and Apollos are not outsiders empowered over you; they are stages of your own consciousness, names for the inner powers through which faith takes form. The verse reveals that belief comes not from external teachers alone but from the I AM within, who endows each person with a ministry as a grace. When you equate faith with external messengers, you overlook the truth that belief flows through your own inner faculties. Paul can represent the disciplined mind, Apollos the inspired impulse—two aspects of your inner governor that confer belief. The line 'the Lord gave to every man' affirms that your vocation and your capacity to believe are divine provisions, not earned by others. The true reception of faith is not to imitate a man but to align with the inner giver, to identify with the I AM who furnishes your tool and task. Thus your ministry is the expression of your inner reality; trust that God has already endowed you with the instrument and the permission to act, here and now.
