John3:27
27 John answered, and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven .
The Ministry, and the success of the Ministry, must both be given a man from Heaven: Doth he baptize? it is a sign he is sent of God. Do all men come to him? that also is from God. An excellent Corrective of Ambition, Envy and Jealousie; no man hath in the Church of God Authority, but he to whom it is given from Heaven; no Authority over his Son.
