INTRODUCTION
Definition of Bi-Vocational
Bi-Vocational is an adjective word which erupted from the word Bi-Vocation and this word “Bi-Vocation” in a simple term denotes Bi-Profession. This implies two different work or two different occupations or two different jobs which are being practised together by a person. Bi-Vocational simply means “pertaining to Bi-Vocation, or concerning Bi-Vocation”. Now the word “Bi-Vocational” means “anything which is related with two different work or job or occupation”. Bi-Vocational is “of Double occupations”.
The Church Workers of double vocations as Levites are still relevant. The acts of Bi-vocational Church workers has their base in the scriptures because it has been a practice since nearly the beginning of the creation to the era of Jesus Christ and His Apostles, even till this contemporary period, there is manifestation of the practice of double vocations by Pastors and other Church workers as Levites. We should a biblical Minister of God that involved in double vocations in their times as below.
AARON – THE PRIEST AND PHYSICIAN IN ISRAEL OF HIS TIME:- The Mighty God called Aaron as a Priest and mandated him to work as Health Worker (Physician) in the midst of the Israelites (Leviticus 1: 1 – 3, Leviticus 14: 1 1 – 8). It was God that instructed Aaron to be a Priest and at the same time Health-worker. While the Lord God was acted as the Supreme Healer, God prescribed materials for use for Aaron as a Physician.
This made Aaron to be identified as a Bi-Vocational Priest among the Israelites of his time. This implies that it is not too much for anyone of these days Priests if God includes healthcare to his ministry. So, one could be a doctor or a nurse and be a Pastor.
