Spiritual ministry is the personal knowledge of God; the possessing of God; the being possessed by God and the impartation of God to others. Only those who know God,
who “possess” God and who are possessed by God are true believers. These are able to minister to God. However, those who minister to God will soon be sent by the Lord to minister to others. They will therefore go forth to give to others the God who has been possessed by them and the God who has possessed them, Spiritual ministry then is not just the impartation of some ideas, thoughts, doctrine, etc. to others. It is the impartation of God. Only those who can impart God to others are true ministers, for true ministry is the impartation of God.
If true ministry is the impartation of God, then All who would be ministers must have what is to be imparted - God, and have what it takes to impart Him to others. As far as Timothy was concerned he had to possess a sincere faith and a spiritual gift. The sincere faith talks of his possessing and being possessed by God and the spiritual gift talks of what it takes to impart the sincere faith to others.
